Definitions

This invention relates to a flat-element structure which can be variously built-up by fitting together its component elements by means of forced insertion, which is made possible by the slight deformation to which the parts concerned are subjected during their fitting.
Said elements when assembled provide a sort of shelving which can be used in the most diverse ways, for example for housing objects or materials, tools, products or others, for example bottles or trays.
the shelving obtained in this manner can be of fixed type, or alternatively of trolley-mounted type by simply providing it with normal castors.
the shelving of the invention has the merit of being able to be assembled without the aid of bolts and their relative spanner or tool, and can thus be assembled by anybody, including persons of little skill.
the structure of the invention is of minimum bulk, which makes it extremely simple to package, store and transport.
the proposed structure is in the form of a series of electrically welded mesh panels of rectangular shape and of any dimensions, and of which the apertures and the diameters of the component rods depend on the use to which the invention is to be put.
the structure of the invention comprises two panels acting as uprights or shoulders with their vertical edges bent at a right angle, and at least two panels acting as shelves, the side edges of which are designed to abut against the uprights by lying within the right-angle bent vertical edges of these latter, and to rest on an internal horizontal rod of said uprights.
front and rear edges of said panels which act as shelves are bent double at right angles about themselves in order to provide, at their opposing ends, respective pairs of elastically deformable projecting forks, which can be forcibly inserted between the flat portions of the uprights and the end rods of the right-angle bends of these latter.
the distance between the horizontal rods of the shoulders is such as to allow the insertion of the shelves when these latter are in an inclined position, so that before being fitted-in they lie between the bends of said shoulders.
a structure of this type even if it comprises only the two shoulders and two shelves, namely an upper and a lower one, is very stable and particularly rigid, even with relatively large mesh apertures and relatively small rod diameters.
all these panels are constituted by electrically welded mesh sheets with apertures of convenient dimensions and/or shape, and which can obviously be different from those shown.
the constituent metal rods can also be of any diameter suitable for the purpose, ie for the use to which the invention is to be put, and in accordance with the loads which it has to support.
Each upright or shoulder 1 comprises a series of vertical rods and a series of horizontal rods, these latter being disposed on that face of the panel which faces the structure.
the vertical edges of the shoulder 1, or rather the respective horizontal rods, are bent inwards at 10 so that the corresponding panel 1 assumes a channel configuration of small depth.
each bend 10 comprises an end rod 11.
each shelf panel 2 is designed to abut against the inner faces of the shoulders 1, more precisely against the vertical rods of these latter, whereas its front and rear edges 20 are doubly bent at right angles about themselves, namely downwards and then towards the inactive surface.
Said double bend 20 provides a succession of hooks or types of projecting forks, the two opposing pairs of which each have an overall width which is slightly greater than the distance between the rod 11 and the inner generating lines of the vertical rods of the upright 1 ( Figure 3).
said double bend 20 terminates with a longitudinal end rod 21 which lies directly under the last rod 22 of the flat portion of the shelf 2.
the distance between the outer generating lines of the rods 21, 22 of the front bend 20 and the corresponding outer generating lines of the rear bend 20 is slightly greater than the distance between the generating lines of the respective two rods 11 of the shoulders 1 ( Figure 2).
the spacing between the horizontal rods of these latter (Figure 2) is such as to enable a shelf 2 to be disposed in an inclined position as shown in Figure 2 between the two shoulders 1 and between the two corresponding opposing pairs of horizontal rods thereof, after which the two opposing pairs of forks of one of its longitudinal edges is forcibly inserted into the corresponding apertures defined by the rods 11, following which it is forced downwards so that it engages with the remaining two rods 11.
the invention can be trolley-mounted, for example by using normal castors, so that it can be used as a tool carrier, equipment carrier or as a mobile bar.
This structure is also suitable for supporting trays, in which case shelves 2 are provided comprising only an outer rim, on which the perimetral projecting edges of said trays are rested.
