Description

Wire shelf that can be aligned for a shelving of a goods warehouse

The present invention relates to a wire shelf that can be aligned for shelving in a goods warehouse.

When observing the entire plane of a shelf in a shelving of a goods warehouse, the covering then extends from an outer edge of a first shelf support to an outer edge of a last shelf support in the arrangement. The overlap extends between the start and the end in the respective axial dimension of the shelf supports. In the case of a slatted covering, corresponding start, center and end grids must be fabricated and installed in a suitable position.

Wire shelves can be used in shelving in goods warehouses instead of gratings as long as no high load capacity is required. Shelving of this type can be realized in particular as a cantilever system, which has the advantage that the shelf levels can be used continuously without annoying shelf uprights, which is advantageous in particular for receiving large products. length.

In principle, shelves of any type must necessarily be fixed in a cantilever system, which is complex and expensive.

The object of the present invention is thus to allow a covering with only one type of shelf, which is at the same time reliably fixed at the level of the shelf frame without the need for screwing.

The goal is achieved with a wire shelf that can be aligned with the characteristics described below.

More specifically, an object of the invention is a wire shelf that can be aligned for a shelving of a goods warehouse, with several parallel reinforcing profiles, on which a mesh structure formed by longitudinal bars and transverse bars is installed as a cover, in which:

- at least two reinforcing profiles have respectively, at one end of the front side, a recess,

- the longitudinal bars extend on one side beyond the reinforcement profiles and form a first support zone,

- the longitudinal bars extend at the level of the opposite side of the wire shelf beyond the reinforcing profiles and create a second support zone; and

- the longitudinal bars are bent down behind the second support zone and produce a connection zone with a connecting bar oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal bars, to engage with the recesses of a wire shelf adjacent.

Reinforcement profiles can be formed from a sheet metal cutout.

The reinforcement profiles can be unhooked at the level of the upper edge in their end zone provided with the recess.

Another object of the invention is a shelving unit with at least one frame for shelves with at least one pair of parallel shelf supports and with a wire shelf according to any one of the preceding characteristics, the support areas of which rest on. the upper sides of the tablet supports and the connection area of which is disposed laterally next to one of the tablet supports.

At least three parallel shelf supports can be provided at the level of the shelf frame, on which at least two wire shelves are arranged side by side, in which respectively the connecting bar of a wire shelf engages with the recesses in the reinforcing profiles of the other wire shelf, and in which the support area of a wire shelf engages with the projecting ends of its longitudinal bars between the longitudinal bars in the area of support for the other wire shelf.

Frame brackets for shelves and shelf brackets can be produced as T-profile, H-profile or I-profile respectively.

The wire shelf according to the invention is a type of uniform grid, which can be used interchangeably in the start, center and end sector of a shelf for a shelf, which makes it possible to lower the means required during manufacturing, storage and assembly. The realization of the covering in the form of a wire grid combines in this framework a reinforcement thanks to the spacer-shaped reinforcing profiles at the level of the lower side and a sufficiently high load capacity.

A specific advantage of the invention lies in the creation, from several wire shelves according to the invention, which are placed side by side in a aligned manner, of a self-locking system, in which the various wire shelves must not. no longer necessarily be fixed additionally.

The wire shelf according to the invention consists of a wire mesh grid functional as a covering, it being understood that the metal wire grid protrudes from one side of the reinforcing profiles and provides a support zone and is provided at the level of the other side with a chamfer, which creates a connection zone. A connecting bar extending transversely to the longitudinal direction of the shelf is installed therein.

The reinforcement profiles have a recess in the end zone on the front side respectively, which is able to receive the connection bar of an adjacent shelf. In this context, it suffices in the presence of light loads that only two reinforcing profiles kept at a distance have a recess and that the other reinforcing profiles are slightly shorter. Preferably, however, all the reinforcing profiles are made identically.

The reinforcing profile can also, on one side, be provided at the level of the upper edge with another notch, which is formed in a manner adapted to the profile of the shelf support. Thus, the reinforcing profile can further engage into a protruding profile portion of the shelf support made in particular as an I-profile. This results in additional locking preventing any lifting from below.

