- ABSTRACT There is disclosed a filing rack for supporting bound volumes of loose-leaf sheets and the like in suspended condition on parallel supporting cross pieces which together with an array of hollow uprights define the rack structure.
- the rack is horizontally expandable in any direction to conform to virtually any space layout requirements.
- the rack is also provided with a specially constructed means for mounting a top structure such as a work shelf atop each of the various rack sections in a neat and convenient manner.
- This invention relates generally to free standing selfsupporting filing cabinets and racks for the storage and retrieval of bound volumes of printed information such as business records, computer print-out data sheets and other records susceptible to binding in individual volumes. More particularly, this invention relates to filing racks of the type in which bound volumes can be supported independently of each other in a cabinet or rack which permits the volumes to be individually removed by sliding each laterally out of the storage cabinet or rack.
- filing rack constructions of the type described are for the most part elaborate in construction, costly and relatively difficult to assemble. Also. such racks are commonly custom built to satisfy the existing layout and space requirements of a particular customer. Often such filing racks or cabinets are complexly assembled or they are heavy and bulky and do not admit of easy removal or relocation in the event that space and/or layout requirements should change. Moreover, many filing racks commonly in use have a fixed storage capacity and configuration and thus do not generally lend themselves to convenient expansion or reduction of existing capacity or to a change in configuration by the user without undertaking costly and time consuming replacement of the existing unit with a new one. The present invention was conceived in an effort to construct a filing rack which would overcome the drawbacks of existing filing rack or cabinet constructions.
- a filing rack constructed according to the teachings of the present invention includes an array of hollow uprights and a plurality of cross-pieces extending in a predetermined pattern between the uprights with the uprights and cross-pieces being connected together into a self-supporting unitary structure by male and female connection means.
- the array includes at least two spaced apart rows each having a plurality of spaced apart uprights with the uprights in each row being disposed opposite the uprights in a parallel row; the uprights of each row and the oppositely disposed uprights of parallel rows being interconnected at various vertical levels by the crosspieces extending perpendicularly to the uprights to form a series of open compartments.
- each cross-piece consists of a round rod with one end formed with male threads and the other end formed with female threads.
- the uprights in each row are tied together at each level to form the rack simply by consecutively connecting the female end of one rod to the male end of another rod inside one of the uprights; the meeting rod ends extending from opposite directions into the uprights through a pair of aligned holes formed in opposite sides of the upright.
- the meeting ends of adjoining rods are provided with shoulders which engage the exterior surface of the respective upright when the meeting ends are matingly joined.
- the tiling rack is further provided with a specially constructed means for mounting a top structure as, for example. a table top shelf or working surface.
- This means in construction. includes a plug member which may be press fitted into the upper end of all or selected uprights in the rack.
- the plug member carries a pin means by which the top structure can be quickly and conveniently attached and detached to the rack structure.
- this pin means includes a dowel which is receivable in a centrally located hole in the plug member and an appropriately located hole in the top structure.
- the plug member may, according to this invention.
- top structure section adjoining the top structure section positioned directly atop the plug member.
- laterally extending portion mounting a second dowel receivable in an appropriately located hole in the undersurface of the top structure section adjoining the top structure section positioned directly atop the plug member.
- an equal number of laterally extending portions may be included to provide individual support for each of the adjoining top structure sections.
- FIG. I is a perspective view of a multi-compartment rack structure according to the present invention showing a manner in which bound volumes of records can be stored therein and a manner in which they can be retrieved therefrom.

- a filing rack constructed according to the present invention includes, as mentioned previously, a plurality of square hollow uprights 8 and cross-pieces 9 consisting of round rods in the constructions shown in the draw ings.
- uprights 8 are arranged in parallel rows with uprights in each row disposed opposite to the uprights in the parallel row.
- the crosspieces extend the uprights perpendicularly with respect to the uprights and are located at various vertical levels depending upon the quantity and size of the compartments to be formed.
- the rack in FIG. 1 has nine rectangular compartments.
- each cross-piece has a male and female end, the male end is reduced in diameter and provided with external threads 10.
- the female end is bored and provided with internal threads 11.
- the male and female ends of the cross-pieces extend into one of the uprights through an appropriate located hole in the respective upright.
- the uprights and cross-pieces are connected together into a unitary self-supporting structure by mating the male end of one cross-piece to the female end of an adjacent commonly directed cross-piece internally of the respective upright; entry of the cross-piece ends into the upright being provided by a pair of aligned holes 13 formed opposite each other in the upright wall. For example.
- cross-piece 9a is matingly joined to the female end of cross-piece 9h inside up right 8a; cross-pieces 9a, 9b extending from opposite directions into upright 80 through aligned holes 13a. 13b formed in opposite sides of upright 8a.
- end of each crosspiece is provided with a shoulder 12 (e.g., shoulders 12a, 13b on cross-pieces 9a, 9b respectively) which engages the external surface of the respective upright when the meeting ends of adjacent cross-pieces are matingly threaded together as shown.
- shoulder 12 e.g., shoulders 12a, 13b on cross-pieces 9a, 9b respectively
- the cross-pieces extending into a corner upright is secured thereto by essentially the same male and female connection means just described; the only difference being the male or female connection, as the case may be, for a particular cross-piece is formed by a stub rod 14 which is provided with the appropriate male or female threads.
- the male stub rod 14a is provided with a screw driver slot 14c in its head 14b to facilitate its connection to the female end of the meeting cross-piece 90.
- the female stub rod 14c is similarly provided with a screw driver slot to facilitate its connection with the male end of connecting piece 9e.
- the stub rods are also used at any other place in the rack where it is inappropriate to join two full length crosspieces together. as for example at the joint between cross-piece 9d and upright 8a in FIG. 4.
- each of the rack constructions shown in the drawings is equipped with base plates 16 secured in place be tween adjacent uprights by means of nuts 16a and bolts 16b extending through aligned holes in the respective uprights and end plate 16(- of each base plate.
