Description

La présente invention concerne une gondole pour l'achalandage d'articles. Elle trouvera notamment son application dans les magasins et sera mise en oeuvre chez les fabricants de mobilier pour la grande distribution.The present invention relates to a gondola for the traffic of articles. It will notably find its application in the stores and will be implemented at the manufacturers of furniture for the large distribution.

Les gondoles se composent en particulier de montants verticaux, par exemple deux, trois ou quatre montants alignés longitudinalement soit sur la face arrière de ladite gondole, lorsqu'elle ne comporte qu'une seule face, soit en partie centrale de ladite gondole, lorsqu'elle comporte une face avant et une face arrière. Les montants sont soit solidaires d'un socle d'embase soit munis chacun d'un ou deux pieds d'embase, permettant leur maintien stable et en position verticale.The gondolas consist in particular of vertical uprights, for example two, three or four uprights aligned longitudinally or on the rear face of said gondola, when it comprises only one face, or in the central part of said gondola, when it comprises a front face and a rear face. The amounts are either secured to a base plate or each provided with one or two base legs, allowing their stable maintenance and vertical position.

Ces montants reçoivent sur leur face avant et éventuellement sur leur face arrière, lorsqu'il s'agit d'une gondole à double face, des consoles qui s'étendent perpendiculairement aux montants, vers l'extérieur de la gondole. La combinaison de deux consoles adjacentes, et disposées à une même hauteur sur une face, permet le support d'une étagère sur laquelle reposent les articles.These amounts receive on their front face and possibly on their rear face, when it is a double-sided gondola, consoles that extend perpendicular to the uprights, to the outside of the gondola. The combination of two adjacent consoles, and arranged at the same height on one side, allows the support of a shelf on which the articles rest.

Les montants de gondole sont constitués par de la structure tubulaire, généralement de section carrée ou rectangulaire. Ces montants sont soumis à de la contrainte en flexion due au poids exercé par les articles disposés sur les étagères. Cette contrainte mécanique est généralement compensée en augmentant l'épaisseur et la section de la structure tubulaire. Cela présente pour inconvénient essentiel d'augmenter la quantité de matière utilisée pour mettre en oeuvre les montants, et donc d'accroître le prix et le poids de la gondole.The gondola uprights are constituted by tubular structure, generally of square or rectangular section. These amounts are subjected to bending stress due to the weight exerted by the items placed on the shelves. This mechanical stress is generally compensated by increasing the thickness and section of the tubular structure. This has the essential disadvantage of increasing the amount of material used to implement the amounts, and thus increase the price and weight of the gondola.

On connaît des meubles étagères qui présentent pour avantage d'utiliser de la structure filaire pour concevoir les éléments du meuble étagère. Tel est le cas dans le brevet US 4.391.378 et dans le brevet JP 5095828 . Cette conception a pour avantage considérable de réduire la quantité de matière nécessaire et le poids du mobilier. Toutefois, les conceptions décrites dans ces brevets concernent du mobilier à quatre montants verticaux supportant mutuellement un ou plusieurs plans, lesdits montants travaillant essentiellement en compression. Leur conception n'est pas adaptée pour les gondoles qui ne présentent que des montants verticaux alignés longitudinalement à l'arrière ou en partie centrale desdites gondoles, lesdits montants travaillant principalement en flexion et étant agencés pour recevoir des consoles pour le support des étagères. Cette contrainte mécanique est d'autant plus forte que les gondoles ont des dimensions élevées par rapport au mobilier décrit dans les brevets US 4.391.378 et JP 5095828 , et qu'elles doivent supporter des quantités importantes d'articles, en particulier dans les grandes surfaces commerciales. Cela a pour conséquence d'augmenter considérablement la charge exercée sur lesdites gondoles, d'où un besoin d'augmenter leur inertie.Furniture shelves are known which have the advantage of using the wire structure to design the elements of the shelf furniture. This is the case in the patent US 4,391,378 and in the patent JP 5095828 . This design has the considerable advantage of reducing the amount of material needed and the weight of the furniture. However, the designs described in these patents are furniture four vertical uprights mutually supporting one or more planes, said amounts working essentially in compression. Their design is not suitable for gondolas which have only vertical uprights aligned longitudinally at the rear or central portion of said gondolas, said uprights working mainly in bending and being arranged to receive brackets for the support of the shelves. This mechanical stress is all the stronger as the gondolas have high dimensions compared to the furniture described in the patents US 4,391,378 and JP 5095828 , and that they must support large quantities of articles, especially in large commercial areas. This has the effect of considerably increasing the load exerted on said gondolas, hence a need to increase their inertia.

