Definitions

  • the present invention relates to knockdown steel shelving of the type embodying vertically spaced horizontally disposed rectangular shelves which are releasably secured and braced at their corners to vertical corner posts with a readily and easily engaged novel self-tightening corner fastening means concealed in box flanges on the shelves and engaging the front walls of the posts to provide a completely concealed rugged interfitting relationship which is of great strength.
  • the shelves which are considered are of the type more particularly described in our application, Ser. No. 362,150, now US. Patent 3,276,403 granted Oct. 4, 1966 reference to which is hereby made, in which the shelves are lengthwise marginally reinforced by compound flanges of plural thickness.
  • the shelves are longitudinally provided with vertically extending marginal full box-type flanges, three walls of which are preferably further rigidified by the provision of coextensive longitudinally extending ribs therealong with the fourth wall of each box flange oflset upwardly and preferably incorporating a double thickness of sheet metal adjacent to the top of the shelf.
  • the corners of the shelves are notched or cut-away to expose the ends of the thus rigidified box flanges for clamping cooperation with the corner posts.
  • the corner posts themselves are of four sided box design, preferably with a medial slot through what may be termed the rear wall of the post. Opposite side walls of the posts face the ends of the box flanges on the shelves and the wall is provided with two vertical rows of equally spaced key hole perforations with the narrow portion disposed downwardly.
  • the fastening means spans and engages two adjacent holes of one of the rows with tapered buttons exerting a downward weight bearing tightening movement.
  • the buttons are rigidly carried by a spring element having an arm fastened within the box flange of the shelf and is flexed to urge the buttons away from engagement in the key hole slots. The taper of the buttons tighten the spring element against the post.
  • the present invention is designed to overcome many of the limitations that are attendant upon the construction and use of present day steel knockdown shelving now on the market designed for household consumer use and, toward this end, the invention contemplates the provision of a novel shelving unit which offers advantages over present day shelving units, both functionally and from the standpoint of appearance and ease of assembly and erection.
  • FIG. 1 For purposes of this specification, the principal constituent parts thereof are susceptible to conventional production processes and require for their completion no machining operations to the ends that the shelving as a whole may be manufactured at a low cost; a unit is provided which is rugged and durable and which will 'withstand rough usage and heavy loads; the unit maybe assembled and disassembled readiiy by hand without any tools and by one person with little effort or experience; the assembled product possesses no sharp edges or corners and is devoid of abrupt protrusions; it allows for wide manufacturing tolerances; is attractive in its appearance and pleasing in its design; and is otherwise well adapted to perform the services required of it.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of knockdown steel shelving embodying the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a fragmentary enlarged front elevational view of a post and fastening region of the shelving unit constructed in accordance with the principles of the present invention
  • FIG. 3 is an enlarged sectional view taken substantially on the horizontal plane indicated by the line 33 of FIG. 1 in the direction of the arrows;
  • FIG. 4 is an enlarged sectional view taken substantially on a horizontal plane indicated by the line 4-4 of FIG. 1 in the direction of the arrows;
  • FIG. 5 is a vertical sectional view taken on line 55 of FIG. 4;
  • FIG. 6 is a horizontal sectional view similar to FIG. 4 showing the spring carried fastener buttons in their normal position.
  • a knockdown steel shelving construction 8 is shown in FIG. 1 and involves in its general organization a series of four posts 10 (FIG. 1) and two or more shelves 12 with end panels 14 closing exposed ends of the shelving space, and finishing strips 16 on the front of the front posts.
  • the various corner posts 10, shelves 12, panels and finishing strips are identical in structural characteristics, thereby reducing the number of different items inventoried.
  • the shelves 12 and corner posts 10 are rigidly secured together in their operative assembled relationship by means of fastening devices each of which includes a T-shaped spring blade member 18 (FIG. 2 carrying selftightening tapered buttons 20 on the arms of the T form with the legportion terminally secured to a side of a box flange on'the'shelf. 1
  • the shelf 12 is generally of rectangular configuration and it includes a horizontal planar shelf top portion 21 having downturned transversely extending marginal flanges 22 and'downwardly and longitudinally extending marginal flanges 24.
  • the transverse flanges 22 are single thickness flanges and are provided with re-entran't reverse bends (FIG. 6) at their lower edgesfor reinforcing purposes.
