Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a support frame for arranging module units in a service vehicle, wherein four elongated elements form four corner columns of said support frame, wherein each of said elongated elements comprise four element sides forming a generally rectangular cross section of said elongated element.
  • Service vehicles are used for a wide range of areas and the cargo space may be equipped to suit a particular application.
  • a service vehicle may be used for storage and transport of tools for different kinds of craftsmen. It is common practise to equip the cargo space of a service vehicle with for instance storage cabinets, tool holders, shelves or other module units. It is also known to use flexible systems that allow for switching between different types of modules without having to change the whole vehicle.
  • the modules must be dimensioned to withstand quite large impacts or even collisions since the stored tools and equipments usually are heavy and roads and driving styles are not always smooth. In order to achieve acceptable roadworthiness for the vehicle, the tools or equipment must be thoroughly secured and not allowed to cause for instance too much vibration in the vehicle. During a collision it is also desired that the modules do not dislodge from the cargo space since such loose parts may cause even further damage to either drivers, vehicles or the surrounding. Thus, the modules are often made of rigid large metal sheets which are secured to the cargo space by bolts.
  • EP 1 894 773 shows a module system for a service vehicle which is adapted to allow different kinds of module units to be used in the cargo space and to change between module units without damaging the vehicle, such as drilling holes for bolts which may cause rust problems.
  • the system is based on rails mounted on the floor and the walls inside the cargo space and different kinds of module units may be secured to the rails.
  • a further known document US 5,921,052 A1 shows an elongated element, constructed of an aluminum extrusion, it discloses the preamble of claim 1.
  • an improved system adapted for cargo spaces of service vehicles In particular, there is a need for a flexible system which may be used for many different storage purposes and which is easily adapted for a certain types of storage. High demands are put onto the strength of the whole system which is a problem for several known systems. Further, the stored equipment should be easily accessible for the craftsman. Preferably, the system should also be light weight in order to reduce fuel consumption of the vehicle.
  • a support frame for arranging module units in a service vehicle wherein four elongated elements form four corner columns of said support frame, wherein each of said elongated elements comprise four element sides forming a generally rectangular cross section of said elongated element, wherein said support frame further comprises eight elongated elements transversely connecting said corner columns at their upper and lower ends to form a hollow box shaped support frame, said four corner columns define four surrounding sides, wherein said four surrounding sides have essentially the same width thus forming a generally square shaped cross section of said support frame, and a first element side and a fourth element side adjacent said first element side comprises fastening means for arranging a module device at said support frame, and a second element side and a third element side each comprises at least one undercut groove extending along said elongated
  • the support frame is made as a cage and able to stand alone and is thus easily moved between different positions inside the cargo space of a vehicle. Having the corner columns formed by elongated elements with rectangular cross sections with fastening means on two adjacent sides of the element sides allows for a flexible use of the support frame. For instance, module devices such as drawers may be inserted in at least two different directions in the same support frame, allowing a flexible support frame which may be accessible from different directions.
  • said corner columns are positioned so that a corner on each corner column formed by said first and fourth element sides points toward a point inside said support frame.
  • Module devices such as drawers, shelves, cabinet doors and brackets may be arranged in the fastening means of the elongated elements of a support frame.
  • the sides having fastenings means for the module devices are arranged on the interior of the support frame.
  • said fastening means comprise openings repeated at an interval along essentially the entire element sides. This allows module devices to be arranged at several different levels along the elongated elements.
  • said four corner columns define four surrounding sides, wherein said four surrounding sides have essentially the same width thus forming a generally square shaped cross section of said support frame. Having a support frame with four equally sized sides allows the support frame to be rotated 90 degrees and fastened in the same fastening arrangement.
  • a hollow box shaped structure is of low weight since no covering side material is necessary. Still the structure becomes stable enough particularly after it has been installed with module devices such as drawers and shelves.
  • said twelve elongated elements have the same cross sectional shape. If all elements are of the same cross sectional shape they may be manufactured from the same piece and cut into shorter segments in a late production stage. Having all elements of the same shape may to increase the capacity of production without increasing production costs.
  • said four element sides form a generally square shaped cross section of said elongated element. Having the four element sides equally wide may allow improved flexibility of the elements usage. For instance, a support frame which is arranged by such elongated elements may be rotated 90 degrees and fastened in the same fastening means.
  • said fastening means comprise openings repeated at intervals along said first and/or fourth element side. This allows module devices to be arranged at several different levels along the elongated elements
  • said second element side comprises at least one undercut groove extending along said elongated element.
  • the undercut groove may be used for fastening of the support frame to the vehicle or fastening or several support frames to each other.
  • said third element side comprises at least one undercut groove extending along said elongated element.
