Abstract

A support rack 2, eg for shelving or cabinets, has a V shape, the inner walls of the V having recesses or grooves 1 which removably receive a V shaped body to be supported. The body may support a shelf cantilevered therefrom (Figs 2-7). The rack may be wall-mounted or free standing and may be provided as an array of racks (Fig 8).

Description

A CLASPING V-LIKE RACK [Technical field] This invention relates to'V-like rack'and co-operative'V space complementing V-body' combinations, such as that of a'Clasping Bracket' & V-like rack combination, particularly for shelving and more particularly for removable shelving.

A'Clasping V-like rack', according to this invention, is a V-like rack comprising a pair of opposed'V bars'which are recessed along their length, in a way, so they may usefully clasp a co-operative'V-space complementing V-body', in a way, so a co-operative'V-space complementing V-body'may be useful held (in a removable way), by the Clasping V-like rack.

A Clasping V-like rack may usefully hold (in a removable way) a'V-space complementing V-body'as a well anchored structure.

[For reference :-Definition of a Clasping Bracket] A'Clasping Bracket'is a bracket structure for co-operation with a V-like rack. The Clasping Bracket includes a main body part, characterised in that the main body part has a shape & size that complements the V space of a V-like rack and the main body part has a pair of opposed bracket grips for gripping respective opposed V bars of the V-like rack, in a way, so the opposed bracket grips may be wedged between the opposed V bars, in a way, so the bracket structure may be firmly anchored on the V-like rack.

[Background art] Manufacture of a Clasping Bracket and co-operative V-like rack combination involves manufacture of a'V space complementing V-body'with opposed bracket-grips.

Manufacture of a V-like rack, for use as a wall rack and co-operation with a Clasping Bracket, demands provision of'spacers'to hold the V-like rack away from a respective wall, in a way, so the bracket-grips of the Clasping Bracket can,'hug'or clasp, both sides of the V bars of the V-like rack.

[Advantages of this invention] A'Clasping V-like rack'and co-operative'V space complementing V-body'combination has the advantages of a'Clasping Bracket'and co-operative'non-clasping V-like rack' combination, respecting provision of a removably held and well anchored useful support structure, with the additional advantages as follow.

Manufacture of a rigid'V space complementing V-body'for co-operation with a Clasping V-like rack does not involve manufacture of opposed bracket-grips on the'V-space complementing V-body' Manufacture of recessed V-bars of a Clasping V-like rack for use with a co-operative Vbody, in provision of a removably held and well anchored useful support structure- (for e. g. a removable shelving unit)-may be preferable to manufacture of bracket-grips on a Clasping Bracket for similar use with a co-operative non-clasping V-like rack.

Manufacture of a Clasping V-like rack, for use as a wall rack and co-operation with a Vbody, does not demand provision of'spacers'to hold the Clasping V-like rack away from a respective wall.

A Clasping V-like rack, for use as a wall rack and co-operation with a V-space complementing V-body in provision of a removably held and well anchored useful support structure, may be soundly fitted flush against a wall.

[V-like racks] Where I speak, above & below, of a'V-like rack', I am speaking of a framework, or section of framework, that is like a'V'in at least as much as it includes a pair of bar-lengths that are held rigidly in fixed relation to one-another, in a way, so the distance between the respective bar length ends of one of it's pairs of corresponding bar length ends, is greater than the distance between the respective bar length ends of it's other pair of corresponding bar length ends.

Where I speak, below, of the''V'of a V-like rack (as above), I am speaking of a pair of bar-lengths (curved or straight) that form the V-like rack.

I use'V bars', above & below, when referring to the bars of the'V'of a V-like rack.

Respective V bars, of a V like rack, may be of different respective widths, if desired.

The different bar length ends of a pair of corresponding bar length ends, of a V-like rack, are bar length ends of different V bars of the V-like rack.

Where I speak, above & below, of an'"upright"V-like rack, or"upright"Clasping V-like rack, I am speaking of a V-like rack in a position such that it's pair of corresponding bar length ends with the greatest distance between them, is above (though not necessarily in absolute vertical alignment above) it's pair of corresponding bar length ends with the lesser distance between them.

