Description
La présente invention concerne les rayonnages comprenant au moins une tablette supportée par des éléments de soutien tels que des montants et des traverses, et destinés à être adaptés contre une paroi telle qu'une paroi de bâtiment ou une paroi de véhicule utilitaire.The present invention relates to shelving comprising at minus a shelf supported by support elements such as uprights and crosspieces, and intended to be fitted against a wall such as a building wall or a commercial vehicle wall.
Le document FR-A-2 578 298 décrit un rayonnage à tablettes rectangulaires supportées aux quatre coins par des montants empilables bout à bout. Un même montant peut tenir deux tablettes successives dans un même plan. On constitue ainsi un meuble de rangement formé de modules parallélépipédiques juxtaposés en hauteur et en longueur.Document FR-A-2 578 298 describes shelving with shelves rectangular supported at the four corners by stackable uprights end to end. The same amount can hold two successive shelves in one same plan. This constitutes a storage unit formed of modules parallelepipedic juxtaposed in height and length.
Le document US-A-4 428 304 décrit un rayonnage composé de tablettes tenues dans un bâti parallélépipédique formé de montants latéraux, de longerons latéraux et de traverses postérieures. Chaque tablette est réglable en profondeur, formée d'un assemblage téléscopique de plusieurs panneaux à section en U coulissant les uns dans les autres dans le sens de la profondeur du rayonnage, pour occuper tout ou partie de la surface de chaque étage entre les montants.Document US-A-4 428 304 describes a rack made up of shelves held in a rectangular frame formed of uprights side, side rails and rear crosspieces. Each shelf is adjustable in depth, formed by a telescopic assembly of several U-shaped panels sliding one inside the other in the direction of the shelving depth, to occupy all or part of the surface of each floor between the uprights.
Le document FR-A-2 683 128 décrit un meuble de rangement à bâti parallélépipédique avec des montants latéraux, longerons et traverses, tenant des tablettes. Les longerons et tablettes sont simultanément réglables en profondeur, pour régler globalement la profondeur du meuble.Document FR-A-2 683 128 describes a storage cabinet with frame parallelepiped with lateral uprights, side members and crosspieces, holding tablets. The beams and shelves are simultaneously adjustable in depth, to globally adjust the depth of the cabinet.
Dans toutes ces structures connues, les tablettes sont contenues à l'intérieur d'un bâti parallélépipédique, et les tranches postérieures des tablettes sont situées dans le plan vertical des montants postérieurs.In all these known structures, the tablets are contained inside a parallelepiped frame, and the posterior sections shelves are located in the vertical plane of the rear uprights.
Ces structures de rayonnages conviennent bien pour une adaptation contre une paroi plane verticale, puisqu'on peut alors appliquer toutes les tranches postérieures de tablettes contre la paroi.These shelving structures are well suited for a adaptation against a vertical plane wall, since we can then apply all posterior slices of shelves against the wall.
Mais ces structures ne conviennent pas lorsque la paroi n'est pas plane, présentant soit une ou plusieurs courbures dans le plan horizontal et/ou une ou plusieurs courbures dans le plan vertical. En effet, il n'est alors pas possible de faire plaquer la totalité des tranches postérieures de tablettes contre la paroi, de sorte qu'il existe un vide entre certaines portions de tablettes et la paroi postérieure, vide par lequel les objets posés sur la tablette peuvent tomber. Cela conduit également à réduire la surface disponible des tablettes, ou à ne pas utiliser toute la surface possible de rangement entre la tranche antérieure des tablettes et la paroi contre laquelle est disposé le rayonnage.But these structures are not suitable when the wall is not not planar, having either one or more curvatures in the plane horizontal and / or one or more curvatures in the vertical plane. In indeed, it is not possible to have all of the posterior slices of shelves against the wall, so that there a void between certain portions of shelves and the rear wall, vacuum through which objects placed on the tablet can fall. That also leads to reducing the available surface of the shelves, or to not use all possible storage space between the edge front of the shelves and the wall against which the shelving.
Le problème se pose en particulier pour l'adaptation de rayonnages dans les véhicules utilitaires, car la forme de la carrosserie est rarement plane et verticale.The problem arises in particular for the adaptation of shelving in commercial vehicles because the shape of the bodywork is rarely flat and vertical.
