Description

Device for assembling uprights and / or side shelves.

The purpose of this utility model is to a device designed to carry out the assembly of the basic modules that will constitute the uprights and / or laterals of self-assembling shelves, with shelves or shelves supported and fixed about them.

The equipment is becoming more frequent prefabricated and self-employed used, not only in the classic "DIY", but for the exhibition of products in commercial establishments such as stores appliances, gift items, shoe stores, florists, pharmacies, stationers, shop windows, fairs and exhibitions diverse.

These shelves are generally constituted by the uprights, arranged in the zones intermediate, and the lateral ones, located in the extreme zones, on the ones that will be supported and the shelves that will complete the desired set.

These uprights and sides will reach heights required, according to the preset dimensions for the installation. For this reason it has been very useful make these uprights and sides from modules and shelves basic, of a normalized height, which will be assembled up to reach the required height, which will avoid having to have an indeterminate amount of different amounts stored heights, just manufacture and store only a certain amount of basic modular elements.

However, the assembly of these modules has always presented certain practical difficulties, specifically to give the place of union a full and sufficient solidity so that the amount does not deform and can withstand the total load of the bookshelf, and also that this place of union is practically invaluable, with the consequent aesthetic value contributed to set.

The device object of the present invention offers some advantages that will be described below and that allow assembly of basic modules to be carried out described to constitute the amount of the required height, guaranteeing the solidity of the joining areas, as well as the present a final line in the union practically priceless.

At the same time, the device removes it from being it is necessary to manufacture modules provided at the upper ends of male rods or extensions to be introduced into the inside the ends of the opposite side of the module to which you should be assembled guaranteeing a solid union, so that the Manufacturing of the modules described herein will be Easier to carry out.

These male rods or extensions do they will appear in the base module, exceptionally, module that It will also be provided with the covers, usually made of plastic, Protectors of direct support on the ground, all this, as indicates, only in the base module.

In order to describe in greater detail what was previously indicated in reference to the device object of this invention, are attached drawings in which, to non-limiting example title, an embodiment has been represented practice of it.

In these drawings,

Figure 1 draws one of the basic modules and, under it and for informational purposes only, the base module provided with extensions to assemble both modules;

Figure 2 is a partial detail of the beginning of the assembly operation of a basic upright module on the lower basic module, with a connector in the previous position to be  placed on the side of the lower module;

Figure 3 is a partial detail of fig. previous, which draws the connector already placed in the module bottom, with a pin that is provided stopping over the upper edge of the side, and the upper module starting to be placed on the mentioned connector

Figure 4 shows two modules totally assembled, so that the union is practically invaluable, and having removed the stopper pin;

Figure 5 is a view, on a smaller scale, and in perspective of a shelf of a certain height, constituted by several basic modules;

Figure 6 shows a two-shelf bodies, of different height; Y

Figures 6 and 7 draw paths side of the connector between modules, in two embodiments practices.

According to these drawings, the amounts and side shelves, are formed by various modules basic (1), which are assembled vertically ones on the others. These modules, typically "H", are consisting of two tubular sides preferably section quadrangular (1a) and by a crossbar (1b), also tubular of section also with quadrangular preference, on which, generally, the shelf or shelf (9) is supported, when the bookshelf (figures 5 and 6).

The module-base differs (2), provided with protective caps (3), already known, for support on the ground, for having at its upper ends some rods or extensions male (4), on which the part fits bottom of the first module (1).

Each module is hollow at the upper ends and lower side (1a), allowing placement in its inside of some connectors (5), at the time of starting the assembled, as depicted in figures 2 and 3.

These connectors (5), according to figure 7, they have a torpedo shape, with a cylindrical central area and its slightly frustoconical ends. An embodiment variant (5a), (figure 8), is similar in form but is provided, in a side of its central part, several wedge projections (5b) that offer a greater grip inside the side (1a) where will have introduced.

These connectors (5) and (5a), made by injection, preferably in hard plastic material, they have a transverse and horizontal central hole (6) in which a pin (7) is placed, whose ends, once placed, they will protrude on both sides of the connector.

When carrying out the assembly of two modules Basic (1) contiguous, the connectors are first introduced (5) until the pin (7) abuts the upper edge (8) of the tubular sides (1a) of the lower module (1), preventing said connectors (5) may accidentally become more or less introduced on said sides (1a).

Once the connectors (5) are positioned on their instead, the upper module (1) is placed, fitting its tubular sides (1a) over the top of said connectors, until you reach the top of the pins (7), when they are removed. Next and by means of a pushing action, both modules have just been joined (1), the upper and lower, until the joint (8) is imperceptible. All pushing actions for the assembly of the various modules will be carried out with the help of a tool, usually a nylon mallet or suitable texture that does not hurt The mentioned modules.

The placement of modules (1) from module-base (2), will be in variable quantity and will allow, as is evident, to have height uprights different, as required. On the crossbars (1b) of the modules (1) will be supported and fixed shelves (9), as look at figures 5 and 6, standing on the ends of the tubular sides (1a) of the final upper module two flaps protective (3).

Described sufficiently the object of the present invention, it should be noted that any variation in dimensions, appearance or shapes, finish or type of material used in the elaboration of the components of the device to which it is made reference, will not alter the essentiality of the device, remaining summarized in the claims that follow.

Claims (4)

1. Device for assembling uprights and / or shelving sides, consisting of basic modules (1) with a characteristic "H" shape, with two tubular sides of preferably quadrangular section (1a) and a crossbar (1b), which duly assembled and in the appropriate quantity, they will reach the desired height in the rack assembly, characterized in that the basic modules (1) that are assembled vertically, are hollow in the upper and lower ends of their lateral sections (1a), which allows the introduction of connectors (5) or (5a) when starting the assembly process, so that, when two basic modules (1) remain adjacent, their solid and stable connection. 2. Device for assembling uprights and / or side shelves, according to the preceding claim, characterized in that said connectors (5) or (5a) preferably made of high-strength plastic material, have a torpedo shape, with a central area cylindrical and slightly frustoconical ends, said connectors being provided with a central through hole (6), transverse and horizontal, inside which a pin (7) is placed, the ends of which protrude on both sides, so that when placing a connector (5 ) or (5a) inside the upper end of the side (1a) of the module (1) to be assembled, said connector penetrates only until the pin (7) stops over the upper edge (8) of said side (1a) avoiding incorrect positioning, and providing for the removal of the pin for final assembly. 3. Device for assembling uprights and / or side shelves, according to claim 2 characterized in that when the connectors (5) and (5a) are positioned in place, and when removed, the pins (7) are terminated join the modules (1) by pressing with a pushing action, until their union (8) is practically imperceptible. 4. Device for assembling uprights and / or shelving sides, according to claim 2, characterized in that the connector variant (5a) adopts the general torpedo shape, also adopting a series of wedge projections (5b) for Your best grip.
