Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a system for fixing shelf accessories, such as shelf dividers, forward-feed devices, product trays etc., on a shelf with a front fixing device for fixing the accessories, which system comprises: a rear retaining device which is intended to be supported by the shelf, and an accessory which has a front engagement member intended to cooperate with the front fixing device of the shelf, and a rear engagement part, the rear retaining device and the rear engagement part being designed in such a way that, when in engagement with one another, they prevent a rear portion of the accessory from moving in a direction away from the plane of the shelf.
  • the invention also relates to an accessory and to a retaining device for such a system, a method for arranging such a retaining device on a shelf, an assembly tool for carrying out the method, a shelf comprising such a system, and a shelf comprising such a retaining device.
  • the accessories can be fixed to the shelf in a number of different ways, for example mechanically using screws or the like, by frictional engagement, or by adhesion with double-sided tape or the like.
  • the arrangements used to fix the accessories to the shelves should have several basic properties.
  • An important property is that it should be possible to fix the accessories in any position along the length of the shelf, so that the distances between the accessories can be made any length in order to suit different packages and quantities of goods.
  • the accessories should be fixed to the shelf securely in order to avoid unintentional release or movement from their intended positions.
  • the fixing of the accessories should also ensure that they remain steady, so that they do not tip over. In- this connection, it is of great importance that secure fixing is provided while at the same time ensuring that the fixing arrangement allows the accessories to be attached and released easily.
  • the accessories should be fixed to the shelf both on its front end and its rear end in order to prevent either end of the accessory lifting from the shelf.
  • the accessory comprises a front plate or front abutment plate against which the goods rest, for example in the case of a sloping shelf or a forward- feed device, the force of the goods on the front plate exerts a torsional moment on the accessory, which tends to lift the rear part of the accessory off from the shelf.
  • This lifting of the rear end of the accessory is of course undesirable, since it can cause disarray of the goods on the shelf and can additionally lead to the front end of the accessory turning out of its engagement with a front fixing device, in which case both the accessory and the goods may fall from the shelf.
  • a particularly desirable property is that it should be possible to set up a shelf in a simple maneuver by first arranging the desired number of accessories on the shelf and then moving them along the shelf to the final position of the respective accessory, before finally fixing the accessories in these positions.
  • the arrangements for fixing the accessories should be esthetically pleasing, should not unnecessarily obstruct the stocking of the shelf or adjacent shelves with goods or the removal of goods from the shelf or adjacent shelves, and should be simple and inexpensive to manufacture and assemble.
  • US 5,657,702 describes a shelf with an arrangement for locking a plurality of shelf dividers on the shelf.
  • the arrangement comprises a generally U-shaped channel which is formed in the shelf and which extends along the front edge of the shelf, parallel to the longitudinal direction of the shelf.
  • a locking rod is arranged in the channel, parallel to the longitudinal direction of the shelf.
  • the shelf dividers have a generally -shaped cross section, the vertical leg of which constitutes the actual divider, and the horizontal leg of which rests on the shelf. One end of the horizontal leg has a flange which is bent downward and which is arranged to project down into the channel.
  • the arrangement also comprises members for applying a locking force to the locking rod, so that the flange of the divider is locked securely between the locking rod and one of the walls of the channel.
  • maneuvering devices are provided to make it possible to move the locking rod manually between a locking position and a releasing position.
  • the maneuvering devices consist of manually operated levers, or screws that are maneuvered manually with the aid of a screwdriver or a special tool .
  • EP 0 337 340, US 4,615,276 and US 4,775,058 also describe arrangements for fixing accessories on a shelf, which arrangements comprise a front fixing device which allows the accessory to be moved along the shelf but which has no means for retaining the rear part of the accessory on the plane of the shelf.
  • EP 0 320 858 describes a fixing arrangement with a front fixing device which allows movement of the- accessory along the shelf.
  • a rear stabilizing element is snapped securely round a longitudinal bead running along the bottom edge of the accessory.
