Definitions

  • the object of the invention is a display rack.
  • the invention has applications in commerce, in particular for the presentation of goods.
  • Display racks made of cardboard are known in the current state of the art; for example, GB1463899 describes a display rack characterised in that it consists of a supporting body made of cardboard or similar relatively rigid board-shaped material, consisting of two opposite, substantially parallel side plates shaped as isosceles triangles, which in use stand on their base lines, and two opposite rectangular side plates connect the side edges of the triangular side plates, each of the rectangular side plates having a shelf-like body made of plastic film and having indentations that constitute shelves for receiving articles for sale, and the two triangular side plates have fold lines extending along the perpendicular to the base line.
  • KR20130058833 discloses a steel display rack for quick and safe assembly consisting of a left side plate forming the left plate; a right side plate forming the right plate; a back plate placed between the left side plate and the right side plate; shelves placed on the back plate; and a latch placed on the lower end of the right and left plates.
  • folded parts are formed on the edges between the parts.
  • US20060118502 discloses an inexpensive and easy-to-assemble merchandise display system.
  • the system includes at least one longitudinal wall having front and rear edges and containing multiple notches extending from the front edge to the wall, and at least one shelf having front and rear edges and containing multiple notches extending from the rear edge to the shelf.
  • the wall and shelf slits are configured to be interlocked so that the shelf and wall can be selectively coupled by interlocking the shelf slot and the wall slot to form a skeletal structure that defines uniform or non-uniform areas as required.
  • the gist of the invention is a display rack comprising a skeletal structure made of metal, provided with vertical support columns and connecting crosspieces, the vertical support columns being provided with shelf mounting sockets, the shelves being made of metal, provided with mounting brackets adapted for insertion into the shelf mounting sockets.
  • the rack is characterised by the fact that the metal skeletal structure is covered by an outer cover made of a material suitable for coating by printing methods, provided with mounting protrusions and pass-through notches at locations corresponding to the shelf mounting sockets.
  • the metal skeletal structure is provided with additional mounting sockets, configured to receive the mounting protrusions of the outer cover.
  • the rack is characterised in that the skeletal structure is made of steel or aluminium.
  • the rack is characterised in that the skeletal structure is covered with a protective coating applied by varnishing techniques.
  • the rack is characterised in that the skeletal structure is covered with a protective coating applied by electroplating techniques.
  • The, rack according to the invention is characterised in that the cover is made of cardboard or paper board, suitable for printing.
  • the rack is characterised in that it is also provided with covers for the fronts of the shelves, made of cellulose material.
  • the rack is characterised in that that the covers of the front surfaces of the shelves are made of cardboard or paper board, suitable for printing.
  • the rack is characterised in that in the top view its outline has a rectangular shape with dimensions selected from the group consisting of the following dimensions: 1200 mm x 800 mm, 600 mm x 800 mm, 400 mm x 800 mm, 600 mm x 400 mm, 400 mm x 400 mm, 300 mm x 400 mm.
  • the display rack facilitates the presentation of products with considerable weight, for which all-cardboard constructions did not have sufficient strength, while at the same time retaining external surfaces on which prints can be applied with high-quality printing techniques due to the ability of cardboard or cellulose materials in general to absorb ink.
  • Another advantage is that the outer cover can be replaced independently of the supporting skeletal structure. This reduces the use of cardboard and plant-based materials.
  • Fig. 1 shows the skeletal structure 10 of a display rack according to a preferred embodiment.
  • the skeletal structure is built of metal sections preferably made of steel, with a square or rectangular cross-section.
  • the skeletal structure is provided with four support columns 11, 12, 13, 14, which are connected by three crosspieces 15, 16, 17 in the upper part, and at the base are connected by four crosspieces 15', 16', 17', 18'.
  • Support columns and crosspieces are preferably made of a section with the same cross section and material, which facilitates their connection.
  • the skeletal structure elements can be connected permanently, for example by welded joints, but they can also be detachable, for example by connected bolted, riveted, or press-fit connections.
  • Vertical columns 11, 12, 13, 14 are provided with sockets 19 for receiving shelves, and these sockets can be standard shelf mounting sockets traditionally used in store shelving, preferably they are sockets in the form of oval holes.
  • the sockets 19 for mounting shelves can be made on the inner side of the support columns, or preferably on the two opposite sides of the support columns of the inner and outer sides of the support columns, passing from the inside to the outside of the rack.
  • the top crosspieces 15, 16, 17 are provided with additional mounting sockets 20, configured for attaching the cardboard outer cover 30.
  • the additional mounting sockets 20 can be located in any of the walls of the top crosspieces 15, 16, 17, 18, preferably in the lower wall of the top crosspieces, and take the form of a longitudinal slit configured to receive the protrusion of the cardboard outer cover.
  • Fig. 2 shows an outer cover 30 of a display rack according to a preferred embodiment.
  • the outer cover 30 is provided with a left part 31, 32 consisting of an inner wing 31 and a left outer wall 32, a right part 34, 35 provided with an inner wing 35 and a right outer wall 34, and a back 33 that connects the left part 31, 32 with the right part 34, 35.
  • the left inner wing 31 and the right inner wing 35 are provided with a set of pass-through notches in locations corresponding to the shelf mounting sockets 40 in the columns 11, 12, 14, 14 of the skeletal structure 10.
  • the left outer wall 32, the back 33 and the right outer wall 34 are provided with flaps 37.
  • the flaps 37 are configured so that when the outer cover 30 is put on the skeletal structure 10, the flaps 37 cover the upper crossbars 15, 16, 17 of the skeletal structure 10 from above.
  • the outer cover 30 is also provided with mounting protrusions 38 and additional pass-through notches 39 located where additional mounting sockets 20 are placed in the skeletal structure.
  • the outer cover 30 is preferably made of a single sheet of cardboard, and its individual elements are separated by cardboard creasing to facilitate bending of the cover in designated places.
  • the outer cover can be made of multiple sheets joined together.
  • Figs. 3 and 4 show the display rack 1 during the process of wrapping the skeletal structure 10 with the outer cover 30.
  • the outer cover 30 wraps the skeletal structure 10 of the rack 1 from the outside so that the inner left wing 31 is inside rack 1 and the through pass-through notches 36 are at the height of the mounting sockets 19.
  • the skeletal structure 10 can be equipped with mounting slits 20 located in the upper crosspieces 15, 16, 17, with which the pass-through notches 21 located in the flaps 37 of the cover 30 interlock.
  • the flaps 37 wrap from the top around the upper crosspieces of the skeletal structure 10.
  • the mounting slits are configured to receive an additional display element 25 provided with inserts 24 which are inserted from above through the pass-through notches 21 into the mounting slits 20 in the skeletal structure 10.
  • the left inner wings 31 and the right inner wings 35 are provided with protrusions 22 configured to be inserted between the skeletal structure columns 10 and the back wall 33 of the outer cover 30, which protrusions 22 stabilise the position of the inner wings 31 and 35 inside the rack 1.
