Description

Reversible shelf

Object of the invention

The present invention, as stated by the set forth herein, refers to a reversible shelf, which As the name implies, it has the advantage of having two types of differentiated edges in its design, the front and rear, of  way that can be installed on its brackets in two ways different, oriented towards the visible area the song design desired, without thereby subtracting benefits from using it and offering the user the possibility of varying the design of the shelving composition quickly and easily.

This versatility is given by a set of simple solutions applied to the tray itself, the posters that support it and the accessories that can be installed, such as unions and couplings that do not need tools.

Scope

A shelf is described herein. reversible, which apart from its normal function as an element of storage, support for public or private exhibition of products, materials and others, and applications all in common use and extended, a versatility of great utility is added and profitability, which is to provide reversibility at the disposal of the front and rear edges with formal and functional design differentiated. This allows the shelf producer to have in a same product two different terminations at the same cost of production, and the user allows you to vary design without having to Acquire another product.

This reversible shelf can be used in fixed or modular shelving installations for commercial surfaces of different kinds, access facilities public as libraries, toy libraries etc., also has a use domestic, housing, workplace and others where the use of Shelving is usual.

Background

Normally, and as is common knowledge, There are different types of shelves that use fixed shelves or Removable materials such as wood, glass, plastic, composite resins, folded metal etc., where the placement of these shelves is always in a certain position, since your design is designed to always show the same look, which is the default that the manufacturer normally offers. Too there are modular shelves, where the user can vary the configuration of the structure, layout and distribution of shelves or shelves, which can be of various sizes, colors, materials and with various anchoring systems or fixation.

In all these cases, the user does not have the possibility of changing the appearance of the shelf, and consequently, The appearance of the whole shelf.

For the usual manufacturer of this type of shelves, usually made of metal or wood, the inconvenience of having to make a manufacturing tooling different to make another end of the song, with the cost Additional representing. Besides, references have to be duplicated, which involve, among other aspects, greater storage volume, maintenance, review and attached processes.

Currently, aspects of added value, both in Design as in product utilities, are highly appreciated by consumers and manufacturers, so this kind of shelf reversible double singing, which this memory is about, results from great general interest for its versatility and profitability productive

Description of the invention

The present invention describes a form preferred embodiment of a reversible tray intended to be mounted on shelves or stands, without limitation as to its formal constitution or small variants that lack importance  as to modify its main function.

The reversible shelf basically consists of a shelf usually of preferably rectangular useful surface, with two lateral edges, of shorter length and constitution symmetric in the transverse plane, where it rests and fit to the brackets that fix it to the shelf unit, and by a front edge for example flat design, and for a rear edge with another formal design different from the previous one, for example semicircular.

This reversible shelf is fixed to the set of the shelf by means of supports designed for this purpose, where these supports, from the back are fixed to the structure main shelf, on which the shelf rests and with a stop at the end of the support ensures its position. He shelf can be oriented with the front edge towards the side outside or to the opposite side and vice versa, thus showing User will design the desired song.

The preferred construction of this type of reversible shelf is in folded metal, where the processes productive currently allow to automate virtually all of the process, obtaining two products in one. This does not imply that can extend to other types of materials and processes Productive shelves, such as wood, resins, glass etc.

The user of this double-edged reversible shelf can change the appearance of the assembly simply by removing the shelf from its supports, turning 180 degrees inside the horizontal plane and reposing the shelf on the supports, being correctly positioned, without leaving gaps with the rear. To change the entire shelf, this process will be repeated on each of the shelves that are
wish.

Description of the preferred embodiment

As shown in the figures above, a reversible double edge shelf is shown, in a basic configuration and not limitative as far as possible variations that do not affect their described functions.

The set of shelving (1) made preferably in metal, it consists of a base (6) of format rectangular, to which columns (4) are fixed perpendicularly to the base plane (6) forming an "L", placed on these several rear sections (5) to form the bottom of the bookshelf (1). The columns (4) mentioned above are equipped with housings (13) where the anchors (12) of the brackets (3) and rear (5). These are placed in parallel each in a column (4) so that the reversible shelf (2) rest on top of them, locking your sides of the shelf (9) of symmetrical formal constitution, so that the reversibility possible. So that this reversible shelf (2) does not get out of its location, the support (3) has a stop (11) which prevents sliding out of the shelf (1), only being possible to remove the reversible shelf (2) towards up and out separating it from the shelf (1).

The reversible shelf (2), is composed of a upper main plane preferably rectangular, which It is used as a support surface, just like on any shelf Traditional, in addition, this reversible shelf (2) is equipped with two sides (9), located to the right and left if we are located frontally with respect to the bottom of the shelf (1), and of a song front (7), with a specific formal design, and a rear edge (8), with a formal design clearly different from the previous one. This form, the position of said edges can be exchanged to show a different design according to the position of the reversible shelf (2) desired.