  • two sides of the elongated element may have undercut grooves.
  • said undercut grooves in said second and third element sides has essentially the same shape and are positioned at essentially the same distance from a corner formed by said second and third element sides. If two adjacent sides of the elongated element has undercut grooves with the same shape and located at the same distance from the corned between the two adjacent sides, the element may be used in a construction where the element may be turned 90 degrees and located at a new fixation direction inside the vehicle.
  • a surface of said undercut groove comprises at least one opening for insertion of fixing means.
  • said openings for insertion of fixing means are repeated with an interval along essentially the entire elongated element.
  • said undercut groove is essentially T-shaped, formed by a main portion and a stem portion, wherein said main portion is defined by two lower walls, two side walls and one upper wall, and wherein said stem portion is defined by two stem walls.
  • each of said lower walls and its adjacent stem wall define an S-shaped portion.
  • said upper wall has a convex shape.
  • said side walls are essentially straight.
  • a vehicle which has a support frame according to the first aspect of the invention.
  • An elongated element for arranging module units in a service vehicle comprising four element sides forming a generally rectangular cross section of said elongated element, wherein a first element side comprises fastening means for arranging a module device at said elongated element.
  • a second element side comprises at least one undercut groove extending along said elongated element. The undercut groove in the elongated element may be used to secure the elongated element to a cargo space of a service vehicle.
  • the undercut groove allows the major part of the forces on an elongated element during an impact, such as a sharp turn, heavy braking or a vehicle collision to be transferred to a larger part of the elongated element than if the elongated element was connected to the vehicle by means of fastening means such as bolts, rivets or screws.
  • the undercut groove may be used to secure several elongated elements to each other thus the impact transfer between different elements or sections of elements will be divided to a relatively large area of the element.
  • a complete system for storage of equipment transported in a service vehicle may be build up by such elongated elements.
  • Several elongated elements may be produced in one long element and in a later process step be cut onto pieces of suitable length.
  • a framework cage or support frame may be constructed for instance by having twelve such elongated elements, i.e. four corner columns, four upper horizontal elements and four lower horizontal elements, welded together in the corners of the cage.
  • Module devices such as drawer, shelves, cabinet doors and brackets may be arranged in the fastening means of the elongated elements of such a support frame.
  • Figure 1 shows one piece of an elongated element 1 forming part of the invention.
  • the elongated element 1 has an essentially square shaped cross section with four main sides 2, 3, 4, 5 with essentially the same width.
  • the side width is 27 mm, which is the modular dimension for this particular embodiment. This modular dimension is used although the design is introduced in order to full modularity in all aspects.
  • the elongated element 1 is produced from a sheet metal which is bent to form the particular shape of the element 1 by roll forming. Therefore, the corners between the main sides 2, 3, 4, 5 have a radius of about 0.2 - 2 mm.
  • the cross section of the elongated element 1 is essentially square shaped but has rounded corners.
  • the grooves 7, 9 have essentially the same shape, which will be described in more detail below.
  • Circular shaped bore holes 6 or openings 6 are located at the bottom of the grooves 7, 9 and repeated with an interval along the entire grooves 7, 9.
  • the circular openings has a diameter of 7 mm and are repeated with an interval equal to the modular dimension, i.e. 27 mm.
  • the other two sides 2, 5 are essentially flat and has openings 8 which correspond to the openings 6 in the grooves 7, 9, i.e. are located opposite the openings 6 in the grooves 7, 9, centred with respect to the side width, and repeated with the same interval as the opening 6 in the grooves 7, 9.
  • the openings 8 in the flat sides 2, 5 are square shaped with a side length of 9.2 mm for the shown embodiment.
  • the square shaped openings 8 in the flat sides 2, 5 are accompanied by smaller openings 16 located aside each square shaped opening 8 towards the corner of the elongated element 1 which is adjoin the other flat side 2, 5.
  • the smaller openings 16 have the same length as the square shaped openings 8, i.e. 9.2 mm, but are narrower having a side width of 3 mm, thus forming rectangular shaped openings 16.
  • the centre to centre distance between each square shaped opening 8 and its adjacent rectangular shaped opening 16 is 9 mm and the distance between the rectangular shaped opening 16 and the edge of the element side is 3 mm.
  • the elongated element 1 may be manufactured in any suitable length and element pieces may be cut in lengths suitable for the particular use.
  • Figure 2 shows the elongated element 1 in cross section, taken at a location along the elongated element 1 where no bore holes or openings are located, .i.e. at a location between the openings 6, 8, 16 in the sides 2, 3, 4, 5.