Le document DE 9001695 décrit une structure pour la présentation de marchandises comprenant deux montants verticaux reliés entre eux par une grille et permettant de supporter deux étagères.The document DE 9001695 discloses a structure for the presentation of goods comprising two vertical uprights interconnected by a grid and to support two shelves.

Le brevet US 4.292.902 décrit un système de tablette spécialement conçu pour une installation dans des espaces fermés comme par exemple des chariots.The patent US 4,292,902 describes a tablet system specially designed for installation in closed spaces such as carts.

Ces deux derniers documents ne décrivent pas de montants verticaux munis chacun de deux structures en forme de « U », les bords latéraux de la structure étant renforcés par une structure filaire.These last two documents do not describe vertical uprights each provided with two U-shaped structures, the lateral edges of the structure being reinforced by a wire structure.

La présente invention a pour but principal de réduire considérablement la quantité de matière utilisée pour concevoir une gondole, ce qui a pour effet immédiat de diminuer sa masse et surtout son coût de fabrication, en particulier en cette période où les coûts des matières premières, dont l'acier, ont subi une forte hausse. Pour cela, l'invention a pour objectif de privilégier essentiellement l'utilisation de structure filaire pour la conception de tous les éléments de gondole.The main object of the present invention is to reduce considerably the amount of material used to design a gondola, which has the immediate effect of reducing its mass and especially its manufacturing cost, especially at a time when the costs of raw materials, including steel, have risen sharply . For this, the invention aims to focus primarily on the use of wire structure for the design of all gondola elements.

Un autre but est de renforcer l'inertie mécanique des montants verticaux pour augmenter leur résistance aux contraintes en flexion dues à la charge des articles exposés sur les étagères, vers l'avant ou l'arrière de la gondole. Ainsi la gondole selon l'invention ne nécessite pas d'augmenter l'épaisseur et la section des montants pour renforcer leur inertie mécanique.Another object is to reinforce the mechanical inertia of the uprights to increase their resistance to flexural stresses due to the load of articles exposed on the shelves, towards the front or the rear of the gondola. Thus, the gondola according to the invention does not require increasing the thickness and the section of the uprights to reinforce their mechanical inertia.

L'invention a également pour objectif d'améliorer la qualité visuelle des articles exposés sur la gondole, en réduisant considérablement l'aspect massif de celle-ci et en dissimulant, tant que possible, les éléments de gondole, au profit desdits articles.The invention also aims to improve the visual quality of items exposed on the gondola, significantly reducing the massive appearance of the latter and concealing, as much as possible, the gondola elements, in favor of said items.

