Description

DESCRIPTION

CLIP FOR METAL SHELF

The present specification refers to a mounting clip that, in addition to facilitating a quick and secure fixing of the crossbar to a prop, is compatible with the recovery and reuse of metal shelving crossbars regardless of the commercial brand.

Background of the invention

There are different means and solutions in the beam connectors to fit and fix the cross members of a metal shelf, it can be said that each commercial brand has developed its own.

Document FR2385357, cylindrical pieces with a button head riveted to the spar connector, the head of which is inserted and fits into the socket of the strut.

Document ES1028535 shows a heavy shelf whose arms are fixed by pins.

It is also very common to practice deformations in the beam connectors by means of drawing, configuring hooks of various geometries that fit into the embossments made to the struts.

The world of metal shelving allows the reuse of used material and as each manufacturer has its own way of assembling, the problem lies in making the crossbars compatible with the uprights.

The invention described in this document solves this problem since, with a few minor modifications in the beam connector of the beam, the incompatibility problems are solved and allows any beam to be fitted in a strut compatible with the design of the clip described below.

Description of the invention

As mentioned in the previous section, the object of this invention is to present a quick and simple way of equipping a crossbar with means to allow it to be mounted on a prop of a different commercial brand. It also favors the reuse of used material.

To this end, a metal shelf mounting clip has been created for threading into the spar connectors of a cross member. Stringer connectors that have been previously drilled by a series of vertically aligned through-holes.

The staple consists of two levels defined by different widths and geometries; an outer part, wider, that presents a rectangular shape in elevation with the four chamfered corners to facilitate the fitting and sliding of the piece in the embedded profile of the upright. Another characteristic of this level seen is that the vertical edges are rounded.

A narrower inner part that is hidden and embedded in the embossing made in the strut. Its perimeter is drawn in elevation by a trapezoidal shape, with a narrower horizontal base line than the wider upper horizontal line.

A threaded and through hole passes through the two parts through the center, being able to divide the inner part two into two, depending on the diameter of said threaded hole.

The clip is mounted and secured to the strut spar connector by threading a screw through the through hole of the spar connector.

All information referring to examples or embodiments forms part of the description of the invention.

Description of the figures

To better understand the object of the present invention, a preferred practical embodiment of the same has been represented in the attached drawing.

Figure 1.- Shows a perspective view of the clip (1).

Figure 2.- Shows a plan view of the assembly of the clip (1).

Figure 3.- Shows a perspective of the assembly of the crossbar (4) with the strut (5)

Figure 4.- Shows a perspective view of the interior of the upright (5) and how the staple (1) is fitted.

Preferred embodiment of the invention

The mounting clip (1) for metal shelving as shown in figure 1, has a special design that we describe below and is characterized by having two levels. An outer part (1.a) that in plan has a rectangular geometry with chamfered corners and rounded vertical edges. An inner part (1.b) that fits into the embossing of the upright (5), narrower than the previous one that draws in elevation a trapezoidal shape that is narrower at its base and wider at its top. A threaded and through hole (1.c) crosses the two levels, being able to divide the second level into two parts.

Figure 2 shows the layout of each of the elements that make up the assembly of the shelf in plan. The clip (1) inside the strut (5) in its mounting position, the stringer connector (3) with its crossbar (4) and the screw (2) that fixes the assembly.

In figure 3 the assembly process is shown in perspective; the clip (1) inside the upright (5) where you can see how the inside part (1.b) fits into the drawing (6). The side member connector (3) of the cross member (4) with its vertically aligned through holes (7) crossed by the screws (2) that are screwed to the clip (1) and that fix the assembly.

In figure 4, a perspective view from the inside of the upright (5) shows us how the assembly is already assembled with the clip (1) fitted and the outer part (1.a) visible and the crossbar (4) secured to the strut (5).

The person skilled in the art will readily understand that he can combine features of different embodiments with features of other possible embodiments, provided that such a combination is technically possible.

Claims (1)