  • each flange 24 is boxflanges' and, as best seen in FIG. 2, each flange includes inside and outside walls 28 and 30 respectively, a bottom wall 32 and a dual 7 thickness top wall 34.
  • the upper edge region of the box flange 24 projects a slight distance above the horizontal ,plane. of the planar body portion 21 of the shelf 12 by reason of a vertical connecting flange 40 between the 7 ,body portion and top wall 34, the flange 40constituting a, a marginal restraining flange to prevent supported objects.
  • the four corners of the shelf 12 are'notched or cut-away as indicated at 42 (FIG. 3) for reception of selected regions of ,thecorner posts 7 10 therein in a manner'that will be described, and ada jacent to the posts the inner wall 28 of-the box flange is perforated as'at'19 to receive rivets or screws as indi-.
  • Each post is of rolled sheet metal construc- I gtion, preferably of a heavier gauge metal than that of the shelf 12' and comprises a main body tubular-type member 7 having parallel side walls 50 and 52, a front wall 54 and 1 a longitudinal slot 58 between two halves 60 of the rear .wall. .
  • the front wall 54 has two parallel rows of key hole perforations 62 therethrough with the narrow portion 64 of the perforation extending downwardly.
  • the perforations are vertically spaced in pairs and at spaced points along the'length of the post single smaller key hole perforations 66 a -As already noted tapered'buttons 20 are riveted to the arms of the T-blade 18 and these buttons engage in the key hole perforations withtheir taper engaging in the narrow portions 64 tighter and tighter with downward .pressure.
  • the front surface of the inner wall 28 of the box flange 24 is coplanar with the front wall 54 of the post; Therefore, as the buttons20 tighteninthe key hole perforations, the'flat of the blade 18 is drawn against the 50 walls 28 and 54 tending to hold them coplanar.
  • the spring blade 18 is bent as at 70 -which with the end of the leg thereof secured to the inner 'face of the inner wall 28 by screws 23 operates to urge the buttons away from the face 54 of the post 10. Accordingly, with spring blades in the front and rear, box flanges at the shelf ends, it would seem that the posts are urged fore and aft away from each other. However, the
  • end panels 14 are marginally groovedas at 72 to be'received in the slots 58 and prevent this movement'at least in the early stages'of' shelf assembly; Then when a shelf is located at a desired level, the head portions of the rigidify the T-blade.
  • The-T-blade in turn is exactly the same width as the inside height of the. box flange 24 and as secured by screws 23 thereto, therigidity is transmitted tothe shelf at all four corners with an. end result that the greater the shelf weight is, the more firmly the shelving is rigidifled against end sway.
  • the panel 14 supports the.
  • buttons 20 are lodged in their working posit-ions in the shelving, the finishing strips 16 are attached to hold the buttons in operative'position. As shown, the.
  • finishing strip is of finished wood with wood screws 76 carrying washers 78 (FIG. 4)' secured at heights corre ⁇ sponding to the locationof the key-hole apertures 66 in the post 10,
  • TheV-contour ofthe screw 76 provides a self tightening action in cooperation with the apertures 66 when the heads are inserted therethrough and the strip has been pulled down toits desired. position.
  • the assembly of the strip 16 to the post10 is characterized bythe ends edges of the T blades 18 being notched as 'at'88 to provide clear access to the apertures '66 (FIG, 2) in event they are located where they overlap the aperture as illustrated in FIG. 2. Furthermore, the .notching isenough to receive the washer 78 therebetween against the front face 54 of the posts to serve as a spacer both there-and anywhere the aperture 66 is notat a'shelf level 7 so that the finishing strip is kept vertically straightwith no curves where thestrippasses over the heads of the T -blad es 18 wherever they may be. However, any looseness of the strip can be remedied by removal and further tightening the wood screws 76 to the extent desired.
  • the strip not posts 10 thus completing the shelving assembly as a mechanically coordinated unit of pleasing appearancewith or without the finishing veneer members 38 (FIG. 2) cover ing the top face of the shelves.
  • the panels 14 are slipped into place in the slots 58 of two pairs of opposing rposts, a shelf is then located in a temporary or its ultimate position'on the posts and the T-blade endsare pressed inwardly to insert the buttons 20 through the selected key hole apertures, first of one pair of posts at oneend and then the other pair of posts at the other end of shelf.