One pair of corresponding bar length ends, of the V bars of an"upright"V-like rack, is an upper pair of bar length ends. The other pair of corresponding bar length ends, is a lower pair of bar length ends.

'V space'of an"upright"V-like rack is the space between each of the respective inner edges, of a pair of respective V bars, against which outer edges of rising (as in use) sides of a co-operative V-body may be wedged. V space of a V-like rack, here, then is determined in part by a V-body that may co-operate well with the V-like rack, Explained below.

[Description] A Clasping V-like rack- (according to this invention)-is a V-like rack for co-operation with a rigid V-body, the V-like rack is characterised by a V space and a pair of opposed recessed V bars whose inner facing sides are recessed, in a way, so each side of a pair of opposed sides of a co-operative V space complementing rigid V-body may fit within and be gripped by the recess of a respective recessed V bar whilst the V-body wedges in the Vspace of the V-like rack, in a way, so the V-body may be usefully held by the V-like rack as a Firmly anchored structure.

A co-operative V-body may be held way by a Clasping V-like rack, usefully as a Firmly anchored structure, in a removable way.

A recessed V bar of a Clasping V-like rack is recessed along it's length, in a way, so a channel, or slot, is formed along the length in it's inner side. The recess of a recessed V bar may be of a right-angled recess-shape, such as a recess (1) of a recessed V bar (2) as shown in Fig 1.

The shape of a recess, of a recessed V bar such as a recessed V bar (2) in Fig 1., may be of a non right-angled shape, such as of a'U'or'V'shape.

A recess, along the length of a respective inner facing side of a V bar, may be formed by routing & hollowing out along the length of the inner side.

A right-angled recess, along the length of a respective inner facing side of a V bar, may be formed by welding a pair of bar length strips, parallel to one another, along respective edgesides of the inner facing side of the respective V bar, in a way, so a parallel sided rightangled recess (with a shape such as a recess (l) shown in Fig la.) is formed, between the parallel bar length strips, along the length of the inner facing side.

Bevelled bar lengths may be welded along the length of an inner facing side of a V bar, in a way, so a'V'shaped recess is formed, along the length of the inner acing side.

Good co-operation of a'V-body'for use with a'Clasping V-like rack'is achieved in two particular ways: 1. With a'V-space'complementing shape, of appropriate size and with rising (as in use on an"upright"Clasping V-like rack) sides of complementary rising angle-set in respect of the rising (as in use) angle-set of each respective recessed V bar, of the Clasping V-like rack.

2. With the aspect, of each rising (as in use on an"upright"Clasping V-like rack) side that is to slot within and be held (in a removable way) securely by a recess of a recessed V bar, being of appropriate shape & size, in a way, such that it has a close-fit with the respective recess.

The V space, of the'Clasping V-like rack' (of parts 1,2 & 2b)-shown in Figs 1., 3. & 7.-in co-operation with the V-body (3)-shown in Figs 3., 4.5., 6. & 7,, is space between the respective innermost-'depth'edges of the recess (l) es of the recessed V bar (2) s of the Clasping v-like rack (of parts 1, 2 & 2b).

Formation, of a recess such as a recess (l) along the length in the inner side of a recessed V bar such as a recessed V bar (2), shown in Fig 1, may be by routing & hollowing-out of the length of the respective inner side of the recessed V bar.

Where I speak of a co-operative'V-space complementing V-body', or in-brief of a'Vbody', above & below, I am speaking of a rigid body with a major dimension of a shape & size that complements the V space of an"upright"Clasping V-like rack, with opposite rising (as in use) sides of a minor dimension that may be slotted with a"close"fit, respectively, into respective recesses of respective recessed V bars, of the Clasping V-like rack., in a way, so the V-body may be securely wedged within the V space of the'Clasping V-like rack'and unwanted downward movement prevented.

Furthermore, a co-operative V body, as above, maybe clasped at it's sides by the recesswalls of the recessed V bars of a respective Clasping V-like rack, in a way, so unwanted back & forth movement of the V-body is prevented.

