Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a shelving or set of shelves preferably of metallic material, of the modular type, i.e. of the type adapted to be assembled and installed by the final user.
  • the above shelving is characterised by easy assembly (particular technical skill is not required for installation), simple transportation (each kit can usually be handled and transported by a single person), inexpensiveness in manufacture and easy storage in the sale stores.
  • the aforesaid types of shelving comprise four vertical posts to which two or more horizontal shelves or boards are fastened.
  • the vertical posts have the function of supporting the horizontal shelves and the task of the latter is to bear the stored goods.
  • the vertical posts have two halves forming an L-shaped configuration of the post section and are provided with a plurality of fastening regions (usually holes) each of which is adapted to interact with a shelf in such a manner as to enable the shelf to be mounted to the height the most appropriate for final use of same.
  • the vertical posts in particular the post ends, can be usually matched together to enable creation of shelving solutions of any height.
  • Shelves are of rectangular shape and have a flat surface (adapted to receive the goods) of a thickness in the order of one millimetre provided with stiffening elements (placed on the opposite side relative to the surface designed to receive the goods) adapted to give more structural stiffness to the flat surface.
  • stiffening elements are in the most different shapes, while all of them have a longitudinal extension, i.e. they extend from one (short) side of the shelf to the other.
  • the stiffening elements are made integral with the flat surface through welding or gluing.
  • shelves have vertical shoulders extending from each of the perimetral edges of the flat surface. These shoulders have a dual function, i.e. of stiffening the flat surface to a higher degree and enabling the latter to be joined to the vertical posts.
  • shoulders comprise a plurality of holes that are adapted to face the holes of the vertical posts so that by inserting a bolt into a hole of the shoulder and into the corresponding hole in the post, the post and shelf are fastened to each other.
  • each shelf is fastened to both halves of each post, thus creating a steady structure.
  • a crossbar is fastened between two posts (by means of bolts and nuts, for example) and the shelf is in turn fastened to the crossbar (by means of bolts and nuts or by mechanical friction fit, for example).
  • each crossbar is to mutually fasten two posts, while the function of a bracket is to fasten the post pairs to each other.
  • This kind of shelving is for example disclosed by document US 2065133A .
  • FR 2506582 shows a shelving according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the shelving solutions of the known art briefly described above have some drawbacks. In fact, these sets of shelves do not always have an appropriate structural stiffness. Therefore it is sometimes necessary to fasten the shelving to a wall to ensure steady positioning of same. Other times active tie-rods are required to be provided between one shelf and the other one for stiffening the whole shelving, which will hinder easy access to the shelves.
  • each shelf is clearly a function of the stiffening element placed under the supporting surface of the shelf. Therefore, for increasing the useful capacity it is necessary to resort to stiffening elements of complicated shape that cannot be always fastened under the supporting surface with ease.
  • the sizes of these containers are very similar to, or identical with the sizes of a shelf multiplied by the number of shelves forming the shelving. This minimum bulkiness sometimes creates strong limits to the operating range of the carriers charged with transport from the manufacturing place to the sale point.
  • shelves of the aforesaid type are very cheap devices (in terms of production costs) and therefore the transport charges have a great incidence on the final price.
  • the technical task of the present invention is to make available a set of shelves or shelving free of the above mentioned drawbacks.
  • the present invention aims at providing a set of shelves having high structural stiffness when in use.
  • Another aim of the invention is to provide a set of shelves enabling optimal access to shelves.
  • a further aim of the invention is to make available a set of shelves of simple structure and with high shelf capacity.
  • a still further aim of the invention is to propose a set of shelves of very reduced bulkiness when dismantled.
  • Shelving 1 comprises four vertical posts 2 each of which is provided with fastening regions 3.
  • Each post 2 is made up of a section member having an L-shaped section, i.e. consisting of two substantially plate-shaped elements fastened to each other at right angles.
  • the fastening regions 3 can be a plurality of holes disposed upon each other (if bolts and nuts are used) or a plurality of hooks (if the constraints between the shelving components consist of mechanical pressure fits), as will be clarified in the following.
  • Shelving 1 further comprises at least one first horizontal shelf 4 and one second horizontal shelf 5 disposed in side by side relationship for defining a rest surface.
