Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the technical field concerning the equipment, the furnishings and the furniture for shops and houses and it refers to a support device particularly suitable for the support and/or to the exhibition of clothing, objects and goods in general.
  • a drawback of these known supports consists in that the arms positioning cannot be achieved everywhere along the support but is obliged at the hooks slot seats positions obliging the support configuration and the space use.
  • Another drawback consists in that the it needs relatively a lot of time, attention , capability and sometimes assembly tools to hook, to unhook and to reposition the protruding arm on the support element which render complex and expensive the installation and adjustment of the known supports.
  • Another drawback consists in that the slot seats necessary for the hooks, besides to determine or condition the support general esthetics, get weak the support elements and are more expensive.
  • An obj ect of the present invention is to propose a support device to position as desired and without any limitations the arms along the respective supports.
  • Another object is to propose a device which allows anybody in easy and immediate manner, to fix an arm to a support and continuously to adjust the position of the arm.
  • Another object is to propose a device virtually free from scratches and damages due to the arms fixing and repositioning.
  • Further object is to propose a device whose arms don't break away when falling down even if they are subjected to loads in the opposite direction in respect to the working direction.
  • number 1 indicates the support device, object of the present invention, comprising at least a connection means 2 having a support means 4, for instance cantilever shaped.
  • connection means 2 is associable to a corresponding elongated prop means 5 and assigned, in an operative condition, to be fixed vertically or almost like a free upright or column.
  • the outer side surface 51 of the prop means 5 has straight lines generatrix and parallel in respect to the longitudinal axis of the same prop means 5, which therefore can be prismatic shaped, for example rectangular, square, polygonal in general or curved transverse section; preferably said prop means 5 has right cylinder shape as shown in the figures 1 - 3 , 10 and 11 .
  • connection means 2 includes a cavity whose inner surface 21 is shaped complementary to a portion of the outer surface 51 of the prop means 5 and its transverse dimensions are equal to or slightly bigger than those of the outer surface 51.
  • said inner surface 21 of the connection means 2 reproduces the shape of a portion of the outer side surface 51 of the prop means 5 and so preferably consists of a cylindrical surface portion with the same diameter or better slightly bigger than that of the prop means 5.
  • connection means 2 and its inner surface 21 have a lateral opening 22 whose main dimension is inclined in respect to the straight lines generatrix of the inner surface 21.
  • the minimum width of the lateral opening 22 is sufficient to allow the passage of the prop means 5 for example having a clearance of few millimeters to facilitate the insertion.
  • the projection of the lateral opening 22 on a plane perpendicular to said generatrix of the inner surface 21 has smaller sizes than the corresponding transverse section of the prop means 5 or smaller than the diameter of the cylindrical outer surface 51 of the connection means.
  • the inner surface 21 of the cavity of the connection means is preferably geometrically shaped similar to the portion of the cylindrical outer surface 51 of the prop means 5 included between two geometric planes mutually almost parallel and inclined at an angle ranging between 30° and 60°, preferably at about 45°, in respect to the straight lines generatrix of said inner surface 21.
  • the intermediate curved geometric line of said inner surface 21 has therefore an elliptic shape interrupted at the lateral opening 22.
  • connection means 2 When the main dimension of the lateral opening 22 is almost parallel in respect to the longitudinal axis of the prop means 5, it is possible to insert and engage this latter into the cavity of the connection means 2 while when the longitudinal geometric axes of the inner surface 21 of said cavity and of the prop means 5 are coinciding, the connection means 2 cannot be disengaged by the prop means 5 except by rotating this latter until the return in the parallelism condition between the lateral opening 22 and the prop means 5.
  • the inner surface 21 of the connection means 2 will have four flat faces which form interposed square corners and, as seen, it is interested by the lateral opening 22.
  • the intermediate geometric line of said inner surface 21 assumes therefore a rectangular shape interrupted at the lateral opening 22.
  • connection means 2 is further more equipped with a coupling 23 for the support means 4 and oriented approximately parallelly in respect to the projection of the lateral opening 22 onto a geometric plane perpendicular to the straight lines generatrix of the inner surface 21.
