Benefits of technology

[0005]This tends to alleviate the aforementioned problems as it enables a possibility of a far less visible shelving apparatus to be made available.
[0010]More preferably the plastics material is polypropylene. As this material can be injection moulded, this method of manufacturing offers a cheap and ready method of entry into the formation of these book or magazine receiving members.
[0026]This is particularly advantageous as the degree of lateral movement available to the shafts is going to be greater, the longer they are. The ‘exposed’ length of the shafts with this arrangement is going to be more flexible than an identical length of integral shafts that simply project from the bracket. To prevent undue damage to the shafts during use, they could also be partially protected by maintaining them with a pair of jaws such that if a book were to be tapped into the shafts, the penetration of the book would go no further than the start of the jaws thus minimising damage to the shelving apparatus or the book pages.
[0028]This type of arrangement will add a degree of flexibility in one direction that will be greater in an orthogonal direction.

Problems solved by technology

These forms of shelving may be expensive or otherwise difficult to assemble and are highly visible.

Embodiment Construction

[0043]Throughout the specification, the use of the term “integral” is intended to cover not only something which is formed from the outset as one single-entity component, but also anything which whilst being assembled from a plurality of initially disparately produced integers ends up as one overall and normally non-dismantleable structure.

[0044]A shelving apparatus generally referenced 1 comprises a wall mountable bracket 2 and a paperback book receiving member 5 adapted to slidably engage with and lock with the bracket 2.

[0045]The wall bracket 2 comprises an elongate “single piece” aluminium extrusion that is substantially “L” shaped when seen in profile. The upright portion of the “L” shaped bracket 2 in its intended attitude of operation is provided with a number of evenly spaced apart circular apertures (not shown), each possessing a centre point that is substantially the same vertical distance from a line drawn from a top edge of the bracket 2.

[0046]The apertures allow the bra...

Abstract

A book or magazine shelving device (1), comprising a wall mountable bracket (2) having a comb-like book or magazine receiving member (5) with tapered teeth (6). The device holds books or magazines by gripping pages that are fed between the tapered teeth. The taper angle is in the range of 1.5 to 10.0 degrees.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to shelving apparatus for books or magazines and where it is intended to apply to books, it is intended to apply in particular but not exclusively to paper-back books.BACKGROUND ART KNOWN TO THE APPLICANT[0002]Shelving apparatus especially for books has usually involved at least one shelf that either forms part of a free standing bookcase or is permanently fixed to a wall via brackets. If each end of the shelf is not provided with an “upright” to enable books at the end of the shelf to be supported, then “uprights” in the form of heavy moveable bookends which are normally quite ornate in nature may be provided. These forms of shelving may be expensive or otherwise difficult to assemble and are highly visible.[0003]It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide shelving apparatus that will provide consumers with a useful choice. Furthermore, whilst the present invention is embodied in several different aspects...
