Abstract
A combination rack includes a base formed of a front-open box, a flat panel made out of a ferrous plate and covered with a decorative covering and fixedly mounted on the rear side of the top wall of the base in vertical, and different shapes of holder frame members with embedded magnets attachable to the flat panel by means of magnetic attraction for supporting small ornaments.
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a rack for holding things and more particularly, to a combination rack that can be conveniently arranged in any of a variety of forms for holding things.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- A regular rack assembly for use in a living room to hold electric and ornamental items is generally comprised of cabinets and partition walls. Conventional rack assemblies for this purpose are of fixed type, not adjustable to change the configuration. To fit a particular personal requirement, a custom made is necessary. However, a custom-made rack assembly is quite expensive, and its fabrication takes time.
- Therefore, it is desirable to provide a combination rack that allows the user to change its arrangement conveniently.
- The present invention has been accomplished under the circumstances in view. It is one object of the present invention to provide a combination rack that can be conveniently arranged in any of a variety of forms for holding things.
- According to one aspect of the present invention, the combination rack comprises a base formed of a front-open box, a flat panel formed of a ferrous plate covered with a decorative covering and fixedly mounted on the rear side of the top wall of the base in vertical, and a plurality of holder frame members respectively embedded with magnets and attachable to the flat panel by means of magnetic attraction for supporting small ornaments.
- According to another aspect of the present invention, the decorative covering of the flat panel can be a thin layer of wood or plastics.
- According to still another aspect of the present invention, the holder frame members include can be triangular frame bars, wave-like frame bars, rectangular open frames, and/or other geometric frame members.
-
FIG. 1 is an exploded view of a combination rack according to the present invention. -
FIG. 2 is a perspective exploded view, partially cutaway, of the combination rack according to the present invention. -
FIG. 3 shows one application example of the present invention. -
FIG. 4 shows another application example of the present invention. -
FIG. 5 shows still another application example of the present invention. -
FIG. 6 shows still another application example of the present invention. -
FIG. 7 shows still another application example of the present invention. - Referring to
FIGS. 1 and 2 , a combination rack in accordance with the present invention is shown comprised of abase 1, aflat panel 2, a triangularholder frame bar 3, a wave-likeholder frame bar 4, and arectangular holder frame 5. Thebase 1 is a front-open box having, for example, an oval shaped profile. Theflat panel 2 is fixedly mounted on the rear side of the top wall of thebase 1 in vertical. According to this embodiment, theflat panel 2 is a flatferrous plate 21 covered with a layer ofdecorative covering 22. The layer ofdecorative covering 22 can be a shin sheet of wood, plastics, or any other suitable material. - The triangular
holder frame bar 3, the wave-likeholder frame bar 4 and therectangular holder frame 5 each have at least onemagnet - By means of magnetic attraction between the
magnets ferrous plate 21, the triangularholder frame bar 3, the wave-likeholder frame bar 4 and therectangular holder frame 5 are secured to theflat panel 2 at selected locations for holding small objects. -
FIG. 3 shows one application example of the present invention. As illustrated, aDVD player 61 is kept inside thebase 1, aTV set 62 is supported on the top wall of thebase 1, and the triangularholder frame bar 3 and therectangular holder frame 5 are secured to theflat panel 2 above the TV set to hold small ornaments. -
FIG. 4 shows another application example of the present invention. As illustrated,DVDs 63 andbooks 65 are kept inside thebase 1, astereo system 64 is supported on the top wall of thebase 1, and the triangularholder frame bar 3 and the wave-likeholder frame bar 4 are secured to theflat panel 2 above thestereo system 64 to hold small ornaments. -
FIG. 5 shows another application example of the present invention. As illustrated,books 65 are kept inside thebase 1, and the wave-likeholder frame bar 4 and therectangular holder frame 5 are secured to theflat panel 2 at different elevations to hold small ornaments. -
FIG. 6 shows still another application example of the present invention. As illustrated,books 65 andvideotapes 66 are kept inside thebase 1, and the triangularholder frame bar 3 and therectangular holder frame 5 are secured to theflat panel 2 at different elevations to hold small ornaments. - Referring to
FIG. 7 , theflat panel 2 can be separately used and affixed to a vertical flat wall with nails 7 to hold the triangularholder frame bar 3 and the rectangular holder frame 5 (and the wave-like holder frame bar 4) for supporting small ornaments. - Although a particular embodiment of the invention has been described in detail for purposes of illustration, various modifications and enhancements may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the invention is not to be limited except as by the appended claims.
