Definitions

  • This invention pertains in general to the field of supporting systems for furnitures and the like. More particularly the invention relates to supporting systems for shelves and the like. Specifically, this invention pertains to a support system for a shelf, said system comprising a rail and there from connected distally projecting male members, said male members being configured to interact with mating female apertures located in the shelf.
  • a support system is known e.g. from document GB 2 109 672 A .
  • US 4,381,715 discloses a shelf support system, comprising threaded fasteners for securement to a wall, each fastener bearing a support shaft and a spring clip for interengagement with detent grooves which run lengthwise of elongated recessed chambers within the shelf.
  • the system according to US 4,381,715 comprises lips projecting upwardly and downwardly between the shelf and the wall to be accessible from above or below the shelf.
  • the system according to US 4,381,715 may not be closingly fitted against the wall.
  • US 6,164,610 discloses a modular shelf mounting system having a bracket member with forwardly projecting multiple cantilevered male members, which male members are inserted into mating female apertures located in the shelf.
  • US 6,164,610 discloses a system, wherein the shelf is mounted onto the bracket by the aid of multiple screw members, to thereby exclude the cantilevered forwardly projecting members.
  • the system according to US 6,164,610 is restricted to a predefined distance between the projecting male members or between mating female apertures, thus limiting the use of the system to a specific bracket member with dependent shelves.
  • the embodiment comprising projecting multiple male members cannot be fixed to the shelf and can thereby not withstand horizontal movement of the shelf, while the embodiment with multiple screw members cannot be horizontally adjusted, since the distance between the screw member hole and the wall is fixed.
  • an eventual horizontal displacement of the system - due to uneven walls - is impossible, if you want to fixate the shelf to the system and thereby to the wall.
  • the present invention preferably seeks to mitigate, alleviate or eliminate one or more of the above-identified deficiencies in the art and disadvantages singly or in any combination and solves at least the above mentioned problems by providing a system, wherein said male member is provided with a through slot extending from the distal end to the proximal end of the male member, said through slot being open in said distal end.
  • Fig. 1 discloses in a perspective view of a rail of a system according to an embodiment of the invention in an non-mounted configuration.
  • the rail 11 has a substantially flat base portion 12 for interaction with the wall upon which the system is intended to be mounted.
  • the base portion 12 is provided with a plurality of through holes 13 configured for receiving screw members there-through, to thereby allow fastening of the rail 11 to a wall by said screw members in an old-fashioned way.
  • the rail 11 is further provided with a substantially flat male member 14 , extending in a horizontal/saggital plane in respect of the rail 11 , which male member 14 is substantially perpendicular to said base portion 12 .
  • the male member 14 is provided with a through slot extending from the distal end to the proximal end of the male member 14 , said through slot being open in said distal end.
  • Fig. 2 discloses a system according to an embodiment of the invention in a side cross-sectional view.
  • the male member 14 is adapted to fit with in a female groove 15 in a shelf 16, such that the male member 14 is mating with the female groove 15 .
  • the shelf 16 has a void 17 on the short side of the shelf - in between a top surface 18 and a bottom surface 19 of the shelf 16 .
  • the female groove 15 thus runs into the void 17 .
  • Said void 17 is adapted to house the rail 11 , comprising the base portion 12 and provided with a mating female groove 15 .
  • the top and bottom surfaces 18 , 19 may be closingly fitted against the wall, such that the system, i.e. the rail 11 , is substantially invisible, when the system is in a mounted state.
  • the top or bottom surface 18 , 19 may be provided with screw hole 20 crossing the female groove 15 .
  • the screw hole 20 may have an upper section 21 , between the female groove 15 and the mouth of the screw hole 20 in the top or bottom surface 18 , 19 , and a lower section 22, between the female groove 15 and the bottom of the screw hole 20 .
  • the upper section 21 may be adapted for receiving a screw member head, having a larger diameter than the threaded part of the screw member, while the lower section 22 may be adapted for receiving the threaded part of said screw member in an interactive and fixating way.
  • the upper section 21 may have a larger diameter than the lower section 22 .
  • the through slot of the male member 14 which male member is substantially perpendicular to said base portion 12 , is adapted to receive the threaded part of a screw member there through, while the through slot simultaneously is adapted to act as a screw member seat for the screw member head. Since the through slot may be open in said distal end the screw member may be partly screwed into the shelf 16 before the shelf 16 is arranged on the rail 11. Partly screwed is in this context intended to be interpreted as if the threaded part of the screw member is screwed partly into the lower section 22 of the screw hole, such that the screw member is attached to the shelf 16 . When the shelf 16 then is arranged on the rail 11 the screw member arranged in the screw hole may enter the open distal end of the male member 14 .
  • the screw member When the shelf 16 is in the desired position, the screw member is fully screwed into the screw hole, whereby the screw member head interacts with runners 23 formed on each side of the through slot of the male member 14 , as can be seen in Fig. 1 .
  • the runners 23 acts as screw member seat for the screw member, whereby the shelf 16 may be fixed to the wall, due to the male member 14 - attached to the rail 11 , which in turn is attached to the wall.
  • a shelf may be horizontally adjusted due to irregularities in the wall structure, while the shelf still may be fixed to said wall.
  • the male member 14 is slidably attached to the rail 11 .
  • the rail 11 is attached to a wall by screw members in screw holes of the rail 11 , in accordance with the embodiment disclosed above and illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2 .
  • the rail 11 is provided with an upper and a lower track.
  • the male member 14 is arranged on a slider.
  • the slider is provided with upper and lower engagement pins, adapted to run at upper and lower tracks, respectively, such that the slider only is movable in the longitudinal direction of the rail 11 .
  • the slider is preferably slid into engagement with the rail 11 at the side end of the rail 11. Thereby, the slider may be arranged on the rail in a horizontally slidable way, while still being vertically fixed to the rail 11 .
  • the system is not limited by a specific relationship between the distance of projecting male members and thereto mating female apertures, whereby the system not is limited to one rail fitting only one shelf.
  • a shelf having a width smaller than the distance between the projecting male members, whereby a specific bracket member or rail with smaller distance between the projecting male members has to be provided is solved.
