Description

Can be overlapping and the rack of estable

The rack that has various kinds in the prior art, wherein many racks that relate to the sort of type that is applied to industrial aspect for example hold the rack of bottle, mail or other article with the form of piling up.Civilian aspect also have some specially designed can be overlapping and the rack of estable, as what can from people's such as Massoudnia U.S. Patent No. 5035335 and No.5152407, be seen.These patents are had by the assignee relevant with the applicant.In these existing patents, can see, shown rack both can one overlaps on another, and can be assembled into multiple height, in addition when they do not use, one of these rack can be nested on another again, reduce its volume during with box lunch shipment, storage or sales displays.These previous racks come down to provide a upright handle at each end near described rack, this one handle handle top and constitute the platform of rack or the surface between the gap is provided, so that the bending leg of above-mentioned adjacent rack can match with the handle of described rise in some modes, so that when lifting two or more described rack, they can fixedly keep together, similarly, when described rack is superimposed, they can be fixed up.

In the prior art, can obtain various types of with other prior art embodiment that overlaps the rack on another, as the U.S. Patent No. 2814390 of Barbier that can be formerly; People's such as Von Stein U.S. Patent No. 4079836; The U.S. Patent No. 2600191 of Beach; People's such as Pfeifer U.S. Patent No. 4805785; The U.S. Patent No. 4821885 of Ondrasick; The U.S. Patent No. 4915238 of Cassel; The U.S. Patent No. 3435958 of Chesley; With can see in the U.S. Patent No. 2975906 of vanDerTog.The shelf of in these existing patents, seeing and the structure of rack than complex structure of the present invention many, in many cases, these shelfs and rack design for some industrial purposes, rather than they are simplified better and are used for civilian storage and pile up household goods or establish the closet aspect.Disclosed a kind of shelf that can be overlapping in the U.S. Patent No. 4444320 of Chap, it is not considered to a kind of shelf of estable type, but discloses the how inside and downward bending of bottom of the leg of this shelf, places so that pass the surface of described shelf.But, although this shelf can be overlapping, but it can not be considered to estable, and, even when on another, being piled up for one in many these shelfs, they can not be held togather, and this is because when they are mentioned, divide the general fully to separate with following shelf owing to be free to slide the shank of described bending.

Main purpose of the present invention provide a kind of can be overlapping and the rack of estable, it provides a uniform platform that passes completely through the rack top of shaping, and not with any member interference that forms described shaping rack, but meanwhile, when one of described rack overlaps on another, the interlock that one or more these racks are kept together is provided,, and they has been separated so that can lift all described racks simultaneously.

Another main purpose of the present invention provides the rack of a previous designs, and this rack also estable get up.

The present invention plans to form a kind of rack of particular type, it has simple design, but be very unique aspect structure, the profile, processing minimum member, but also a kind of noticeable rack is provided, promptly two racks can be overlapping, one can be overlapped on another, help to set up the apotheca of household goods or other article, and meanwhile, when planning many racks storages or shipping, they are easy to quilt cover and build up a kind of very compact state.Each described rack has the upper mounting plate of a planar dimension uniformity, this upper mounting plate all provides smooth transition from this to that, and width is also similar, and the member without any further raising can easily store thereon so that guarantee article as desired.Each described rack is at each end of formed platform, and more specifically saying so becomes to have the leg of downward bending at each dihedral, to make its rising when standing this rack in one plane.The bottom of each rack has an outwards foot section of bending, the width of this foot section is slightly smaller than the distance between the grid that forms described upper surface platform, so that described foot section can be inserted in the grid on the immediate angle that forms described surface platform, and be placed on below the transverse bar of any formation rack platform end, to guarantee that even working as many racks overlaps, and bear under the condition of lifting force, these overlapping racks also can interconnect.One transverse integral connecting rod is provided between each foot section of rack, this transverse integral connecting rod is arranged on the slightly upwards position that is positioned at the foot section on the angle that forms on this rack, when a pair of or more rack overlapped on another in one of aforesaid mode, described transverse integral connecting rod can rest on any longitudinal rod of the rack surface platform below forming.

Another unique distinction of the present invention provides the formation method of described rack.This rack generally can be processed into two-dimensional structure, the pin of the leg that the rack that supplies to be scheduled to can be used and the welding in position of transverse link part, perhaps form by described bulk metal silk structure bending, in approximate intermediate portion surface platform is set then, described surface platform is by the upper end bar, the wire trellis that forms platform itself forms, through after this assembling, the leg of described rack can be bent and forms other angle simply downwards if necessary, thereby, and allow their superimposed and intussusceptions in foregoing mode for last finished product rack provides desirable rise height.

