BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1) Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a sectional rack for storage, and more particularly to a multilayer hollow storage rack composed of glass plates and straight rods, and a transversal edge frame is designed around the periphery of each layer of the glass plates for stopping objects from rolling or moving, so as to achieve the effects of enhancing the assembly by the design of stable gravity and preventing objects from falling out from the rack.
2) Description of the Prior Art
In general, a rack A for storing daily items is installed in a bathroom or a restroom (as shown in FIG. 1A), and a through hole A11 is disposed separately at positions of edges and corners of a glass plate A1, such that a bolt A2 can be passed through and screwed into a screw hole A31 of a straight rod A3 to constitute a multilayer assembly. Since the periphery of the glass plates A1 is not higher than the surface with a design for stopping objects, objects disposed on the rack may roll on the glass plates A1 or even fall out from the periphery of the glass plates A1 easily when the objects are collided by accident. Furthermore, if the gravity of an upper layer is greater than the gravity of a lower layer, and the gravity is biased towards a side, then the whole rack may topple due to the bias of gravity when the rack is collided by accident, and thus glasses may be broken or people may be cut or injured.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In view of the foregoing shortcomings of the prior art, the inventor of the present invention based on years of experience in the related industry to conduct extensive researches and experience, and finally developed a sectional rack for storage in accordance with the present invention.
The primary objective of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a sectional rack for storage that comprises: a plurality of straight rods assembled around the periphery of a glass plate to form a multilayer and hollow sectional rack body, a conical base disposed at upper and lower ends of corners of the periphery of the glass plate, a lateral indent formed separately on two right-angled positions of a flat bottom surface of the base, a recession disposed on a right-angled area at an included angle between two lateral indents for clamping and disposing two transversal edge frames and the glass plates which are fixed by bolts, a recession disposed at a center position, a hollow bolt having an external thread on an external surface of the hollow bolt and being installed into the recession between two bases, two nuts screwed in the directions from both ends of the hollow bolt for tightly attaching and positioning the flat bottom surface of the two bases, and the straight rod being passed into the recession of the base, and a long bolt passing through the hollow bolt and being screwed into an internal thread of the straight rod for positioning and assembling two straight rods extended from the base; such that the transversal edge frame of each layer of the glass plates is provided for stopping objects from rolling and moving, so as to achieve the effects of changing the traditional way of assembling a sectional rack, enhancing the stability of the assembly, and preventing objects from falling out from the rack.
Another objective of the present invention is to provide a sectional rack for storage, wherein the height of the transversal edge frame disposed around the glass plate is higher than the glass plate, for stopping objects from rolling or falling out from the rack.
Another objective of the present invention is to provide a sectional rack for storage, wherein the base includes a design of a plurality of lateral indents and recessions disposed on a flat bottom surface of the base for providing a variation of extendability for an application of an external connection.
Another objective of the present invention is to provide a sectional rack for storage, wherein the sectional rack is a variable multilayer hollow assembly.
To make it easier for our examiner to understand the objectives, characteristics and effects of the present invention, a preferred embodiment with accompanying drawings are used for a detailed description of the invention as follows.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3 for a detailed description of the present invention, a sectional rack for storage in accordance with the invention comprises: a plurality of straight rods 2 disposed around the periphery of glass plates 1 to form a multilayer hollow sectional rack body, wherein each glass plate 1 has a conical base 3 disposed separately on upper and lower ends of edges and corners of the glass plate 1, a lateral indent 32 disposed separately on two right-angled positions on a flat bottom surface 31 of each base 3, a recessions 33 disposed on a right-angled area at an included angle between two lateral indents 32 for clamping and disposing two transversal edge frames 4 and the glass plates 1, wherein a bolt 3A is provided to fix the transversal edge frame 4, and a recession 34 is disposed at a center position and a hollow bolt 5 with an external thread 51 at an external surface of the hollow bolt 5 is installed into a recession 34 between the two bases 3, and two nuts 5A are screwed in the directions from both ends of the hollow bolt 5 to tightly attach and fix the flat bottom surface 31 of the two bases 3, and a straight rod 2 is passed into the recession 34 of the base 3, and a long bolt 6 is passed through hollow bolt 5 and screwed into the internal thread 21 of the straight rod 2 for fixing and assembling the two straight rods 2 extended outward from the base 3 (as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5).
The sectional rack can be assembled into a multilayer hollow configuration according to actual needs (as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7). Since the periphery of each layer of glass plates 1 has a transversal edge frame 4 for stopping objects from rolling or moving, and the whole sectional rack comes with a design of a stable gravity, the present invention can achieve the effects of changing the traditional way of assembling a sectional rack, enhancing the stability of the assembly, and preventing objects from falling out from the rack. The present invention also comes with the design of a plurality of lateral indents 32 and recessions 33 disposed on the flat bottom surface 31 of the base 3, so as to provide a variation of extendability for an application of an external connection (as shown in FIGS. 8 to 10); or even the original length, section and position of the straight rods 2 can be used for connecting the base 3 to provide variations for the connections at different heights and positions (as shown in FIG. 11).
In summation of the description above, the invention is definitely in compliance with the requirements of patent application, and is thus duly filed for patent application.
