useful Improvements in Printers Racks, of
which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to an improved form of printers rack for holding printers galleys and the like, and among the objects of my invention is to provide a rack of such construction as'to combine the maximum of strength, cheapness of manufacture, durability, simplicity, efficiency, completeness, adaptability, and at the same time one that is neat and compact; further to provide supporting ledges, stamped and bent out from the metal of the sides. and partitions to result in ledges quickly formed and effective in use, and also to make the greatest possible use of the available space within the rack; further to provide a novelarrangement of assembling and securing together the vari ous parts; further to provide a novel form and arrangement of covering, partition, side, and back members; and such further objects, advantages .and capabilities as will later more fully appear.
My invention further resides in that com bination, construction and arrangement of parts shown in the drawings, and while I have illustrated therein a preferred embodiment of my invention, I desire it to be understood that the same is susceptible of modification and change without departing from the spirit of my invention.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a portion of my improved rack showing the parts in assembled position but with certain portions broken away for the sake of clearness.
Fig.2 is a horizontal longitudinal section taken through two of the adjacent partitions and showing the construction thereof.
Fig. 3 is a transverse vertical sectional view through'my improved rack showing the supporting ledge construction in elevation and the resilient flanges for detachably securing the cover plate in position,
Fig. 1 is a fragmentary view through one of the partition members and showing, the
integral construction of the supporting ledges.
eferring to t e drawingsv and the derack is made up of a. plurality of upstanding Wall members comprising the side members 1 and the partition members 2, which as shown, are secured together at their rear edges by the back plates 3, and at their for ward lower corners by the brace member 4.
Detachably fitting over the top of the rack is the cover member 5.
Referring to the construction of the partition members, it will be seen from an inspection of- Figs. 1 and 2 that they are. formed from a single sheet of material (preferably metal.) In this sheet of metal and prior to bending the same into final form, is formed by stamping out from the body portion a plurality of parallel and suitably spaced supporting ledges 6. These ledges are arranged in vertical series, which series are so spaced the series in each of the spacedapart sides of the plate will be directly opposite each other, as clearly seen in Fig. 4. The plate is next bent at suitable distances on each side of its longitudinalcenter line vinto the two rectangular bends 7 and 8. The material between the bends 7 and 8 constitutes an integral spacing plate 9, which in conjunction with the rectangularly bent metal at the rear of the partition (later to bedescribed) spaces the sides 10 and 11 a suitable distance apart. Near the rear edges of the parallel sides 10 and 11,1 form the re verse rectangular bends 12and 13, from the bend 13 of which extends the centerm'inous portions 14 and '15. This, as will be seen, results in a partition member of hollow formation with the supporting ledges stamped'inte'grally from each side thereof, and with the contiguous rear sides thereof in abutting relation, whereby they may be readilysecuredtogether as will belater de-' scribed.
The side members 1-are formed by bending in a manner similar to that described in connection with the partition members 2, with the exception that the supporting ledges 6 are stamped from only one side thereof, and at its rear edge portion the re-' verse rectangular bend is provided in only one side instead of both, the outer face 16, as. shown in Fig. 1, being fiat from the forward front edge to the extreme rear edge. It will be seen in Fig. 2 that the reverse rectangular bends 12 and 13 result near the rear edge of the partition and. SldQ. membersln that when the plate is bent into final form,
the inset shoulder designated generally by A. Connecting the partition members and the side members together at their rear edges are the back plates 3, which plates are suitably formed at each longitudinal edge with the rectangular flanges 17, which flanges are so dimensioned to fit snugly within the shoulders A, after which they are firmly secured in position by means of suitable bolts, rivets, or the like, designated at 18. These back plates are of such length as to be flush with the upper and lower ends of the partition and side members, and are of such width as to space the supporting ledges 6 such distance apart as to accommodate the size of printers trays or the like desired.
