Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a holder structure, and more particularly to a dismountable holder structure for holding a plurality of cups, which is capable of flexibly adjusting the inner storage space according to the sizes of cups and the components thereof are fabricated stably and are removable.
- 2. Related Art
- In recent years, as the increasing of people's life standard and the popularization of knowledge and education, people in the modern society pay more and more attention to sanitation status in daily life, especially table wares for holding food, which are closely relevant to people's diet, such as bowls, dishes, and cups. In the past, these table wares for holding food were rinsed manually after being used, no matter in a private house or a restaurant. In a private house, since there is only a small amount of table wares and the diners are almost fixed, the table wares need not be rinsed and disinfected by using a washing machine in most instances, but some families paying more attention to hygiene still use washing machines, such as dish washers and cup washers. However, in public restaurants, since a large amount of table wares is required and used frequently, and diners are always changed, the table wares must be rinsed and disinfected with a large-scale washing machine, so as to enhance the efficiency for rinsing the table wares and keep the table wares sanitary.
- Generally, most of washing machines for rinsing table wares should be used together with a basket-type table ware rack. Firstly, a user may collect the table wares into the basket-type table ware rack, i.e., many table wares are together put into and rinsed in a washing machine, thereby saving manpower and rinsing time, and the table wares may also be sterilized and disinfected under a high temperature. However, the conventional basket-type table ware rack has no separate spaces divided for placing each of table ware, as a result, the table wares made of brittle materials, such as ceramics and glass, may be easily broken due to the impact and crashing between each other when being carried along all together, which often occurs for cups for holding liquid, such as water cups and wine glasses. In addition, since there are various kinds of cups for holding liquid, for example, the cups for holding wine may be classified into standing cups and beer tumblers. Different types of cups are different in size, such that it is difficult to collect such cups on the same table ware rack. Furthermore, the conventional basket-type table ware racks with table wares being placed therein cannot be stacked with each other, but must be carried by the user one by one, and thereby degrading the efficiency and wasting time.
- In order to place the same kind of cups together without being broken due to shaking and crashing, different holders have been designed to cater to various cups with different sizes in the field. However, under this circumstance, the holders of different sizes must be produced through die sinking, which is not cost-effective considering the cost. Furthermore, the holders cannot be stacked together, which are carried and stored inconveniently. Therefore, many cup holders that can be stacked with each other are proposed, such as in Taiwan Utility Model No. M245944, a table ware holder that can be stacked is disclosed, which can be carried, stacked, and stored. The table ware holders disclosed in M245944 are stacked together only by fitting one holder on the top of another by using the groove at the bottom of the former. In this manner, the holders cannot be stacked stably, and may be easily tilted due to an external force when being carried.
- In order to overcome the problem that cup holders may be easily tilted, a latching structure for mounting cup holders is proposed. However, if the holders are mounted by the latching structure, the holders can not be separated each other and be mounted again. Although the latching structure can increase the stability of the cup holders, but is not capable of flexibly adjusting the inner storage space according to the sizes of cups. Therefore, to a large extent, it has currently become an urgent problem to be solved that how to design a holder suitable for cups of different sizes and may be stacked stably and removable easily, thereby saving the manufacturing cost and enhancing the protectability of cup placement.
- In view of the problems of the prior art that the stacking cup holders cannot be stacked stably and dismounted repeatedly and the conventional cup holder has a high cost due to being produced through die sinking, the present invention is mainly directed to a dismountable holder structure, in which the components thereof are capable of being stacked and assembled together stably and also capable of being dismounted conveniently, so as to form storage spaces for cups of different sizes.
