FURNITURE WITH STORAGE SYSTEM

ADAPTABLE TO USES

  The present invention relates to a storage system furniture adaptable to uses, and in particular a refrigerated cabinet storage system adaptable to conservation and presentation

  pastry and other food products.

  Refrigerated furniture, especially that intended for the food trade, is generally designed to meet a predetermined use Thus a refrigerated cabinet for the preservation and presentation of the pastry is different from that intended for the

  preservation and presentation of other food products.

  In the first cabinet the storage shelves or shelves are usually shorter in length than the shelf racks.

  storage of the second cabinet The storage shelves of the first

  furniture are in the following called "pastry type" rays and

  those of the second piece of furniture are called "gastronorm type" rays.

  Some manufacturers have made at the level of manufacture, a basic furniture and two different systems and autonomous storage of choice, one with "pastry type" shelves and

  the other with spokes "gastronorm type".

  This solution with two autonomous systems of storage brings to the usual construction of independent furniture "pastry type" and independent furniture "type gastronorm", a simplification in their manufacture but remains expensive Indeed the two autonomous systems of storage require two separate fabrications of these systems, their handling and storage, which

  strike the cost price of the manufactured furniture.

  The present invention aims to avoid these inconveniences.

  nients makes it possible to realize an economic furniture equipped with a transformable system of storage having a simple structure, easy to manufacture and easily adaptable to the uses It also relates to a refrigerated piece of furniture economic, easily adaptable to the conservation and the presentation of the pastry and to that

other food products.

  According to the invention, a furniture with a storage system that is adaptable to uses, provided with racks and supports for horizontal racks, comprises in its storage space, a storage system, convertible, provided with removable racks having a cross section in G of which the flat top and the flat vertical flange of the base are provided with openings for receiving suspension hooks or locking tabs of the horizontal shelf supports, and whose flat body and flat base are respectively provided with one or more rows of holes allowing, by application of their respective surface against the side walls of the furniture, a fixing of these racks in

one of their two positions.

  To better understand the invention, an exemplary embodiment illustrated by the attached drawings is described below, of which: FIG. 1 represents a schematic and partial view of a

  refrigerated cabinet, produced according to the invention, whose trans-

  formable storage has "gastronorm type" spokes, Figure 2 represents on another scale a partial perspective view of one of the rack of the convertible furniture storage system of Figure 1, Figure 3 represents another scale a partial view in perspective of one of the supports of the transformable furniture storage system of Figure 1, Figure 4 shows on a different scale, a partial view of the furniture of Figure 1, in section along a horizontal plane IV- IV,

  FIG. 5 represents on a different scale a schematic

  of the furniture of Figure 1, whose system transforms

  mable storage presents rays "pastry type", and Figure 6 represents on a different scale a partial view

  of the furniture of Figure 5, in section along a horizontal plane VI-VI.

  A refrigerated unit 1 made according to the invention and illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 5 comprises a base unit 2 and a transformable storage system 3 having at different levels and

  adjustable either long horizontal rays or "gastrointestinal

  standard "4 (Figure 1) or short horizontal radius or radius" type

baker "5 (Figure 5).

  The base unit 2 mainly comprises a rear vertical wall 6, two lateral vertical walls 7 and 8, an upper horizontal wall 9 and a lower horizontal wall 10, delimiting a storage space, closed on the front side by unrepresented doors. furniture 1 refrigerating device being a device of known type, will not be represented nor

described in the following.

  The transformable storage system 3 comprises removable racks 11, removable supports 12 and spokes

horizontal removable 4 or 5.

  According to an important feature of the invention, the

  mesillères 11 have a cross-section in G whose apex 13 and the base 14 formed by flat and parallel walls, and the body 15 and the vertical flange 16 of the base 14, also formed by flat and parallel walls, are respectively perpendicular The top 13 and the vertical flange 16 of the base 14 of the G of the racks II are provided, along their entire length, spaced and alternating apertures 17 with openings 18 intended to receive suspension hooks and locking tabs of the supports. 12

  for horizontal radii 4 or 5 In the example shown, the opening

  17 and 18 are identical and regularly spaced, in other words a constant pitch. These openings 17 and 18 are therefore interchangeable in their destination. The racks 11 are respectively provided in the wall of their body 15 and in that of their base 14. , one or more rows of holes 19 and 20 for fixing them by means of screws or bolts to the walls

  side 7 and 8 of the furniture 1 respectively in two positions.

  In the G of the cross-section of the racks 11, the height of the body 15 of the G being greater than the width of the base 14 of this G, when the racks 11 are fixed by their bases 14, the supports 12 hooked to the top 13 G are farther from the side walls 7, 8 of the furniture 1 than when they are hooked to the vertical flange 16 of the G when fixing the racks by their

body 15.