  • two adjacent sides 3, 4 of the main sides 2, 3, 4, 5 are formed with an undercut groove 7, 9. Since the elongated element 1 is formed by bending a sheet metal the grooves 7, 9 do not have any seams. After the elongated elements 1 has been bend and formed into the described shape it is welded together preferably in one of the element corners.
  • the two grooves 7, 9 have the same shape.
  • the first and the fifth portions 21, 25 comprise the passage between the element side 3 and the groove 7.
  • the first and fifth portions 21, 25 are essentially S-shaped and reversed S-shaped, respectively.
  • the first and fifth portions 21, 25 define, together with the size of the groove opening 20, the width of the groove.
  • the groove opening is here 8.2 mm and the total width of each groove is 14.5 mm.
  • the S-shaped portions are followed by the second and fourth portions 22, 24, which are straight and parallel portions to allow a certain depth of the groove.
  • the straight second and fourth portions 22, 24 are essentially perpendicular to the element side 3.
  • the groove 7 is completed by the third portion which connects the second and fourth portions 22, 24.
  • the third portion 23 is cup-shaped in order to allow screws with as many threads as possible to be fitted into the groove.
  • the grooves 7, 9 in the two adjacent element sides 3, 4 are very close to each other or even abutting each other along one portion of the third portion 23 of the grooves 7, 9.
  • the length of the portion where the groves 7, 9 are abutting each other depends on the particular cup-shape of the third portion 23 and also of the length of the second and fourth portions 22, 24.
  • Figures 3a and 3b show the elongated element 1 described in Figure 1 and 2 in two different side views.
  • the element 1 is turned so that the one of the element side 5 having fastening means 8, 16 is shown in a frontal view.
  • the fastening means is in the form openings 8, 16 arranged in pairs where one opening pair comprises one square shaped opening 8 and one rectangular shaped opening 16.
  • the square shaped opening 8 is located centrally on the element side 5 and the rectangular shaped opening 16 is located aside and turned so that one of the long sides of each rectangular opening 16 faces the square shaped opening 8.
  • the long sides of the rectangular shaped openings 8 have the same length as the side length of the square shaped openings 8.
  • the elongated element 1 is manufactured in a streamlined and accurate process.
  • the steel for the element 1 is delivered in the correct thickness and in a width that is exactly what is needed for the roll forming in the form of a coil. There is thus no waste. In the preferred embodiment it is a high strength steel in order to improve strength while maintaining a low weight.
  • the practically seen endless coil is unreeled and in the first manufacturing step the openings 6, 8, 16 are punched in the steel plate. Thereafter the steel plate is advanced forwards into a roll forming equipment where the shape of the elongated element 1 is stepwise formed.
  • the steel plate is advanced fed between the punching station and the roll forming equipment with a slack in order for the roll forming to take place without any disturbances from the punching station.
  • the two edges of the steel plate, which now after the roll forming are located immediately adjacent each other, are welded together to form a continuous "pipe" of elongated element 1.
  • the assemblage of the support frames 10 begins.
  • the correct number and lengths of elongated elements 1 are collected and welded together in the corners of the support frame 10 as discussed elsewhere, into a finally shaped support frame 10.
  • any protective and final coating such as a required colour is applied and the support frame 10 may be installed in a service vehicle 26. This is generally done by installing all drawers 19, 19', shelves, or any other equipment into and onto the support frame 10, packing it for transportation or storage and later delivering it to the installation location where it at some point is installed into the service vehicle 26.
  • FIG 4 shows support frames 10 assembled by elongated elements 1 of the shape described with reference to Figures 1-3 .
  • Each support frame 10 comprises four corner column elements 17 and eight transversal elements 18.
  • each support frame 10 is shaped like a cage and able to stand alone, although here the support frames 10 are shown as connected together.
  • Both the corner column elements 17 and the transversal elements 18 have the same profile as the element 1 described with reference to Figures 1-3 .
  • the elements 1 building up each support frame 10 are turned so than the corner between the two adjacent sides 3, 4 having grooves 7, 9 is directed away from a point inside that particular support frame 10.
  • the corner between the two adjacent sides 2, 5 having square and rectangular shaped openings 8, 16 is directed to a point inside that particular support frame 10.
  • One of the support frames 10 shown in Figure 4 has drawers 19' which are openable in a direction transverse to the opening direction of another support frame set of drawers 19. Since the support frame is built by elongated elements having fastening means 8, 16 on both interior sides 2, 5 of the each element 1 it is possible to place the drawers 19, 19' in several different directions. Every one of the four support frames 10 shown in Figure 4 has the same width and depth. In other words the support frames 10 are square shaped which means that the drawers 19, 19' may be inserted into the support frames from any side of the support frames 10. In addition, is becomes possible to loosen the mounting devices 27 and rotate a support frame for instance 90 degrees and then fasten it again using the same mounting devices 27.
