Display structure
The present invention discloses a display structure, comprising two vertical bars, two cross bars, a plurality of partition bars, and a plurality of partition parts to form a unit body. The short sides of the assembly panels on both ends of the partition bar are positioned into the gaps between the two wing panels in the vertical bar and then the partition bar is rotated to engage with the two clip grooves and the two wing panels, and a clip tenon is sandwiched by the two wing panels so as to form a plate-shape unit body. Further, the top of the partition part is snapped into the slide groove with the bottom of the partition bar protruding a partition panel such that the space between the partition parts is partitioned into accommodating spaces.
The present invention relates to a display structure and, in particular to a display structure which can adjust partition widths according to the sizes of displayed objects and firmly secure objects of different thicknesses, achieving the aim of flexible display.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONIt has been a popular practice to use cabinet or rack to display or receive objects for many years. To receive displayed objects of different sizes or thicknesses, traditional cabinet or rack has gradually evolved from fixed structure to flexible assembly, rendering greater convenience to consumers.
Existing assembled storage racks for receiving or storing flat objects, CD or DVD cases for example, as shown in
The aforementioned storage rack A may be used for receiving or storing plat objects in the storage areas D, CD or DVD cases for example. However, when the objects, CD cases for example, stored or displayed, they are disposed with their sides facing users or consumers, causing inconvenient for viewing or appreciating to consumers. Also, after the storage rack A is assembled, the sizes and the spacings of storage areas D are fixed, and thus unable to adjust. Bigger CD cases, for example, are unable to be fitted in. Furthermore, there is no fastening structure for securing the flat objects stored, CD cases for example, once they are put in place. Consequently, the aforementioned storage rack A above is suitable to receive objects, but fails to meet the demands of displaying. It is necessary to provide a new storage structure to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks.