  • the stabilizing element is bonded adhesively to the shelf.
  • the arrangement ensures that the rear end of the accessory does not lift from the shelf.
  • the arrangement according to EP 0 320 858 does not permit movement of the rear end of the accessory along the plane of the shelf when the rear end is retained on the plane of the shelf.
  • the prior art also includes other known arrangements for retaining the rear end of an accessory on the plane of a shelf.
  • all these arrangements are based on the principle that the rear end of the accessory should be prevented from moving both in a direction away from the plane of the shelf and in all directions parallel to the plane of the shelf.
  • the arrangements may include different types of mechanical locking, adhesion or frictional engagement, all of these aimed at fixing the rear end of the accessory in a position fixed in all directions of the shelf. Therefore, these known arrangements do not permit movement of the accessory along the shelf once the accessory has been placed on the shelf and has been engaged with the rear and front fixing devices of the shelf.
  • the present invention is based on the realization that it is entirely possible to achieve sufficient fixing of an accessory on a shelf and at the same time allow the rear end of the accessory to move parallel to the plane of the shelf. With this free holding of the rear end of the accessory, it is possible to avoid the abovementioned problems which arise if the rear end is allowed to lift from the plane of the shelf.
  • the invention to a large degree facilitates the setting-up and reorganization of shelves since the accessory can easily be moved along the longitudinal direction of the shelf.
  • the rear, free holding of the accessory may permit a certain inclination of the accessory in relation to the direction at right angles to the longitudinal direction of the shelf when the front end of the accessory is locked with the front fixing device.
  • Another object is to permit fixing in a way which retains the rear end of the accessory on the plane of the shelf and at the same time allows the rear end of the accessory to be moved along the plane of the shelf.
  • a further object is to make available a system which permits such fixing and which is easy and inexpensive to manufacture .
  • Yet another object is to make available such a system which can be applied by simple means to an already existing shelf.
  • the accessory is to be moved along the shelf, it is sufficient to release the front engagement member of the accessory from its locking to the front fixing device of the shelf, whereupon the whole accessory is free to be moved along the plane of the shelf. Nor is it then necessary to provide any measures on the rear portion of the accessory.
  • the fact that the rear engagement part is engaged with the rear retaining device ensures at all times that the rear portion of the accessory does not lift from the plane of the shelf.
  • a further advantage is that, if it accidentally ends up in an inclined position during assembly, the accessory will automatically orient itself to the correct position since the stiffness of the accessory seeks to bring the rear portion of said accessory to the intended position.
  • the invention thus means that all adjustments and movements of the accessory can easily be effected from the front edge of the shelf, without the need to insert a hand or arm or any sort of tool in order to act on the engagement between the rear engagement part of the accessory and the rear retaining device of the shelf.
  • the rear retaining device as an elongate element which extends substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the shelf and which controls the movement of the accessory along the plane of the shelf parallel to the longitudinal direction of the shelf, a system is obtained which is easy to manufacture and to assemble and which further facilitates the movement of the accessory in the adjustment direction, parallel to the longitudinal direction of the shelf.
  • the advantage afforded is that the whole accessory is moved along the shelf when a front and easily accessible part of the accessory is gripped and pulled along the shelf.
  • the retaining engagement between the rear retaining device and the rear engagement part is obtained in a reliable and technically simple manner, and also inexpensively, by designing these parts with hooks which cooperate in opposite directions.
  • a special advantage is achieved in this case if the retaining device secured on the shelf has a rearwardly directed hook which limits movement of the rear portion of the accessory in the forward direction. This counteracts excessive inclination of the accessory if a force in the longitudinal direction of the shelf is applied to the rear portion of the accessory, since its front engagement member is locked on the front fixing device of the shelf.