Do not comprise any wire longitudinally on the surface of formed rack platform, and only be the transverse bar on the described surface of a series of formation, be appreciated that, when overlapping of described rack on another, these racks can not keep the rising state, because these legs will be are only slided from the surface platform of lower floor's rack, and can not keep being suspended in its desirable raised position.Therefore, can provide various types of protrusions in the lower end of pressing close to each rack shank branch, these protuberances can be formed by the whole bending of the wire that forms leg, perhaps will make good member welding thereon, described protuberance is along horizontal expansion, then with the side that forms the surface platform that rack rises vertically on wire cooperates, in case with their insertions and be mounted in a pair of rack one when overlapping on another, just can prevent the further decline of its leg.Yet, rack with this structure and characteristic also can also be made into a relevant linear structure, and be convenient to that its makes at initial stage and the stacking of these racks when collection is adorned, can be with all these members spot welding in position, except that described structure protuberance, but form also preform of the pin of described leg lower part and connecting rod, then, these racks are with this state shipping, and just before they are coated, carry out subsequently bending in the destination, transport on the market at last and conclude the business.Because described rack has simple structure and makes with member seldom, there is not part movable or that cooperatively interact again, so the ad hoc approach of making and assemble the rack of this structure is particularly suitable for for example being undertaken by overseas manufacturer the manufacturing at initial stage, shipping is to the last assembly plant of destination, and then carry out last bending, apply, spray paint or final surface treatment, shipping is put on display, is gone on the market and sell in client's hand then.

Therefore, main purpose of the present invention provide a kind of can be overlapping and the rack of estable, it generally can be produced two-dimensional structure or linear product, is bent into it subsequently again and uses shape.

Another object of the present invention provides a rack, and this rack can overlapping and intussusception, and by minimum member production.

A further object of the invention provides a kind of rack, this rack simplicity of design, structure is very solid reliable, and when overlaping, a pair of or more described rack provides the member that it is together with each other, and they also are easy to be opened and be nested in together, take little space.

Another purpose of the present invention provides a kind of rack, and the superincumbent horizontal storage surf zone of the surface platform of this rack is interior without any that rise or outstanding member.

Another purpose of the present invention provides a kind of rack, this rack can overlapping and intussusception, its production cost is low, use very easy, therefore allow the owner of family simply easily to assemble, the rack of this design promptly can be used for civilian aspect, even is used for assembling a closet, or similar aspect.

This aspect also have a purpose provide a kind of can be overlapping and the rack of estable, it is easy to all can use in the shop even in factory in commercial use.

By reading the content of the present invention provide here and with reference to the accompanying drawings in conjunction with the description of its preferred embodiment, it is clearer that the such-and-such purpose of the present invention will become for a person skilled in the art.

In these accompanying drawings, especially Fig. 1 to Fig. 3 disclose of the present invention can be overlapping and the rack 1 of estable.This rack comprises that one has the wire of along continuous straight runs setting or the peripheral frame of bar 2 and 3 at least, although seemingly form these connecting rods of surface platform 6, if their enough solid these particular elements that just can form the rack that is constituted, but described rack also can comprise end bar 4 and 5.Each end at described rack provides decurved leg 7, has formed an outward extending pin or sole 8 in the bottom of every one leg.Each angle that these legs and pin are all pressed close to described rack is provided with.Integrally formed or a be fixed up transverse link or a footing 9 is arranged between described two pin 8, and it is for realizing that purpose role of the present invention will be described later.

Get the bid shown in the mark 10 as Fig. 2, described leg can vertically be provided with or slightly outwards be provided with angularly or outwards bow action setting, therefore, as shown in Figure 5, when being placed on of rack on another, is convenient to this a pair of rack is nested in together.In addition, slightly outwards be provided with owing to leg 7 as previously mentioned, so as shown in Figure 4, when one of a pair of or more rack overlaps on another, and with the pin 8 of described rack one end be inserted into form below in the grid structure of rack surface platform 6 after, after the pin 8 of this rack opposite end is given its leg 7 inside biasings or reinforcing overcoming its intrinsic screen resilience, can be passed down through the rack surface platform of lower floor and be provided with, like this, when assembling, just can provide a pair of rack that combines very solidly.

