Abstract

Model " Plan in iron wire interlocking " is for producer of plans in iron wire, so that they can make plans in iron wire that are assembled using the interlocking panels or other vertical structures equipped with specific locations.

The working method, comparing the technique currently used, the following differences:
➢ Cutting sheet metal, suitably shaped (called plates), which constitute the horizontal structure of the plan;
➢ Solder the wires to the plates;
➢ Cutting suitably shaped sheet metal which constitutes the fixing system of the plan to the vertical support (shelf);
➢ Assembled by iron wire plan to the shelf;
➢ Application of clips out stop buttons.

Description

The solution proposed in the present utility model allows the realization of plans in iron wire by means of a simplified manufacturing process. This utility model is addressed to the field of production plans made of iron wire.
The solution proposed in the present utility model allows the realization of plans in iron wire which is obtained of joining the plan to the two side supports. These are join on the wall units.
There are currently on the market plan in iron wire, which are realized as shown in Fig. I.
To realize the structure of the top wire (Fig. I (A)), must follow the following phases:

1) Cutting sheet metal with a rectangular shape which support (flat) for the wire (sizes vary depending on the characteristics - size and mechanical strength desired);
2) Cutting the wire (sizes vary according to the size of the plan to be implemented);
3) Assembly by spot welding the wires to the plates constituted by plates made in step 1.

Once built the structure of the top wire (Fig. I (A)), you must perform the following steps to anchor the plane to the vertical structure:

4) Cut the sheet, which will be the system of intermediate coupling between the top wire and the bracket (Fig. I (B));
5) Fold the sheet (Fig. II).
6) Welding of steel wire in the plane (Fig. III);
7) Possible cleaning at the points of welding;
8) Cutting the sheet metal (suitably shaped) that will constitute the fixing system of the top piece of wire (shelf) to the vertical support;
9) Assemble the shelf with the top wire (specific docking systems such as screws).

It is emphasized that the shelf, having the function of coupling with the movable wall, must be suitably shaped to allow:

➢ the fixing of the top wire;
➢ the fixing of the plan to the the vertical wall equipped.

Eventually you will get a product ready to be installed on wall systems currently available on the market (Fig. IV).
They consist of vertical axes (Fig. IV (A)) suitably perforated to allow the interlocking of the horizontal planes (Fig. V (A)).
Currently analyzing what is present on the market and in relation to the growing need on the part of manufacturers to optimize cost and production time, it is making a continuous searc for processes that allow to improve business performance.
Through the use utility model "Plan in iron wire interlocking " you can make the plans of iron wire through the reduction of the phases of manufacturing process and reducing the amount of raw materials, with a net cost savings and reduction of processing times.
The plans achievable may have the most varied shapes and dimension and can be achieved through the use of wires and plates of different characteristics in function of the required strength.
The utility model "Plan in iron wire interlocking" allows the realization of horizontal planes having the same features than those in iron wire at the time available on the market, using a work cycle simplified.
The structure of the plan in iron wire (Fig. VI) is obtained by:

1. Cutting sheet metal forming the flat, the horizontal structure of the plan, properly shaped (sizes vary depending on the characteristics - size and mechanical strength desired) (Fig VI (B));
2. Cut the wire (sizes vary according to the size of the plan to be implemented);
3. Assembly by spot welding the wires to the flat made in step 1 (Fig VI).

As indicated in step 1, the plates that make up the flat must be cut by suitably shaping as shown in detail in Figure VII A and Figure VII B.
The left side of the sheet has the shape illustrated in Figure VII A:

➢ The letter A shows the shape to be obtained by cutting;
➢ The letter B illustrates the points in correspondence of which will be welded iron wires.

The right side of the sheet has the shape illustrated in Figure VII B:

Following the construction of the structure of the top wire (Fig. VI), in order to fix the plane to the vertical structure, you must do the following:

4. Cutting the sheet metal that will form the fastening system of the plane in wire to the vertical support (shelf) (Fig. VIII);
5. Assembling the bracket with the top wire.

Also in designing the shelf, which must be made as illustrated in Figure VIII. Account must be taken of the following details:

➢ Template for the frame of the top piece of wire (Fig VIII (A)) whose detail is shown in Figure VIII;
➢ Template for safety lock of the plane (Fig. VIII (B));
➢ Hole for painting step (Fig. VIII (C));
➢ Holes for fastening the clips out stop button (Fig. VIII (D));
➢ Pins for fixing the floor to the vertical wall system (Fig. VIII (E)).

Once the shelf assembly is passed between the top wire and the mounting plate through three phases:

1. Insertion of the structure of the plane in iron wire in the shelf in correspondence with the specific holes (Fig. X). The detail is shown in Figure XI;
2. Interlocking of the plane of wire by the application of manual force (Fig. XII). The detail is shown in Figure XIII;
3. Application of the buttons clips (Fig. XIV) pull-out stop in correspondence with the specific seats (Fig. XV (B)).

These operations must be carried out on both sides of the iron wire.
You have a product ready to be installed on wall systems currently available on the market (Fig. IV).
These walls are constituted by vertical axes (Fig. IV (A)), which are suitably perforated to allow the interlocking of the horizontal planes. (Fig. V (A)).
Compared to the technique of realization of plan in iron wire at the time used, the present utility model allows to obtain plans in iron wire having the same characteristics in terms of performance but with the following advantages:

➢ Implementation of the plan through a more simplified procedure that avoids the following phases:
- ○ or no longer have the intermediate support (Fig. I (B)) which allows the fixing of the structure of the plane in wire to the bracket;
- ○ or not you should make the system folders intermediate coupling (Fig. II (A));
- ○ or not you have the seals that allowed the assembly of the structure plan in wire to an intermediate fastening system (Fig. III). We had to make two welds per sheet forming the structure of the top wire (one for each side);
- ○ or not you have to do any cleaning at the points of welding;
➢ The top wire obtained guarantees the tightness of the coupling device and therefore the safety of users, by:
- ○ Locking or security: the iron wire on the front of the plane snaps in the specific location;
- ○ Presence of buttons or clips on both sides which prevent the plan to disengage from specific locations (block of the mechanical type.

The product obtained by application of the utility model "Plan of iron wire interlocking" allows to companies that make the realization of articles of iron wire, the working of plane in wire interlocking used for the realization of exhibitors by means of a working cycle simplified.
The plan in iron wire interlocking obtained can be used in commercial field for the realization of exhibitors, in the industrial field for the realization of shelves for use in offices, local exposure, etc..
An example of a exposure produced by use of the "plan in iron wire interlocking" is shown in Fig XVI. The exhibitor illustrated has a structure fixed to the ground (Fig. XVI (A)) and having the vertical uprights fitted with specific holes for the interlocking of the plan (Fig. XVI (B)). In this case, steps were taken to the assembly of two plan made by means of the utility model "Plan of iron wire snap" (Fig. XVI (C)).