Thus a V-body may be well anchored and securely held (in a removable way) as a useful rigid structure by a Clasping V-like rack.

A V-body may be a'bar length frame V-body', such as the V-body (3) shown in Fig 2, or a 'plate like V-body'such as the V-body (7) shown in Fig 9.

A V-body may be a structural-aspect of a shelf board supporting frame of a removable shelf unit, explained below.

No adherent- (E. G. glue, or welding), bolting, or other such fixing assistance, is needed for a 'Clasping V-like rack'to usefully hold a V-body. A V-body may be hold removably, with strength and security, by an"upright"'Clasping V-like rack'However, fixing assistance (as above) may be used to fix a V-body to a V-like rack in a permanent and non-removable way, if desired.

I use'rising', above & below, to refer to a body that extends upwards & downwards through the vertical.

Accompanying drawings are not to scale, they are only to support the text.

[A Clasping V-like rack in use] All descriptions, below, of a'Clasping V-like rack'is of an"upright"Clasping V-like rack as in use with a co-operative'V-body' I describe, below, an embodiment of this invention as a wall Clasping V-like rack (of parts 1, 2 & 2b), as in use, for secure removable holding of a co-operative V-body (3).

The embodiment of this invention described below is a Clasping V-like rack (of parts 1,2 & 2b), held flush against a wall with the use of screws (not shown in accompanying drawings) fitted through screw-holes (not shown) at the upper & lower (as in use) ends of the Clasping V-like rack (of parts 1,2 & 2b).

The Clasping V-like rack (of parts 1,2 & 2b) comprises V bar (2) s held in fixed relation to one-another via their respective firm & rigid union with a common framework base (2b).

I describe also an arrangement of various part that form what I term a'Simple removable shelf unit' (of parts 3,4 & 5) in which the co-operative V-body (3) is a central structural component.

The arrangement of various parts that includes a V-body (3) for co-operation with the Clasping V-like rack (of parts 1,2 & 2b) described below and which forms what I have termed a'Simple removable shelf unit' (of parts 3,4 & 5), may be described, in general terms, as an arrangement of 3 main parts : A'V-body' (3), a pair of'Shelf frame support' (4) s and a Shelf frame' (5).

I. A'V-body' (3) that provides rigid surfaces to which respective'Shelf frame support' (4) s and a respective'Shelf frame' (5) may be fixed, in a way, to form a shelf unit that may support a'shelf board'in a useful way.

The V-body (3) is co-operative with the Clasping V-like rack (of parts 1, 2 & 2b) described below, in a way, so it may be well anchored and securely held (in a removable way) by the Clasping V-like rack (of parts 1,2 & 2b).

2. A pair of'shelf frame support' (4) s to support the'Shelf frame' (5) as a useful "horizontal" (as in use) frame that may support a'shelf board' 3. A'Shelf frame' (5) to provide a frame upon which a'shelf board'may be fixed and held "horizontally" (as in use).

The'front'of the V-body (3), below, is the surface to which the lower (as in use) end of each shelf frame support (4) is fixed.

[Detailed description] The Simple removable shelf unit (of parts 3,4 & 5), outlined above, is described below, as in use on the respective wall Clasping V-like rack (of parts 1,2 & 2b) which is also described below, by way of example, with reference to accompanying drawings, figures 1-7, in which ; Figure 1 a Shows a view from above of the Clasping V-like rack (of parts 1,2 & 2b).

Fig 7 shows a view from the front of the Simple removable shelf unit (of parts 3,4 & 5) securely held-in a removable way, by the Clasping V-like rack (of parts 1,2 & 2b), as a shelf unit that may usefully support a'shelf board' With reference to Figs 1-7, I provide written description, below, of the Clasping V-like rack (of parts 1,2 & 2b) and the arrangement of parts that form the Simple removable-shelf unit (of parts 3,4 & 5) illustrated in Figs 1 to 7, as in use.

The Clasping V-like rack (of parts 1, 2 & 2b) is a V-like rack comprising a pair of recessed V-bar (2) s which are recessed, in a way, so a respective side of the respective V-body (3) may be slotted within and gripped by the recess of a respective recessed V bar (2), in a way, so The V-body (3), may be usefully held (in a removable way) and prevented from moving excessively in an unwanted back & forth manner whilst on the Clasping V-like rack (of parts 1,2 & 2b).

