Definitions

  • the invention relates to metal shelving for sale of goods, which are notoriously of modular type, typically comprising a pair of posts at whose lower end perpendicular cantilevered bases are fixed; the bases rest on the ground with interposed adjustable feet, and are also hooked and fixed to the posts; moreover at different heights and above said bases horizontal shelves transversally link the two posts; upon the shelves goods are displayed and organized.
  • the two posts are transversally linked to each other, and stabilized with vertical back panels.
  • a shelving unit has to support goods weighing around 600 kg.
  • the shelving must be able to be quickly and safely assembled and disassembled, in order to be able to adapt the displaying space to different needs, which can also change over time.
  • the assembling sequence starts with the fixing of the bases to the posts, bearing in mind that, according to different solutions of prior art, the adjustable feet can be present on bases only or on posts too, and that feet can be applied on posts, before or after the hooking of the base on the post itself.
  • a limit of the known art is that the means anchoring the base to the post are often fixed through screws or directly welded on the proximal end of the base itself, involving a surface of limited width of the base itself, which is loaded with concentrated and significant loads; this can lead to failure, with the ensuing risk.
  • feet are dimensioned according to the kind of post, and often the feet possess different shapes and dimensions, e.g. designed for so-called gondola shelving, having bases and shelves on both sides of the posts, or for so-called wall shelving, having bases and shelves on only one side of the posts.
  • a first disadvantage of the known art consists in the assembling and especially disassembling sequence, in that with the known solutions the shelving must be disassembled in all its components (posts, feet, bases) in order to reconfigure.
  • a further disadvantage of the known art comes from the fact that, having several types of feet with different shapes and dimensions, difficulties may occur in the worksite in finding the correct foot for that specific configuration of shelving. This also translates into a disadvantage for the shelving producer, who is obliged to produce and stock more than one kind of feet.
  • patent US 5 205 421 published in 1993 in the name of R.T. BUSTOS is quoted, which teaches how to connect the base to the post of a shelving through a transversal pin having mainly the aim of forming a hinge.
  • This patent teaches to provide above the base, in correspondence of said hinge, an adjustable supporting means with the post, so as to adjust the verticality of the post itself. This adjustment however does not counter the angular oscillations of the post when detaching the base. Even if this patent anticipates the use of a ground supporting foot at post's bottom end, this solution does not allow to safely disassemble the base while the shelving is loaded.
  • ES 2 160 501 B1 patent filed 30-6-1999 in the name of YUDIGAR is quoted, too.
  • This patent teaches that the proximal end of base is provided at its top end with a protruding, upwardly opened, hook, to be inserted into a frontal opening of the post, which rests in the groove of the hook.
  • transversal bores with which corresponding bores of a pair of wings welded to the base's proximal end are aligned, and in such bores in a second time a transversal pin is inserted, in the form of a bolt or other removable means.
  • the post is not provided with supporting feet, which are present only on the base.
  • the transversal fixing pin crossing the through hole of the lower end of the post, crossing said V-bores can pass from a loose fixing position at the top end of said opening, when the base hook is inserted into a frontal opening of the post, to a tight fixing position at the pointed tip of the same V-bores, when the post is pushed downwardly, and the higher edge of the opening enters into the groove of said hook.
  • an inverse operation must be performed, in which the post must be lifted, which is certainly not safely possible when the shelving is loaded.
  • This same patent teaches to group the higher hook and said pair of lower wings in a single metallic insert, produced from a plate sheet through shearing and bending, and provided with a flat body with bores for screws, for fixing to the front of the distal base end; the bottom end of said body is perpendicularly bent to form a bored base which rests and is fixed with another screw to the bottom part of the proximal base end. Top and bottom parts of said body are bent so as to protrude at the front of said body to form said top, upwardly opened, hook and to form said pair of wings having V-shaped bores.
  • the present invention relates to an anchoring system of the base to the post of said shelving and has the aim of solving the above explained problems and others, with a shelving having the features of the independent claims and whose advantageous embodiments and improvement are specified in the dependent claims.
  • the hook and the wings of the proximal base end are produced in a unique component from pairs of metallic plates fixed on opposing sides of a metallic body forming also the flat beat front of the base with the post; said plates have integral perpendicular extensions which engage in corresponding longitudinal cavities of the base; they are welded to the walls of the body so that a wide portion is reinforced with the proximal end of the base, and therefore this system is capable of better resisting the mechanical stress of the shelving.
  • said lower wings are profiled too, so as to work as hooks, to facilitate the insertion of the transversal pin intercepting the post bores and the openings in the lower base wings, hindering movements between base and post, and ensuring the mechanical resistance necessary to oppose all the mechanical stress to which the fixing is exposed, as a result of its own weight and of that of the goods displayed on its shelves. Thanks to the anchoring of the post openings of both the top hooks and the bottom wings of the base proximal end, the mechanical stress to which the shelving is exposed is discharged also on a wide portion of the post, with the ensuing safety advantages.
  • the present invention comprises a unique base with foot, capable of supporting the post independently of its depth varying according to wall or gondola shelving, which is integrally fixed on the lower end of the post itself, which has special reference orifices.
  • the coupling between post and support allows to simply and easily centre the support itself with respect to the post, and allows to keep the two components paired even during shelving assembling and disassembling phases.
  • FIG. 1a a perspective view of the four basic component of a shelving unit according to the present invention is shown: a post 1, a support 2 for the foot, a base 3 and a pin 4.
  • the post 1 can be of different kind and dimensions according to the differing displaying needs: indicatively, the post can have a height variable between 1 m and 3 m, a depth P variable between around 3 cm and 12 cm, and a constant width L (see also Figure 3d ). Moreover, the post 1 has in the bottom portion of its side walls at least a bore 5 for hooking a base 3, and specifically for inserting a transversal pin 4.