  • Each shelf 4, 5 comprises a flat surface 4a, 5a and vertical shoulders 4b, 5b extending from two opposite edges of the respective flat surfaces.
  • a horizontal wing 4c, 5c extends from each vertical shoulder 4b, 5b.
  • the horizontal wings 4c, 5c extend starting from a portion of the distal vertical shoulder relative to the shoulder portion adjacent to the flat surface 4a, 5a of the shelf. Wings 4c, 5c are substantially parallel to the flat surface 4a, 5a of the shelf.
  • each shelf 4, 5 only comprises two vertical shoulders 4b, 5b.
  • the horizontal wings 4c, 5c as well are only two in each shelf 4, 5. Therefore each shelf 4, 5 is made up of the flat surface 4a, 5a, the two vertical shoulders 4b, 5b and the two horizontal wings 4c, 5c, as shown in Figs. 1 and 3 .
  • the individual shelves 4, 5 do not comprise any element that is glued or welded to the surface opposite to the flat surface 4a, 5a.
  • each shelf is of one piece construction, i.e. is made up of a single plate of material, preferably metal material and is of constant thickness included between 0.3 and 1 mm, preferably being 0.5 mm thick.
  • Each vertical shoulder 4b, 5b of each shelf 4, 5 comprises fastening regions 6. These fastening regions 6 are disposed in a peripheral position of the shoulder, i.e. in the vicinity of the free shoulder edges, as shown in Fig. 1 . In the preferred embodiment of the invention the fastening regions 6 also extend on wings 4c, 5c.
  • the fastening regions 6 can be a plurality of round holes disposed upon each other (if bolts and nuts are used) or a plurality of rectangular holes (if the constraints between the shelving components are mechanical pressure fits), or yet a combination of round and rectangular holes (as in the preferred embodiment of the invention) to enable assembly of the shelves both by pressure fit and with bolts and nuts 100.
  • shelves 4, 5 are all identical with each other and preferably each of them has a mirror-like symmetry relative to an axis lying in the flat surface 4a, 5a.
  • Shelving 1 further comprises a first 7 and a second 8 crossbar.
  • Each crossbar comprises a vertical shoulder 7b, 8b perpendicular to the shelf 4, 5 (when the shelf is in use) and a horizontal bracket 7a, 8a of an extension parallel to the flat surface 4a, 5a of the shelf 4, 5.
  • Each horizontal bracket 7a, 8a comprises at least one opening 9 to enable passage of shoulders 4b, 5b of the shelves 4, 5 during the shelving assembling steps (as better clarified in the following).
  • the number of openings 9 is the same as the number of active shelves (i.e. shelves resting on the crossbar) less one (in the embodiment shown only one opening 9 is present).
  • This opening 9 is placed to a distance from a side edge of the crossbar substantially equal to the width measured between the two vertical shoulders 4b, 5b of a shelf 4, 5. Opening 9 extends over the whole depth (intended as the transverse dimension) of the bracket 7a, 8a of the crossbar.
  • opening 9 has a wedge-shaped configuration, the wedge vertex being very near to the vertical shoulder 7b, 8b of the crossbar.
  • Each horizontal bracket in additional comprises two further openings 9a placed at the side ends of the bracket, to enable passage of shoulders 4b, 5b of shelves 4, 5 during the shelving assembling steps (as better clarified in the following).
  • the further openings 9a extend over the whole depth (intended as transverse direction) of the bracket 7a, 8a of the crossbar.
  • the further openings 9a have such a shape as to generate flaring of the side ends of the horizontal bracket (see Fig. 2 ).
  • the further openings 9a are always two in number, irrespective of the number of the shelves forming the rest surface.
  • a horizontal wing 7c, 8c extends from the vertical shoulder 7b, 8b of bracket 7, 8.
  • the horizontal wing 7c, 8c extends starting from a distal portion of the vertical shoulder relative to the shoulder portion adjacent to the horizontal bracket 7a, 8a of the crossbar.
  • the wing 7c, 8c is substantially parallel to the horizontal crossbar bracket.
  • Each crossbar 7, 8 only comprises one vertical shoulder 7b, 8b, one horizontal bracket 7a, 8a and one wing 7c, 8c. Therefore, each crossbar 7, 8 is made up of the vertical shoulder 7b, 8b, horizontal bracket 7a, 8a and wing 7c, 8c, as shown in Fig. 3 .