The upright wall members are further secured and made rigid at their forward lower corners by the brace member 4, which as shown, is preferably formed of a suitable angular strip, the vertical leg of which 18 secured to the lower portion of the upright Wall members by the bolts, rivets, or the like, as shown at 19 (see Figs. 1 and 2.)
In order to prevent dirt, dust, and the like from entering the rack from above, and also to provide additional stiffening means, I have provided the cover member 5, which as clearly'seen in Figs. 1 and 3, is composed of the flat plate 20 suitably flanged at its forward and rear edges, which flanges, as shown in Fig. 3,extends downwardly and then inwardly and again downwardly to provide the resilient leg 21. Similar flanges are provided on both the front and rear edges, and as a result of which the cover when placed in position is firmly gripped in place, but not so tightly that it can not be readily removed when desired. The flat plate 20 of the cover 5, as shown in Fig. l, fits snugly against the upper edges of the partition and side members.
One of the important features of my invention is that I form the upright wall members from a single sheet of metal, stamping the supporting ledges from the body portion thereof, and spacing the sides 10 and 11 of the finished member sufiiciently to result in a wall member of hollow formation. A wall member thus constructed possesses great inherent strength and durability, is easily assembled, and when assembled is light but exceedingly rigid.
Having now described my invention, I claim 1. In a printers rack, in combination, side members, one or more partition members, said side and partition members being formed of plates bent back upon themselves, the sides of each of said members being spaced apart, whereby to render said members of hollow formation, supporting ledges stamped and bent outwardly from the inner face of each of said side members and from both sides of each of said partition members, said ledges opposing each other in pairs, whereby to support printers trays, the free edge of the inner side portion of each of said side members having a rectangular offset portion, whereby to form a longitudinally extending shoulder, each of the side portions of each of said partitions having an angular offset portion at their free edge, whereby to form a longitudinally extending shoulder along each side of the edge of each partition, back plates each having a rectangular flange along each longitunal edge thereof, said flanges being firmly secured against the shoulders of said partitions and side members.
2. In a printers rack, in combination, side members, one or more partition'members, said side and partition members being formed of plates bent back upon themselves, the sides of each of said members being spaced apart, whereby to render said members of hollow formation, supporting ledges stamped and bent outwardly from the inner face of each of said side members and from both sides of each of said partition members, said ledges opposing each other in pairs, whereby to support printers trays, the free edge of the inner sideportion of each of said side members having a rectangular ofl'set portion, whereby to form a longitudinally extending shoulder, each of the side portions of each of said partitions having an angular offset portion at their free edge, whereby to form a longitudinally ex- 100 tending shoulder along each side of the edge of each partition, back plates each having a rectangular flange along each longitudinal. edge thereof, said flanges being firmly secured against the shoulders of said parti- 105 tions and side members, and a brace member extending across and firmly secured to the forward lower corner of each of said partitions and side members.
3. In a printers rack, in combination, side 110 members, one or more partition members, said side and partition members being formed of plates bent back upon themselves, the sides of each of said members being spaced apart, whereby to render said mem- 115 bers of hollow formation, supporting ledges stamped and bent outwardly from the inner face of each of said side members and from both sides of each of said partition members, said ledges opposing each other in I palrs, whereby to support printers trays,
the free edge of the inner side portion of each of said side members having a rectangular offset portion, whereby to form a longitudinally extending shoulder, each of theside portions of each of said partitions having an angular ofl'set portion at their free edge, whereby to form a longitudinall extending shoulder along each side of the edge of each partition, back plates each hav ing a rectangular flange along each longitudinal edge thereof, said flanges being firmly secured against the shoulders of said partitions and side members, an angle strip extending across and firmly secured to the forward lower corner of each of said partitions and side members, and a removable cover for said rack and havin a downwardly and inwardly bent resilient flange 10 along each longitudinal edge adapted to resiliently engage over the top edges of said rack.
In witness whereof I hereunto subscribe my name to this specification in the presence of two witnesses.
