Abstract

A fitting (30) for use with a slotted upright (10) which incorporates a nose portion (33) having a resilient insert (45) thereon which engages with side faces of the slot to take up manufacturing or other tolerances between the fitting and the slot and make the fitting a snug fit therein.

Description

Fitting for use with a slotted upright
Description
This invention relates to a fitting for use with a slotted upright, and more particularly, to a fitting which includes means for laterally stabilising the fitting when it is fitted in the slotted upright. The fitting of the invention is particularly, but not exclusively suitable for use with shelving and display systems for shops or other retail outlets. It can however, be used in any situation where a fitting is attached to and mounted in a slotted upright.
Many different sorts of slotted upright systems to which fittings such as support arms can be releasably mounted are known. An example of such a system is disclosed in GB 2 324 460.
One major problem with these systems arises because of manufacturing tolerances. Ideally, the part of the fitting which is received in a slot in the upright should be a perfect fit to eliminate any lateral movement of the fitting when it is fitted to the slotted upright. However, if the manufacturing tolerances result in the fitting being even slightly too thick, then it would not fit into the slots of the upright. The slots in the uprights are therefore generally manufactured to account for the maximum manufacturing thickness variation of the fittings to avoid this happening. This can result in inconsistent and loose fits of the fittings in the slots.
Furthermore, the slotted uprights are usually finish coated after manufacture, and different coating processes result in coatings of different thickness. For example, chrome plating is much thinner than powder-coating. As the slotted upright has to be manufactured to accept any form of finish coating, a chrome plated upright will have slots which are wider than those in a powder coated upright. The same of course applies to finish coatings applied to the fittings themselves. Thus, thick coatings may in some instances be scraped off if the fittings are repeatedly attached and detached from the upright, which is undesirable. Conversely, if the uprights and fittings are finish coated with a thin coating such as a chrome plating, it can be so thin that the fittings can make a loose fit in the slots of the upright, resulting in excessive lateral movement therebetween. As a result, current systems of slotted uprights and fittings feature loose fits therebetween to account for known variations in manufacturing tolerances, and the varying thickness of finish coatings.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a fitting which includes means on it which ensure that it can make a snug fit in a slot in the slotted upright, regardless of the manufacturing size variations or the finish coating of the fitting or upright.
According to the present invention there is therefore provided a fitting for attachment to a slotted upright, having a nose portion shaped to be received in and engage with a slot in said upright, wherein the nose portion includes a resilient insert which is larger than the width of the slot to create a snug fit therewith and laterally locate the fitting in position in the slot.
In a preferred embodiment, the resilient insert has a body with enlarged ends which protrude beyond side faces of the fitting and engage with inside faces of the slot to create a snug fit therewith when the fitting is mounted in the slot in the upright.
The nose portion preferably has opposed outer faces and each enlarged end of the insert has a planar face normal to the axis of the insert, said face engaging with it's adjacent outer face of the nose portion.
Preferably the axial distance between the planar faces of the enlarged ends is equal to the width of the slot in the upright.
The resilient insert is conveniently removable from the fitting. Preferably the resilient insert fits into an aperture in the nose portion.
In a preferred embodiment, the aperture has a first insert receiving portion which is larger than the diameter of the insert and a second insert gripping portion which is smaller than the diameter of the insert, the first and second portions having a ridge therebetween to retain the insert in the second portion. Conveniently, the opening comprises a pair of siamesed circular holes which meet at a junction which provides the ridge on opposite sides of the opening.
The body of the resilient insert is preferably cyHndrical, and the enlarged ends of the resilient insert are preferably of a larger diameter than the body of the resilient insert so that it is axially retained in the aperture in the nose portion.
The insert is preferably made from a natural or synthetic rubber material or a resilient plastic material such as nylon.
An embodiment of the invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 shows a slotted upright to receive and support a fitting of the invention, such as that shown in Figure 2;
Figure 2 shows a fitting of the invention, including a resilient tolerance absorbing insert;
