Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a system for storing various objects suspended from a door, a wall or similar comprising a carrier element having a number of slots or through holes, the carrier element is adapted to be mounted, vertically orientated, on said door, wall or similar, and at least a basket, a set of hooks, a shoe rack or the like having a fastening device for detachable suspension from said carrier element.
- In cramped quarters and with restricted storage spaces, such as in cupboards, it is important to be able to provide extra storage spaces that do not interfere with the floor surface or available shelf surfaces. One way of achieving this is to mount wire baskets, shelves, suspension hooks, paper roll holders, shoe racks and the like on inner doors or the inside of cupboard doors. It is then advantageous if the baskets, shelves etc. can easily be attached to the door in an optional position or easily be replaced by another unit. Moreover it is of vital importance that the storage system can easily be mounted on and dismounted from the door, when required. Of course, the fastening device according to the invention for detachable suspension of baskets etc. is not limited to carrier elements or rails that are fixed to a door and the like, but a carrier element screwed to a wall or a hang standard hooked to a carrier rail is equally usable for said suspension.
- A system for storing various objects suspended from a door is known from
US Design Serial No. 464,558 . The system comprises a support rail in the form of a backbone which is intended to be screwed to a door or wall. The support rail comprises a central U-shaped portion whose bottom is intended to abut against a door or the like. A respective flange-formed portion with a number of tongues grouped in pairs projects laterally from the U-shaped portion and parallel with, but at a distance from, the door, to which tongues baskets, racks, shelves etc. can be attached. The baskets etc. have a strong suspension plate which is provided with slots and recesses and adapted to be pushed over the respective pairs of tongues to allow a basket to be suspended from the rail. The suspension plate is attached to the outside of the basket and has a central, U-shaped portion which projects from the basket and whose design corresponds to the U-shaped portion of the support rail and which, when mounting the basket on the support rail, is inserted into the U-shaped portion of the support rail. Thus the support rail is specially designed for this purpose only. - An object of the invention is to provide a system for detachable suspension of baskets etc. from a carrier element attached to a wall, door or the like, allowing easy mounting on and dismounting from the carrier element.
- A further object is to provide a system comprising a fastening device for baskets etc. which is discreetly designed and which affords lateral stability to the basket etc.
- Yet another object of the invention is to provide a system having a fastening device for baskets etc. which can be used together with the usual carrier elements, wall rails or hang standards.
- One more object is to provide a system having a fastening device for baskets etc. which is relatively inexpensive and easy to manufacture and which does not protrude beyond the basket etc.
- According to the invention, these objects are achieved by a system as described by way of introduction, which is characterised in that said fastening device is integrated with said basket, set of hooks, shoe rack or the like, that the central portion of the fastening device is essentially U-shaped and comprises a base portion and a pair of leg portions extending from the base portion and formed in one piece with the base portion, the fastening device being adapted to surroundingly engage the outer periphery of the carrier element, that the fastening device is insertedly arranged inside the periphery of the basket, the set of hooks etc., and that the base portion of the fastening device has at least one hook element for releasable engagement with a slot or a through hole in the carrier element.
- Further developments of the invention are defined by the features stated in the subclaims.
- Preferred embodiments of the invention will be described below by way of example and with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which
-

Fig. 8 is a rear perspective view of the fastening device inFig. 7 ; -
Fig. 9 is a central longitudinal section of the fastening device inFigs 7 and 8 ; and -
Fig. 10 is a section corresponding to the one inFig. 9 , schematically illustrating an alternative embodiment of the fastening device inFigs 7-9 . - Reference is first made to
Fig. 1 , which is a front view of a storage system withbaskets 1, sets ofhooks 3, shoe racks 5 etc. which are provided with afastening device 6, included in the system according to the present invention, for detachable suspension from a carrier element or rail 7. The carrier element is mounted on a wall 8,door 9 or the like. Preferably the carrier element 7 is a hang standard, such as the hang standards illustrated in the Elfa leaflet "Planerings- och produktguide" and inUS-A-5,110,080 . The carrier element thus is an elongate section with a plurality of through slots orholes 11 in one or two rows for detachable hooking on of thebaskets 1, the set ofhooks 3 etc. to the carrier element 7. In the drawings, the carrier element is shown to have a U-formed profile, but other profiles are also conceivable such an I-shaped or a T-shaped profile. - The
fastening device 6 is integrated with thebasket 1, the set ofhooks 3 etc., i.e. it is essentially formed in one piece with the basket etc. (Figs 1-5 ) or is fixedly attached to the basket etc. (Figs 6-10 ). Moreover thefastening device 6 comprises a central, essentially U-shaped portion havinghook elements 17 for releasable engagement with the slots orholes 11 of the carrier element 7, as will be described in more detail below. - With reference to