- In order to achieve the aforementioned object, the present invention provides a dismountable holder structure, which is used for holding a plurality of cups. The holder structure includes a base and at least one dividing rack. The base has an accommodation space with an upward opening and at least one oblique first buckling hole formed on an outer edge of the base. The dividing rack is sleeved in the base along the opening, and has a plurality of cross-connected division plates formed therein, so as to divide the accommodation space in the base into a plurality of storage spaces for storing cups. The dividing rack further has at least one hooking member, which includes a swing arm and a hook. One end of the swing arm is movably connected to the outer edge of the dividing rack, and the hook is formed at the other end of the swing arm and obliquely corresponds to the first buckling hole of the base. The hook is fastened in the first buckling hole at a fastening position and forms a height difference with the upper edge of the first buckling hole, such that the hooking member normally hooks the first buckling hole, so as to fix the dividing rack on the base. The hooking member may also be activated to drive the hook away from the fastening position to disengage from the first buckling hole, thereby dismounting the dividing rack from the base.
- The efficacies of the present invention lie in that, the hooking member of the dividing rack selectively hooks the first buckling hole of the base or releases from the first buckling hole, and in this manner, not only the dividing rack may be fixed on the base stably to prevent the holder from tiling due to an external force when being carried and easy to dismounted repeatedly, but the storage spaces also can be designed to cater to the cups with specific sizes through increasing or reducing the number of the dividing racks, so as to save the die sinking cost for independently developing the holders of different sizes and further save the manufacturing cost and protect cups in a better way.

Although the storage of thecup 50 is taken as an example in this embodiment, the present invention is not limited to storing thecup 50, but applicable for storing any container and table ware that needs to be rinsed. - As shown in
FIGS. 2 , 3A, and 3B, thebase 10 is formed by fourside walls 11 opposite to each other in pairs and ahollow bottom wall 12, which are mutually connected to form a hollow quasi-rectangular base seat. Thebase 10 is surrounded by theside walls 11 and thebottom wall 12 to form anopening 13 and anaccommodation space 14 that extends upwards from theopening 13 for being communicated with the outside. The base 10 further has a plurality of first bucklingholes 15, astepwise slot 16, a plurality of handhold-troughs 17, and a supportingsurface 19. Each of theside walls 11 includes anouter plate 111 and aninner plate 112, theouter plates 111 of each of theside walls 11 are connected with each other, and theinner plates 112 of each of theside walls 11 are ring-connected to the periphery of thehollow bottom wall 12. The tops of theouter plates 111 are bent to be connected to theinner plates 112, so as to form a supportingsurface 19 on the tops of each of theside walls 11. The supportingsurface 19 surrounds theopening 13 of thebase 10, so as to be configured into annular rectangle-shaped, and the inner edge of the supportingsurface 19 is recessed to form astepwise slot 16. Thestepwise slot 16 is located on the top of theinner plate 112 adjacent to theopening 13, which is provided for thedividing rack 20 or the stackingrack 30 to be sleeved thereon. The first bucklingholes 15 are formed on the outer edge of theouter plate 111 of each of theside walls 11 in pairs, and the first bucklingholes 15 are recessed from theouter plate 111 and decline towards the supportingsurface 19 to form an included angle, such that aninclined plane 151 is formed on the upper side of the first buckling holes 15. The quantities and positions of the first bucklingholes 15 may be changed depending upon actual designs, however, in this embodiment, each of theside walls 11 merely has two first buckling holes 15. The handhold-trough 17 extends inwards from theouter plate 111 to theinner plate 112, and theouter plate 111 and theinner plate 112 are connected with a smooth plate, so as to pick up thebase 10. Thebottom wall 12 is used to support thecup 50 placed on thebase 10, and thebottom wall 12 is opened with a plurality of through holes to present a hollow configuration, such that a fluid, such as rinsing water and cleaning solution, may flow through thebottom wall 12 to get into and out of theaccommodation space 14. - Referring to