A cet effet, l'invention concerne une gondole pour l'achalandage d'articles, notamment utilisable dans les magasins, comprenant au moins deux montants verticaux solidaires de pieds d'embase qui assurent leur maintien en position, les montants comprenant une face avant et une face arrière, dont au moins une est agencée pour recevoir des consoles qui s'étendent perpendiculairement vers l'extérieur de la gondole, l'association de deux consoles assemblées à la même hauteur sur les faces avant ou sur les faces arrière des deux montants successifs permettant le support d'une étagère sur laquelle sont disposés les articles. Ladite gondole est remarquable en ce que chaque montant comprend au moins deux structures de montant constituant respectivement la face avant et la face arrière du montant, lesdites structures de montant étant disposées en vis-à-vis et consolidées par au moins une structure filaire rigide, ladite structure filaire renforçant l'inertie desdits montants, les structures de montant étant en forme de « U », le fond du « U » comprenant des orifices agencés pour recevoir les consoles, les bords latéraux des structures de montant étant renforcés par la structure filaire.For this purpose, the invention relates to a gondola for the use of articles, particularly usable in stores, comprising at least two vertical uprights secured to the base legs which ensure their retention in position, the uprights comprising a front face and a rear face, at least one of which is arranged to receive brackets which extend perpendicularly towards the outside of the gondola, the association of two consoles assembled at the same height on the front faces or on the rear faces of the two uprights successive ones allowing the support of a shelf on which the articles are arranged. Said gondola is remarkable in that each upright comprises at least two stud structures respectively constituting the front face and the rear face of the upright, said upright structures being disposed opposite and consolidated by at least one rigid wire structure, said wire structure reinforcing the inertia of said uprights, the upright structures being U-shaped, the bottom of the "U" comprising orifices arranged to receive the consoles, the lateral edges of the upright structures being reinforced by the wire structure.

D'autres avantages et caractéristiques de la présente invention apparaîtront à la lecture de la description suivante qui s'appuie sur des figures présentant un mode de réalisation préférentiel et non limitatif des éléments de la gondole, parmi lesquelles :

Other advantages and features of the present invention will appear on reading the following description based on figures showing a preferred and non-limiting embodiment of the elements of the gondola, among which:
  • the figure 1 represents the constituent elements of a gondola according to the invention, seen in perspective,
  • the figure 2 represents a first embodiment of vertical uprights, seen in perspective,

  • the figure 5 represents an embodiment of a shelf, perspective view,
  • the figure 6 represents an embodiment of a base foot, seen in perspective.

La gondole 1 pour l'achalandage d'articles, selon l'invention, trouvera notamment son application dans les magasins tels que les grandes surfaces commerciales. La gondole 1 peut comporter une seule face avant, ce mode de réalisation étant en particulier prévu pour les gondoles attenantes à une surface murale. De manière plus générale, les gondoles comprennent une face avant 3 et une face arrière 5, telles que présentées en figure 1. Ces gondoles 1 sont généralement alignées longitudinalement pour constituer les rayonnages dans le magasin.The gondola 1 for the traffic of articles, according to the invention, will find particular application in stores such as large commercial areas. The gondola 1 may comprise a single front face, this embodiment being in particular provided for the gondolas adjoining a wall surface. More generally, the gondolas comprise a front face 3 and a rear face 5, as shown in FIG. figure 1 . These gondolas 1 are generally aligned longitudinally to build the shelves in the store.

Telle que présentée à la figure 1, la gondole 1 comprend au moins deux montants verticaux 7, 9, au moins deux pieds d'embase 11, au moins deux consoles 13 et au moins une étagère 15. Les montants 7, 9 verticaux sont solidaires des pieds d'embase 11. Ces pieds d'embase 11 assurent le maintien desdits montants en position stable et verticale. Ils sont fixés aux extrémités basses des montants verticaux 7, 9 et s'étendent perpendiculairement par rapport à ceux-ci, dans le sens transversal de la gondole 1. Selon un mode de conception, chaque montant 7, 9 comprend un seul pied d'embase 11 lorsque la gondole 1 ne dispose que d'une seule face 3, et comprend deux pieds d'embase 11 lorsque la gondole dispose de deux faces avant 3 et arrière 5. On peut toutefois concevoir un pied d'embase unique qui s'étend de part et d'autre du montant 7, 9, vers l'avant et l'arrière, lorsque la gondole 1 présente deux faces. Les pieds d'embase 11 peuvent être dissimulés sous un habillage et servir de support à un étagère basse 17 de façon à former un socle d'embase 19 tel que représenté en figure 1.As presented to figure 1 , the gondola 1 comprises at least two vertical uprights 7, 9, at least two base legs 11, at least two brackets 13 and at least one shelf 15. The vertical uprights 7, 9 are integral with the base legs 11. These base legs 11 ensure the maintenance of said uprights in a stable and vertical position. They are attached to the lower ends of the uprights 7, 9 and extend perpendicularly thereto, in the transverse direction of the gondola 1. According to a design, each upright 7, 9 comprises a single foot of base 11 when the gondola 1 has only one face 3, and comprises two base legs 11 when the gondola has two front faces 3 and rear 5. However, we can design a single base foot that s' extends on both sides of the upright 7, 9, forwards and backwards, when the gondola 1 has two faces. The base legs 11 may be concealed under a covering and serve as a support for a low shelf 17 so as to form a base base 19 as shown in FIG. figure 1 .