Each recessed V-bar (2) is routed & hollowed-out along the length of it's inner side, in a way, to form a desired recess. The recess of each recessed V bar (2) has a right-angled shape, see Fig la.

The Clasping V-like rack (of parts 1,2 & 2b) is held flush against a wall by screws (not shown in accompanying drawings) fitted through respective screw holes (not shown) in unrecessed section of the body of each recessed V-bar (2), at the upper & lower (as in use) ends of each V bar (2).

The V-body (3), of the'Simple removable shelf unit' (of parts 3,4 & 5), (as in use).

This consists of four square widthed bar-lengths welded together, in a way, to form the bar length frame body of the V-body (3) shown in Fig 2. The top bar-length of this frame body is greater in length than the bottom bar length of this frame body. There are two rising barlength sides of this frame body. See fig 2.

The, Left & Right, rising bar-length sides, of the V-body (3), are joined at their ends, respectively, to the Left and Right ends of the"horizontal" (as in use) top & bottom barlengths of the V-body (3), in a way, so the shorter"horizontal"bottom bar-length is held centrally under the top"horizontal"bar-length, see Fig 2.

Respectively, the Left & Right rising bar-length sides, of the V-body (3), rise at an angle that complements the rising angle of the Left & Right recessed V bar (2) s of the Clasping V-like rack (of parts 1,2 & 2b) by which the V-body (3) is held (in a removable way).

Respectively, each rising (as in use) side, of the V-body (3), is gripped by the recess of a rising (as in use) recessed V bar (2) of the Clasping V-like rack (of parts 1,2 & 2b) by which the V-body (3) is held (in a removable way) The V-body (3) provides a securely anchored and rigid surface to which the respective Shelf frame support (4) s and the Shelf frame (5), described below, are welded.

The'Shelf frame' (5), of the Simple removable shelf unit (of parts 3,4 & 5), as in use.

This comprises four bar lengths which are welded together, in a way, to form a rectangular bar length frame, see Fig 6.

The front and back bar lengths of the Shelf frame (5) are of equal length and are longer than the equally-lengthed side bar lengths of the Shelf frame (5), see Fig 6. The front and back bar lengths of the Shelf frame (5) are shorter than the length of the upper (as in use) bar length of the V-body (3)-described above.

The back bar length of the Shelf frame (5) is welded centrally to the top (as in use) surface of the upper bar length of the V-body (3)-described above.

The front bar length of the Shelf frame (5) is supported by the pair of Shelf frame support (4) s, described below, in a way, so the major-width dimension of rectangle of the Shelf frame (5) is at right-angles to the rising (as in use) dimension of the V-body (3), see Fig 6.

The pair'Shelf frame support'(4) s, of the Simple removable shelf unit (of parts 3,4 & 5), as in use.

Each'Shelf frame support (4) is simply a bar length with each end of it's length bevelled at a 45 degree angle, in a way, so it's upper (as in use) end is welded flush against the under side of the front bar length of the'Shelf Frame' (5) and its lower (as in use) end is welded flush against the front side of the lower"horizontally" (as in use) extending bottom (as in use) bar length of the V-body (3). In this way each Shelf frame support (4) effectively supports the Shelf frame (5) in a usefully"horizontal" (as in use). See Fig 4.

One or more than one Clasping V-like rack, such as the Clasping V-like rack (of parts 1 & 2) may be together within a larger framework, such as framework (6) shown in Fig 8, in a way, so a'combine Clasping V-like rack framework'is formed, see Fig 8.

A Combined Clasping V-like rack framework, such as framework (6), may be a wall framework held to a wall with screws, or with-appropriate fitment of legs-may be a freestanding framework away from a wall, not shown in Fig 8.