  • the intermediate portion of the lateral opening 22 of the inner surfaces 21 is approximately placed at the incidence point of the minor axis of the intersection between one of the geometric planes and the outer surface 51 with the same outer surface 51.
  • the coupling 23 is approximately placed at the incidence point of the main axis of the intersection between one of the geometric planes and the outer surface 51 with the same outer surface 51.
  • the coupling 23 is placed at an intersection point of the major axis of said median line with said line, while the central point of the lateral opening 22 is at an intersection point of the minor axis of said median line with said line.
  • the inner surface 21 of the cavity of the connection means 2 has a first hollow seat 25 and a second hollow seat 26 carried out near the coupling 23 and positioned opposed to it 23.
  • each hollow seat 25, 26 a respective magnet means 27, 28is locked inside, for example by means of glue, mortise or clamping, preferably of neodymium type and they are discoid or pad shaped.
  • the prop means 5 is made of a magnetizable material. In this way, when the connection means 2 is engaged to the prop means, the magnets, acting on the magnetizable material of the prop means, maintain the connection means 2 in the engaged position in respect to the prop means 5 also in the presence of forces, having lower intensity than a certain threshold exceed the magnetic forces, turned towards disengaging direction.
  • the magnets prevent undesired sliding of the connection means 2 along the prop means 5.
  • the invention provides the possibility to use only one magnet or a number of magnets bigger than two.
  • Each hollow seat 25, 26 of the connection means 2 has a peripheral extension 30, 31 assigned to house respective friction means 32, 33, for example of O-ring type or obtained by punching an elastomeric material sheet or by die-molding and equipped with an adhesive or glueable face in the hollow seat 25, 26.
  • the friction means 32, 33 are assigned to match the outer surface 51 of the prop means 5 to cooperate in preventing the undesired sliding of the connection means 2 along the prop means 5; furthermore, they preserve the prop means 5 from superficial scratches and damages.
  • the support means 4 has a mounting portion 41 for a first chamber 24 of the coupling 23 of the connection means 2.
  • Said mounting portion 41 and the first chamber 24 have complementary cylindrical or truncated conical shape or the like, with respective anti-rotation flat portions 42, 34.
  • the mounting portion 41 has furthermore a threaded hole for a fixing screw 43 whose head portion is housed in a pass-through opening 35 carried out through the connection means 2 and directing into the first chamber 24, preferably under the respective magnet.
  • connection means 2 not interfering with the coupling 23 or with the lateral opening 22, are approximately shaped as "D" , circumference sector or ellipses sector.
  • connection means 2 is preferably made of aluminum, aluminum alloys or other metal, in a single body with the portion having the first chamber 24.
  • the operation of the device 1 provides the vertical assembly of one or more prop means 5, for example in a shop, in an exposition area, in a wardrobe, in a wardrobe-room, etc. and the application at each of said prop means 5, for example of tubular type with cylindrical wall, of one or more connection means 2 with the respective support means 4 to support products, hangers for dresses, blisters, shelves, spot lights, etc....
  • the support means 4 can be shaped and realized in the most various shapes and materials to adapt the device to the various needs
  • the support means 4 are metallic type and rod shaped.
  • the device characteristics allow at the same time an easy and prompt application and setting-up of the support means 4 and their stable and safe fixing also when they are unloaded.
  • the variant of the device in figure 10 differs from the previous embodiment only because of the presence of a terminal stop 44 fixed at the free end of the support means 4 to prevent the undesired falling-down of hangers or blisters.
  • the variant of the device in figures 11 and 12 differs from the first embodiment because of a set of cantilever means 45 fixed to the rod of the support means 4.
  • Each of said cantilever means 45 is equipped with one or more bearing means 46, for example consisting of rubber pads made of transparent silicon material, to support the shelves, for example made of glass. Furthermore, in said variant the coupling 23 is equipped with a second chamber 36 for an rotation preventing means 37 in "L" shaped for said shelves sustained by the cantilever means 45.
  • An end of the rotation preventing means 37 is equipped with a kind of small cap assigned to protect the edges of the respective shelf and the other end is equipped with a hole 38 engageable by the fastening screw 43 to block the rotation preventing means 37 to the coupling 23.