As shown in Figure 4, the width dimensions of the pin 8 of formed rack is slightly smaller than the size of the grid structure that constitutes surface platform 6, thereby described pin can easily therefrom pass then and unclamps, in case when one in the rack overlaps on another like this, be used for providing a mutual biased connection for a pair of or more racks.As further shown in Figure 4, when a pair of rack overlaps, the transverse link 9 that constitutes a pair of pin assembly can rest on the wire 11 that is provided with along its length, so that like that when on the overlapping rack in its lower section with described rack, prevent that the rack of top adjacency from further descending as mentioned.

As previously described, as shown in Figure 5, when not in use or when they are loaded and transported, when storage or sales displays, one or more described racks 1 can be nested in together.

Shown in Fig. 6-8 like that, form foregoing can be overlapping and during estable type rack, these racks are produced linearity configuration as shown in Figure 7 at first, wherein lateral side wire 2 and 3 side linear array along the rack that will form, pin and transverse link 9 will be bent and form or formed by the welded wire of formed thereby, before being bent to the shape of manufactured goods, finish a rack that is generally two-dimensional shapes substantially when its leg.And when this position, the various horizontal and vertical wire 11 and 12 of formation surface platform is arranged and is prepared spot welding, so that a just initial stage shape of the rack before its leg bends to a upright position to be provided.But, for shape as shown in Figure 7, when described rack formed with this form, they were easy to be overlayed on another by one, and packagedly be transported to a remote destination, they can be bent to spendable shape in mode shown in Figure 11 in the destination.When last bending, the screen resilience rack leg required according to leg can vertically be provided with as shown in figure 11, or slightly be arc setting as shown in Figure 2, when overlapping on another, the surface platform of the rack of these legs and lower floor is connected with each other with one in the convenient rack.And as shown in Figures 9 and 10, the wire trellis that forms surface platform 6 can be configured to substantially in peripheral frame 2 to 5 scopes, perhaps rides against on the described peripheral frame and welding is as shown in figure 11 in place.

In case described rack is curved its final use shape, just can be to its processing of spraying paint, electrostatic painting or electrolysis are sprayed paint, the surface treatment of dip coating or any other type, or polishing and using in this state simply.When this condition next part is adorned, rack just can be transported and use.

A kind of distortion of structure of the present invention is shown in Figure 12-17.Such as disclosed herein, rack is to be made of the side direction framework that wire 13 and 14 forms, and by welding or other mode transverse link 15 and these wires is assembled.As can be seen, the wire that forms side rod 13 and 14 in its end the leg 16 and 17 shown in being bent to form.The bottom of these legs is formed into right foot section 18 and 19, and these foot sections are represented as outside bending part, and they are designed to work in foregoing mode.In addition, as seen, transverse link 20 and 21 forms described foot section, has increased the stability of the rack of making.But, because the wire or the connecting rod that form surface platform longitudinally are not set, as having seen according to the structure of rack shown in Figure 1, in case foot section 18 and 19 is inserted into gap between the described end connecting rod 15, more particularly, insert respectively in the gap between described connecting rod 20 and 21 and 22 and 23, significantly, because wire longitudinally is not provided, the foot section of overlapping described rack thereon and leg will fully continue to be passed down through above-mentioned gap, make these racks can't be overlapping.Therefore, when forming surface platform in described mode, leg 16 and 17 is formed with and extends protuberance 24, and this extension protuberance 24 runs into the connecting rod 13 and 14 of side, when overlapping of described rack on another, prevents that described rack from therefrom descending.Like this, facilitate on the rack that one or more racks overlap onto other, and meanwhile, because these foot sections 18 and 19 will slide into the below of the connecting rod relevant with them 20 and 23, as desired, described rack can be mentioned together and be not separated.

As Figure 15 to 17 appreciable, the improvement rack of this particular type also can be manufactured in the mode of the rack described in the Fig. 6 of front, here, before the remote destination of arrival finally was assembled into spendable structure with them, they can be formed the two-dimensional structure of another form at first, are easier to shipping, especially as shown in figure 14, but be bent downwardly at the leg pressurized of these racks of destination, become foregoing shape, coated subsequently or polishing and selling.Obviously, under the shape shown in Fig. 6 and 15, the coating that can carry out or lacquer spraying technique have had such quality at present, promptly this rack can be coated or be sprayed paint, subsequently its leg is bent into that serviceable condition is vertical to be provided with or to be provided with near the upright position, and to the overlay that applied in the past without any illeffects.

