Description


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a combinational shelf. More particularly, the present invention relates to a combinational shelf which has a special roll-up door.


[0002] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 1A, a conventional shelf has a top plate A, a base plate B, a rear plate F, a first lateral plate C, a second lateral plate D, and a roll-up door I. The first lateral plate C has a periphery frame G having a U-shaped rail H to receive the roll-up door I. The first lateral plate C and the second lateral plate D are disposed on the base plate B. The rear plate F is disposed between the first lateral plate C and the second lateral plate D. The top plate A is disposed on the rear plate F, the first lateral plate C, and the second lateral plate D. The U-shaped rail H has a guide notch J. The roll-up door I is inserted in the U-shaped rail H through the guide notch J of the U-shaped rail H. However, the roll-up door I may slide out of the guide notch J of the U-shaped rail H. The roll-up door I is made of a plurality of plastics plates. Therefore, it is difficult to manufacture the roll-up door I.



SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0003] An object of the present invention is to provide a combinational shelf which has a front frame to block a roll-up door.


[0004] Another object of the present invention is to provide a combinational shelf which has a roll-up door made of plastics material and the roll-up door has a plurality of cross bars and a plurality of notches so that the roll-up door is flexible.


[0005] Accordingly, a combinational shelf comprises a top plate, a base plate, a rear plate, a first lateral plate, a second lateral plate, a roll-up door, and a front frame. The first lateral plate and the second lateral plate are disposed on the base plate. The rear plate is disposed between the first lateral plate and the second lateral plate. The top plate is disposed on the rear plate, the first lateral plate, and the second lateral plate. The top plate has a front panel. The base plate has a front bar and a plurality of sockets. The first lateral plate has a plurality of first bottom plugs, a plurality of positioning bars, a U-shaped rail, and a front groove communicating with the U-shaped rail. The second lateral plate has a plurality of second bottom plugs. The front frame has an inner flange. The first bottom plugs and the second bottom plugs are inserted in the sockets of the base plate. The roll-up door engages with the U-shaped rail through the front groove of the first lateral plate. The inner flange of the front frame blocks the front groove of the first lateral plate.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0014] Referring to FIGS. 2 to 7, a combinational shelf comprises a top plate 1, a base plate 2, a rear plate 5, a first lateral plate 3, a second lateral plate 4, a roll-up door 7, and a front frame 6.


[0015] The first lateral plate 3 and the second lateral plate 4 are disposed on the base plate 2.


[0016] The rear plate 5 is disposed between the first lateral plate 3 and the second lateral plate 4.


[0017] The top plate 1 is disposed on the rear plate 5, the first lateral plate 3, and the second lateral plate 4.


[0018] The top plate 1 has a front panel 11.


[0019] The base plate 2 has a front bar 21 and a plurality of sockets 20.


[0020] The first lateral plate 3 has a plurality of first top plugs 30, a plurality of first bottom plugs 30′, a plurality of positioning bars 81, a U-shaped rail 8, and a front groove 82 communicating with the U-shaped rail 8.


[0021] The second lateral plate 4 has a plurality of second top plugs 40 and a plurality of second bottom plugs 401.


[0022] The front frame 6 has an inner flange 60.


[0023] The first bottom plugs 30′ and the second bottom plugs 40′ are inserted in the sockets 20 of the base plate 2.


[0024] The roll-up door 7 engages with the U-shaped rail 8 through the front groove 82 of the first lateral plate 3.


[0025] The inner flange 60 of the front frame 6 blocks the front groove 82 of the first lateral plate 3.
