Description

Editorial Note 2012101692 The Description, Claims and Drawings are individually page numbered 1 DESCRIPTION Title of Invention ALUMINUM EXTRUSION PROFILE USED IN MODULAR CABINET/SHELF (SIDE COLUMN) Technical Field [0001] This renovation patent relates to an aluminum extrusion profile, especially involving a modular cabinet/shelf that can be used as a side column. It belongs to the application of aluminum extrusion profile technology. Background Art [0002] The current side column aluminum of the modular cabinet/shelf on the market, always struggle on its bulky volume, fragility, not extendable, and the limited choice, therefore not able to meet the needs of the business needs, however, cabinet/shelf used for commercial space has become a modem business trends. Summary of Invention 2 [0003] The proposed aluminum extrusion profile, aimed to overcome the above defects that trapped existing technology, will fully meet the rapid increasing commercial needs by its compact, solid, ingenious structure design. [0004] The technical solution can be discover by analysis the structure of the profile. Overall it forms in square, with side length of 25mm and the thickness of the edge is 2mm. It comes with two decoration sides and two functional sides. 3 notches located in the functional sides, two of them used for connect to other extrusion profile, combined into the framework for the modular cabinet/shelf. One is used for install glass and shelf holder, the space inside is able to fit the wire for the light of the cabinet. The ribs that divided space is perpendicular to the side, supports the strength of the profile. [0005] The advantage of this aluminum extrusion profile are: each section are supporting each other, reasonable force distribution so that it is solid enough to support. Compact interior size but fully functional. Extensional that can expand the scope of use. Furthermore, the interior space is able to mount electrical cable, as well as install the glass holder, which are mobile and without drill in the profile to fit in. The overall construction is simply, compact, stylish and modem, the whole system can achieve standardization and serialization. The shape can be modified to suit for different purpose. Easy installation and assembly, can be reuse for different purpose, therefore are environmental friendly and recycling. [0006] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the aluminum extrusion profile. Description of Embodiments 3 [0007] As shown in figure 1, section (1), (2), (3) and (4) are the four sides of the square profile, each of them are 25mm with thickness 2mm. Section (4) and section (15), section (16) are the inner side of the profile. Notch (7) between section (4) and (16) is used for supporting adjustable glass holder and shelf holder. Also the interior space for notch (7) has been maximize in order to fit two pair of double leads electrical wire, which can support the lights located at upper level of the shelf. On the same side, notch (6) between section (4) and (15) is used for connect other profiles that describe in our other patent application. The unique shape of notch (6) is design to fit the head of the connecting lock that we create for this system. Notch (5) between section (3) and (17) is similar, when connecting with other profile, it can form a side column sub-system of the modular cabinet. [0008] When connecting with other multifunction dual-slot aluminum extrusion profile by our designed lock, longitudinally, a MDF board or chipboard as the side or rear panel can be insert into notch, therefore, the whole system can be easily and quickly assembly. [0009] In order to improve the supporting strength if the extrusion profile, section 10 and section 11 are connect with section (12) and (13), together with section (14), a triangular force will be formed, so that maximum the stability of the structure. [0010] As seen in figure 2, the gap for notch (5) and notch (6) are 4.4mm with depth 7mm. The gap can be insert a 4mm MDF board or chipboard which is the most common in the market. The width for notches (7) is 4.2mm and gap (8), used for adjustable glass holder and wire width 8.9 mm and depth 16.7mm. The connector interface (9) has a length of 14mm and a width of 14mm. [0011] Section (10) and section (11) used as the baffle, length 8.74mm and thickness of 2mm. Section (12) and (13) used as the stopper of the lock, length 5.8 1mm and thickness of 1.5mm.

4 Section (14) has a thickness of 1.5mm. [0012] The rear side of the profile section (15) length 5.8mm and thickness 2mm. Section (16), for supporting glass and shelf board, length 3.8mm and thickness 2mm and the inner side of the profile section (17) length 5.8mm, thickness 2mm. [0013] The inner angle between section (12) and (3) is 1210 and outer angle of 59'. [0014] The inner angle between section (13) and (4) is 1210 and outer angle of 59. [0015] The inner angle between section (10) and (12) is 1210 and outer angle of 420. [0016] The inner angle between section (11) and (13) is 1210 and outer angle of 420.
