Assembled shelf
The present invention provides an improved structure of the assembled shelf. The invention includes a main frame having two vertical side racks and several sets of shelves. Each shelf is placed inside the two vertical side racks. There is a vertical bar of the vertical side rack, which includes a main bar and at least one secondary bar. The secondary bar is placed on the sides of the main bar, and the space is formed by the distance of the horizontal bar. A frame is placed on both sides of the shelf, and a vertical groove is on both ends. The groove can be connected to the main and secondary bars. By so doing, each shelf and two vertical side racks do not have to use other components to be positioned and are compatible with a common extension, such as vertical side rack, to make the invention more practical.

FIELD OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention relates generally to a structure of assembled shelf, and more particularly to a structure of an assembled shelf that has a vertical groove and bar to position the shelf and vertical side rack.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONWhether it is in a home or business place, an assembled shelf has importance, and through the deliberate efforts in the industry, it now has diversified structures. The current shelf can be divided into a one-piece structure and assembled structure. The main part of the one-piece structure is fixed; therefore, it cannot be taken apart. The main part of the assembled structure is made of the separated components (such as the shelf and side racks). Therefore, it can be taken apart and restored to its separated state. Currently, the assembled shelf is widely accepted by the consumer because of its flexibility. However, the current assembled structure still has the following issues:
1. The components of the current shelf must rely on some hardware (such as screws, nuts) to be positioned; therefore, it must have a tool to achieve the assembling or disassembling. Because the parts of the shelf that need hardware exceeds ten places, it is time consuming.
2. Moreover, if the shelf needs added structure, it must have multiple shelves or stack them on top of each other. Because there is no common structure between them, it lacks a stable connection, and the cost is high as well.
3. The weight limitation is limited when the shelf is being used, and the shelf is unable to take objects that are too heavy. The common solution is to place a board or iron board between the boards or bars to achieve the objective; however, such a solution affects the entire look of the shelf.
4. Most of the time, the conventional shelf places a layer board on the frame and is unable to secure the layer board, so that layer board sometime flips, when it is under the outside force, lacking of stability.
Thus, to overcome the aforementioned problems of the prior art, it would be an advancement in the art to provide an improved structure that can significantly improve the efficacy.
To this end, the inventor has provided the present invention of practicability after deliberate design and evaluation based on years of experience in the production, development and design of related products.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe improved fact of the present invention is described as follows:
1. It is applied so that the shelf and vertical side rack do not need other positioning components to achieve positioning, making the present invention more effective and practical.
2. The secondary bar provides the common vertical side rack commonly used by the shelf, greatly reducing the cost for shelf and being economical.
3. The reinforced stand is placed between the ⊂ shaped bars are to support the strengthen layer board, so that the shelf may hold heavier objects, increasing the practicality.
4. The reinforced stand is assembled, so that the users can add parts.
5. Using the design of the insert groove formed by a bent slab to place the groove over the two sides of the shelf plank, the layer board cannot be lifted, which makes it more stable and beautiful. The bottom of the insert groove protrudes inside more than the top. One end may be inserted into the insert groove on the one side, and the other end may be inserted into the insert groove on the other side, making the assembly more convenient.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWINGS
The features and the advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood upon a thoughtful deliberation of the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in
A vertical bar 30 of the vertical side rack 10 includes a main bar 31 and an inner/outer secondary bar 32 33. The inner/outer secondary bar is placed inside and outside of the main bar 31, and the main bar 31 is spaced between the inner/outer secondary bar 32 33. The space is positioned and formed by the horizontal bar 40.
The sides of the shelf that are corresponding to the vertical side rack has a frame 50, and a vertical groove 51 is placed between two ends of the frame. The position of the groove is connected with the inner second bar 32 of the vertical side rack 10 mentioned above, and the surface 52 of the frame is pushed against the side of the main bar 31.
Through the above structure and design, the shelf 20 and the two vertical side racks 10 do not need other positioning components and assisting tools to achieve positioning. Moreover, the outer secondary bar 33 provides extendable vertical side racks for the shelf as shown in
As shown in
The difference is that a vertical bar 30 of the vertical side rack 10 includes a main bar 31 and a secondary bar 31B. The main and secondary bar are placed in parallel and spaced in between, the space being formed by the horizontal bar 40.
The sides of the shelf 20 that are corresponding to the vertical side rack 10 have a frame 50. A vertical groove 51 is placed between two ends of the frame, and the position of the groove is connected with the main and secondary bar 31 31B mentioned above.
Through the above structure and design, the shelf 20 and the two vertical side racks 10 do not need other positioning components and assisting tools to achieve the positioning. Moreover, the secondary bar 31B provides an extendable vertical side rack for the shelf as shown in
On the other hand, with regard to taking apart the above mentioned structure, the shelf 20 and its vertical side racks 10 may be disassembled into its independent components. When taking it apart, one end of the shelf 20 that has frame 50 is picked up, which makes the groove 51 separate from the inner secondary bar 32. All shelves 20 may be collapsed according to this operational procedure, so it is not repeated.
The main bar 31 and the secondary bars 31B, 32, 33 of the vertical side rack 10 can be circular bars. The sectional surface of the groove 51 of the frame is semi-circular.
Among them, the application for the above mentioned embodiments is that the vertical section of the frame 50 by both sides of the shelf 20 can have a ⊂ shape. Also, a reinforced stand 60 may be placed between the frame 50 on both sides, as shown in
Among them, as shown in
By so doing, a ⊂ shaped insert groove 55 is formed at the bottom of the bent edge 54, and the end of the horizontal slab 71 at the bottom of the bent slab 70 sticks out at the end of the bent edge 54. The insert groove 55 may be placed on both corresponding sides of the bent slab 70, so that the shelf plank 21 can be assembled. Therefore, the shelf can be assembled as different styles of shelf planks (as shown in
