Further scope of applicability of the present application will become more apparent from the detailed description given hereinafter. However, it should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating exemplary embodiments of the disclosure, are given by way of illustration only, since various changes and modifications within the spirit and scope of the disclosure will become apparent to those skilled in the art from this detailed description.
The present disclosure will become more fully understood from the detailed description given herein below and the accompanying drawings which are given by way of illustration only, and thus are not limitative of the present disclosure and wherein:
In the following detailed description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the disclosed embodiments. It will be apparent, however, that one or more embodiments may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are schematically shown in order to simplify the drawing.
In this embodiment, as shown in
In one embodiment, the spacer plate NP1 is consisted of a first plate half N1 and a second plate half N1. The first plate half N1 is angularly connected with the corresponding installation plate NP2, the second plate half N2 is opposite to angularly connect the installation plate NP3, and the first plate half N1 and the second plate half N2 is spaced by the fixation slot HP. The fixation slot HP is spatially connected with the channel H12 inside the main post body BA. In this embodiment, the introduction holes HS are distributed along the edge of the first plate half N1.
In this disclosure, the installation hole HR can be formed as a key hole. Practically, the installation hole HR of this embodiment is consisted of a horizontal opening HR2 and a vertical slot HR3. The horizontal opening HR2, spatially connected between the corresponding introduction hole HS and vertical slot HR3, is open to one side of the installation plate NP2 and extends in a width direction LH of the installation plate NP2 till hitting the vertical slot HR3 in a connection manner, and the vertical slot HR3 is further extended perpendicularly in a length direction LP of the installation plate NP2.
In this embodiment, the storage layer 120 further includes a plurality of protruding structures E1 and a plurality of mounting brackets E2. Each of the mounting brackets E2 is mounted to the corresponding second transverse constraint member 126 via two said protruding structures E1. The protruding structure E1 can be a rivet, as shown in
Practically, the mounting bracket E2 includes a first piece E21, a second piece E22 and a third piece E23. The first piece E21 is bent to connect one side of the second piece E22, while the third piece E23 is bent to connect another side of the second piece E22. In addition, the third piece E23 and the first piece E21 is separated by a distance. While in assembling, the protruding structure E1 is sent to penetrate through a hole E212 of the corresponding first piece E21 and then a hole 126B of the corresponding second constraint frame 126A, such that the first piece E21 can be fixed to the corresponding second transverse constraint member 126.
In this embodiment, the installation hole can be structured to only a single side of the post combination, but not limited thereto. Refer to
In summary, in the combined type shelf provided by this disclosure, since the installation hole of the post combination is disposed at the spacer plate (at a lateral side thereof), thus a simple lateral push to buckle would be enough.
Further, with the protruding structure (rivet) and the mounting bracket (hook) to engage the installation hole and the fixation slot of the post combination, respectively, such a dual engagement design provides sufficient stability to the entire combined type shelf.
In addition, the number of the protruding structures (rivet) used in one storage layer is reduced, such that the cost can be reduced, and the assembly time can be saved.
Further, the installation holes of this disclosure can be provided to one or two sides of the post combination, such that the shelf can be horizontally extended, and thus the entire assembly flexibility can be improved.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by the present disclosure.