Les montants verticaux 7, 9 comprennent une face avant 21 et une face arrière 23, dont au moins l'une est agencée pour recevoir des consoles 13. En effet, lorsque la gondole 1 est à face unique, seule la face avant 21 nécessite d'être agencée pour recevoir les consoles 13, tandis que pour les gondoles à doubles faces, la face avant 21 et la face arrière 23 nécessitent d'être agencées. Dans la suite de la description, la gondole 1 décrite sera de préférence constituée de deux faces avant 3 et arrière 5. La gondole peut également comprendre deux barres longitudinales haute 25 et basse 27 permettant de renforcer la stabilité de ladite gondole.The vertical uprights 7, 9 comprise a front face 21 and a rear face 23, at least one of which is arranged to receive brackets 13. Indeed, when the gondola 1 is single face, only the front face 21 requires be arranged to receive the consoles 13, while for the double-sided gondolas, the front face 21 and the rear face 23 need to be arranged. In the remainder of the description, the gondola 1 described will preferably consist of two front 3 and rear 5 faces. The gondola may also comprise two longitudinal high and low 27 bars for reinforcing the stability of said gondola.

Les consoles 13 sont assemblées sur la face avant 21 et arrière 23 des montants 7, 9, et s'étendent perpendiculairement vers l'extérieur de la gondole en s'éloignant desdits montants 7, 9. L'association de deux consoles 13, disposées sur une même face 21 de deux montants 7, 9 successifs et à la même hauteur, permet le support d'une étagère 15 sur laquelle sont disposés des articles.The consoles 13 are assembled on the front face 21 and rear 23 of the uprights 7, 9, and extend perpendicularly towards the outside of the gondola away from said uprights 7, 9. The association of two consoles 13, arranged on the same face 21 of two uprights 7, 9 successive and at the same height, allows the support of a shelf 15 on which are arranged articles.

Selon un mode préférentiel, les consoles 13, représentées en figure 4, comprennent des pattes 29 en forme de crochet et les faces avant 21 et arrière 23 comprennent des orifices 31 destinés à recevoir lesdites pattes 29.In a preferred embodiment, the consoles 13, represented in figure 4 , comprise hook-shaped lugs 29 and the front and rear faces 23 and 23 comprise orifices 31 intended to receive said lugs 29.