FIGS. 2 , 4A, 4B, 5A, and 5B, thedividing rack 20 and the stackingrack 30 are both quasi-rectangular architectures formed by four mutually-connectedside walls 21 opposite to each other in pairs. Thedividing rack 20 has a plurality ofdivision plates 22 therein and may be sleeved on the base 10 directly, and may also be sleeved on the base 10 together with the stackingrack 30 after being stacked thereto. The stackingrack 30 is hollow and may be sleeved on the base 10 directly, and may also be sleeved on the base 10 together with thedividing rack 20 after being stacked thereto. Thedividing rack 20 and the stackingrack 30 may be arbitrarily sleeved with each other and then sleeved on the base 10 together. The quantities and positions of the dividing racks 20 and the stackingracks 30 may be designed freely depending upon the size of thecup 50. In this embodiment, thedividing rack 20 is stacked on the stackingrack 30, and then both thedividing rack 20 and the stackingrack 30 are sleeved on the base 10 together. - Both the
dividing rack 20 and the stackingrack 30 have a plurality of hookingmembers 23, a plurality of second bucklingholes 24, astepwise slot 25, and a supportingsurface 26. Each of theside walls 21 includes anouter plate 211, aclamping plate 213, and aninner plate 212, the clampingplate 213 is formed between theouter plate 211 and theinner plate 212, and theinner plate 212 of each of theside walls 21, the clampingplate 213 of each of theside walls 21, and theouter plate 211 of each of theside walls 21 are bent respectively to be ring-connected. The top end of theouter plate 211 is bent to be connected to theclamping plate 213 and theinner plate 212, so as to form a supportingsurface 26 on the top of each of theside walls 21. The supportingsurface 26 surrounds the fourside walls 21 to present an annular rectangle shape, and the inner edge of the supportingsurface 26 is recessed to form astepwise slot 25. Thestepwise slot 25 is disposed on the top of theinner plate 212 and surrounds the fourside walls 21 for anotherdividing rack 20 or another stackingrack 30 to be fitted thereon. The second bucklingholes 24 are formed on the outer edge of each of theside walls 21 in pairs, and the second bucklingholes 24 are recessed inward from theouter plate 211 to extend to theclamping plate 213, and decline towards the supportingsurface 26 to form an included angle, such that aninclined plane 241 is formed on the upper side of the second buckling holes 24. Each of the hookingmembers 23 is located outside theside walls 21 adjacent to each of the second bucklingholes 24, and the quantities and positions of the hookingmembers 23 and the second bucklingholes 24 are the same as and corresponding to that of the first bucklingholes 15 of thebase 10. The hookingmembers 23 may hook the first bucklingholes 15 of thebase 10, the second bucklingholes 24 of thedividing rack 20, or the second bucklingholes 24 of the stackingrack 30 at a fastening position. Each of the hookingmembers 23 includes aswing arm 231, ahook 232, anotch 233, abend point 234, and aninclined plane 235. One end of theswing arm 231 is movably connected to theclamping plate 213 and located on the outer edge of theside walls 21, and anotch 233 is formed at the connection point between theswing arm 231 and theclamping plate 213, such that abend point 234 is formed between the section of theswing arm 231 and theclamping plate 213, and theswing arm 231 swings relative to the side walls 21 (thedividing rack 20 or the stacking rack 30) around thebend point 234. Thehook 232 is formed at the other end of theswing arm 213, and declines to have the inclinedplane 235, which respectively corresponds to theinclined plane 151 of the first bucklingholes 15 and theinclined plane 241 of the second bucklinghole 24. - The structure of the
dividing rack 20 is substantially the same as that of the stackingrack 30, and the difference there-between lies in that thedividing rack 20 further has a plurality ofdivision plates 22. Thedivision plates 22 cross-connected with each other and connected to theinner plates 212 of theside walls 21 respectively, so as to divide theopening 13 and theaccommodation space 14 of the base 10 into a plurality ofstorages spaces 18 for accommodating thecups 50. In this embodiment, for example, there are only sixteenstorage spaces 18, but the quantity and size of thestorage spaces 18 are designed depending upon the size of thecups 50, which is not limited herein. Thedivision plate 22 further has a plurality ofprotrusions 221 extending from thedivision plates 22 towards thehollow bottom wall 12 of thebase 10. - Referring to
FIGS. 1 , 2, 6A, andFIG. 6B ,FIG. 6A is a schematic sectional view of thehooks 232 of each of the hookingmembers 23 disengaged from the first bucklingholes 15 and the second bucklingholes 24 respectively, andFIG. 6B is a schematic sectional view of thehooks 232 of the hookingmembers 23 hooking the first bucklingholes 15 and the second bucklingholes 24 at the fastening position respectively. - The length of the
