Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a shelving device including shelves suspended by shelf posts, the shelves being provided at a rear portion thereof to engage corresponding holes formed in the shelf posts. It is adapted to be suspended by a shaped hook or hook.

The shelves can be, for example, square, rectangular or triangular in shape and can be supported by perforated squares that serve as the shelves described above.

[0003]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Known prior art shelving systems of the prior art comprise mostly perforated trucks or bars mounted on a perforated track with separate arms or brackets or brackets attached to shelves. ing.

[0004]

One of the disadvantages of these devices is that the shelves must be made of a material of considerable thickness. Alternatively, it is necessary that the position where the hook or hook-shaped member engages with the support member such as the support column or the rod is set to be relatively high in the vertical direction. The vertical brackets, which are highly shaped as side pieces on the shelves, have the effect of concealing, for example, the goods displayed in the exhibition hall or in the store when viewed obliquely. A further disadvantage associated with conventional shelving devices is, for example, that the parts are bulky in the manufacturing process or in transportation.

The main object of the present invention is to provide a shelving device which minimizes the costs of manufacture, transportation and assembly, and to increase the possibility of changing the general layout of, for example, exhibition halls and shops. is there.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a shelving device in which a strong shelf can be formed without hiding a commodity whose side pieces and end pieces are displayed.

These and other objects and advantages are achieved by the present invention, which has the features defined in the appended claims.

[0008]

The shelving surface of the shelving device according to the invention may be of other shapes, for example square, rectangular or triangular, the surface of which is its long side, short side or pair. The corner side portion is provided with an end piece facing upward from the surface of the shelf and an end piece facing downward from the surface of the shelf, and a shelf is provided at a rear edge of the end piece. It is provided with hooks or hooks for attaching, i.e. hanging, to shelf posts. The shelf post 36 shown here is of a conventional type and can be constructed of square timber with a two-dimensional cross-section, on one or more sides thereof for receiving the shelf support hooks. It has a row of holes. In the post shown, only one row of holes or slots 38 is formed.

Other features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following description, claims and drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT The shelf shown in FIG. 1 comprises a rectangular shelf surface 10 with one short side upwardly flanged end piece 12 and the opposite short side downwardly flanged. There is a bent end piece 14. Front side 16 of shelf 10
Is bent downward to form a flange, and the rear side 1 of the shelf 10
8 is bent upward in a flange shape. The long edges at the rear of the end piece 14 cut at an angle. Hooks or hooks 20 are formed to engage the holes 38 to suspend the shelf 10 on the support posts 36 of the shelving system. Between the rear edge of the upwardly bent end piece 12 and the upwardly bent rear side 18 of the shelf,
A suitable gap 22 is provided to allow several shelves to be stacked together during storage or shipping.

The shelves shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 are triangular shelves 2.
4 from which one end piece 26 is bent upwards and another end piece 28 is bent downwards. Its end pieces 26, 28, which are angledly cut and inclined towards the front side of the shelf, are provided at their rear edges with hooks 30 for suspension on the support columns 36 of the shelving device.

The trailing edges of the end pieces 26, 28 are located at the corners or points of the shelf 24 at right angles, and the corners are provided with notches 32 on which the shelf is suspended. There is now a space left for the supporting stanchions.
In the case of the example shown, it is assumed that the support struts are square and have suspension holes on two adjacent sides. Notches 32 also facilitate stacking shelves during storage or shipping. At the front edge of the shelf surface without the end pieces, the surface is bent downwards to form the front side 34.

A square or rectangular shelf according to FIG.
The hooks 20 of the upwardly bent end pieces 12 are inserted into the holes of the first support column and suspended on the support column. Moreover, the hooks are first put in, after which the hooks 20 of the opposite, downwardly bent end piece 14 are inserted into the holes of the second cooperating strut. The triangular shelves of FIGS. 2 and 3 are mounted in a similar manner, but the upwardly bent end pieces and the downwardly bent end pieces are attached to each corresponding side of the same column. .

In the shelf according to the invention, there is a relatively large distance between the top and bottom hooks 20, 30 of the upwardly bent end pieces and the downwardly bent end pieces. As a result, the shelf has extremely high stability and support capacity. In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, where each end piece has only one hook, this feature is such that each hook is as high as possible with the end piece 26 bent upwards. , With the downwardly bent end piece 28 positioned as low as possible.

Since the two end pieces are bent downward and upward, the shelves can be stacked. For rectangular or square shelves, the corner gaps between the rear edges of the upwardly bent end pieces and the upwardly bent rear side portions 18 make these shelves perfectly fit. It is possible to overlap.

[0016]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, there is provided a shelving device which can minimize the cost of storage, transportation and assembly, which is further common in, for example, exhibition halls and shops. The possibility of changing the layout can be increased.

Further, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a shelf device in which a strong shelf board can be integrally formed without hiding a commodity whose side pieces and end pieces are displayed.