Chaque montant 7, 9 comprend au moins deux structures de montant 33, 35, telles que présentées sur la figure 2. Ces structures 33, 35 sont disposées en vis-à-vis et constituent la face avant 21 et la face arrière 23 du montant 7, 9. Ces structures 33, 35 sont munies d'orifices 31 espacés sur toute leur hauteur pour permettre l'assemblage des consoles 13 sur plusieurs niveaux, lesdits orifices 31 recevant les pattes 29 desdites consoles 13. Ces structures 33, 35 sont consolidées par au moins une structure filaire rigide 37, 39, chaque structure filaire 37, 39 étant disposée entre lesdites structures 33, 35. Cette structure filaire 37 renforce l'inertie des montants, ce qui permet de conserver une épaisseur et une section de montant constantes, capables de supporter une large gamme d'articles dont la charge peut varier fortement. Les structures 33, 35 sont de préférence réalisées en tôle métallique. On peut toutefois envisager l'utilisation de matériaux composites ou autres pour leur conception. De même, on peut envisager l'utilisation d'une structure en matériau composite intégrant un treillis métallique de renfort.Each amount 7, 9 comprises at least two structures of amount 33, 35, as presented on the figure 2 . These structures 33, 35 are arranged vis-à-vis and constitute the front face 21 and the rear face 23 of the upright 7, 9. These structures 33, 35 are provided with orifices 31 spaced over their entire height to allow the assembly of the consoles 13 on several levels, said orifices 31 receiving the tabs 29 of said brackets 13. These structures 33, 35 are consolidated by at least one rigid wire structure 37, 39, each wire structure 37, 39 being disposed between said structures 33, 35. This wired structure 37 reinforces the inertia of the uprights, which makes it possible to maintain a constant thickness and section of the upright, capable of supporting a wide range of articles whose load can vary greatly. The structures 33, 35 are preferably made of sheet metal. However, we can consider the use of composite materials or other for their design. Similarly, one can consider the use of a composite material structure incorporating a reinforcing wire mesh.

Selon un premier mode de conception représenté à la figure 2, le montant 7, 9 comprend au moins deux structures filaires 37, 39. Les structures filaires 37 et 39 ont la forme d'une ligne brisée dont les extrémités angulaires 41, 43 sont solidarisées avec les bords latéraux 45, 46, 47, 48 et en vis-à-vis des deux structures de montant 33, 35. Pour cela la structure 33, 35 présente la forme d'un « U ». Le fond du « U » 49 comprend des orifices 31 tels que décrits précédemment, destinés à recevoir les pattes 29 des consoles 13. Les côtés latéraux du « U » 51, 52 constituent respectivement les bords latéraux 45, 46 de la structure 33 et les bords latéraux 47, 48 de la structure 35. Ces côtés latéraux 51, 52 sont soudés avec les extrémités angulaires 41, 43 des structures filaires 37, 39.According to a first design mode represented in the figure 2 , the upright 7, 9 comprises at least two wire structures 37, 39. The wire structures 37 and 39 are in the form of a broken line whose angular ends 41, 43 are secured to the lateral edges 45, 46, 47, 48 and vis-à-vis the two post structures 33, 35. For this the structure 33, 35 has the shape of a "U". The bottom of the "U" 49 comprises orifices 31 as described above, intended to receive the tabs 29 of the brackets 13. The lateral sides of the "U" 51, 52 constitute respectively the lateral edges 45, 46 of the structure 33 and the lateral edges 47, 48 of the structure 35. These lateral sides 51, 52 are welded with the angular ends 41, 43 of the wire structures 37, 39.

Ainsi, les deux structures 33, 35, en forme de « U », sont disposées en regard l'une de l'autre, et les côtés latéraux en vis-à-vis sont soudés avec la structure filaire 37, 39, de préférence sur les faces internes de la structure en « U ». L'emploi de structures filaires 37, 39 en forme de ligne brisée, consolidées entre les deux structures 33, 35 permet de créer des contrevents qui renforcent les bords latéraux 45, 46, 47, 48 desdites structures 33, 35, augmentant ainsi l'inertie des montants 7, 9 et donc leur résistance aux contraintes de flexion exercées par le poids des articles.Thus, the two U-shaped structures 33, 35 are arranged facing one another, and the lateral sides facing each other are welded to the wire structure 37, 39, preferably on the internal faces of the "U" structure. The use of wire-shaped structures 37, 39 in the form of broken lines, consolidated between the two structures 33, 35 makes it possible to create shutters which reinforce the lateral edges 45, 46, 47, 48 of said structures 33, 35, thus increasing the inertia amounts 7, 9 and therefore their resistance to bending stresses exerted by the weight of the articles.