  • That surface of the hook of the engagement part which is at right angles to the plane of the shelf and directed toward the hook of the retaining device is expediently formed with a wedge shape or convex curve which faces toward the retaining device and whose vertex or top is in or near a central longitudinal plane extending through the accessory.
  • the rear engagement part can be designed with a flat support surface which extends parallel to the plane of the shelf above the hook of the retaining device and which, together with the hook of the engagement part, expediently forms a U-shaped member extending parallel to the longitudinal direction of the shelf and receiving part of the hook of the retaining device. In this way, an accessory standing upright from the shelf is stabilized against tipping over.
  • the invention also relates to an accessory and a retaining device for such a system, a method for arranging such a retaining device on a shelf, an assembly tool for carrying out the method, a shelf comprising such a system, and a shelf comprising such a retaining device.
  • the accessory, the retaining device, the method, the assembly tools, and the shelves are defined in the following patent claims 10-16, 17-19, 20-23, 24, 25 and 26, respectively.

  • the partial surfaces 17a' , 17a' ' form an obtuse angle whose point 17b is arranged at the thickest portion of the first part 17, symmetrically straight under the divider wall 14.
  • the retaining device 7 is fixed on the shelf (not shown in Figures 4a and 4b) and the front engagement member 6 of the accessory 3 is in engagement with the front fixing device 2 of the shelf, as is shown in Fig. 1.
  • the rear retaining device 7 is fixed on the shelf at such a distance from the front fixing device 2 that a clearance x is formed between the curved surface 12d of the hook 12 of the retaining device 7 and the point 17b of the first part 17 of the hook 15 of the engagement member 9.
  • the engagement part 9 of the accessory 3 is in engagement with the retaining device 7 by means of the fact that the second part 18 of the hook 15 of the engagement part 9 is received between the base plate 11 of the retaining device 7 and the second part 12b of the hook 12. If the rear end of the accessory is lifted in a direction away from the plane of the shelf, it can only move a short distance before the second part 18 of the hook 15 of the engagement part 9 comes into contact with the second part 12b of the hook 12 of the retaining device 7. At rest, only the support surface 16a of the support plate 16 (see Fig. 3b) of the engagement part 9 bears against the top of the curved portion 12c and a section of the second part 12b of the hook 12 of the retaining device 7.
  • the fact that the angle between the first part 12a and second part 12b of the hook 12 of the retaining device 7 is less than 90° means that the contact surface between the engagement part 9 and the retaining device 7 is minimized. In this way, the friction between the engagement part 9 and the retaining device 7 is reduced when the accessory is moved along the shelf. Another important factor in keeping this friction as low as possible is that the retaining device is mounted at a defined distance from the front fixing device 2 of the shelf, so that the above- described clearance x, in a direction parallel to the plane of the shelf, is obtained between the engagement part 9 and the retaining device 7.
  • the shelf can be set up and reorganized in a simple and ergonomically advantageous manner, without the need to stretch in a hand, arm or tool to the rear portion of the accessory.
  • the system means that a not completely rigid accessory can be inclined when the front part of the accessory is in fixed engagement with the front fixing device 2 of the shelf.
  • Such an inclined position is illustrated in Figures 5a and 5b.
  • the rear portion of the accessory has moved down a distance in the figure, along the retaining device 7, compared to the position shown in Fig. 4b where the accessory extends at right angles to the longitudinal direction of the shelf.
  • the front end of the accessory is fixed in the same position along the front edge of the shelf.
  • Figure 5b shows how the rear portion of the accessory 3 can move along the retaining device until its point 17b on the first part 17 of the hook 15 of the engagement part 9 comes into contact with the curved surface 12d of the second part 12b of the hook 12 of the retaining device 7. Since the point 17b is arranged straight under the divider wall 14, i.e. in a central longitudinal plane of the accessory, there is no torsional moment around the contact line between the point 17b and the curved surface 12d when the elasticity of the accessory seeks to return the rear portion of the accessory to the rest position shown in Fig. 4a. This avoids the problem of the engagement part 9 being tensioned in engagement with the retaining device 7 when the accessory is inclined.
