Definitions
- the invention refers to a shelving supporting base including: a box shaped structure having a first lower portion and a second upper portion; shelf engaging means, provided on said second upper portion of said box shaped structure, opposite said first lower portion, for connecting a shelf to said base; and connection means for connecting an upright to said base, according to the preamble of claim 1.
- a shelving supporting base including: a box shaped structure having a first lower portion and a second upper portion; shelf engaging means, provided on said second upper portion of said box shaped structure, opposite said first lower portion, for connecting a shelf to said base; and connection means for connecting an upright to said base, according to the preamble of claim 1.
- a base is known from DE-A-3 028 552.
- Shelvings formed with said bases may be placed agaist a bearing wall or matched all together to form structures in the interior design of shops or the like, to provide two fronts of items arranged for display purposes.
- These shelvings must meet hight strength and aesthetic requirements and must be inexpensive to produce.
- a base of the above mentioned kind is known from GB-A-1 557 188.
- the display apparatus disclosed in GE-A-1 557 188 includes a supporting base having a box shaped structure formed by a tubular beam exhibiting a rectangular cross section. The upper portion of the beam is provided with slots wherein connecting elements are inserted, for the connection of a shelf to said supporting base.
- a separate, U-shaped intermediate adaptor is inserted within the tubular beam to connect the upright to the base.
- DE-A-30 28 552 discloses a display unit with a base which has limited strength and is not sufficiently rigid. Separate connection members are provided for connecting the upright to the respective base.
- the invention relates to an improvement in a shelving supporting base of the above mentioned kind, as set forth in claim 1.
- reference number 1 generally indicates a box-like base for shelvings of the above mentioned type, to which a respective metal upright 3 is connected.
- Each upright 3 is provided with slots for the connection of shelves 5, which are suitably spaced apart from one another and extend in a cantilever fashion along the front of the shelving.
- the base 1 is usually a box like structure made from two shells of metal sheet suitably matched to one another and welded along respective contact edges.
- the known bases are not very satisfying from an aesthetic point of view and have some drawbacks as far as their resistance, the connection of the uprights and the connection of the supporting feet are concerned. These and other drawbacks are eliminated by the structure according to the invention.
- each base 1 is substantially formed by a continuous metal sheet, which is U-shaped in its lower part, i.e. which is formed by two opposite side panels 11 which are integral with a lower intermediate portion 13, said panels and said portion forming a U-shaped cross section.
- the box like structure is upwardly closed by edged portions 11A of the side panels 11, which are mutually welded.
- Each edge portion 11A has an end lip 11B, the end lips 11B being slightly spaced apart so as to receive terminal folded edges of the shelves 5A which are made to rest directly on said bases 1.
- the bases are shaped in their front and rear ends so as to allow engagement with other components.
- the outer ends will be closed by appendixes and side panels 11 which are folded in such a manner as to close the box like structure and, if required, to allow mounting of front coverings between adjacent bases.
- the bases are shaped with appendixes like those shown at 15, 17 and 19 for the connection of the respective uprights. More particularly, the appendixes 15 and 17 cooperate with slots formed in the uprights, and the appendixes 19, wich are spaced apart of a greater extent, engage the lower end of the upright when the latter is mounted and rests within slots 21 formed by appendixes 19.
- connection region 13 in correspondence of the rear end of the base i.e. in correspondence of the appendixes 19 is reinforced by an additional component 23 which has the same shape as the lower part of the box-like struture 11, 13, 11, of the appendixes 19 and of the slot 21, so as to reinforce the end portion of the base and the appendixes 19.
- This reinforcement prevents deformations and, in particular, avoids widening of the slots 21 which are subject also to a horizontally oriented stress applied by the uprights.
- the stiffeners 23 do not alter the appearance of the base and do not increase the overall dimensions thereof since they are housed within the U-shaped box-like structure according to the invention.
- Supporting feet can be easily applied along the connection region 13.
- Connection and adjustment components for said feet which are adjustable by means of screws, can also be applied along said connection region 13.
- Numeral 25 designates the components wherein the feet for supporting the shelving on the floor are housed. Said components provides for a screw-adjustment of the feet.
- the weight of the goods placed on the shelving is transmitted through the uprights 3, in particular to the rear feet.
- the latter are engaged in correspondence of the stiffener 23.
- the resistance is higher than that of the metal sheet alone, forming the base.
- the structure is therefore able to provide an extremely rational arrangement also of the base supporting components and of the shelving supporting components.
