Definitions

  • This invention relates to a load support arrangement and is particularly, though not exclusively, applicable to shelf storage systems based on a cantilever support.
  • the first system has the disadvantage of only relatively small numbers of adjustment positions while the latter system has the disadvantage of requiring the use of relatively strong clamps to avoid any slipping of the cantilever arm or in requiring set screw- like arrangements, whereby slipping is prevented by the fact that the screw makes a dent into the vertical support.
  • the security of the cantilever arm depends upon the tightness of the clamp or screw and the weight of the load which is placed thereon.
  • the present invention seeks to provide a load support arrangement which provides an infinitely adjustable support arrangement which is of high security but at the same time is nevertheless adapted to the economic needs of lighter storage.
  • a support arrangement comprises an upright having a pair oppositely extending flanges along its longitudinal length, a pair of elongate elements connected together to form a cantilever arm and provided with recesses engageable with the flanges on opposite sides of the upright and means for advancing the recesses towards each other such that the upright is gripped between the two elements, the recesses being shaped to bite into the flanges of the upright when the recesses are advanced towards each other, and means for engagement with the upright so as to cause the cantilever arm to take up an approximately horizontal position when assembled.
  • the recesses have a substantially "V"-shape, the width of the "V” at the open end being larger than the thickness of the flange of the upright and the thickness of the "V” at its other end being less than the thickness of the flange, whereby a biting action of the recess on the flanges of the upright is achieved when the recesses are advanced towards each other.
  • the means for holding the cantilever arm approximately horizontal may comprise a second pair of recesses, one recess on each element, which engage the flanges of the upright at a spacing from the first recesses.
  • the second recesses may, if desired, be also of a shape to bite into the flange, but this is not essential.
  • the upright comprises an "I" beam, the flanges of which are provided for attachment of the cantilever arm.
  • the cantilever arm suitably comprises a pair of U-section longitudinal elements connected together at one end and being provided at the other end with a pair of U-shaped brackets, the arms of the brackets being cut to form a pair of V-shaped recesses and the brackets being orientated so that the recesses engage the flanges of the "I" beam.
  • the U-shaped elements are suitably connected, adjacent the recess carrying elements, by means of a nut and bolt arrangement whereby the spacing between the elements can be reduced to advance recesses on to the flanges of the upright so that they bite into the upright and provide a high security for the cantilever arm.
  • FIG. 1 there is shown a perspective view of a load arrangement in accordance with the invention.
  • This comprises an "I” section upright 1 which is supported on a base member, which may be a similar "I” beam extending horizontally at the bottom of the beam 1 and not shown here.
  • a steel cantilever arm 3 is supported on this "I" section upright 1 (suitably a rolled steel beam) by means of the two flanges 4 and 5 which are adjacent to each other and provide guide elements for the cantilever arm 3.
  • the cantilever arm 3 suitably comprises two arm elements 7 and 8 which, as shown, are of channel form or "U"-shaped in cross-section. These arm elements 7 and 8 are connected together at one end by a nut and bolt arrangement 10.
  • each arm element 7 or 8 is provided with a pair of U-shaped bracket members 11 and 12, each of which is suitably welded to its associated arm element 7 or 8.
  • these U-shaped bracket members 11 . , 12 have a rectangular base portion 14 and two upstanding substantially triangular members 15 and 16. The centre or apex portions of these triangles have a V-shaped recess 18 therein into each of which a flange 4 or 5 is to seat. ( Figure 2).
  • the two arm elements 7 and 8 are connected together at their upright end by means of a nut and bolt arrangement 20.
  • the dimensions of the V-shaped recesses 18 are such that they have wider mouths than the width of the appropriate flange 4 or 5 but they narrow as they proceed inwardly to a dimension in which they are narrower than the width of the flange 4 or 5.
  • the sides of each V-shaped recesses 18 will bite into a flange 4 or 5 and thus secure the arm 3 in place.
  • V-shaped slots may be replaced by a rectangular slot or even by an appropriately located edge, one V-shape slot being sufficient for securing the arm to the upright in most cases, the other slot or surface being required purely to maintain the orientation of the arm in a substantially horizontal position and also to provide initial location of the arm on the upright before tightening procedures have been carried out.
  • a V-shaped slot has been proposed, it is not essential that the base of the V be pointed providing that suit- able slanting of the sides is achieved. In certain circumstances, this slanting of the sides could be used even with a curve rather than straight edge to the "V".
  • brackets While the brackets have been indicated as being welded to the arm elements, they may of course be fixed by other means such as nuts and bolts or rivets.
  • the sloping slides of the brackets 11 and 12 adjacent to the "V"-shape slot 18 are not essential and could be replaced by straight edges parallel to the elements 7 and 8.
  • Alternatively other configurations can be used to provide the V-shaped slot in the appropriate position.
  • the invention is not limited to use with an "I" beam upright, the only requirement being that the upright has suitable parallel flanges extending on opposite sides thereof.
  • a "T" shaped beam could be used.
  • the arm elements 7 and 8 while shown of U-shaped construction, could be of any other suitable form desired, for example "L"-shaped or tubular.
  • the securing of the elements 7 and 8 at their free ends could be achieved, instead of by means of the nut and bolt 10, by means of a hinge arrangement so that assembly of the beam on the upright is somewhat simplified.
  • the material is proposed for the construction, have been described as been steel, any other suitable material could be used, provided that the dimensions and the relative hardnesses of the materials of the upright support and the U-shaped elements 11 and 12.
  • the U-shaped members 11 and 12 are made of a material that is relatively thin in relation to to the thickness of the flanges-4 and 5 of the "I" beam, and that is also harder than the material of the "I" beam in order to enable the appropriate biting action to take place.