Furthermore, it is provided in a preferred embodiment to produce in the rear corner areas respectively an open mesh, which makes it possible to carry out a fixing by complementarity of shape at the level of the vertical shelf uprights so that it It is no longer possible to remove the wire shelves from the cantilevers.

The production and assembly of the wire shelves that can be aligned are explained in more detail below with reference to the figures, which can be seen in detail:

fig. 1 a shelf with a wire shelf placed on top seen from above;

fig.2 two shelves located side by side with two wire shelves shown partially seen from the front;

fig.3, 4 respectively an assembly step during the assembly of two metal wire shelves side by side; and

fig.5 a connection point at the level of a cantilever in detail.

Figure 1 shows a shelf of a shelving system 100 with a wire shelf 10 placed on it. The shelf is formed by two cantilevers 2 arranged at a distance parallel to each other as a shelf support, which are installed at the level of vertical shelf posts 1.

The basic structure of the wire shelf 10 is formed by a grid structure of longitudinal and transverse spacers 13, 14 connected to each other. Reinforcing profiles 11 are installed below. An overhang of the longitudinal bars 13 at the left side forms a first bearing zone 15, with which the wire shelf 10 rests directly on the upper side of the cantilever 2. The overhang of the longitudinal bars 13 is even longer at the level. on the right side; these extend over the entire width of the cantilever 2, where they form a second bearing zone 16. The longitudinal bars 13 are bent downwards and form a connection zone 17 at the level of the right outer edge of the cantilever 2.

In the two rear corner areas, an open mesh 19 is respectively made, in other words, the crossbars 14 are interrupted there. It is for this reason that the rear crossbar 13 can be brought behind the profile branch of the shelf post 1 so that the wire shelf 10 is blocked by form-fitting preventing any forward withdrawal and preventing also any shifting to the side.

The front view of the shelves located side by side in Figure 2 can be seen in particular the realization of the reinforcing profiles 11. These have at the left front side a recess 12 in the form of a notch. A notch 11.1 is identifiable at the level of the upper edge so that the reinforcing profile 11 can be slid under the side profile branch of the cantilever 2.

The vertical connection area 17 at the level of the right cantilever 2 ends with a connection bar 17, which extends in the direction of the depth of the shelf, therefore transversely to the longitudinal bars 13.

On its right is a part of another wire shelf 10. The recesses 12 in its reinforcing profiles 12 are at the height of the connecting bar 18.

For the purpose of mounting a continuous shelf, a first wire shelf 10 is slid into a slightly inclined position between the adjacent shelf posts 1 so that the open meshes 19 (see fig. 1) can respectively engage. on either side with the branch of the shelf post 1 when lowering. Thus, the first metal wire shelf 10 rests in a locked manner by complementarity of shape on adjacent cantilevers 2, which is shown in FIG.

Then, another wire shelf 10 is brought from the right, again in an inclined position, which is illustrated in Fig. 3. The second wire shelf 10 rests via its support zone 15 also on the cantilever 2 like the first wire shelf 10 with the support zone 16. When lowering, the recess 12 engages on the left at the bottom. level of the reinforcing profiles 11 of the second wire shelf 10 on the right with the connection bar 18 in the connection area 17 of the first wire shelf 10 so that there is a form-complementary connection in the final position according to figure 4.

Figure 5 illustrates an enlargement of the point of connection between the two wire shelves 10 with the position of the connection zone 17 with the connection bar 18 and the recesses 12 at the level of the adjacent wire shelf 10, with which the connecting bar 18 engages.

All the wire shelves that follow in the shelf are placed with respect to each other according to the same principle and respectively with a small offset in depth so that the sets of longitudinal bars14 fit into each other in s 'engaging in connection areas 15, 16.

Without separate fasteners being required, each wire shelf 10 is locked at the shelf frame level by complementarity of form preventing any forward exit, preventing lateral sliding and preventing any lifting.
