Description

DESCRIPTION

Universal bracket for lateral mesh fixation in storage structures

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The present invention is encompassed within the field of security of storage systems and elements and more specifically as a support for fixing protective mesh to rack shelves.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

At present, given the increasingly high requirements from the point of view of security, storage systems require protection that prevents objects from falling into the aisles through which warehouse personnel pass.

There are many facilities in operation whose assembly was carried out prior to the existence of current requirements and therefore require for their validation as work equipment, under RD 1215/97 by means of the pertinent adaptation with the installation of a protective mesh .

The usual thing is that meshes are used that are fixed to the uprights of the shelves by means of proprietary supports designed for this purpose by the manufacturer of the storage system and always fixed in front of the perforation of the uprights.

For all these reasons, the need has been detected to design a universal bracket, bracket type, for the fixation, on the side of the props, of the protection meshes so that it can be placed in the storage systems, regardless of the manufacturer of this , in addition to having the versatility of being able to be disassembled to carry out maintenance tasks and replacement of damaged meshes.

These objectives are achieved by means of the invention as defined in claim 1.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The present invention has the task of presenting a universal bracket for the lateral fixing of protective mesh that allows its placement in any installation or storage system regardless of the manufacturer of the shelf.

The bracket, object of the present invention, has the particularity that it is fixed in the lateral perforations of the uprights of the storage systems, using rear grooves for this purpose. The designed grooves allow a regulation of the positioning of the bracket independently of the step of the drilling.

Additionally, a universal bracket variant has been designed, with the same functionality, for those installations in which the racking props do not have the first perforation line. In this case, the universal bracket can be attached to the rear perforation line.

To allow fixing in the rear line of holes, the bracket variant also has pleats of variable dimension to adapt to the measurements of the upright.

The mesh is fixed by means of anchor-shaped grooves in which the mesh rods slide up or down according to the need to fix it from the bottom or top.

Bracket dimensions can be variable to accommodate strut dimensions and mesh flight requirements.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

To complement the description that is going to be made below and with the aim of helping a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of a practical embodiment thereof, a set of drawings is attached as an integral part of said description. where, with an illustrative and non-limiting nature, the following has been represented:

Figure 1 represents a sketch of the universal bracket placed on the side of a prop with a line of lateral perforations and with the mesh fitted in the fixing grooves.

Figure 2 represents a sketch of the universal bracket variant, for upright without lateral perforation line, fixed to the rear perforation line of the upright and with the mesh fitted in the fixing grooves.

Figure 3 represents an image of the universal bracket placed on the side of a strut in its position and seen from the outer side thereof.

Figure 4 represents an image of the bracket seen from the inside.

Figure 5 represents a view of the variant of the bracket placed on a strut without the first line of holes. It is shown that the fixing of the same is carried out in the rear perforation line of the strut.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

In view of the outlined figures, it can be seen how the bracket of the invention is constituted from a piece of essentially rectangular sheet metal (1), elongated vertically, which in proximity to its rear lateral edge includes at least one pair of oblong holes (2) vertically aligned, through which it is laterally fixed to the corresponding strut (3), either by means of screws (4), rivets or by any other conventional means, passing through the lateral perforations (5) that incorporate these aligned struts vertically, allowing the length of the elongated holes (2) to adjust the height of the bracket to the specific needs of each case.

The plate (1) determining the bracket incorporates in its front lateral edge a series of vertically aligned constricted grooves (6), separated from each other by the amount corresponding to the vertical separation between the horizontal rods (7) of the mesh that are intended to be implanted in said constricted grooves (6).

Said grooves can vary their dimensions to adapt both to the passage of the rods as their diameter.

The width of the plate that determines the bracket, and consequently of the distance between the fixing holes of the same to the upright (3) and to the rods (7) of the mesh can vary in its manufacture in order to offer different mesh flights or necessary distance between it and the outside of the props.

According to the variant embodiment of figure 2, in the case in which the struts (3 ') do not have a line of holes on their outer lateral edge, including a line of holes (5') arranged in a position more rearward, on a wall (8) recessed internally, that is to say, forming a step with the wall or external lateral edge of the upright, it has been foreseen that the plate that constitutes the bracket has a slightly greater horizontal length, in order to maintain the distances offered between mesh and strut, so that the elongated holes (2) are facing the holes (5 '), the sheet undergoing a double fold (9) in this area that adapts to said staggering.

This variant embodiment for the bracket is also represented in Figure 5.

In any case, the bracket may have folds that allow it to be adapted to the specific configuration or section of the upright, the latter extending tightly from its front lateral edge to the area where said upright is provided with holes.