clamping plate 213 of the dividing rack 20 (the stacking rack 30) in a stacking direction (i.e., the direction from theopening 13 of the base 10 to the hollow bottom wall 12) is less than the length of theouter plate 211 and theinner plate 212 in the stacking direction, such that the clampingplate 213 and the adjacentouter plate 211 andinner plate 212 on both sides have a height difference. Since theside wall 11 and theside wall 21 respectively have thestepwise slot 16 and thestepwise slot 25, the widths of the supportingsurface 19 and the supportingsurface 26 are both less than the distance between theouter plate 211 and theinner plate 212. Through the height difference between the clampingplate 213 and theouter plate 211, and that between the clampingplate 213 and theinner plate 212, the top of theside wall 11 of the base 10 may be inserted into the bottom of the stacking rack 30 (between theouter plate 211 and the inner plate 212), and the top of theside wall 21 of the stackingrack 30 may be inserted into the bottom of the dividing rack 20 (between theouter plate 211 and the inner plate 212). Meanwhile, the clampingplate 213 and theinner plate 212 of the stackingrack 30 respectively bear against the supportingsurface 19 and thestepwise slot 16 of thebase 10, and theclamping plate 213 and theinner plate 212 of thedividing rack 20 respectively bear against the supportingsurface 26 and thestepwise slot 25 of the stackingrack 30. Therefore, thedividing rack 20 and the stackingrack 30 both can be sleeved on the top of theside wall 21 of the stackingrack 30 and the top of theside wall 11 of the base 10 with theouter plate 211 and theinner plate 212, thereby achieving suitable support, such that thedividing rack 20 and the stackingrack 30 may be fitted with each other and then be together sleeved on thebase 10. - The first buckling
hole 15 and the second bucklinghole 24 respectively decline towards the supportingsurface 19 and the supportingsurface 26, and thehook 232 of the hookingmember 23 is obliquely disposed on theswing arm 231, corresponding to the obliquity of the first bucklinghole 15 and the second bucklinghole 24. The distance between thebend point 234 of the hookingmember 23 on the stackingrack 30 and the upper edge of the first bucklinghole 15 is slightly larger than that between thesame bend point 234 and the front end of thehook 232, and the distance between thebend point 234 of thedividing rack 20 and the upper edge of the second bucklinghole 24 of the stackingrack 30 is slightly larger than that between thesame bend point 234 and the front end of thehook 232. Therefore, when thehook 232 of the hookingmember 23 hooks the first bucklinghole 15 and the second bucklinghole 24 at the aforementioned fastening position, the front end of thehook 232 forms a height difference with the upper edge of the first bucklinghole 15 and with the upper edge of the second bucklinghole 24 respectively, such that the hookingmember 23 of the stackingrack 30 normally hooks the first bucklinghole 15 of thebase 10, and the hookingmember 23 of thedividing rack 20 normally hooks the second bucklinghole 24 of the stackingrack 30. Meanwhile, theinclined plane 235 of thehook 232 closely contacts theinclined plane 151 of the first bucklinghole 15 and theinclined plane 241 of the second bucklinghole 24 respectively, and if no external force is exerted, thehook 232 will not be disengaged from the first bucklinghole 15 and the second bucklinghole 24, thereby fixing thedividing rack 20 on the stackingrack 30 stably, and further fixing the stackingrack 30 on the base 10 stably. On the contrary, the hookingmembers 23 may be activated to drive thehook 232 away from the fastening position to be disengaged from the first bucklinghole 15 or the second bucklinghole 24, such that thedividing rack 20 is dismounted from the stackingrack 30 and the stackingrack 30 is dismounted from thebase 10. - Based on the above, if a user wants to design a space on the base 10 to cater to the size (the height along the aforementioned stacking direction) of the
cups 50, and particularly, a storage space 18 (the height along the aforementioned stacking direction) suitable for storing thecups 50 can be easily designed on the base 10 merely through stacking a specific number of dividingracks 20 and stackingracks 30, and separating through thedivision plates 22 of thedividing rack 20, such that thecups 50 are capable of being collected for being rinsed, under the production of the holder structure. Furthermore, dividingracks 20 and stackingracks 30 are able to be mounted stably on the base 10 through the hookingmember 23 or to be easily dismounted easily from thebase 10. - Referring to