Figure 3 is an end view of the fitting shown in Figure 2; Figure 4 is an exploded view of the fitting of Figures 2 and 3;
Figure 5 shows the fitting of Figures 2 and 3 ready for insertion into a slot in the upright of Figure 1; and
Figure 6 is a cross-sectional view of the fitting located in position in the slotted upright.
Referring now to Figure 1, there is shown a known slotted upright 10 having a main body 11 with side walls 12, 13, a rear wall 14 and a front wall or support face 15.
This tubular configuration is not essential as it can be, for example, U-shaped. A number of regularly spaced vertical slots 20 are formed along the length of the support face 15 which has an inner surface 16 and an outer surface 17. Each slot 20 has an internal face 21. A fitting 30 in the form of a blade or fitting for attachment to the upright 10 is shown in Figures 2 and 3 and includes opposed outer side faces 31, 32, a mounting portion or nose 33 and a horizontally extending arm portion 34. Although the fitting 30 is shown as being a support arm 34, the invention is not limited to such a fitting and can be applied to any fitting to be mounted in a slotted upright 10. The nose portion 33 of the fitting 30 has an upper tongue 35 and lower finger 36. The upper tongue 35 has an engaging surface 37, and the lower finger 36 has an engaging surface 38. The two engaging surfaces 37, 38 lie in planes A, B which are parallel to one another, and offset by distance 'd' which is equal to the thickness of the support face 15 of the slotted member 10. The nose portion 33 has a figure of eight shaped aperture 40 formed therethrough by two overlapping siamesed circular holes of different diameters, the lower hole 41 being slightly smaller than the upper hole 42 (see Figure 4). Ridges 43 are formed where the two circular holes 41, 42 of the aperture 40 meet. A cylindrical replaceable resilient insert or plug 45, which may be made of nylon, is retained in the lower circular hole 41 by the ridges 43 with it's axis perpendicular to planes C, D defined by the side faces 31, 32 of the nose portion 33. The nylon plug 45 has a cyHndrical body 47 with enlarged ends 46 which extend outwardly beyond the side faces 31, 32 of the nose portion 33 (see Figures 3 and 4). The enlarged ends 46 of the plug 45 are slightly larger in diameter than the rest of the cyHndrical body 47 and include a planar face 46A which engages with it's adjacent outer side face 31 , 32 of the nose 33, thereby axially retaining the plug 45 in the lower circular hole 41.
The fitting 30 is fitted in the slotted upright 10 by pivoting it as shown in Figure 5 so that the upper tongue 35 can be inserted into one of the slots 20, in the direction of arrow E. The fitting 30 is then pushed downwardly in the direction of arrow F until the engaging face 37 of the upper tongue 35 abuts the inner surface 16 of the slotted support face 15, and the engaging face 38 of the lower finger 36 abuts the outer surface 17 of the support face 15. During this movement, the enlarged ends 46 of the nylon plug 45 are compressed axiaUy inwardly towards each other and forced against the internal face 21 of the slot 20. The resilient force exerted by the nylon plug 45 on the opposed internal faces 21 of the slot 20 prevents any lateral movement of the fitting 30 once it has been fitted in the slotted upright 10. This is because the plug 45 is resilient so it deforms to fit into the slot 20 regardless of it's width, so any small variations in the dimensions thereof resulting from manufacturing tolerances can be accommodated. Furthermore, the fitting 30 is also able to perform it's function regardless of the thickness of the finish coating appHed to either slotted upright 10 or the fitting 30 subsequent to manufacture. The plug 45 has a further advantage in that it is softer than metal, so it will not scrape the finishing coating from the surface of a slotted upright 10 when the fitting 30 is attached and detached thereto and therefrom.
It will be appreciated that repeatedly attaching and detaching the fitting 30 to and from the slotted upright 10 will result in wear to the enlarged ends 46 of the cyHndrical plug 45. If this wear continues to such an extent that the plug 45 no longer exerts a resiHent force on the internal walls 21 of the slot 20, the fitting 30 will no longer be laterally restrained in position. To overcome this problem, the nylon plug 45 can be removed from the fitting 30 by pressing it upwardly in a direction perpendicular to it's axis over ridges 43 and into the larger upper circular hole 42 of the aperture 40. As the diameter of the upper circular hole 42 is greater than the diameter of the enlarged ends 46 of the nylon plug 45, the nylon plug 45 can then be pressed laterally out of the upper circular hole 42 and removed from the fitting (see Figure 4). A new replacement plug 45 can then be fitted into the nose portion 33 of the fitting 30 by inserting it axially into the upper circular hole 42, and then pressing it downwardly over ridges 43 into position in the lower hole 41 where it is held in place due to the outer planar faces 46A of the enlarged ends 46 engaging with the adjacent side faces 31, 32 of the nose portion 33 of the fitting 30 and the ridges 43 contacting the cyHndrical body 47 of the nylon plug 45.