  • the undesired tensioning described above can be counteracted in a corresponding way by designing the surface 17a facing toward the curved surface 12d as a continuously curved convex surface (not shown) toward the surface 12d.
  • the curved surface should then have its top straight under the divider wall .
  • Fig. 1 also shows a first embodiment of an assembly tool 20 for mounting the retaining device 7 on a shelf.
  • the assembly tool 20 comprises a front engagement member 21 for engaging with the front fixing device 2 of the shelf.
  • An elongate rule 22 extends rearward from the front engagement member 21.
  • the rule 22 has a number of thinner areas of material in the form of scores 23 which represent break notches for allowing the rule to be broken off at well-defined positions.
  • a tool hook 24 projects down from the rule 22.
  • the tool hooks 24 are designed to releasably retain the retaining device 7 on the tool 20 by engagement between the hook 12 of the retaining device and the tool hook 24.
  • a retaining device 7 When a retaining device 7 is to be mounted on a shelf, it is of the greatest importance, as has been described above, that it is fixed at the correct distance from the front fixing device 2 of the shelf, so that the clearance x (see Figures 4a and 4b) is formed between the retaining device 7 and the engagement part 9 on that type of accessory intended to be fixed on the shelf.
  • the tool is first adapted to the accessory type in question by being broken off to a length at which the hook corresponding to the mounting distance for said type of accessory becomes the rearmost hook. This reduces the risk of incorrect assembly since it eliminates the uncertainty surrounding which hook is to be used. Thereafter, the two ends of the retaining device are brought into engagement with their adapted tools.
  • the front engagement members 21 of the two assembly tools are brought into engagement with the front fixing device 2 of the shelf, after which the protective film on the double-sided tape 10 is removed.
  • the rear ends of the tools and the retaining device are then moved down toward the plane of the shelf, and the base plate 11, with the double-sided tape, is pressed securely against the shelf.
  • the two tools are removed and can now be used for mounting the next retaining device which is to be mounted at the same distance from the front edge of the shelf. If so required, it is of course possible to use more than two tools, for example for attaching long retaining arrangements .

  • the two symmetrical parts 30a, 30b extend in each case with a spacer part 33 which, at its end directed away from the axle pin 31, is connected to a tool hook 34.
  • the tool hooks 34 are generally U-shaped and each have an inwardly directed claw 35.
  • the two symmetrical parts also each have interacting clamp members 36 facing one another.
  • a tool 30 is mounted on the respective accessory of the intended type by means of the axle pin 31 of the respective tool being driven into the recess when the tool assumes a generally perpendicular position with respect to the accessory.
  • the tool is then turned through 45° in the clockwise direction in the figure, so that the engagement of the axle pin 31 with the recess keeps the tool on the accessory.
  • the retaining device 7 is thereafter brought into engagement with engagement parts 9 of the accessories, as has been described above.
  • the tool 30 is then turned farther through 45° in the clockwise direction so that the two ends of the retaining device 7 are brought into engagement with the two hooks 34 of the respective tool 30.

  • the two clamping members 36 of the respective tool clamp round the divider wall 14 or a corresponding surface of the accessory.
  • the elasticity of the tools is such that the tools with the retaining devices are clamped securely in this position.
  • the front engagement members 6 of the accessories can be brought into engagement with the front fixing device 2 of the shelf, and the rear portions of the accessories, with tools and retaining device 7, can be moved down toward the shelf such that the retaining device can be pressed securely onto the shelf and is fixed with the double- sided tape or screwed, riveted, glued or otherwise fixed on the shelf.
  • This embodiment of the tool and the assembly method has the advantage that one and the same tool can be used, without special adaptation, to mount retaining devices for all types of accessories. This is because it is the accessory type itself that is used to define the distance from the front edge of the shelf on which the retaining device is to be fixed.