FIGS. 7 and 8 , the holder structure according to a second embodiment of the present invention is shown. In this embodiment, another aspect of the quantity and stacking manner for the dividing racks 20 and the stackingracks 30 of the holder structure provided by the present invention is described, and the main structural features of the holder structure are the same as those of the first embodiment. In this embodiment, although two stackingracks 30 and onedividing rack 20 are specifically described, the quantity and stacking manner of the dividing racks 20 and stackingracks 30 will not limit the implementation aspect of the present invention, for example, the aspect of only stacking a plurality of dividingracks 20 on thebase 10 still falls in the scope of the present invention. The second embodiment includes abase 10, adividing rack 20, and two stackingracks 30, in which two stackingracks 30 are stacked with each other for being sleeved on thebase 10, so as to be sleeved on thebase 10. As such, the height of the holder structure in the stacking direction may be changed though increasing or decreasing the stacking quantity (of the dividing racks 20 or the stacking racks 30), thereby achieving a placement height suitable for the cups 50 (as shown inFIG. 1 ). - As shown in
FIGS. 9 and 10 , the holder structure according to a third embodiment of the present invention is shown. The main difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment lies in that, the quantities of the first bucklingholes 15 on thebase 10, the hookingmembers 23 and the second bucklingholes 24 on thedividing rack 20, and the hookingmembers 23 and the second bucklinghole 24 on the stackingrack 30 are reduced to be four, and the main technical features of the holder structure are the same as those of the first embodiment. In this embodiment, although only four first bucklingholes 15, four second bucklingholes 24, and four hookingmembers 23 are specifically described, the present invention is not limited thereby, for example, the aspect of only designing two first bucklingholes 15, two second bucklingholes 24, and two hookingmembers 23 still falls in the scope of the present invention. - As shown in
FIG. 11 andFIG. 12 , the holder structure according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention is shown. In this embodiment, the main difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment lies in that,sixteenth storage spaces 18 are specifically described in the first embodiment, whereas twentystorage spaces 18 are described in this embodiment. The main structural features of the holder structure are the same as those in the first embodiment. As such, only through increasing or decreasing the quantity of thedivision plates 22 on thedividing rack 20, the size of thestorage spaces 18 in the holder structure may be selected by changingdifferent dividing racks 20, thereby designing a placement size suitable for thecups 50. - Therefore, in the present invention, the hooking
member 23 may selectively hook the first buckling hole of the base 10 or the second bucklinghole 24 of the stackingrack 30 and thedividing rack 20, such that not only thedividing rack 20 and stackingrack 30 may be fixed on the base 10 stably or fixed with each other, so as to prevent the holder from tilting due to an external force when being carried, but also the placement space suitable for the size of thecups 50 may be designed through increasing or decreasing the quantities of the dividing racks 20 and the stackingracks 30, so as to save the die sinking cost for independently developing the holders of different sizes and save the manufacturing cost and protect thecups 50 in a better way. - In the present invention, the hooking
member 23 of thedividing rack 20 and the stackingrack 30 may selectively hook the first bucklinghole 15 of the base 10 or disengage there-from, and the hookingmember 23 of thedividing rack 20 and the stackingrack 30 may selectively hook the second bucklinghole 24 of another dividing rack 20 (or the stacking rack 30) or disengage there-from, such that not only thedividing rack 20 and the stackingrack 30 may be freely combined to form thestorage spaces 18 suitable for thecups 50, so as to save the cost for developing the holder structure, but also thedividing rack 20, the stackingrack 30, and thebase 10, or another dividing rack 20 (or the stacking rack 30) may be stably stacked, thereby protecting thecups 50 in a better way. - The invention being thus described, it will be obvious that the same may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the invention, and all such modifications as would be obvious to one skilled in the art are intended to be included within the scope of the following claims.