Figure 18 disclose a kind of distinguishing slightly can be overlapping and the rack of estable, under this specific situation, when overlapping on another for one, in a pair of rack 25,26 one can be overlapped on another as shown, they are interconnected, be maintained fixed to guarantee these two racks, but meanwhile in the time will being separated, these rack estables get up, so that reduce their volume when storage, shipping or sales displays.

As can be descried, under this particular case, each rack at one end portion all has the leg 27 and 28 of shaping, and as shown in the figure, they are together with foot section 29 and 30 and formed by whole.Under this particular case, as disclosed, the platform of each rack or surface 31 and 32 networks of being made by metal, plastics or similar material form.As shown in the figure, each angle near each rack platform provides an aperture that passes therethrough 33.Each foot section 29 and 30 has a sheet of pin member 34, and they slightly inwardly are provided with a segment distance from respective leg 35, and this distance is generally equal to the length of the shorter part 36 of each foot section.Under this particular case, these pin sheet 34 designs are used for extending through the described aperture 33 of the rack that is positioned at the below, and because described leg is by inside biasing, these pin sheets will pass each relevant aperture 33 square bearer on described side connecting rod 37 below and the place ahead extend, and the mid portion of described foot section 29 is arranged on the described network surface 31 or 32, in use, these rack reciprocal interlockings get up and remain on its appropriate location, are fixed together to guarantee that they are held.

As previously described, because each of these racks can overlapping and estable, in its structure, end frame 27 and 28 will slightly outwards have angle towards its foot section, bottom, and each end frame will need by inwardly towards biasing each other, for their pin sheet 34 is aimed at relevant aperture 33, allow these pin sheets to insert aperture 33 and then release, so that shown in mark mark 38, the minor face of each pin sheet will be biased on the connecting rod 37 of described end frame top, in case assemble, this is fixing in place to rack.

As contingent, these pin sheets 34 can extend internally, rather than stretch out, and allow them with described aperture 33 location, so that in case when vertically assembling, this is fixed together to rack.

The present invention can be overlapping and the structure setting of the similar type of estable rack and for example shown in Figure 19, but in this special case, shown surface platform 39 and 40 is shaped as the network that is formed by longitudinally a series of or transversely arranged grid wire, perhaps just in time be the network that forms by the wire of longitudinally arranging, when when assembling as shown, the gap that designed pin sheet 41 inserts between the described longitudinal metallic wire 42 and 43 is used for this is fixed together to rack.Such as previously described, just may be that these pin sheets can be straightened or bend inwards rather than outwards bending, with box lunch they when superimposed, this is cooperated rack is fixed together.In addition, store and the shipping space in order to save, when not using, but these rack quilt covers gather into folds.

So, described here this can be overlapping and the improved rack estable type the design more original than prior art have progressive, because it provides a common smooth surface platform as its upper face, on this surface, can store the article of various sizes, and not with any vertical component interference that forms rack structure itself.In addition, but described rack has also been strengthened its plyability and nestability with this form design, even but this plyability has guaranteed when overlapping on another with one in many racks, they also can be held and be fixed together, even, also can firmly these racks be raised together with the face that in advance article is placed on it.And, the method of assembling this specific rack is identical with this viewpoint, promptly, usually it can be configured as two-dimensional structure, as Fig. 6 and 7, such shown in 15 and 17, has rational flat shape, before they are finally bent and are assembled into serviceable condition, this planar structure helps its storage and shipping, is especially comprising under the long distance situation of transporting, as previously described, as shown in figure 14, the leg of these racks is bent into upright shape along the described direction that vertically is provided with, perhaps as shown in Figure 2, these legs is bent into upright shape along the direction of near normal setting.

After having read embodiments of the invention described herein, those skilled in the art can to of the present invention can be overlapping and structure, assemble method and the application of the rack of estable carry out some changes and improvements.For example, can imagine that the pin that forms rack of the present invention can bend inwards, rather than outwards bending, also can be used to overlapping two or more described racks in the top of each other effectively.This improvement and distortion, if spirit according to the invention, in the scope that is comprised in the claim of carrying out patent protection of writing according to the design of these racks.Here the description of the preferred embodiment of Ti Chuing and accompanying drawing only are for purpose of explanation.
