Description MOBILE RACK Technical Field
[1] The present invention relates to a mobile rack, and in particular to an improved mobile rack capable of comprehensively and intensely managing a large number of materials and data in such a manner that a mobile rack is configured to be easy to handle, move, install and fabricate. Generally, a mobile rack has been used for comprehensively and intensely managing a large number of materials and data in a limited narrow space. The above mobile rack is classified into a motored mobile rack, a handle type mobile rack and a hydraulic type mobile rack. In addition, a freight-dedicated mobile rack has been used at a limited narrow space such as a factory and a warehouse. Disclosure of Invention Technical Problem
[2] However, in the case that materials and documents are stored in a conventional mobile rack in an office, since a center support part is formed in an angle type, not in a panel type, a certain number of parts is additionally needed since left, right, and rear side partitions are not provided. In addition, it is very inconvenient to use the conventional mobile rack. Since a frame and a rail (no assembling type) are formed in an integral welding structure, a volume is large, and a weight is heavy. In the case that the conventional mobile rack is exported to foreign countries, a transportation cost is increased.
[3] In addition, the rail should be installed on a floor in order to move a mobile rack in a conventional art. In this case, since the rail is installed on a floor, the rail may become a certain obstacle to people walking on the floor. In addition, the rail is generally painted, so that the painted portions could be peeled by friction between the painted portions and the wheels. Therefore, a rusting phenomenon may occur at the peeled portions, so that the rail may be easily damaged. Technical Solution
[4] Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a mobile rack capable of overcoming the problems encountered in the conventional art. It is another object of the present invention to provide a mobile rack that is configured in a panel type that operates as a support bar and a partition. It is further another object of the present invention to provide a mobile rack in which a support member is installed at a
support bar and partition using a hooker. It is still further another object of the present invention to provide a mobile rack in which a frame supporting a mobile part and the structure of a fixing part and a rail is changed from an integral welding type structure to a screw engaging assembling structure. It is still further another object of the present invention to provide a mobile rack in which the material of a rail is changed from a steel structure to an aluminum injection frame structure for thereby enhancing an anti- corrosion structure and preventing an easier corrosion.
[5] To achieve the above objects, there is provided a mobile rack that includes a moving part that is movable in left and right directions, and is configured to store materials, and has a partition and a support at an intermediate portion; a fixing part that is fixed at one end of a rail based on an installation condition; a control part that is configured to move the moving part; a rail that is installed at the lower sides of the moving part and the fixing part for thereby moving the moving part in left and right directions; a stopping part that is installed at an end of the rail for stopping a movement of the moving part; a floor part that is inserted and assembled at an inner side between the rails; a wing part that is engaged to a lateral side of the rail; and a support bar that is foldably connected between the moving part and the fixing part. Advantageous Effects
[6] As described above, the column structure of the mobile rack according to the present invention is configured in one panel structure that operates for both the support member and partition. A bookshelf is installed in such a manner that a hooker is engaged with the support bar and partition for thereby enhancing an efficiency of use. The structure of the frame part and rail part is changed from the welding integral structure to the screw engaging assembling structure, so that a movement and installation are easier. In addition, a product transportation cost is decreased. Since the material of the rail is changed, it is possible to enhance durability. Even when the mobile rack according to the present invention is used for a long time, it is possible to effectively prevent the damages. Brief Description of the Drawings
