  The present invention relates to a wedging element for filler panels such as shelves or vertical panels for modular structures made by means of uprights and crosspieces of wood, synthetic material and / or profiles of ferrous or non-ferrous materials flocking together by interlocking. We know from the patents 75 10433 and 82 10374 the mode of

  realization of modular structures by assembling sleepers and

  forming them by interlocking, to receive on their facings filler elements such as shelves or vertical closure panels, or according to the variant of the patent 82 10374 by threading

  said filling elements in grooves arranged on the.

  facings of sleepers and uprights.

  In the case of patent 75 10433, it is necessary to avoid obtaining an empty space between two consecutive shelves to mount the modular structure in an identical manner namely that the

  siding of the uprights is always placed in the front so that

  its transversals are placed in the field, in other cases an empty space is constituted between two consecutive shelves which it is necessary to

  fill in with a patch and this in the case of use of pan-

  standard filling piers for both shelves and vertical panels, in the case of vertical filling panels a major drawback is the immobilization mode of the latter, it is achieved by spikes, screws or any other depending on the material used, making it indestructible

  According to the Certificate of Addition No. 83 09778, the

  sittive anchor assemblies by interlocking which is an octagonal piece which requires the use of panels of significant thickness

not justified.

  The wedging element object of the invention, aims to overcome

  to the previously mentioned disadvantages.

  The wedging element according to the invention is characterized in that it consists of a profiled piece of wood, synthetic material or ferrous material or not, of width less than the width of the crosspieces and uprights of modular structures, thick corresponding to or substantially less than the material width between the edge of the recess

  constituting the fork or the mortise and the field of the amounts or crossing

  its, their lengthcorresponding to the distance between the facings of the amounts or sleepers facing each other, the end of said elements having a fork fitting into force on the field of said uprights or sleepers, the facing of the wedging elements intended for s' pressing the siding of the uprights or sleepers is provided with at least one side rabbet width corresponding to the material between one side of the fork and the corresponding field of said part so as to maintain and immobilize in the rabbet a filling panel in particular vertical and thin, alternatively a wedging element is

  provided with two side rabbets on each side of the recess

  killing the fork and that so as to immobilize consecutive panels in thin shelves and / or vertical in said rabbets, it

  It goes without saying that between the wedging elements can be arranged

  thick tablets corresponding to the thickness of the element,

  panels resting on the siding of sleepers or uprights.

  Other features and advantages of the invention will emerge

  more clearly from the following description made with reference to the drawings

  joints given by way of non-limiting example, o: - Figure 1 is a perspective view of a wedging element mounted on the uprights or crosses of the modular structures, - Figure 2 is a sectional view of a wedging element resting on a crossmember or post immobilizing a filler panel; - FIG. 3, a sectional view of a variant of wedging element immobilizing two consecutive panels, both in shelves and in

vertical panels.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the wedging element i

  te in a profiled piece of wood, synthetic material or ferrous or non-ferrous materials, of width less than the width of the facings 8 of the crosspieces 3 or uprights 2 constituting the modular structure, said element has a thickness 4 equal to or slightly less than the width the material 5 of an amount 2 or cross member 3 between the edge 6 of the recess constituting the fork or the mortise and the field 7 of the

  2 uprights or sleepers 3, the length of the wedge element 1 correspon-

  at the distance between the facing 8 of the uprights 2 or crosspieces 3 facing each other, at the ends of the wedging element 1 of the forks 9 are arranged intended to fit forcefully on the field 7 of the uprights 2 or crosspieces 3, the face 11 of the wedging element i intended to rest on the facing 8 of the uprights 2 or sleepers 3 is provided with a rabbet 13 whose width 14 corresponds to the material between the field 15 and the facing 8 of the 2 uprights or sleepers 3, the height of said rabbet corresponding to the thickness of the filling panel 16 so as to

  immobilize the latter both shelf and placed vertically.

  According to FIG. 3, the wedging element 1 comprises two sheets

  lures 13 on either side of the fields 15 and that so as to immobilize the consecutive panels 16 filling both in tablets that placed vertically.

  It goes without saying that between the setting elements 1 of the

  fillets 18 in shelves of corresponding or slight thickness

  less than the thickness of the elements 1 can be maintained.

Claims (4)