A plate like V-body such as the V-body (7) shown in Fig 9, for good co-operation with a Clasping V-like rack such as the Clasping V-like rack (of parts 1,2 & 2b), may be formed, in a way, so each respective side edge (8)-that is to slot within & be held by a recess (1)-is of a narrow width in relation to the rest of the minor-width dimension of the V-body (7) and does not extend (as in use) to the innermost-depth edge of a respective recess (l), in a way, so the respective edge (8) is a"short"protrusion (8) that may be clasped (during use) by the respective recess (l), in a way, to prevent unwanted back & forth movement of the V-body whilst wedging of the V-body in the Clasping v-like rack is between & against the non recessed aspects of the inner facing sides of the respective V bar (2) s. Thus V space of the Clasping V-like rack (of parts 1,2 & 2b) is re-defined.

A plate like V-body may be formed with rising (as in use) sides that are flat-as with those of V-body (3), rather than with protrusions such as protrusion (8) s (above), if desired.

Fig 9a shows a front view, of the plate like V-body (7) formed with protrusion (8) s.

Fig 9b shows a view from above, of the plate like V-body (7) formed with protrusion (8) s.

Fig 9c shows a view from below, of the plate like V-body (7) formed with protrusions (8)' A Clasping v-like rack may comprise a pair of recessed V bars, such as the V bar (10) s that are recessed with bevel (9) s of the Clasping V-like rack (of parts (9,10 & lOb) shown in Fig 10. The common framework base of the Clasping V-like rack (of parts 9,10 & lOb) is the common framework base (lOb). See Fig 10.

A V-body, for sound use and good co-operation with the Clasping V-like rack (of parts 9, 10 & lOb), is the V-body (12)-shown in Fig 11-whose rising (as in use on an"upright"V- like rack) sides are bevelled in a complementary way.

The Clasping V-like rack (of parts 9,10 & 1 Ob) is a wall rack held-in Fig 10-flush against a wall surface (l 1).

Screws, through respective screw holes in the upper & lower (as in use) ends of the Clasping V-like rack (of parts 9,10 & 10b), are used for holding the Clasping V-like rack (of parts 9, 10 & lOb) flush against wall surface (l 1) The screws and screw holes for holding the Clasping V-like rack (of parts 9,10 & lOb) against wall surface (11) are not shown in Fig 10.

When the Clasping V-like rack (of parts 9,10 & lOb) is held flush against the wall surface (11), as in Fig 10, respective bevelled edges of the V-body (12) may be slotted between a respective bevel (9) and wall surface (l1), in a way, so V-body (12) may be usefully held in a removable way securely as a well anchored structure, against.

The Clasping V-like rack (of parts 9,10 & lOb), shown in Fig 10, works in conjunction with wall surface (11).

A Clasping V-like rack of bevelled recessed V bars, such as a Clasping V-like rack (of parts 9,10 & lOb), may be successfully formed and used in a free-standing framework such as that shown in Fig 8, if a rigid & flat surface (of e. g. a suitably sized plate) is fitted firmly behind each bevelled recess, in a way, to operate as a wall surface such as wall surface (l 1).

Fig lOa shows a view from above of the Clasping V-like rack (of parts 9,10 & lOb). Wall surface (11) is also shown in this Fig.

Fig 10b shows a view from the front of the Clasping V-like rack (of parts 9,10 & lOb).

Fig 11 a shows a view from the front of the V-body (12).

Fig 1 lb shows a view from above of the V-body (12) Fig l l c shows a view from below of the V-body (12).

A Simple removable shelf unit, such as the Simple removable shelf unit (of parts 3,4 & 5) above, may be formed with a plate like V-body, if desired.

[Possible uses of a Clasping V-like rack] A removable shelf unit, such as the Simple removable shelf unit (of parts 3,4 & 5)described above, may be used to usefully support a shelf board, mentioned above.

A shelf board may be firmly fixed & supported in a useful way on a supporting frame such as a Shelf frame (5) of a framework unit such as a Simple removable shelf unit (of parts 3,4 & 5).

A box such as, for example, a shelving cabinet box of suitable size may be firmly fixed & supported in a useful way on a supporting frame such as a Shelf frame (5) of a framework unit such as a Simple removable shelf unit (of parts 3,4 & 5). A shelving cabinet box thus supported also forms a removable shelf unit.