Selon un second mode de conception représentée à la figure 3, le montant 7, 9 se compose de deux structures 53, 55 en forme de « U » constituant la face avant 21 et la face arrière 23 du montant 7, 9, lesdites faces étant munies d'orifices 57 pour l'accrochage de consoles 13. Le montant 7, 9 comprend, en outre, deux structures planes 59, 61 constituant les côtés latéraux du montant 7, 9. Celles-ci sont solidaires des deux structures 53, 55 et les maintiennent en vis-à-vis. Ces deux structures plane 59, 61 sont de faible épaisseur et contribuent à la rigidité du montant. Toutefois le montant 7, 9 est consolidé au moyen de structures filaires rigides 63 agencées dans les coins intérieurs 65 des structures 53, 55 en forme de « U ». Cette conception permet également de renforcer l'inertie mécanique sur les bords latéraux de la structure en « U » 53, 55 et donc de compenser les efforts de flexion exercés vers l'avant ou vers l'arrière du montant. Les structures planes 59, 61 sont de préférence réalisées dans le même matériau que les structures 53, 55 en forme de « U ».According to a second design mode represented in figure 3 , the upright 7, 9 consists of two structures 53, 55 in the form of a "U" constituting the front face 21 and the rear face 23 of the upright 7, 9, said faces being provided with orifices 57 for fastening consoles 13. The amount 7, 9 comprises, in addition, two flat structures 59, 61 constituting the lateral sides of the upright 7, 9. These are integral with the two structures 53, 55 and maintain them vis-a-vis. These two flat structures 59, 61 are thin and contribute to the rigidity of the amount. However, the amount 7, 9 is consolidated by means of rigid wire structures 63 arranged in the inner corners 65 of the structures 53, 55 in the shape of a "U". This design also makes it possible to reinforce the mechanical inertia on the lateral edges of the "U" -shaped structure 53, 55 and thus to compensate for the bending forces exerted towards the front or towards the rear of the upright. The planar structures 59, 61 are preferably made of the same material as the "U" shaped structures 53, 55.

Telle que présentée en figure 4, la console 13 est constituée d'une plaque 67 agencée pour être fixée sur la face avant 21 ou sur la face arrière 23 du montant 7, 9, et d'un bras renforcé 69 en structure filaire rigide, ledit bras 69 étant fixé à son extrémité arrière avec la plaque 67. La plaque 67 est munie à son extrémité arrière de pattes 29 en forme de crochet qui s'insèrent dans les orifices sur la structure en « U ». Le bras 69 comprend une partie filaire supérieure 71 et une partie filaire inférieure 73. En référence à la figure 4, la partie filaire supérieure 71 est de forme linéaire rigide adaptée pour recevoir une étagère 15. La partie inférieure 73 est de forme incurvée rigide de sorte que la hauteur séparant les extrémités arrières 75, 77 des deux parties 71, 73 correspond à la hauteur de la plaque 67, et que l'extrémité avant 79 de la partie inférieure 73 rejoint l'extrémité avant 81 de la partie supérieure 71. La partie supérieure 71 et la partie inférieure 73 sont soudées entre elles à leur extrémité avant 79, 81, et ont leur extrémité arrière 75, 77, respectivement soudées sur les extrémités supérieure 83 et inférieure 85 de la plaque 67. Les deux parties 71, 73 sont consolidées au moyen d'une structure filaire 87 en ligne brisée. Cette conception est particulièrement adaptée pour compenser les contraintes en flexion exercées sur ledit bras 69, et permet de réduire considérablement la masse de la console 13, à la différence des consoles de l'art antérieur qui sont constituées d'une tôle d'acier plane mise en forme par découpage.As presented in figure 4 , the console 13 consists of a plate 67 arranged to be fixed on the front face 21 or on the rear face 23 of the upright 7, 9, and a reinforced arm 69 rigid wire structure, said arm 69 being fixed to its rear end with the plate 67. The plate 67 is provided at its rear end with hook-shaped lugs 29 which fit into the orifices on the "U" -shaped structure. The arm 69 comprises an upper wire part 71 and a lower wire part 73. With reference to the figure 4 , the upper wire portion 71 is of rigid linear shape adapted to receive a shelf 15. The lower portion 73 is of rigid curved shape so that the height separating the rear ends 75, 77 of the two parts 71, 73 corresponds to the height of the plate 67, and that the front end 79 of the lower part 73 joins the front end 81 of the upper part 71. The upper part 71 and the lower part 73 are welded together at their front end 79, 81, and have their rear end 75, 77, respectively welded to the upper ends 83 and lower 85 of the plate 67. The two parts 71, 73 are consolidated by means of a wire structure 87 broken line. This design is particularly adapted to compensate for the bending stresses exerted on said arm 69, and considerably reduces the mass of the console 13, unlike the consoles of the prior art which consist of a flat steel sheet formatted by cutting.

