1. Field of Invention
The present invention is an easy to assemble anti-dropping device, herein in particularly meaning a technique to improve the efficiency of assembling a central axle through a redesign of a supporting rack, which can certainly eliminate various troubles and disadvantages in assembling the central axle of the conventional central axle.
2. Description of Related Arts
According to the latest anti-dropping device, such as described in the published patent case, US2013/0105247, the assembling process in the published patent case requires aligning a rotary drum 150, a rotor 162, and a turbination spring 159 to put into a reverse U shaped chamber of a supporting rack 124, and using a central axle 184 to insert into an orifice 105 of the supporting rack 124 and to pass through the rotary drum 150 and a central hole of the rotor 162, so as to insert into another orifice 115 of the supporting rack 124.
However, in the published patent case it is hard and time consuming to install the central axle 184 because the central axle 184 has to be restricted by the orifice 105 of the supporting rack 124, and the rotary drum 150, the rotor 162, and the turbination spring 159 have to be restricted in the reverse U shaped chamber, so it is impossible to see the central hole of the rotary drum 150 and the rotor 162 and, therefore, there is a need to frequently align through moving the central axle 184 back and forth to adjust the positions of the rotary drum 150 and the rotor 162, which not only increases the working time for more times of the action to hinder the efficiency of the assembling, but also hinders the growth of the economic effectiveness, which is the bottleneck of current technology.
The present invention provides an easy to assemble anti-dropping device, which is characterized in that the supporting rack is formed from a upright board having a first hole, a lateral board extended from top side of the upright board, and a breaking frame detachably installed on the free end of the lateral board to define a chamber, wherein the breaking frame has a foramen concentric with the first hole, a covering board sealing off the outer side of the foramen, wherein the covering board has a second hole which matches with the first hole, so as to allow the first hole and the second hole to be passed through by a central axle.
Therefore, the first hole of the upright board or the second hole of the breaking frame of the present invention can first separate to allow the central axle to pass, so as to let the central axle to pass through the central opening of the rotor and the central hole of the rotary drum in a manner of maximum moving allowance, and to eventually set up the breaking frame on the lateral board, which structural setting can certainly greatly reduce the assembly costs and improve on the disadvantages of assembling a current anti-dropping device.
