  • Patent number: 7497344
    Abstract: A supporting bracket is designed to connect to a wall-mount rack by inserting hooks provided at a rear end of the bracket into holes provided on a front side of a vertical post of the wall-mount rack. The supporting bracket includes two parallelly spaced side wall portions, on top edges of which retaining slots are formed to enable the support of two shelves at two opposite lateral sides of the bracket. Two rails may be connected to two sides of the bracket for supporting a drawer-type container. A hanger may be connected to a lower side of the bracket to support a crossbar for holding suit hangers. The supporting bracket is therefore a multipurpose and highly efficient supporting member very practical for use on the wall-mount rack for supporting different types of holding members.

  • Patent number: 7494101
    Abstract: A hook-on type rail includes a main body, a front hooking member adjustably connected to a rear end of the main body, and a second hooking member adjustably connected to a front end of the main body. The first hooking member has two sideward projected hooks for firmly located in two insertion holes on a rear post of a sectional rack. The second hooking member includes two sideward projected lugs for fitly inserting into two insertion holes on a front post of the sectional rack to prevent the rail from moving up or down, and two vertically movable hooks bearing against one side of the two lugs for extending into and hooking on the same insertion holes to firmly hold the rail to the front post. Therefore, the rail may be stably hooked on the posts of the sectional rack for a drawer or the like to safely slide thereon.

  • Patent number: 6971528
    Abstract: A connecting structure for sectional rack includes a plurality of vertical posts, horizontal shelves, and connecting members. Each of the vertical posts is provided with at least one row of engaging holes, with which upper and lower hooks at an end of each connecting member are engaged. A pad is attached to each connecting member, so that a first side of the pad fitly bears against the vertical post. A second side of the pad opposite to the first side is a downward and outward inclined surface. Each of the horizontal shelves has an outer cover provided at each corner thereof for putting on the connecting member, so that an internal inclined surface of the outer cover pushes the inclined surface of the pad against the vertical post to enable a firm connection of the shelf, the connecting member, and the vertical post to one another.

  • Patent number: 6901633
    Abstract: A door hinge is adapted to connect a door to a vertical metal post of a sectional rack, so that an enclosed storage space may be provided on the sectional rack. The door hinge includes a fixing member for connecting to the door, a hanger for hooking to the vertical post, an adjusting member connected to the hanger, and a turning member, a spring leaf, and a torsion spring mounted between the adjusting member and the fixing member. A cushion pad is positioned between the hanger and the post and forced against the post by a tightening screw, so that two hooks provided on the hanger may be tightly engaged with hook eyes provided on the post. The door connected to the fixing member may therefore be pivotally connected to the vertical post.

  • Patent number: 6524025
    Abstract: A means for linearly connecting two non-circular pipes mainly includes a bar, upper and lower pads put around the bar, and a collar. The bar has two externally threaded ends adapted to screw into internally threaded holes preformed in the non-circular pipes. The upper and lower pads respectively have a cross section the same as that of a bore of the non-circular pipes, and are divided into an inner section and an outer section by a flange, such that the outer sections of said upper and said lower pads can be inserted into the pipes to synchronously rotate along with the pipes. The collar has cross section and outer diameter the same as that of the pipes and is initially put around the inner section of the upper pad, so that the collar can be downward moved to enclose the inner sections of the upper and the lower pads at the same time to confine them and accordingly the two pipes to a vertically aligned position.