La présente invention a pour but de prévoir un rayonnage modulaire dont la structure permet une adaptation rapide et peu onéreuse à toute forme de paroi postérieure, sans qu'il soit besoin d'usiner les tablettes et/ou les montants.The object of the present invention is to provide shelving modular whose structure allows rapid and inexpensive adaptation to any form of rear wall, without the need to machine the shelves and / or uprights.
La structure de rayonnage doit simultanément présenter les propriétés de résistance mécanique appropriées pour l'utilisation envisagée.The shelving structure must simultaneously present the mechanical strength properties suitable for use considered.
Pour atteindre ces buts ainsi que d'autres, un rayonnage modulaire selon l'invention comprend au moins une tablette réglable en profondeur et supportée par des éléments de soutien tels que des montants et des traverses ; la tablette est composée d'un assemblage modulaire d'éléments de tablette disposés côte à côte dans le sens de la longueur de la tablette et comportant chacun des moyens de réglage en profondeur indépendants ; les éléments de tablette peuvent dépasser en porte à faux vers l'arrière du rayonnage au-delà des montants et de la traverse postérieure qui les soutient.To achieve these and other goals, shelving modular according to the invention comprises at least one adjustable shelf in depth and supported by supporting elements such as uprights and sleepers; the shelf is made up of a modular assembly shelf elements arranged side by side lengthwise the tablet and each comprising depth adjustment means independent; shelf elements may protrude overhang towards the rear of the shelving beyond the uprights and the cross-member posterior which supports them.
Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, chaque élément de tablette comprend un corps principal antérieur dans lequel coulisse une rallonge postérieure dans le sens de la profondeur de l'élément de tablette.According to a preferred embodiment, each shelf element includes an anterior main body into which an extension slides posterior in the direction of the depth of the shelf element.
De préférence, le corps principal est un boítier parallélépipédique plat, fermé selon sa tranche antérieure pour constituer la tranche antérieure apparente de la tablette, fermé sur les côtés latéraux pour guider la rallonge en coulissement, et ouvert selon sa tranche postérieure pour permettre le dépassement réglable de la rallonge vers l'arrière de la tablette.Preferably, the main body is a housing flat parallelepiped, closed along its anterior edge to form the visible front edge of the shelf, closed on the sides lateral to guide the extension in sliding, and open according to its rear edge to allow adjustable extension of the extension towards the back of the tablet.
La rallonge peut par exemple être une planchette, de forme parallélépipédique plate dont la section est légèrement inférieure à celle du boítier de corps principal, pour coulisser à faible jeu dans le corps principal.The extension can for example be a board, of shape flat parallelepiped whose section is slightly smaller than that of the main body, to slide with little play in the body main.
Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, les éléments de soutien comprennent des montants d'extrémité reliés par au moins des traverses antérieures et des traverses postérieures, chaque corps principal antérieur d'élément de tablette étant supporté par une traverse antérieure, et par une traverse postérieure sur laquelle repose la portion postérieure du corps principal d'élément de tablette.According to a particular embodiment, the elements of support include end posts connected by at least anterior and posterior sleepers, each body main front of shelf element being supported by a cross member anterior, and by a posterior crosspiece on which the portion rests back of the main body of the shelf element.
Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux, les montants comprennent chacun un corps principal de montant dans lequel coulissent horizontalement des rallonges modulaires indépendantes disposées côte à côte dans la hauteur du montant, de façon à adapter la forme postérieure du montant à la forme de paroi d'un véhicule.According to an advantageous embodiment, the amounts each include a main upright body into which slide horizontally independent modular extensions arranged side by side side in the height of the upright, so as to adapt the posterior shape from the upright to the wall shape of a vehicle.

