Description

1 73584

The present invention relates to a shelf consisting of two end brackets formed of two vertical profiles, brackets extending from one vertical profile to the other, brackets located at the ends of the brackets and attached to the end brackets, and shelf levels resting on the brackets with folded down folds.

Such shelves made of steel plates 1q are already known. In order for such shelves to be sufficiently sturdy, for example for storage and archive use, the vertical profiles of the end brackets are connected to each other by transverse horizontal supports which are placed at least at the upper and lower end of the end bracket. In order for these horizontal supports to be sufficiently rigid-15 to fill the shelf, they are already connected to the vertical profiles at the factory or are integral with the vertical profiles. Such end brackets are called carrier ladders.

Each shelf type is usually made in different 2q depth models and the shelf manufacturer must therefore stock different widths of support ladders and shelf levels, making storage more expensive than if there were only one model for each part of the shelf.

In addition, the carrying capacity of the shelf levels resting on the brackets in the conventional manner is relatively small, since the shelf level rests on the brackets only at the lower edge of its edge area.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a shelf in which the storage of parts is less space-consuming than the storage of parts of previously known shelves and in which the support of the shelf levels is even more stable. The shelf according to the invention is characterized in that the edge area at the end of the shelf level is located between the console and the end bracket.

Thanks to the invention, the shelf levels are effectively locked in their longitudinal direction to the end brackets, as a result of which the shelf becomes sturdy.

The locking of the shelf levels to the end brackets is made particularly strong if the console is located at a distance of 5 from the end bracket which corresponds approximately to the material thickness of the edge area of the shelf level.

One preferred embodiment of a shelf according to the invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 shows a shelf according to the invention, Figure 2 shows one end of the shelf with the shelf plane drawn away from the console along line II-II in Figure 1; 15 and the cover portion of the shelf level partially removed, and Fig. 4 shows a vertical section along the line IV-IV in Fig. 2 with the shelf level in place.

The shelf shown in Fig. 1 consists of two end brackets, each formed by two vertical profile profiles 1 and 2, and overlapping shelf levels 3. A support grid 4 is attached between the vertical profiles 1.

Preferably, the vertical profiles 1, 2 made of sheet steel have a square cross-section, which is best seen in Figure 3. The side 25 facing the shelves has underlying, vertically elongated openings 5 to which the shelf levels 3 can be fastened. The shelf levels are also made of sheet steel and have a planar cover part 6, all edge areas of which are bent downwards. On the long sides 30 of the shelf levels, the edge areas are bent into housing-like channels 7, which are made very rigid by means of small additional longitudinal bends, the so-called indentations. Furthermore, due to the indentations, the channels 7 look lower when viewed from the side than if their outer side 35 were planar. Shelf levels at the end sides down

3,73584 The bent edge region 8 is planar and has two notches 9 at its lower edge, which are located at the brackets to be explained below.

According to the invention, brackets 10 are fastened to the end brackets 5 between the vertical profiles 1 and 2 to fasten the shelf levels 3. Each bracket is formed of a C-shaped steel plate strip with ends 11 brackets 11 transverse to the longitudinal direction of the bracket. with other parts. The brackets have a neck portion 12 associated with the main body of the bracket and an associated wide lug 13 located within the vertical profile with the neck portion 12 located in the opening 5 of the vertical profile.

The shelf levels 3 are fastened to the end brackets by means of brackets 15, so that a shelf level 3 is placed on the console locked to the vertical profiles 1,2 as shown in Fig. 2 so that the downwardly bent edge area 8 of the shelf level protrudes between the vertical profiles The edge area 8 is then dimensioned so high that when the bottom of the notches 9 meets the shelf level cover part of the upper edge of the bracket neck part 12 against the upper surface of the bracket. Since the space between the bracket 10 and the vertical profiles corresponds to the strength of the edge area 8 of the shelf plane, the shelf plane is thus tightly locked in its longitudinal oven-25 in the vertical profiles. The depth locking of the shelf levels is in turn achieved by the co-operation of the notches 9 and the neck part 12 of the brackets.

As described above, a shelf has been provided in which the same end brackets can be used to build shelves of different depths and in which the shelf levels are supported so well that an even thinner steel plate can be used for the shelves without reducing their load capacity.
