A modular shelving made of metal or other suitable material, having a plurality of risers or vertical elements with a polygonal section connected by horizontal elements such as longitudinal members with a lower side facing the floor surface and cross members to form the support for shelves. On two or more faces of the side surface of the risers, are provided a plurality of shaped recesses having depth (H) and defined by opposite walls being horizontally and vertically aligned among them, put near the vertexes or edges of the risers or vertical elements and cooperating with complementary shaped and depressed impressions formed on a hose clamp comprising opposite horizontal parallel branches and a vertical branch embracing the same risers and engaging with at least one longitudinal member and/or a cross member to which they are constrained by connection border elements.

The invention claimed is: 1. A modular shelving (10) made of metal such as stainless steel or other suitable material, comprising: (a) a plurality of risers or vertical elements (12) each having a polygonal section defining a side surface having a plurality of faces; (b) a plurality of shaped reces
The invention claimed is: 1. A modular shelving (10) made of metal such as stainless steel or other suitable material, comprising: (a) a plurality of risers or vertical elements (12) each having a polygonal section defining a side surface having a plurality of faces; (b) a plurality of shaped recesses (20) formed on at least two of the faces of each riser side surface, said plurality of recess (20) being horizontally and vertically aligned on said at least two side surface faces of the respective risers; (c) a plurality of horizontal elements including longitudinal members (14) and cross members (16) connected to said risers (12) to form supports for shelves (18); and (d) a plurality of metal clamps (24, 24', 24") adapted for connecting said horizontal elements to said risers and comprising opposite horizontal parallel branches (26) and a vertical branch (31), each clamp embracing a respective riser and having depressions (28) formed thereon shaped and developed complimentary to the recesses (20) on said riser so as to engage therein to secure the clamp on the riser, each clamp engaging with at least one longitudinal member and/or cross member to which the opposite horizontal parallel branches of said clamp are constrained by a transverse connection element (34) which passes through aligned openings in said opposite horizontal parallel branches and said at least one longitudinal member and/or cross member. 2. The shelving according to claim 1, wherein each riser has an X and Y axis and said shaped recesses (20) are obtained by moulding or partial embossing and represent a quadrangular base and an embossing that conically develops towards the X and Y axes of the risers (12) ending with a basically tapered portion. 3. The shelving according to claim 1, wherein shaped recesses (20) have a depth (H) comprised between 1.0 and 3.0 mm. 4. The shelving according to claim 1, wherein the recesses (20) are formed near the vertexes or edges (21) along all the faces of the risers (12) and they are horizontally and vertically aligned among them, the recesses are formed having opposite walls (23-25) which are inclined with a different angulation. 5. The shelving according to claim 1, wherein the metal clamp (24) is constituted by a "U" shaped thin sheet defining opposite and parallel branches (26), at least one of the depressions (28) whose shape and development are complementary to the recesses (20) of the risers (12) is obtained on the opposite horizontal and parallel branches (26) of the clamp (24). 6. The shelving according to claim 1, wherein the metal clamp (24) is provided with at least one of the depressions (28) along a vertical branch (31). 7. The shelving according to claim 1, wherein the metal clamp (24) is provided with a pass-through opening (30-32), near relevant ends of the opposite and parallel branches (26), at least one pass-through opening being delimited by a collar (36) with inner thread (38), in the openings (30-32) the connection element (34) is inserted, and engages a longitudinal member (14) and/or a cross member (16) provided with a complementary pass-through hole. 8. The shelving according to claim 7, wherein the connection element (34) is constituted by a pin comprising a head (42) having a shaped seat (44) for an operation wrench, a rod (46) and an integral end (48) provided with a thread being complementary to inner thread (38 , of the collar (36) of the metal clamp (24); the pin being provided with two conical portions (50-52) which are respectively obtained close to the head (42) and of the threaded end (48) of the pin. 9. The shelving according to claim 8, wherein the pass-through holes obtained on the longitudinal members (14) and on the cross members (16) and the openings (30-32) of the clamp (24) are slightly misaligned among them before the tightening of the pin (34) engaging into the thread (38) of the collar (36) of the metal clamp (24). 10. The shelving according to claim 7, wherein the metal clamps (24, 24', 24") are provided with a stiffening rib (40) having a semicircular profile and a vertical development, obtained near the pass-through opening (30) opposite to the opening (32) delimited by the collar (36). 11. The shelving according to claim 1, wherein the metal clamp (24) is constituted by two complementary half parts (24', 24"), each of them being provided with pass-through openings (30-32) and of depressions (28). 12. The shelving according to claim 1, which comprises a plurality of spacing elements or section dividers (62), each being constituted by a thin sheet which can be folded onto itself and suitable for embracing a longitudinal member (14) or a cross member (16), each section divider being provided with two coupled tongues (64, 66) on its upper side, which can be snap engaged through relevant projections and recesses (68-70). 13. The shelving according to the claim 12, wherein the section divider (62) is provided with at least one shaped depression (28) to engage with the correspondent recesses or openings obtained along a lower side (14') of the longitudinal members (14). 14. The shelving according to claim 1, wherein the longitudinal members (14) and/or cross members (16), are provided with a plurality of holes (56) on their lower side facing a floor surface.