  • each bracket is of one piece construction, i.e. it is made up of a single plate, preferably of plastic material, of constant thickness included between 0.5 and 1.5 mm, preferably of 0.8 mm.
  • the vertical shoulder 7b, 8b of each crossbar 7, 8 comprises fastening regions 10. These fastening regions 10 are disposed in a peripheral position of the shoulder, i.e. in the vicinity of the free shoulder edges, as shown in Fig. 2 . In the preferred embodiment of the invention the fastening regions 10 also extend on wings 7c, 8c.
  • the fastening regions 10 can be a plurality of round holes disposed upon each other (if bolts and nuts 100 are used) or a plurality of rectangular holes (if the constraints between the shelving components are mechanical pressure fits), or yet a combination of round and rectangular holes (as in the preferred embodiment of the invention) to enable assembling of the shelves both by fitting and by bolts and nuts 100.
  • crossbars 7, 8 are all identical with each other.
  • the first horizontal crossbar 7 is directly fastened to two vertical posts 2 and the second horizontal crossbar 8 is directly fastened to two other vertical posts 2 distinct from those concerned with the first horizontal post 7, as shown in Fig. 3 .
  • the first horizontal shelf 4 is directly fastened to two vertical posts 2 and the second shelf 5 is directly fastened to two other vertical posts 2.
  • the vertical posts 2 engaged by each shelf 4, 5 are in engagement with the first horizontal crossbar 7 and the second horizontal crossbar 8.
  • the first shelf 4 is directly fastened to two vertical posts 2, each of which is directly fastened to the first 7 or the second 8 crossbar.
  • constraint members act between elements directly fastened to each other, i.e. further structural elements are not interposed between the two elements.
  • Each horizontal shelf 4, 5 is put in contact with both crossbars 7, 8.
  • Each shelf 4, 5 only rests on the crossbars 7, 8 and is not fastened thereto. In particular, each shelf rests, through the flat surface 4a, 5a, on the horizontal bracket 7a, 8a of each crossbar 7, 8.
  • a vertical shoulder 4b, 5c of the first and second shelves is directly fastened to two vertical posts 2.
  • the vertical shoulder 7b, 8b of each crossbar 7, 8 is directly fastened to two vertical posts 2.
  • crossbars 7, 8 and brackets 4, 5 are not directly fastened to each other, but these elements are only in mutual contact relationship (in a rest condition).
  • first 4 and second shelves 5 are directly fastened to each other at the respective vertical shoulders 4b, 5b facing each other (therefore not fastened to the vertical posts 2).
  • the two vertical shoulders 4b, 5b fastened to each other define, in combination with the respective wings 4c, 5c, a rib 4d having an "IPE" section that is disposed under the rest surface of the shelf (see Fig. 3 ).
  • This "IPE” rib greatly stiffens the structure defined by the approached arrangement of shelves 4, 5 enabling a great capacity of the rest surface.
  • the rest surfaces (which usually have the greatest bulkiness in the disassembled package) are divided into brackets to be disposed in side by side relationship, thus greatly reducing the package bulkiness during transportation.
  • brackets can be mutually piled up, the respective vertical shoulders 4b, 5b being inserted between two flat surfaces 4a, 5a in such a manner that two brackets can be located within the geometric bulkiness of one bracket.
  • Shelving assembly contemplates the operation of fastening (for instance by means of bolts and nuts 100) the first crossbar 7 to two vertical posts 2 ( Fig. 2 ). Subsequently, the second crossbar 8 too is fastened to the remaining two posts 2.
  • the vertical shoulders 4b, 5b are then fastened to each other (in particular those facing each other) and to the vertical posts 2 ( Fig. 3 ).
  • tie-rods or other structural elements in addition to the mentioned ones are not present, which will make access to the rest surface very easy.
  • the shelves can be more than two.
  • a plurality of pairs of shelves can be present (in the example shown the pairs of shelves are two).
  • the shelves can be disposed in side by side relationship not only by pairs, but also in a greater number.
  • each rest surface can consist of three shelves disposed side by side.
  • the central shelf identical with the two others has both the vertical shoulders directly fastened to the vertical shoulders of the adjacent shelves.
  • the rest surface is provided with the "IPE" ribs.
