Description

Editorial Note 2012101693 The Description, Claims and Drawings are individually page numbered DESCRIPTION Title of Invention ALUMINUM EXTRUSION PROFILE USED IN MODULAR CABINET/SHELF (MIDDLE COLUMN) Technical Field [0001] This renovation patent relates to an aluminum extrusion profile, especially involving a modular cabinet/shelf and used as a middle column. It belongs to the application of aluminum extrusion profile technology. Background Art [0002] The current middle 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, compact and functional 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. It comes with one decoration sides and three functional sides. 5 notches located in the functional sides, three of them used for connect to other extrusion profile on left, right and cross direction, combined into the framework for the modular cabinet/shelf. Two 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 connecting to the side rib, supports the strength of the profile. [0005] The advantage of this aluminum extrusion profile are: each section are supporting each other, the whole system is in symmetrical, equity force distribution so that it is solid enough to support the weight of the shelf. 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 installing the glass holder, which are mobile and without drill in the profile to fit in. The overall construction is simply, compact, stylish and modem, 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. [0007] Figure 2 is a schematic angle diagram of the aluminum extrusion profile.

3 Description of Embodiments [0008] As shown in figure 1, section (1), (2), (3) and (4) are part of the four sides of the square profile, each side are 25mm, and section (3) ad section (4) are symmetric. The back side (2) is divided into section (23), section (24), section (25) and section (26). Notch (11) is between section (24) and section (25), notch (12) is between section (26) and (23) and they are symmetric as well, holds the glass holder of the both side. Notch (7) is between sections (25) and (26), which connecting to cross section of the shelf. Notch (10) and notch (9) are symmetric as well, they have two functions, firstly the gaps that next to notch (11) and (12) are able to just fit the holder of the glass and shelf, secondly the space inside is enough for two pairs of wire that supply the power to the lights insider the shelf. Notch (5) and notch (6) located on the left and right side of the profile, which connecting to the extensional shelf by designed lock. Section (15) and section (16) are the internal ribs of the profile and they are perpendicular to the front decoration side, so that supporting the strength of the extrusion profile. [0009] 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. [0010] The gap for notch (5) and notch (6) are 4.4mm with depth 6.5mm. 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 4.4mm with depth 5.5mm, and notch (9) and (10), used for install wire, width 7.2mm mm and depth 13.68mm. The gap (11) and (12) are used for adjustable glass holder, width 4mm and depth 4.5mm. Section (13) and (14) with length 5.9mm and thickness 2mm. Section (15) and section (16) with length 8.16mm and thickness 2mm. Section (17) is the center rib of the profile, length 7.6mm and thickness 2mm. Section (18) and (19) length 5mm and thickness 0.86mm.

4 Section (20) is length 8.4mm and thickness 0.84mm. Section (21) and (22) are length 5.8mm and thickness 2mm. Section (23) and (24) length 2.7mm and thickness 2mm. [0011] The inner angle between section (14) and (15) is 1220. The inner angle between section (13) and (16) is 122'. [0012] The inner angle between section (14) and (3) is 580 and outer angle of 122'. The inner angle between section (13) and (4) is 58' and outer angle of 122'. [0013] The inner angle between section (17) and (14) is 58'. The inner angle between section (17) and (13) is 58'. [0014] The inner angle between section (17) and (18) is 1220. The inner angle between section (17) and (19) is 1220. [0015] The inner angle between section (18) and (20) is 1230. The inner angle between section (19) and (20) is 1230. [0016] The inner angle between section (18) and (25) is 57'. The inner angle between section (19) and (26) is 570.