A hi-fi loud speaker may be firmly fixed & supported in a useful way on a supporting frame such as a Shelf frame (5) of a framework unit such as a Simple removable shelf unit (of parts 3, 4 & 5).

A flat-bottomed casing-body of a unit such as a clock, may be firmly fixed & supported in a useful way on a supporting frame such as a Shelf frame (5) of a framework unit such as a Simple removable shelf unit (of parts 3,4 & 5).

A unit such as a box cupboard may be firmly fixed & supported in a useful way on a supporting frame such as a Shelf frame (5) of a framework unit such as a Simple removable shelf unit (of parts 3,4 & 5).

The Simple removable shelf unit (of parts 3,4 & 5) described above is made of metal.

Another rigid material, e. g. wood or plastic, may be used for creation of a unit such as the Simple removable shelf unit (of parts 3,4 & 5) described above.

Firm fixing of a shelf board, or other unit-as above-, to a support frame such as a Shelf frame (5) may in a variety of ways, depending on the respective material of the support frame and unit to be fixed.

For example firm fixing of a shelf board, or other unit-as above-, to a metal supporting frame such as a Shelf frame (5) may be by welding, or gluing.

Cross bars of a support framework such as a Shelf frame (5) may be formed with "vertical" (as in use) bolt holes (not shown in accompanying drawings) along their length, in a way, so nuts & bolts may be used for firm fixing of a respective unit with support frame, if desired, where complementing bolt holes also exist usefully in the respective unit.

It may be desirable to form a support frame such as a Shelf frame (5) in one-part with a unit it is intended to support.

A Clasping V-like rack and co-operative V-body combination may be used for removable holding and secure support of a variety of units, other than shelving units.

A Clasping V-like rack may be used to removably hold and usefully support a co-operative plate like V-body on it's own, if desired. Such a V-body may be a plate-like V-body of which the front surface may be painted as a sign, or have a wooden sign fixed to it.

A unit such as a mirror may be formed with a respective V space complementing shape & size, in a way, as a V-body that may be usefully held- (in a removable way) by a Clasping Vlike rack whose V space it complements and whose V bar recesses it may be closely gripped by.

Rigid'spacer-bodies'may be securely fitted between the front of a co-operative (bar length frame, or plate like) V-body and the back of a un

A shelf board may be formed of a material other than wood, such as metal, rigid-plastic.

By'shelving unit', above & below, I mean a framework that may support a shelf board, in a way, so the shelf board may be successfully used, in a way, as intended.

Where I speak of a'shelving unit', above & below, I am referring, either to a'shelving unit' that is supporting a shelf board, in a way, as immediately above, or to a'shelving unit'that is not supporting but which may support a shelf board in such way.

A unit such as a'Simple removable shelf unit'- (above) is a'shelving unit'as such, as is a unit such as a'shelving cabinet box'- (above).

It may be desirable to form a Clasping V-like rack of two'independent recessed V bar's, in a way, wherein the respective independent recessed V bars are held (with e. g. screws, bolts, or welding) fixedly to a rigid surface-structure (such as a wall, or plate, surface) , independent of one-another, in a way, so a desired V space is formed between them.

A Clasping V-like rack may be formed, then, of two separate recessed V bars held independent of one-another but in a desired fixed relation to one-another on a common surface-structure, in a way, so a Clasping V-like rack may be formed with a V-space as desired, wherein the recessed V-bars are not joined by a common framework aspect such as a common framework base (2b), or (lOb).

A recessed V bar, of a Clasping V-like rack that provides a clasping recess in conjunction with a rigid surface-structure such as a wall surface-for example a recessed V bar such as a recessed V bar (10) with a bevelled recess (9) that works in conjunction with a wall surface (11)-, may be formed with an'L'-like shaped recess, in a way, so when held- (as intended) fixedly & flush against a rigid surface-structure- (of e. g. a wall) the respective rigid surface-structure provides the other clasping surface of the recess and a desired right angled'U'-like shaped recess may be formed by the recessed V bar in conjunction with the rigid surface-structure.