L'association de deux consoles 13 adjacentes, disposées sur la même face de deux montants verticaux 7, 9 successifs, permet le support d'une étagère 15 sur laquelle sont disposés les articles. Telle que présentée en figure 5, l'étagère 15 se compose d'une structure, de préférence en tôle, de faible épaisseur, semi-rigide, formant un plan d'étalage 89. Le plan d'étalage 89 est de préférence replié sur ses quatre bords pour former un contour périphérique 91. Ce contour périphérique 91 présente pour avantage de dissimuler la partie supérieure 71 de la console 13 en appui sur la face inférieure 93 du plan 89. Le plan 89 est renforcé sur sa face inférieure 93 par au moins une structure filaire rigide 95, et de préférence deux structures filaires rigides 95, 97, représentées en figure 5, qui sont disposées dans le sens de la longueur du plan 89. Ces structures filaires rigides 95, 97 permettent de compenser la fine épaisseur du plan 89 pour éviter que celui-ci ne fléchisse sous la charge des articles. Cette conception de l'étagère 15 contribue donc à réduire la quantité de matière utilisée pour la fabrication de la gondole 1.The association of two consoles 13 adjacent, arranged on the same side of two vertical uprights 7, 9 successive, allows the support of a shelf 15 on which are arranged the articles. As presented in figure 5 , the shelf 15 consists of a structure, preferably sheet metal, thin, semi-rigid, forming a plan of display 89. The plan of display 89 is preferably folded on its four edges to form a peripheral contour 91. This peripheral contour 91 has the advantage of concealing the upper portion 71 of the bracket 13 resting on the lower face 93 of the plane 89. The plane 89 is reinforced on its lower face 93 by at least one rigid wire structure 95 , and preferably two rigid wire structures 95, 97, represented in figure 5 , which are arranged in the direction of the length of the plane 89. These rigid wire structures 95, 97 make it possible to compensate for the thin thickness of the plane 89 to prevent it from sagging under the load of the articles. This design of the shelf 15 thus contributes to reducing the amount of material used for the manufacture of the gondola 1.

