Title:
END OR BACK PANELLING FOR METAL SHELVING UNITS DESIGNED TO DISPLAY MERCHANDISE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/031746
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
End or back panelling for metal shelving units designed to display merchandise, characterized in that it has back panels (3) which are in the form of flat sheets and have reinforcing folds (103, 203) which increase their resistance to transverse bending stresses, even though made of sheet metal with a limited thickness. These panels (3) have dimensions comprising a width (L3) suitably smaller than the distance (D) which is present between the inner sides of the uprights (1, 1 ') of the shelving unit and are provided laterally with engaging lugs (4, 5), the extension (L4) of which, added to said useful width (L3) of the panel (3), is equal to or slightly less than said inner distance (D) between the uprights, all of which in such a way that it is possible firstly to insert the engaging lugs (4, 5) of one vertical side of a panel (3) into the eyelets (2) of a corresponding upright (1), keeping the back panel (3) initially inclined, so as not to interfere with the other upright (1 '), following which the same panel (3) is inserted perpendicularly between the two uprights of the shelving unit and is displaced horizontally so as to insert also its other lateral engaging lugs (4, 5) into the eyelets (2) of the other upright and, once the panel is symmetrically arranged between the uprights, it is displaced downwards so that slits (5) formed in the bottom side of the said lateral lugs (4) fit onto the bottom sides of the eyelets (2) of the uprights, locking the back panels (3) in position.