  • the support frames 10 may naturally have any other required shape, normally any rectangular shape, to accommodate the desired equipment.
  • FIG 5 a set of assembled support frames 10 are shown arranged inside a service vehicle 26.
  • the set of drawers placed close to the rear door of the service vehicle 26 may be arranged with a drawer opening direction essentially along the driving direction of the vehicle 26.
  • Figure 5 shows several support frames 10 assembled and arranged inside a cargo space of a service vehicle 26.
  • the support frames 10 may be used for storage of for instance tools or other equipments.
  • the support frames 10 are connected to the interior wall and/or floor of the service vehicle 26 by means of the T-shaped undercut grooves 7, 9 on the rear side 3, 4 and/or the underside of the elongated elements 1 (not shown in the drawing). Further, the support frames 10 are connected to each other using mounting devices 27 which are described in more detail with reference to Figures 6 and 7 below.
  • Each support frame 10, as the ones shown in Figure 4 and 5 is welded together in the support frame corners having the vertical elements 18 inside the corner column elements 17. Consequently the welding surfaces become the end surfaces of each vertical element 18 which is welded to the uppermost or lowermost piece of each side 2, 5 of the corner column elements 17 having square and rectangular shaped openings 8, 16.
  • the support frames 10 may be assembled in several different sizes. If the modular dimension is used as a basis, several different sizes may be used and still be compatible to each other. For instance one support frame may be twice as wide, or four times as wide, as another and still they may be connected in the same system of support frames. In addition, for instance if there is an obstacle inside the cargo space, such as the wheel housing (see Figure 5 ), a support frame with a smaller height may be used such as an integer multiplied by the modular length or modular dimension. In the same manner a support frame with smaller depth may be used (not shown in the drawings), for instance at the upper level of a system of support frames to fit the particular cargo space in an optimal manner.
  • FIG. 6a-b and Figure 7 show the mounting device 27 which is used to connect two elongated elements 1 to each other.
  • a mounting device 27 comprises one washer 28 having a basically rectangular shape, two screws 29 and two screw nuts 30.
  • the washer 28 has two bore holes 31 for the screws 29, located at a centre to centre distance of 27 mm which correspond to the centre to centre distance between the grooves 7, 9 of two elongated elements 1 when arranged side by side abutting each other.
  • each long side of the washer 28 has two protrusions 32, located at the bore holes 31 and adapted to be fitted into the grooves 7, 9 of the elements 1 to stabilize the washer 28 and facilitate positioning of the mounting device 27.
  • the screw nuts 30 have an oblong shape and when seen in a front view, looking straight into the bore holes as is depicted in Figures 6a-b , the screw nut 30 has the shape of a parallelogram. The tilting of the parallelogram is clockwise, as seen from the side where the screw 29 enters the screw nut 30. The smallest parallelogram height is slightly smaller than the groove opening 20 of the grooves 7, 9 in the elongated element 1. Thus, if the screw nut 30 is turned so that the long sides of the parallelogram shaped screw nut 30 is parallel with the groove 7, 9, as in Figure 6a , the screw nut 30 is allowed to be placed into the groove 7, 9 at any location along the groove. This gives the advantage that the screw nut 30 does not have to be placed into the groove 7, 9 in the end of the elongated element 1 but may be placed into the groove 7, 9 at any place along the groove 7, 9.
  • the length of the long side of the parallelogram is long enough to allow the screw nut 30 to be turned about 45 degrees in clockwise direction inside the groove 7, 9.
  • the short sides of the screw nut 20 are essentially parallel with the groove 7, 9.
  • the short side of the screw nut 30 will be locked against the interior side wall of the groove 7, 9.
  • the screw nut 30 stays in place as the screw 29 is screwed into the nut 30, which normally is made in clockwise direction.
  • the screw nut should instead be made having anti-clockwise threads and with an anti-clockwise tilting shape of the nut 30.
  • the screw nut 30 is essentially T-shaped, formed by a main portion and a stem portion and where the upper contour of the main portion has the shape of a sector of a circle with a radius of 9 mm.
  • the screws 29 of the mounting device 27 are not necessarily inserted through the circular shaped openings in the grooves 6.
  • the circular shaped openings 6 are present to enable through bolts but for a mounting device 27 as the one shown in Figures 6 and 7 the circular shaped openings 6 does not directly participate in the mounting arrangement.
  • the screws 29 will pass through the circular openings 6, at least as long as the screws 29 are of a certain length, but the circular openings 6 will not be directly subject to impact if the vehicle 20 turns, accelerate or decelerate.
  • the circular openings 6 in the grooves 7, 9 are also useful to facilitate positioning of the fastening means 27 in the grooves 7, 9.
