Definitions

  • the present invention generally finds application in the civil or industrial furniture industry and particularly relates to a reinforced metallic shelf for modular shelves structures.
  • Modular metallic shelves either of light-duty type for home and office use or of heavy-duty type for industrial warehouses, are known to comprise a plurality of vertical posts, with one or more shelves fixed thereto.
  • Shelves have a substantially horizontal bearing surface with folded peripheral edges having means for anchorage to the posts, which may be of either screw-and-nut or interlock type.
  • Shelves are anchored to the posts at the corners, such that, when assembled, the individual shelves act as fixed beams at both ends.
  • Any load laid on the bearing plate causes a substantially central bending stress or deflection, which consequently deforms the shelf and, if the maximum design load is exceeded, it may even lead to a plastic deformation of the material or even failure.
  • the folded edge is often deformed at the central areas of the longer sections, thereby leading to bending that not only affects aesthetic quality but also reduces the load capacity and may initiate a stress crack.
  • US2010/0077781 discloses a refrigerator case shelf having a top wall with twice folded peripheral edges all provided with outer vertical walls and intermediate horizontal walls.
  • a reinforcement member having a lower portion, stepped symmetrical portions and lateral wing portions is attached to the lower side of the top wall.
  • NL7204417 discloses a metal plate shelf having a top wall and one reinforcement member with an ⁇ -shaped cross section secured to the lower side of the top wall and having a lower wall attached to the lower side of the top wall.
  • the object of the present invention is to overcome the above drawbacks, by providing a reinforced metallic shelf for modular shelves structures, that ensures high strength and relative cost effectiveness.
  • a particular object is to provide a reinforced metallic shelf for modular shelves structures that has an increased load capacity as compared with prior art shelves having the same length.
  • Another object is to provide a metallic reinforced shelf for modular shelves structures that avoids edge deformation and prevents aesthetic quality degradation.
  • This particular configuration will increase the load capacity of the shelf and particularly prevent the longitudinal sections of the edge from bending and deforming at the center line.
  • a shelf of the invention generally designated by numeral 1
  • a shelf of the invention will be used in a known modular shelves structure, not shown herein, in addition to one or more similar and/or traditional shelves.
  • the shelves structure is preferably a light metal structure intended for home or office use.
  • the shelves structure S comprises at least four substantially vertical posts 1, 1', 1", not all of which are necessarily formed according to the present invention, which are anchored at their corner areas to the posts M, in a substantially horizontal position, and in vertically offset relationship.
  • a shelf 1 of the invention comprises a main support plate 2 having an upper surface 3 and a lower surface 4 which are substantially planar and parallel, and an inwardly folded peripheral edge 5 having a pair of longitudinal sections 6', 6" substantially parallel and mutually joined by a pair of opposed transverse sections 7', 7", also parallel to each other and orthogonal to the longitudinal sections 6', 6".
  • the longitudinal sections 6', 6" are substantially similar, and the transverse sections 7', 7" are also substantially similar. Therefore, for simplicity, both the longitudinal sections and the transverse sections, and their parts, will be designated by the corresponding number without the superscript index.
  • the shelf 1 comprises at least one substantially transverse reinforcement member, which is adapted to be stably or removably associated to the lower surface 4 of the support plate 2.
  • the reinforcement member 8 is placed in a substantially central position with respect to the support plate 2, although further configurations may be provided, with multiple reinforcement members associated with the lower surface 4 in offset positions.
  • the reinforcement member 8 has a length z substantially equal to or smaller than the width w of the support plate 2, allowing it to be anchored at both opposite ends 9', 9" to the longitudinal sections 6 of the edge 5.
  • each longitudinal section 6 of the folded edge 5 may have an outer vertical wall 10 substantially perpendicular to the main support plate 2, and an inner vertical wall 11, which are parallel and transversely offset.
  • the inner wall 11 is preferably shorter than the outer wall 10 and joined thereto by a substantially horizontal wall 12, i.e. a wall substantially perpendicular to the other two.
  • the outer wall 10 may have one or more holes 13 and/or slots 14 at the corner portions of the edge 5, which are adapted to be aligned with corresponding holes F and/or slots formed in the posts M, allowing the shelves structure S to be assembled using appropriate screw connection members V or the like.
  • both transverse sections 7 of the edge 5 may be formed substantially like the longitudinal sections 6 with respective holes 15 and/or slots 16, for allowing connection with the posts M.
  • screw connection members V may be replaced by interlock means or the like, in typical modular shelving configurations.
  • the substantially horizontal wall 12 of each longitudinal section 6 is equipped with anchor means 17 for removable anchorage of the reinforcement member 8 to the support plate 2.
  • the anchor means 17 are of the screw coupling type or the like, comprising at least one through hole 18 formed in each of the horizontal walls 12 of the longitudinal sections 6 and are adapted to be aligned with corresponding through or blind seats 19 formed at the ends 9', 9" of the reinforcement member 8.
  • the reinforcement member 8 may be held in forced contact with the lower surface 4 of the support plate 2, as shown in Fig. 4 and, in greater detail, in Fig. 5 , thereby enhancing the reinforcing effect.
  • the anchor means may be of a type that does not involve screw coupling, e.g. interlock or interference-fit means.
  • Fig. 6 shows that the inner vertical wall 11 of each longitudinal section 6 has a substantially central recess 21, for receiving a respective end 9', 9" of the reinforcement member 8 and retaining it in the longitudinal direction as well as in a direction orthogonal to the support plate 2.
  • the reinforcement member 8 is a metal section bar having an upper surface 22 adapted to contact the inner surface 4 of the support plate 2 and a lower face 23 adapted to contact the substantially horizontal wall 12 of the longitudinal sections 6.
  • undercuts 21 will allow the reinforcement member 8 to be positioned with its lower face 23 abutting the horizontal walls 12 of the longitudinal sections 6.
  • the longitudinal sections 6 will be reinforced particularly at the points in which buckles or plastic deformations occur in prior art shelves.
  • the reinforcement member 8 substantially has a box-like shape, with a substantially ⁇ -shaped cross section, having lateral wings 24, 25 designed for abutment against the lower surface 4 of the support plate 2.
  • This arrangement was found to be particularly effective in that the presence of the wings 24, 25 increases the contact surface between the reinforcement member 8 and the support plate 2, thereby increasing the resistance opposed by the reinforcement member 8 and hence the load capacity of the shelf 1.
  • the reinforcement member 8 is particularly light and free of any risk of sticking or deflection of its side walls.
  • the reinforcement member 8 will have a substantially constant height h, close to the minimum distance d, which is also constant, all along its length z, between the upper free margin 26 of the inner vertical wall 11 of the longitudinal sections 6 and the inner surface 4 of the support plate 2.
  • the longitudinal sections 6 will act as guides for sliding insertion of the reinforcement member 8 to the conveniently arranged position.
  • the reinforcement member 8 may be placed against the lower surface 4 of the support plate 2, with the ends 9', 9" being subsequently inserted into the guides defined by the longitudinal sections 6 to be slidingly carried to the undercuts 21, with the seats 19 being aligned with the holes 18 on the edge 5.
  • the dimensions of the shelf may be selected as needed, with no particular limitation.
  • the shelf may have a length 1 ranging from 50 cm to 150 cm and a width w ranging from 30 cm to 80 cm.
  • the plan size of the shelf may be 90cmx40cm or 90cmx60cm.