  The supports 12 intended to hold the horizontal spokes 4, 5 in position have a cross-section in F whose edges which extend the head 21 and the tail 22 are folded outwardly to form suspension hooks 23, 24 respectively. 23 and 24 supports 12 are intended to be mounted in the openings 17 of the racks 11 Blocking nubs 25 may be formed on the central area of the back of the body of the F supports 12 These nubs 25 by engaging in the openings 18 the racks 11, after mounting the hooks 21 of the supports 12 in the openings 17 prevent the supports from sliding on the racks 11 The hooks 23 and 24 of the supports 12, resulting from the folded edges and delimited respectively by notches 26, 27 have A flat shape The openings 17 of the racks 11 which receive these flat hooks 23 and 24 preferably have a shape of a slot to effectively reduce or eliminate All the rotation of the supports 12 in these openings 17 In the example illustrated in Figures 2 and 3, the locking tabs 25 of the supports 12 have a rectangular or flat shape and the openings 18 of the racks II which receive them also have the shape Slots 17 and 18 are therefore interchangeable in their destination. In the example illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 4, four racks 11 are arranged at the four corners of the storage space of the cabinet 1, and are vertically fixed by the walls of their body 15 against the side walls 7 and 8 of this piece of furniture 1. to present the walls of their bases 14 towards the front of the cabinet 1 The supports 12 are respectively mounted on the vertical flanges 16

  the G of the two racks Il on the left and those of the two cre-

  It is to the right of the cabinet 1 by introducing the hooks 24 extending the tail of the F supports 12 in the openings 17 of

these vertical edges 16.

  According to this first fixing position of the racks 11 by their body 15, the supports 12 are spaced from the side walls 7 and 8 of the cabinet 1 by a distance equal to the small width of the base 14 of the G of these racks and are ready to support long rays

  4 or spokes "gastronorm type" having a length L (Figure 4).

  In the example illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6, four racks 11 are disposed at the four corners of the furniture storage space 1, and are vertically fixed by the walls of their base 14 against the side walls 7 and 8 of this furniture unit. in order to present the walls of their body 15 towards the front of the cabinet 1 The supports 12 are resepectively mounted on the vertices 13 of the G of the two racks II on the left and those of the two racks II to the right of the cabinet 1, by introducing the hooks 23 extending the head of the F of these supports in the holes 17 of these vertices 13 According to this second fixing position of the racks 11 by their bases 14, the supports 12 are spaced from the side walls 7 and 8 of the cabinet 1 by a distance equal to the great height of the body 15 of the G of these racks, and are ready to withstand short rays 5

  or spokes "pastry type", having a length 1 (Figure 5).

  The shape F of the cross section of the supports 12 allows these supports 12, by the presence of the wall 28 forming the middle bar of this F, to receive in its two positions

  horizontal beams 4 or 5 having two longitudinal

  In fact, when the supports 12 are mounted by their hooks 24 extending the tail of the F of these supports in the holes 17 of the racks fixed according to their first position.

  (Figs 1 and 4), the body of this F being applied against these cremaill-

  lères, the ends of the horizontal rays 4 that these supports 12 support, can get as close as possible to the racks It

  which allows these spokes 4 to have a great length L (figs.

  1 and 4) When the supports 12 are mounted by their hook 23 extending the head of the F of these supports, in the holes 17 of the racks 11, the body of this F being horizontally in a manner similar to the supports 12 shown in Figure 5, the extremities

  horizontal rays that these supports 12 support, are remote

  With the wall 28 constituting the middle bar of the F, which prevents the spokes 4 to have a great length L To be placed on the supports 12 mounted sefon this position, the horizontal rays 4 must have a length L 1 shorter than L When the racks II are fixed in their second position (FIGS. 5 and 6), the supports 12 can receive a radius S of length 1 or that of a longer length II depending on whether these supports are mounted in the openings 17 racks 11 by their hooks 23 extending the head of the F of these supports 12 or

  by their hooks 24 extending the tail of the F of these supports 12.

  According to an alternative embodiment not shown a second locking pin similar to the rod 25 is added in each of the end portions of the supports 12, at the head of the F of these supports and formed in the extension of the body of this F When the supports 12 are mounted by their hooks 23 in the openings 17 of the racks 11, their second locking studs are engaged in the openings 18 of these racks 11 and prevent the

  sliding of these supports 12 on the latter.

  Since the hooks 23 and 24 of the supports 12 are flat and the openings 17 of the racks II which receive them are slots, the supports 12 mounted on these racks II are virtually immobilized in rotation This immobilization in rotation of the supports 12 is furthermore reinforced by the one performed

  by blocking pins of these supports.

  As a result, in a refrigerated unit I according to a not shown mounting variant, only two racks II fixed in the central zone of the two side walls 7, 8 of this piece of furniture can, with the aid of the supports 12, provide a good support

horizontal radii 4 and 5.

  Thanks to the cross-section G-shaped racks 11 and the F-shaped cross-section supports 12, the refrigerated cabinet 1 made according to the invention is easily adaptable in its storage to meet selected uses, for example those requiring horizontal rays "pastry type" "5 or those requiring

"gastronorm type" rays 4.

  The racks 11 and the supports 12 are preferably made of stamped and folded sheet metal or made of metal according to the technique of rolling, extrusion or casting, while the base unit 2 and the cold production device are made and mounted according to a known technique In an alternative embodiment the racks 11 and the supports 12 are made of

plastic material.

  The low number of models of racks and supports

  12, which are to be manufactured and stored, and the facility of their manufacture.

  and their assembly make it particularly economical to

  cost price of refrigerated furniture 1 made according to the invention.
