Detailed Description

A rack according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention to those skilled in the art. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without some of these specific details. Furthermore, it is to be understood that the invention is not to be limited to the specific embodiments described. Rather, any combination of the following features and elements, whether related to different embodiments or not, is contemplated to implement the present invention. Thus, the following aspects, features, embodiments and advantages are merely illustrative and should not be considered elements or limitations of the claims except where explicitly recited in a claim. Moreover, in the following description, like parts are indicated with like reference numerals.

Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of a shelf 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The shelf 10 may be used to hold dishes and/or bowls, etc. The following description will be given taking a carrier tray as an example.

The rack 10 includes a rack body 11 and a carrier bracket 12 coupled to the rack body 11, the carrier bracket 12 for carrying a tray (not shown). The carrier 12 comprises two ring members 3. The load carrier 12 further comprises first and second spacer bars 4, 4 'connected to each ring 3 to separate the ring 3 into first and second load bearing zones 30, 30'. Thus, a first disc may be carried in the first carrying area 30 by means of the first spacer bar 4 and a part of the ring 3, a second disc may be carried in the second carrying area 30 'by means of the second spacer bar 4' and another part of the ring 3, or a third disc having a larger size than the first and second discs may be carried by means of the ring 3 itself only. By providing a dividing bar that divides the ring 3 into a plurality of load bearing areas, this further improves space utilization and meets the need to carry bowls and/or plates of different sizes.

Obviously, it should be understood that the shelf 10 is not limited to comprising only two ring-shaped members 3, but may comprise only one or more than two ring-shaped members 3; each ring 3 is also limited to only two separating rods, but may include more than two separating rods to separate each ring 3 into more load bearing zones.

Each annular element 3 may have a substantially square shape so as to be able to carry discs of various configurations, such as rectangular discs, square discs, circular discs, elliptical discs, etc. It is however clear that the annular element 3 may have any other suitable shape, such as circular, oval, etc.

As shown in fig. 1, the first and second separator rods 4, 4' are straight and arranged parallel to the sides of the annular member 3. It will be apparent, however, that the spacer bar may have any other suitable configuration. For example, in the example in which the annular element 3 has a circular shape, the separating rods may accordingly have an arc shape, in order to better retain a disc or bowl having a substantially circular cross section. The first and second spacer bars 4, 4' may also have different shapes from each other.

The first and second spacer bars 4, 4 'may be connected to the lower surface of the respective annular element 3 so that the first and second spacer bars 4, 4' do not affect the firm positioning of the discs on the annular element 3 when the discs are carried by the annular element 3 itself only.

Non-slip pads 5 may be provided on the ring 3 to prevent the disc from slipping off the ring 3. Similarly, non-slip mats may also be provided on the first and second spacer bars 4, 4'. The non-slip mat may be made of a flexible material such as silicone. The non-slip mat 5 may have a cylindrical shape with slits made in the sides of the cylinder to allow easy mounting of the non-slip mat 5 to the ring and/or the spacer bar.

The frame body 11 includes: a first upright 2 and a second upright 2 ', a first leg 1 and a second leg 1' connected to the first upright 2, and a third leg 1 "and a fourth leg 1 '" connected to the second upright 2'. A ring 3 is connected to the first 2 and second 2 'uprights and is located between the first 2 and second 2' uprights. Other forms of shelves are envisaged. For example, a one-piece frame with the uprights integral with the feet is contemplated, as is a frame including any suitable number (e.g., one, three) of feet and/or any suitable number (e.g., three, four) of uprights.

The ring member 3 may be detachably coupled to the frame body 11. In the particular embodiment shown in fig. 1, the carrying bracket 12 further comprises a first connecting rod 6 and a second connecting rod 6 ', one end of the first connecting rod 6 and of the second connecting rod 6 ' being integral with the annular element 3, the other end of the first connecting rod 6 and of the second connecting rod 6 ' having a bend, said bends of the first connecting rod 6 and of the second connecting rod 6 ' being engageable in a first sleeve element 7 and in a second sleeve element 7 ' provided respectively on the first upright 2 and on the second upright 2 ' so as to removably connect the annular element 3 to the first upright 2 and to the second upright 2 '. This allows for convenient transport and storage of the shelf 10.

It is envisaged that the ring 3 may be removably attached to the frame 11 by any suitable means. For example, the ring 3 can be screwed to the first 2 and second 2' uprights by means of a bolt-and-nut connection.

As shown in fig. 1, the carrier bracket 12 comprises two ring members 3, which ring members 3 are arranged one above the other and at a distance from each other. The two annular elements 3 may have the same configuration and be connected to the first upright 2 and to the second upright 2' in the same way. Obviously, it should be understood that the two annular elements 3 may also have different configurations (for example different in terms of shape or arrangement of the spacer bars), or be connected to the first upright 2 and the second upright 2' in a different manner.

The first leg 1 and the second leg 1 ' of the frame body 11 are formed integrally with each other at one end thereof and formed in a substantially chevron shape, and the third leg 1 ' and the fourth leg 1 ' are formed integrally with each other at one end thereof and formed in a substantially chevron shape. With this configuration, the shelf 10 can be stably supported on a support surface such as a table top and occupy less space of the support surface.

Other shapes of the legs are also conceivable, for example a first leg 1 and a second leg 1 'being integral with each other and forming an inverted U-shape at one end thereof, a third leg 1 "and a fourth leg 1'" being integral with each other and forming an inverted U-shape at one end thereof.

The first and second legs 1 and 1 ' and the third and fourth legs 1 ″ and 1 ″ ' are arranged parallel to each other and perpendicular to the plane of the first and second columns 2 and 2 ', so that the shelf 10 can be firmly supported on a supporting surface without being easily tilted.

Shelf 10 may also include a handle 8 connected to first upright 2 and second upright 2' to facilitate movement of shelf 10, particularly if items are carried on shelf 10. The first upright 2 and the second upright 2' may be in the same plane as the handle 8.

The substantially square-shaped ring 3 has two sides parallel to the plane of the first upright 2, the second upright 2' and the handle 8, and two other sides perpendicular to this plane. The first spacer bar 4 and the second spacer bar 4' are arranged parallel to and on either side of the plane. This allows for convenient placement and removal of the tray and food therein without interference from the handle.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments, the present invention is not limited thereto. Various changes and modifications can be made by one skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, and the scope of the invention is to be determined by the appended claims.