Le pied d'embase 11 se compose d'au moins une structure filaire rigide 99 formant le contour du pied, celui-ci étant renforcé par une structure filaire 101 disposée en ligne brisée, soudée sur la partie haute 103 et sur la partie basse 105 dudit contour. Le pied 11 se compose également d'une plaque de fixation 107 agencée pour être fixée à l'extrémité basse du montant 7, 9, ladite plaque 107 étant disposée à l'arrière de la structure filaire 99 et solidaire de celle-ci. Tel que représenté sur la figure 6, le pied 11 est de préférence muni de deux structures filaires 99, 109 juxtaposées formant le contour, lesdites structures 99, 109 étant consolidées par la plaque 107 disposée à leur extrémité arrière, et par des fils rigides 111 soudés transversalement entre les deux structures filaires 99, 109, en partie haute 103 et basse 105.The base foot 11 is composed of at least one rigid wire structure 99 forming the contour of the foot, the latter being reinforced by a wire structure 101 arranged in broken line, welded to the upper part 103 and the lower part 105 said contour. The foot 11 also consists of a fixing plate 107 arranged to be fixed to the lower end of the upright 7, 9, said plate 107 being disposed at the rear of the structure wired 99 and secured thereto. As shown on the figure 6 , the foot 11 is preferably provided with two wire structures 99, 109 juxtaposed forming the contour, said structures 99, 109 being consolidated by the plate 107 disposed at their rear end, and by rigid wires 111 welded transversely between the two wire structures 99, 109, high 103 and low 105.

Le pied d'embase 11 est muni d'au moins une pièce de stabilisation 113 sur le sol du magasin, et préférentiellement de deux pièces de stabilisation 113, 115, telles que représentées en figure 6. La pièce de stabilisation 113 est par exemple constituée d'une petite plaque taraudée 117, fixée en partie basse 105 des deux structures filaires 99, 109, ladite plaque taraudée 117 recevant une tige filetée 119 munie à son extrémité basse d'un galet de contact 121 sur le sol, ladite tige filetée 119 permettant de régler la position du galet 121 pour que le pied 11 soit parfaitement stable sur le sol.The base leg 11 is provided with at least one stabilizing piece 113 on the store floor, and preferably with two stabilizing pieces 113, 115, as shown in FIG. figure 6 . The stabilizing piece 113 is for example constituted by a small threaded plate 117 fixed at the bottom 105 of the two wire structures 99, 109, said threaded plate 117 receiving a threaded rod 119 provided at its lower end with a contact roller 121 on the ground, said threaded rod 119 for adjusting the position of the roller 121 so that the foot 11 is perfectly stable on the ground.

La plaque de fixation 107 comprend par exemple une patte de fixation inférieure 123 qui est recourbée à son extrémité basse 125 et se fixe sur un côté latéral 51, 52 de la structure en tôle 33, 35, et une patte de fixation supérieure 127 qui s'insère dans un orifice 31 à l'extrémité basse de la face avant 21 ou arrière 23 de la structure 33, 35.The fixing plate 107 comprises, for example, a lower fixing lug 123 which is bent at its lower end 125 and is fixed on a lateral side 51, 52 of the sheet metal structure 33, 35, and an upper attachment lug 127 which is insert in a hole 31 at the lower end of the front face 21 or rear 23 of the structure 33, 35.

La gondole 1 peut éventuellement être équipée d'au moins un panneau vertical intermédiaire 129, représenté en figure 1, lorsque celle-ci dispose d'une face avant 3 et d'une face arrière 5. Le panneau 129 permet ainsi de séparer les deux faces 3, 5 de la gondole pour les rendre distinctes et mettre ainsi en valeur les articles exposés sur l'étagère 15.The gondola 1 may optionally be equipped with at least one vertical intermediate panel 129, shown in FIG. figure 1 when the latter has a front face 3 and a rear face 5. The panel 129 thus separates the two faces 3, 5 of the gondola to make them distinct and thus highlight the items on display. shelf 15.

La gondole est dans un mode préférentiel et non limitatif constituée entièrement en métal tel que l'acier. Mais on peut toutefois envisager des éléments de gondole réalisés dans des matériaux différents, comme par exemple un polymère.The gondola is in a preferred and non-limiting mode consisting entirely of metal such as steel. However, it is possible to envisage gondola elements made of different materials, for example a polymer.

L'invention sera notamment fabriquée dans l'industrie métallurgique, chez les concepteurs de structure métallique et de mobilier pour la grande distribution.The invention will be manufactured especially in the metallurgical industry, steel structure designers and furniture for large distribution.