  • the bore 5 has a circular shape having a radial groove 6 for a key e.g. upwardly oriented.
  • the post 1 shows under bores 5, near its lower end, at least an orifice or a cavity print 19 for joint with a rounded relief 10 present on the support 2 (see below).
  • Support 2 is produced from a unique plate piece and is shaped to receive a screw foot 7 which allows height adjustment of the post/shelving unit.
  • Figure 2 shows a perspective view of the assembled basic components: post 1, support 2, base 3 and pin 4.
  • FIG 3a the top view of the support 2 is shown, while in Figure 3b the same support 2 is shown in its bottom view.
  • the support 2 has a square shape, with four tongues 8 and 9 on its sides, one tongue for each side.
  • the pairs of opposed tongues 8 and 9 show identical dimensions, different with respect to the adjacent side; tongues 8 are longer than tongues 9.
  • the tongues 8 have a reciprocal internal distance which is equal to the width L of post 1 and of base 3.
  • the tongues 8 and 9 have a distance such that the shorter tongues 9 can transversally enter into post 1, without interference, and that longer tongues 8 can be placed with friction outside the post 1 itself, which with its bottom end rests on support 2.
  • the tongues 8 show in the mid point of their internal face, a respective rounded relief 10 for joining with one of the corresponding lateral orifices 19 in post 1.
  • the tongues 8 have the internal edge of their superior side opportunely bevelled in order to form a bevelling easing the insertion with interference of the tongues themselves exteriorly to post 1.
  • the support 2 shows a drawn bottom with a re-entering peripheral trait, useful to form a recess of the supporting surface of post 1, in order to reach the maximal vertical adjustment of the post itself.
  • the support 2 has a protruding central portion, on which a threaded central bore 11 protrudes toward the bottom; inside it the threaded shaft 107 of foot 7 is assembled.
  • Figure 3c shows the support 2 according to a lateral section, from which the position of threaded bore 11 can be appreciated, which firstly re-enters and then protrudes with respect to the supporting plan of the post, so that the final length is such that it can safely cooperate with a long portion of the shaft 107 of foot 7.
  • Figure 3d shows that the assembly formed by support 2 and foot 7 can be assembled on different kind of posts 1, 1', 1" having different depth P but identical width L.
  • Figures 4a, 4b show perspective views from opposed ends of base 3, which can have differing depths, indicatively from 20 cm to 95 cm, and differing heights, indicatively from 10 cm to 15 cm. These differing depths and heights are necessary for the different displaying needs.
  • the base 3 shows on the whole a parallelepiped shape, with protrusions on the proximal end to be hooked to post 1.
  • the base 3 shows on the top portion of its proximal end a pair of hooks 12 upwardly extending, and which are downwardly opened, and in the bottom portion of the same end shows a pair of wings 13, each having a bore 15 internally provided with a groove 16 for a key.
  • the bores 5 of the post 1, and the bores 15 of the wings 13 of base 3, have the same dimensions and have the key grooves 6 and 16 having the same dimensions and the same angular position.
  • hooks 12 and wings 13 are produced through shearing from plate sheets so that they are integral to each other, and the two pieces A and B which result from this shearing, having each one hook 12 and one wing 13, are welded on the sides of a vertical body 23, to be supported against the post 1 forming the front of the proximal end of base 3.
  • Said perpendicular pieces A and B are provided with a portion having horizontal extensions 25, 125, respectively, which are inserted into corresponding portions of top and bottom longitudinal cavities of the proximal end of base 3.
  • Said extensions 25, 125 and, in case, other parts of the three portions with hooks 12 and wings 13 are fixed through welding and/or other suitable means to the walls of the longitudinal cavities.
  • a point, wire, or laser electrical welding can be applied.
  • 27 and 127 indicate welding marks as above explained.
  • Figure 1c shows that the three components A, B, 23 carrying hooks 12 and wings 13 can be pre-assembled before being inserted into the proximal end of base 3. It is apparent that the present solution allows a wide distribution on base 3 of the stress that hooks 12 and wings 13 undergo.
  • FIGS 1b and 1c show that wings 13 have rounded angles, that their bottom side is slightly tilted with a front lift, and that said side is provided on its rear of a recess 26 vertically aligned to the downward opening of hooks 12.
  • the base 3 is correctly perpendicularly positioned with respect to post 1, and the bores 15 of the wings are correctly aligned to the bores 5 of post 1, so facilitating the insertion of pin 4 crossing said bores 5, 15, ensuring the solidity of the joint between base 3 and post 1.
  • Figure 5 shows the pin 4, that, according to a known solution, has a small plunger 18 protruding from its profile, thank to the presence of a not illustrated internal spring.
  • the plunger 18 has dimensions suitable for key grooves 6 and 16, so as to allow an easy extraction during disassembling, once that plunger 18 is in phase with the two grooves 6 and 16 (see below).
  • base 3 - post 1 assembly The solidity of base 3 - post 1 assembly is further ensured through the presence of a washer 20, hindering the accidental extraction of pin 4, if ever plunger 18 happens to be in phase with grooves 6 and 16 (see Figure 6 ).
  • the head 21 of pin 4 has a faceted shape, with two parallel surfaces 22, facilitating the grip of head 21 itself with a tool for rotating said pin 4 or for extracting the pin itself from its seat during the disassembling of base 3 (see below).
  • the disassembling of the shelving according to the present invention occurs according to the following steps:
  • the modification comprising the substitution of pin 4 and safety washer 20 with equivalent means is comprised, for instance a bolt or other means capable of forming a bolt releasable constraint, with safety means hindering the accidental extraction.
