JOSEPH STURM, OF CANTON, OHIO, ASSIGNOR TO UNITED ALLOY STEEL CORPORATION; OF CANTON, OHIO, A CORPORATION OF NEW YORK.
' SHEET-METAL SHELVING.
Applicatifii filed September 1, 1922. Serial No. 585,686.
1 To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOSEPH STURM, a citi- Zen of the United States, residing at Canton, in the county of Stark and State of 5 Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sheet-Metal Shelving, of which the following is a specification.
The invention relates to shelving for use provided with end Walls and back walls,
with an occasional intermediate partition wall, and a comparatively shallow bin front along the forward side of each shelf. Thepresent invention involves the cutting of series of transverse slots in each shelf, and the use of an abbreviated bin partition between the bin front and back wall, having hooks on the lower edge for engaging in any one series of slots, with a cam acting extension on one end for locking the parti tion between the bin front and the back wall.
The general idea thus set forth may be embodied in various forms as illustrated in the accompanying drawings, forming part hereof, in which- Figure l is a fragmentary perspective view of a tier of shelves, broken away to show the-improved bin partitions therein;
Fig. 2, a perspective view of a simple form of bin partition, with the cam acting extension detached therefrom;
Fig. 3, a side elevation of the same form of bin partition in place, showing the shelf parts in section;
Figure 4, a similar view of the forward end of a like partition, showing a modified form of cam acting extension on the forward end of the partition;
. Fig. 5, a detached perspective view of the modified extension;
Fig. 6, a view ofa similar partition, showing forwardly acting hooks and a double guide slot extension on its rear end;
Fig. 7, a detached perspective view of'a double guide extension;
Fig. 8, a fragmentary perspective view of a modified form of bin partition having slotted corrugations therein, for engaging the ends of longitudinal bin partitions;
Fig. 9, a fragmentary section of the modified taansverse partition, on line 88, Fig, 8; an
Fig. 10, a fragmentary section of one longitudinal partition on line 9-9, Fig. 8.
ig. 11 shows amodified form of bin partition.
Similar numerals .of like parts refer to similar parts throughout the drawings.
The shelving may be of any well known form and construction in which shelves 11, a top 12, aback wall 13, and an end wall or intermediate partition 14, are all supported by uprights l5; and in which a bin front 16 is secured at or near the forward edge 17 of each shelf.
A series of transversely positioned and spaced slots 18 are provided at convenient intervals apart along each shelf, and a simple form of bin partition 19 may be made of a single ply of sheet metal, having one or more hooks 20 formed as by cutting on its lower edge for engaging a shelf by entering the slots, and having the remainder of the lower edge bent to one side or the other'to form foot flanges 21 for resting upon the shelf. z
The hooks 20 may be directed rearward so as to enter corresponding slots and engage the shelf by a rearward movement of the partition, as shown in Figs. 1 to 4; and the length of the partition and'the location of the hooks are so related to the distance between bin front and the rear wallof the shelving, as to permit the necessary movement of the partition for its hooks to engage the shelf; and when so engaged to bring the rear end of the partition into abutment with the rear wall of the shelving.
The resulting gap between the forward end of the abbreviated partition 19 is closed, and the partition is locked endwise in posi-- tion, by means of a cam acting extension on the forward end thereof, which may be in the form of a sheet strip 22 folded U-shaped to straddle downward over the forward end of the partition, and slidably secured thereto by means of a rivet 23 extending through a curved guide slot 24 in the forward end of the partition; so that an upward movement of the extension will move it inward into the position shown at 22 in Fig. 1, and that a downward sliding of the extension will nfove it forward to fill the gap and lock the partition in position, by the cam or wedge action of the extension against the rear side of the bin front, as shown at 22", in Figs. 1 and 3.
A modified form of cam acting extension 22 is shown in Fig. 4, which may be a strip of sheet metal bent U-shaped to engage around the end of the bin partition 19, and having a pivotal connection therewith as by a rivet 23 through the inner lower corner ofthe extension; so that the extension may be thrown upward clear of the end of the partition, as shown by broken lines in Fig. 4:, and may also be swung downward to act as a cam against the inner side of the bin front 16, to fill the gap and lock the partition in position, as shown in Fig. 4.
In the further modification shown in Fig. 6, the partition 19 may be provided with forwardly directed books 20', in which event the extension 22 is mounted on the rear end of the partition, and may be secured thereto by two rivets 23 operating in two inclined guide slots 24 to give a cam locking action when the extension is moved downward and rearward to close the gap between the rear end of the partition and the back wall of the shelving.
In the form of the invention shown in Figs. 8, 9 and 10 of the drawings, the bin partition 19 may be formed by folding a sheet upon itself to make two plies of metal, in the lower edges of which the hooks 20 are out as before and the remaining lower edge portion of the partition 'are bent outward in opposite directions to form foot flanges 21 on both sides of the partition.
In either form of partition a series of protruding longitudinal corrugations 25 may be pressed, rolled, or otherwise formed on the sides of the bin partition and when the partition is formed of two plies of metal, these corrugations may be opposed to each other. These corrugations serve not only to strengthen the partition, but may be provided with vertically aligned slots 26, into which may be entered the ends of longitudinal partitions 27 for securing them in various positions between the bin front and the back wall of the shelving.
Similar slots 26' may be provided in disconnected protrusions 25 pressed or otherwise formed on the sides of a bin partition 19', as shown in a fragmentary perspective view in Fig. 11 of the drawings.
I claim:
1. A shelf having a bin front and a back wall and provided with spaced transverse slots, a bin partition having hooks on its lower edge engaging the shelf in the slots, and a movable extension on its end acting to lock the partition endwise in place.
2. A shelf having a bin front and a back wall and provided with spaced transverse slots, an abbreviated bin partition having hooks on its lower edge engaging the shelf in the slots, and a movable extension on its eilld acting to lock the partition endwise in p ace.
3. A shelf having a bin front and a back wall and provided with spaced transverse slots, an abbreviated bin partition having hooks on its lower edge engaging the shelf in the slots, foot flanges resting on the shelf, and a movable extension on its end acting to lock the partition endwise in place.
4:. A shelf having a bin front and a back wall and provided with spaced transverse slots,'an abbreviated bin partition having hooks on its lower end engaging the'shelf in the slots by an endwise movement of the partition, and a movable extension on one end acting to lock the partition endwise in place.
5. A shelf having a bin front and a back wall and provided with spaced transverse slots, an abbreviated bin partition having hooks on its lower ends engaging the shelf in the slots by an endwise movement to bring one end into abutment with the wall,
- and a movable extension on the other end acting to lock the partition endwise in place. 6. A shelf with transverse bin partitions thereon having endwise corrugations on their sides with upright slots therein and longitudinal bin partitions having ends engaged in the slots.
7. A shelf with transverse bin partitions thereon having protrusions on their sides with upright slots therein and longitudinal blin partitions having ends engaged in the s ots.
8. A shelf having spaced slots therein and a partition having hooks on its lower end engaging the shelf in the slots and foot flanges resting on the shelf.
