Abstract

The present invention discloses a shelf comprising a plurality of cross beams, a plurality of support portions and at least one rest portion. Each of the cross beams is connected to a corresponding support portion by a connector, and a side face of each of the cross beams has a rest face for placement of a corresponding rest portion. At least two opposite ends of the rest portion are arranged on the rest faces, in the same plane, of at least two corresponding cross beams. The plurality of cross beams and the plurality of support portions are profiles formed by die extrusion-stretching. Compared with a traditional shelf, the shelf according to the present invention has the advantages of light weight, having less tendency to rust and corrode, being easy to disassemble and assemble, being free of stress concentration problem, and the like.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A shelf, comprising a plurality of cross beams, a plurality of support portions and at least one rest portion, each of the cross beams being connected to a corresponding support portion by a connector, a side face of each of the cross beams having a rest face for placement of a corresponding rest portion, at least two opposite ends of the rest portion being arranged on the rest faces, in the same plane, of at least two corresponding cross beams, characterized in that the plurality of cross beams and the plurality of support portions are profiles formed by die extrusion-stretching;
wherein a side face of the cross beam is further provided with a reinforcing plate fixation face below the rest face, a bottom face of the rest face is connected with a first arc-shaped face and a second arc-shaped face above the reinforcing plate fixation face, and the first arc-shaped face and the second arc-shaped face intersect to form a “y” shape.

2. The shelf according to claim 1 , wherein the profile is an aluminum alloy profile, a magnesium alloy profile, an aluminum-magnesium alloy profile, or a titanium alloy profile.

3. The shelf according to claim 1 , wherein a contact face where the cross beam contacts with the support portion, a bending portion of the profile, a fillet of the profile, or a place where the profile is subjected to stress are thickened so that a mechanical strength and a bending resistance of the profile are improved.

4. The shelf according to claim 1 , wherein the connector comprises a pin, a bolt, or a rivet.

5. The shelf according to claim 1 , wherein the support portion is provided with a plurality of through-holes 10 , when the support portion is normally upright, each of the through-holes is formed by connecting one large hole and one small hole from up to down, two ends of each of the cross beams are connected and fixed to the connectors through connection holes provided on the two ends, a diameter of a head of the connector is smaller than a diameter of the large hole of the through-hole but larger than a diameter of the small hole of the through-hole.

6. The shelf according to claim 1 , wherein the rest portion is a rectangular object made of a wooden plate, an iron plate, a wire mesh, or a plastic.

7. The shelf according to claim 1 , wherein a reinforcing plate perpendicular to the cross beams is provided between at least two opposite cross beams, and the reinforcing plate is connected and fixed to the cross beam by pins or bolts.
