Coupling system and construction including same
A present application is directed to a shelving system having a coupling system comprising a tab coupler and a socket coupler, said tab coupler comprising a locking tab extending from a locking face along a locking axis and configured with a round, T-like sectioned shape; said socket coupler comprising a U-shaped locking socket projecting from a mounting face of the socket coupler along a coupler axis and configured with a U-shaped tab arresting groove; the coupling system is configurable between an unlocked position whereat the locking socket slidingly receives the locking tab so that the locking axis and the coupler axis coincide, and a locked position upon rotating one of the tab coupler and the socket coupler about the coinciding axes, entailing snugly arresting of the locking tab by the locking socket, preventing sliding displacement and axial displacement along the coinciding axes.
CONVERTIBLE DISPLAY AND STORAGE BIN
A collapsible storage bin comprising a base, at least two sidewalls each rotatably coupled to the base, and at least one corner rail. Each of the at least two sidewalls rotates from a storage position within the base to a use position extending out of the base. Opposing ends of each of the at least two sidewalls is formed by a channel open toward the channel of the other of the first side end and the second side end top to define a first coupling flange as part of the first side end and a second coupling flange as part of the second side end. The at least one corner rail includes a first planar segment and a second planar segment coupled edge-to-edge to each other. Each of the first planar segment and the second planar segment terminates with a return to form a different elongated reception channel open toward the other of the first planar segment and the second planar segment. The at least one corner rail selectively and slidably receives the first coupling flange of a first one of the at least two sidewalls within the elongated reception channel of the first planar segment, and the at least one corner rail selectively and slidably receives the second coupling flange of a second one of the at least two sidewalls within the elongated reception channel of the second planar segment to hold the at least two sidewalls substantially perpendicular to one another.
COUPLING SYSTEM AND CONSTRUCTION INCLUDING SAME
The present application is directed to a shelving system having a coupling system comprising a tab coupler and a socket coupler, said tab coupler comprising a locking tab extending from a locking face along a locking axis and configured with a round, T-like sectioned shape; said socket coupler comprising a U-shaped locking socket projecting from a mounting face of the socket coupler along a coupler axis and configured with a U-shaped tab arresting groove; the coupling system is configurable between an unlocked position whereat the locking socket slidingly receives the locking tab so that the locking axis and the coupler axis coincide, and a locked position upon rotating one of the tab coupler and the socket coupler about the coinciding axes, entailing snugly arresting of the locking tab by the locking socket, preventing sliding displacement and axial displacement along the coinciding axes.
Modular cabinet and connector module thereof
A cabinet includes a structural frame including a plurality of connecting rods and a plurality of connector modules each of which includes first and second connectors. The first connector includes two first main plate portions perpendicularly connected to each other, a first fastening hole, and a limiting indented portion. The second connector includes a second main plate portion perpendicular to the first main plate portions, a seat body connected to the second main plate portion and having a first fastening hole corresponding in position to the first fastening hole of the first connector, and a limiting protruding portion protruding from the second main plate portion and having a shape complementing with that of the limiting indented portion.
JOINING MEMBER AND ASSEMBLABLE FRAME
A joining member includes a first support portion supporting a first pole member in the longitudinal direction at the bottom surface, a second support portion supporting a second pole member in the longitudinal direction at the bottom surface, a first contact portion located on one side of the first support portion along the longitudinal direction of the first pole member and contacting the first pole member at the side surface, and a second contact portion located on one or the other side of the second support portion along the longitudinal direction of the second pole member and contacting the second pole member at the side surface. The first support portion and/or the first contact portion has a through portion in the bottom surface or the side surface. The second support portion and/or the second contact portion has a through portion in the bottom surface or the side surface.
Frame profile for a frame rack of a switch cabinet, and a corresponding frame rack
The invention relates to a frame profile for a frame rack of a switch cabinet, wherein the frame profile has: a first and a second profile web, wherein a free end of the first profile web has a first sealing edge, and a free end of the second profile web has a second sealing edge, a first mounting side with fixing receptacles, which first mounting side is spaced apart from the first sealing edge by a first dimension of a first connecting side of the first profile web, which connects the first mounting side to the first sealing edge, a second mounting side with fixing receptacles, which second mounting side is spaced apart from the second sealing edge by a second dimension of a second connecting side of the second profile web, which connects the second mounting side to the second sealing edge, characterized in that at least one of the profile webs has an undercut.
Modular shelving assemblies and methods of construction
A shelving assembly can be constructed of panels and specialized connecting components that form interconnected hexagonal, triangular, or square cells. The shelving assembly can be adapted to a variety of sizes and configurations and can incorporate smaller cells with larger cells and different shape cells for more modularity. The connecting components attach to the front and rear edges of the panels without special tools. The connecting components also connect the corners of cell shapes and provide strength to the overall structure. The shelving assembly can be completely disassembled into the panels and the connecting components, allowing the shelving assembly to be easily moved and reconstructed.
MODULAR CABINET AND CONNECTOR MODULE THEREOF
A cabinet includes a structural frame including a plurality of connecting rods and a plurality of connector modules each of which includes first and second connectors. The first connector includes two first main plate portions perpendicularly connected to each other, a first fastening hole, and a limiting indented portion. The second connector includes a second main plate portion perpendicular to the first main plate portions, a seat body connected to the second main plate portion and having a first fastening hole corresponding in position to the first fastening hole of the first connector, and a limiting protruding portion protruding from the second main plate portion and having a shape complementing with that of the limiting indented portion.
Convertible display and storage bin
A collapsible storage bin comprising a base, at least two sidewalls each rotatably coupled to the base, and at least one corner rail. Each of the at least two sidewalls rotates from a storage position within the base to a use position extending out of the base. Opposing ends of each of the at least two sidewalls is formed by a channel open toward the channel of the other of the first side end and the second side end top to define a first coupling flange as part of the first side end and a second coupling flange as part of the second side end. The at least one corner rail includes a first planar segment and a second planar segment coupled edge-to-edge to each other. Each of the first planar segment and the second planar segment terminates with a return to form a different elongated reception channel open toward the other of the first planar segment and the second planar segment. The at least one corner rail selectively and slidably receives the first coupling flange of a first one of the at least two sidewalls within the elongated reception channel of the first planar segment, and the at least one corner rail selectively and slidably receives the second coupling flange of a second one of the at least two sidewalls within the elongated reception channel of the second planar segment to hold the at least two sidewalls substantially perpendicular to one another.