Dans le mode de réalisation illustré sur la figure 1, le
rayonnage modulaire selon l'invention comprend quatre tablettes 1, 2, 3 et
4, disposées chacune selon un plan sensiblement horizontal et décalées les
unes au-dessus des autres. Les tablettes sont supportées par des éléments
de soutien comprenant deux montants 5 et 6 verticaux reliés par des
traverses telles que les traverses antérieures 7, 8, 9 et 10 et la
traverse postérieure 11.In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1, the
modular shelving according to the invention comprises four
Chacune des tablettes 1, 2, 3 et 4, telle que par exemple la
tablette 2, est composée d'un assemblage modulaire d'éléments de tablette
12, 13, 14, 15, 16 et 17 disposés côte à côte dans le sens de la longueur
de la tablette et comportant chacun des moyens de réglage en profondeur
indépendants.Each of the
Comme on le voit mieux sur les figures 2 et 3, chaque élément de
tablette tel que l'élément 12 comprend un corps principal 18 dans lequel
coulisse une rallonge 19 dans le sens de la profondeur de l'élément de
tablette 12, comme illustré par les doubles flèches 20.As best seen in Figures 2 and 3, each element of
tablet such as the
Dans le mode de réalisation illustré, le corps principal 18 est
un boítier parallélépipédique plat, par exemple en tôle ou en tout autre
matériau en feuille pliée, à face supérieure plane, fermé sur sa tranche
antérieure 21 pour constituer la tranche antérieure apparente de l'élément
de tablette 12, fermé sur les côtés latéraux 22 et 23 pour guider la
rallonge 19 en coulissement, et ouvert selon sa tranche postérieure pour
permettre le déplacement réglable de la rallonge 19 vers l'arrière de
l'élément de tablette 12. La rallonge 19 peut être une planchette, par
exemple en bois ou en tout autre matériau approprié, de forme
parallélépipédique plate, à face supérieure plane, dont la section est
légèrement inférieure à celle du boítier de corps principal 18, pour
coulisser à faible jeu dans le corps principal 18.In the illustrated embodiment, the
Comme on le voit sur la figure 3, les côtés latéraux du corps
principal 18 tels que le côté 23 sont repliés pour former un retour
inférieur 24 ou 25, parallèle à la face supérieure 126 du corps principal
18, pour guider et soutenir la rallonge 19. Il est ainsi possible de
réaliser le corps principal 18 en tôle pliée.As seen in Figure 3, the lateral sides of the body
main 18 such as
Comme on le voit sur la figure 1, chaque tablette telle que la
tablette 2 est supportée par une traverse antérieure 8 sur laquelle repose
la portion antérieure ou une portion intérmédiaire des corps principaux
des éléments 12-17 de la tablette, et par une traverse postérieure 11 sur
laquelle repose la portion postérieure des corps principaux des éléments
12-17 de la tablette.As seen in Figure 1, each tablet such as the
Des éléments de fixation, tels que des vis 26, clous ou rivets,
traversent simultanément la traverse postérieure 11 et la paroi inférieure
24 ou 25 du corps principal 18, en pénétrant dans la rallonge 19.
L'élément de fixation assure la fixation de chaque élément de tablette 12
et le blocage de la rallonge 19.Fastening elements, such as
Comme illustré sur la figure 4 en vue de dessus, une tablette 2
peut-être disposée contre une paroi postérieure 27 présentant une courbure
dans le plan horizontal. La tablette 2 est disposée de façon que les corps
principaux tels que le corps principal 18 soient tous alignés, leurs
tranches 21 antérieures étant dans un même plan vertical, les tranches
postérieures restant à l'écart de la paroi postérieure 27. Chaque rallonge
des éléments de tablette 12-17, telle que la rallonge 19, est repoussée en
appui contre la paroi postérieure 27, puis bloquée en position par les
éléments de fixation 26 visibles sur la figure 1. Comme on le voit sur la
figure 1, chaque rallonge 19 peut dépasser en porte à faux vers l'arrière
du rayonnage au-delà des montants 5, 6 et de la traverse postérieure 11
qui soutient l'élément de rallonge 12 correspondant. Sur la figure 4, on
voit que la tablette 2 peut ainsi s'adapter à la forme courbe de la paroi
postérieure 27, dans le plan horizontal.As illustrated in Figure 4 in top view, a
De même, comme on le voit sur la figure 5 en vue de côté, le
rayonnage est disposé contre la paroi postérieure 27 qui présente
également une courbure dans le sens vertical. Toutes les tablettes sont
disposées de façon que leurs tranches antérieures soient dans un même plan
vertical. Les rallonges telles que la rallonge 19 sont coulissées jusqu'à
venir en appui contre la paroi postérieure 27, adaptant ainsi la
profondeur de tablette en fonction de la forme de la paroi postérieure 27.Similarly, as seen in Figure 5 in side view, the
shelving is disposed against the
Dans la réalisation illustrée sur la figure 1, les montants 5 et
6 sont des plaques métalliques percées de rangées verticales de trous 30,
31, 32 et/ou 33, pour la fixation réglable en hauteur des traverses
antérieures 7-10 et/ou postérieures 11. On peut ainsi régler l'inclinaison
antéro-postérieure de chaque tablette 1-4.In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1, the
