Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a rack, and more particularly to a rack structure on which an object can be placed and fastened or released.

In general working and living environments, large objects such as cupboards and chests of drawers are usually placed directly on the floor. However, from the point of view of space utilization, the lack of available space below the object is very disappointing, and there is a need to make more efficient use of each space, especially in tight space environments. For this reason, racks for lifting objects have appeared on the market, increasing the available space below the objects.

However, the conventional rack described above only has a function of placing an object and does not have a structure for fixing the object. The object tends to be displaced during use, and the object must be returned to its original position after use, which is quite inconvenient. For this reason, after the shelf is placed on the rack, another means has to be used to fix the object to the rack.

The most common fixing means is a locking system using a screw, which securely prevents the object from moving relative to the rack by locking a portion of the bottom of the object with the rack. However, the drawback of locking with screws is that it takes time to attach and detach, and it is not suitable to use a locking method using screws as a fixing means for large objects that must be moved frequently. Therefore, how quickly an object can be fixed and unfixed to the rack is an important factor that must be considered for the convenience of mounting and removing the object. Providing the means will be a necessary skill for traders in related fields in the future.
