Abstract

Device for storing flat slats (strips) such as skis in the vertical position. The invention relates to a device making it possible to hold in the vertical position any type of slats (strips) having a flat surface. It consists of a metal plate 2 pivoting about a pin against a support and which, with the weight on its lower part, pinches and holds the slats (strips) vertically. This device according to the invention can be intended for storing skis or for displaying them in shop windows, singly or in pairs, and also for storing any types of downhill or cross-country skis.

Description

DESCRIPTION
The present invention relates to a device for storing skis, or any other longitudinal body having a flat surface, by tightening them at the end to keep them in a vertical position.

The indexed drawings illustrate the invention:
Figure 1 shows in section the device in the open position.

Figure 2 shows in section the device in position of use with flat blades, illustrated here by skis. (7)
In Figure i, the device includes a support wood that can also be made of metal, on which are fixed rods (3) whose end has t or or passes an axis allowing the articulation of a plate, and a spring (5) leaving the plate apart from its support.

 Figure 2 shows blades, here skis (7) introduced into the opening whose weight tilts the plate (2) which exerts at this time the pressure on their heels and keeps them in the vertical position.

 FIG. 3 represents a front view with 2 storage plates 9 which can be made with 5 or 10 plates.

 When the user picks up his pair of skis, it is automatically unlocked when the weight of these no longer acts on the lower part of the plate.

The support (l) is fixed at each end to a fitting (8) connected to 2 feet allowing it to be placed on the ground without fixings.

According to other characteristics, this device comprises an articulated body in the form of a rectangular plate (2) folded 2 times inwards at 2 angles which are parallel to the width of the rectangle. The LO angle of 600 is approximately 1/3 of the plate (2) and the angle of 400 is 2/3
The length of the plate must be such that when a blade (7) is introduced, the upper part of this plate (2) comes into the clamping position against the blade.

 The hinge part of the plate (2) is made of a depression in the 2 directions forming a fold, which allows to pass an axis of rotation (4).

 The axis of rotation (4) is held between each plate (2) by rods (3) fixed to a flat support (l) whose end has a hole or passes this said axis.

 The return spring is a hairpin spring introduced on the axis (4) with support, on the one hand on the rod, and on the other hand on the plate (2) which maintains the latter in a parted position in its part. superior.

 The articulated body in the form of a plate (2) is made of metal or plastic, and must be rigid enough to exert significant pressure on the blades.

 The lower part of the articulated body in the form of a plate has a sufficient length, which is housed below a support, to keep the upper part apart for easier access of the parts to be fixed.

 The metal plates (2) are covered with a plastic or rubber border, which adheres, and avoids the deterioration of all maintained objects.

Claims (9)

 I) Device for storing flat blades, for example skis, characterized in that it comprises an articulated body in the form of a plate (2) exerting pressure on this blade (7) to keep it in the vertical position.  2) Device according to claim I characterized in that the articulated body, in the form of a rectangular plate (2) is folded 2 times inwards at 2 angles which are parallel to the width of the rectangle. the first angle of 600 is approximately 1/3 of the plate (2) and the second angle of 400 2/3. The width of the plate should be such that when inserting a blade (7) the upper part of this plate (2) comes into the clamping position against the blade.  3) Device according to claim 2 characterized in that the hinge part of the plate (2) is made of a depression in both directions forming a fold, which allows to pass an axis of rotation (4).  4) .A device according to claim 2 characterized in that the axis (4) of rotation is maintained between each plate (2) by rods (3) fixed to a flat support (I) whose end presents a hole or pass this said axis.  5) Device according to claim 4 characterized in that a pin return springs introduced on the axis, with support on the one hand on the rod and on the other hand on the plate (2) maintains it in the separated position in its upper part.  6) Device according to claim 2 characterized in that the articulated body in the form of plate (2) made of metal or plastic must be rigid enough to exert significant pressure on the blades  7) Device according to claim 5 characterized in that the lower part of the articulated body in the form of a plate has a sufficient length which is housed below a support to keep the upper part apart for easier access of the parts a to stare.  8) Devices according to claim 7 characterized in that the storage of the blades is of easy access, also within the reach of children with regard to skis.  9) Device according to claim 6 characterized in that the metal plates (2) are covered with a bare plastic border of rubber which adheres, and avoids the deterioration of all maintained objects.
