Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for attaching fittings, such as dividers, product trays, etc., on shop and warehouse shelves, which shelves are provided with a mounting strip running along at least one longitudinal edge of the shelf, the said fitting being provided with a gripping device at one end, which gripping device is arranged to engage over a mounting strip arranged on the shelf when mounting said fitting.
  • a principal object of the present invention is to achieve an attaching device of the type described above, which comprises a gripping device, the function of which does not require any flexibility and which gripping device can therefore be manufactured out of a relatively cheap plastic material.
  • a gripping device of the type described in the first paragraph comprises a recess or channel which is open at the bottom and is delimited by two side walls and a part joining these together, which recess or channel runs essentially at right angles to the longitudinal extent of said fitting and has such a width that it can receive a mounting strip.
  • the gripping device is characterized in accordance with the present invention by the combination of at least one of the side walls of the recess or channel being designed with a projection projecting into the recess or channel, which projection is arranged to interact with a mounting strip arranged on the shelf when the fitting is mounted, in order to make unintentional removal of said fitting from the mounting strip by raising it up from the strip more difficult, and of said at least one side wall having, in addition, a ridge running -between said projection and the bottom of the recess or channel, which ridge is arranged to engage with the strip when a fitting is mounted on the mounting strip, which makes unintentional movement of the fitting along the mounting strip more difficult.
  • a device of this kind can be manufactured of relatively cheap plastic material, such as for example polystyrene, as the gripping device does not need to be flexible, as relative movements between the gripping device and the mounting strip are prevented or made more difficult by said projection.
  • each projection is designed with a locking surface facing towards the bottom of the recess or channel, which locking surface is arranged to interact with an engaging surface on the strip when a fitting is mounted on the mounting strip.
  • the projection provided with a locking surface is suitably designed with a part that is chamfered towards the longitudinal opening edge of the recess or channel.
  • Both side walls of the recess or channel are suitably designed with projections facing towards each other.
  • the other end of the divider is suitably provided with a number of essentially rectangular cutouts located at a distance from each other, which cutouts have such a width that they can receive a mounting strip running along the other edge of the shelf.
  • the divider is preferably provided with break indications between the positions of these cutouts in order to make it possible to adjust the length of the divider to the width of the shelf in question in a simple way.
  • the device is suitably manufactured in one piece with the fitting by injection moulding of polystyrene.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of a part of a shop shelf with two dividers mounted upon the shelf.
  • Figure 2 is a side view of a divider shown in Figure 1 with certain parts removed in order to illustrate the engagement of the gripping part with the mounting strip, with Figure 2A being an enlargement thereof.
  • Figure 3 is a perspective view showing the divider according to Figure 2 viewed obliquely from beneath, with Figure 3A being an enlarged view showing the channel between the claws of the gripping part and projections projecting into this channel.
  • Figure 4 and the enlargement in 4A show a horizontal section through the divider's gripping part and its engagement with a mounting strip.
  • Figures 5-7 show a side view, a front view and a perspective view respectively of a second preferred embodiment of a divider.

  • Two dividers 3 are mounted on the T-shaped upper parts of the mounting strips, see also Figures 2 and 2A.
  • Each divider 3 is provided at its front end with a gripping part 4, comprising two side sections 5 designed as claws, which delimit between them a channel that is open at the bottom, which channel runs essentially at right angles to the longitudinal extent of the divider, and which channel has such a width that it can grip over a mounting strip 2 with little or no play.
  • a front part arranged on each divider is designated by 6, which front part serves as a forward- feed stop for goods that are in the compartment between two dividers.

  • a divider 3 at its back end to a mounting strip 2 running along the back edge of the shelf.
  • the back end of the divider can also be provided with a corresponding gripping part as at its front end.
  • the divider cannot, however, be designed with a plurality of separate gripping parts along its rear section in order to fit different widths of shelf. These parts would then obstruct the free passage of goods between the dividers. In addition, such a solution would be unnecessarily expensive.
  • a divider according to the above must be able to be manufactured from a relatively cheap plastic material, such as polystyrene, it is not possible to rely on any spring action of the claws 5 of the gripping part 4 in order to obtain a good grip around the mounting strip, as this would give rise to the formation of cracks.
  • the inner surfaces of the claws 5 of the gripping part are provided with projections 10 projecting into the channel 25 between the claws.

  • Such an engagement between the edges 9 and the mounting strip 2 makes unintentional displacement of the divider along the mounting strip 2 impossible or difficult.
  • the projections 10 are designed with a part 13 that is chamfered towards the longitudinal opening edge of the canal 25.
  • the chamfered part 13 makes it easier to press the divider down onto the mounting strip 2 to the position in which the locking surface 11 interacts with the engaging surface 12 on the mounting strip to lock the gripping part of the divider on the strip.
  • the mounting of the divider on the strip is also made easier by the T-shaped mounting part of the strip being constructed with rounded edge sections in the embodiment illustrated. The edge sections can, however, also be straight which improves still further the divider's grip around the strip.

  • This divider is designed with a rectangular cutout 15 at its front end, which cutout forms the gripping part of the divider with channel.
  • the divider has thus no gripping claws projecting in a sideways direction, but instead the engaging edges that are described above and are shown in Figures 2-4 are arranged on the opposing side surfaces of the cutout 15, that is as integrated parts of the material of the divider.
  • the divider 14 is provided at its front edge with a stop plate 16 and the rear section of the divider is provided with a number of cutouts 17 and weakened parts 18. This makes it possible to fit the divider to the required shelf depth in a simple way and to fix the back end of the divider onto a second mounting strip, if so required.
  • Figures 8-11 show a divider of the type that is described in association with Figures 5-7, mounted on a mounting strip 2 with T-shaped profile.
  • the engaging edges on the opposing side edges of the cutout 15 at the front end of the divider 14 engage with the mounting strip 2 in a corresponding way to those illustrated in Figures 2A and 4A. Gripping claws projecting sideways from the divider are not utilized, as shown in Figure 10.
  • the front stop plate 16 serves as a lateral support for the divider 14, by the lower edge of the plate making contact with the substrate or the bottom plate of the mounting strip 2, see Figure 11. This prevents the divider 14 from toppling sideways.
  • the divider 14 can also be constructed in such a way that, when the divider is mounted, the stop plate 16 makes contact with one edge surface of the T-shaped mounting strip 2, see Figures 8 and 10. This prevents the divider 14 being set at an angle sideways.