Figs 3-5 , which are different views of a set ofhooks 3 with afastening device 6, which is essentially formed in one piece with the set of hooks. The fastening device is a U-shaped bend of theupper wire 12 of the set of hooks having acentral portion 13 which comprises abase portion 14 and a pair ofleg portions 15 extending from the respective ends of the base portion. The fastening device surrounds the carrier element 7 with itsbase portion 14 and itsleg portions 15 and theseportions outer periphery 16 of the carrier element (seeFig. 2 ). Theleg portions 15 are preferably so long that theupper wire 12, when mounting the set ofhooks 3 on the carrier element 7, will abut exactly against the wall 8 ordoor 9 to which the carrier element is attached. - The fastening device also comprises at least one
hook element 17 with which the set ofhooks 3 is hooked to the carrier element 7 by the hook element being inserted into a selectedslot 11 in the carrier element. Thehook element 17 is fixedly attached to thebase portion 14 of the fastening device, for instance by welding, soldering or gluing.Figs 3 and 4 show a substantially U-shapedhook device 18 fixedly attached to thebase portion 14, and ahook element 17 is formed at each free end of thehook device 18.Fig. 5 illustrates schematically a single hook element attached to thebase portion 14. However, the hook element is not restricted to the design shown inFigs 1-5 but may have an optional design which is then complementary to the shape of the through holes in the carrier element, into which through holes the set of hooks etc. is to be hooked. - In order to further stabilise the suspension of the set of
hooks 3 from the carrier element, its lower wire 19 (or the lowermost wire of thebasket 1 adjacent to the carrier element) is bent at the centre of the set of hooks in the same way as theupper wire 12 to form a portion or recess 21 extending into the set of hooks etc. This portion will then also surround and abut against the carrier element 7. -
Figs 3-5 illustrate thehook element 17 positioned essentially on the same level as thecentral portion 13 or theupper wire 12. The hook element, however, can be arranged at a level different from the central portion, i.e. above thecentral portion 14. - Reference is now made to
Figs 6-10 , which illustrate a different embodiment of thefastening device 6 according to the invention. In this embodiment, the fastening device is not formed in one piece with thebasket 1, the set ofhooks 3 etc., but is a separate unit which is fixedly attached to the basket etc., for instance by welding, soldering, gluing, in a recess therein (seeFig. 6 ). Thebase portion 14 andleg portions 15 of thefastening device 6 are made of a metal sheet bent in U shape and withhook elements 17 formed in the base portion. A pair offlanges 23, to which the basket etc. is attached, project perpendicularly from the free ends of theleg portions 15, i.e. their ends not connecting to thebase portion 14. The flanges are formed in one piece with the rest of the fastening device. Alternatively, the fastening device can be made of a material other than metal, such as reinforced plastic. - Each
hook element 14 is formed as a tongue punched from thebase portion 14 and having a first portion, or connectingportion 24, a second orintermediate portion 25 and a third portion or end portion 26. Theintermediate portion 25 extends essentially parallel with thebase portion 14 and is positioned by means of the connectingportion 24 at a distance from theinner surface 27 of the base portion that corresponds to the material thickness of the carrier element 7. In order to facilitate the insertion of the tongue into theslot 11 of the carrier element, the end portion 26 is angled away from thebase portion 14 and forms an acute angle to this. Preferably, theintermediate portion 25 adjacent to the end portion 26 is positioned at a shorter distance from theinner surface 27 of the base portion than is theintermediate portion 25 adjacent to the connectingportion 24, in which case the hook element will clamp thefastening device 6 to the carrier element 7. -
Fig. 10 schematically presents an alternative embodiment of thehook element 17. In this embodiment, the angled end portion 26 has been replaced by a hook-shapedend 28 with a slidingsurface 29 and anabutment surface 31. The distance between theabutment surface 31 and the connectingportion 24 of the hook element is somewhat greater than the distance between the lower edge of aslot 11 in the carrier rail and the upper edge of a subjacent slots 11', seeFig. 6 . When inserting the hook element ortongue 17 into theslot 11, the slidingsurface 29 will press theintermediate portion 25 outwards and the hook-shapedend 28 will finally, owing to the elasticity of the hook element, snap into the subjacent slot 11', thereby locking the fastening device to the carrier element by means of theabutment surface 31. - To achieve optimal stability in the hooking-on of a
basket 1 etc. to a carrier element 7, the fastening device comprises at least two separate (pairs) hook elements which are aligned with each other in the longitudinal direction of the fastening device, as shown, for instance, inFigs 8 and 9 . The lower edge or bottom of the basket etc. is in any case formed with an inwardly extending portion orrecess 21, as indicated in connection withFig. 3 . - By the fastening device according to the invention being insertedly arranged inside the periphery of the basket etc., the basket will also be easier to packet.
- In the illustrated embodiments of the storage system, all baskets, paper roll holders, sets of hooks etc. are shown to be made of wires. As will be easily understood, they may, however, be made of an optional material, without deviating from the inventive idea. For instance, the basket can be made of sheet metal and then according to
Figs 6-10 the fastening device is conveniently formed in one piece with the side of the basket facing the wall or the like. -
