DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

(11) With reference to FIGS. 1-10, a hook connection structure of a shelf according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is configured to connect a fixing rod 40 between two hooks 30 which are connected on two bottoms of two connection racks 10, and the fixing rod 40 is mounted below a holding plate 20 by using the two hooks 30; wherein

(12) a respective one hook 30 includes a connection portion 31 configured to connect with the fixing rod 40, formed in a circle shape, having a central orifice 311 which is screwed with the fixing rod 40 by using a screw bolt 1, and having multiple peripheral orifices 312 defined around the central orifice 311 (as shown in FIG. 1-8), wherein the connection portion 31 is alternatively formed in a hook shape and has a retaining groove 313 configured to engage with the fixing rod 40 (as illustrated in FIGS. 9-10), and the connection portion 31 has an extension 32 extending from a top thereof, an engagement section 33 extending downward from a front end of the extension 32, a contact rib 34 extending from a bottom of the front end of the extension 32 opposite to the engagement section 33, a stop tab 35 formed on a rear end of the extension 32, and an insertion 36 extending upward from a top of the stop tab 35, wherein a respective one connection rack 10 includes a slot 12 formed on a predetermined position of an elongated portion 11 thereof and configured to obliquely receive the extension 32 of the respective one hook 30, a notch 13 defined on a front position of the slot 12 and configured to engage with the engagement section 33 of the extension 32 of the respective one hook 30, wherein a distance between the slot 12 and the notch 13 is equal to the engagement section 33 of the extension 32 of the respective one hook 30 and the contact rib 34 of the extension 32, and the respective one connection rack 10 further includes a trough 14 defined adjacent to the slot 12 and away from the notch 13 and configured to receive the insertion 36.

(13) As desiring to connect the respective one hook 30 on the bottom of the respective one connection rack 10, the extension 32 of the respective one hook 30 is obliquely received in the slot 12 of the respective one connection rack 10 and is rotated so as to engage the engagement section 33 with the notch 13, and the contact rib 34 is retained with the slot 12, and the stop tab 35 of the extension 32 of the respective one hook 30 abuts against the elongated portion 11 of the respective one connection rack 10. When the insertion 36 extends upward from the top of the stop tab 35, the insertion 36 is engaged in the trough 14 upward so that the respective one hook 30 is engaged with the respective one connection rack 10 (as shown in FIGS. 3 and 8), and the connection portion 31 of the respective one hook 30 is connected with the fixing rod 40 alternatively. For example, the central orifice 311 of the connection portion 31 of the respective one hook 30 is screwed with the fixing rod 40 by using the screw bolt 1. Alternatively, when two shelves are connected, a threaded post 2 is inserted through the central orifice 311 to screw with two fixing rods 40 (as illustrated in FIGS. 5-6). When the connection portion 31 of the respective one hook 30 is formed in the hook shape and has the retaining groove 313, the retaining groove 313 is engaged with a locking trench 41 of the fixing rod 40 (as shown in FIGS. 9-10), and the respective one hook 30 is connected on the bottom of the respective one connection rack 10. Thereby, the fixing rod 40 is configured to hang objects, and the holding plate 20 is configured to accommodate the other objects.

(14) Accordingly, the hook connection structure of the shelf is configured to connect the fixing rod between two hooks which are engaged on two bottoms of two connection racks, and the fixing rod is mounted below the holding plate by using the two hooks, thus hanging the objects on the fixing rod and accommodating the other objects on the holding plate.

(15) While the preferred embodiments of the invention have been set forth for the purpose of disclosure, modifications of the disclosed embodiments of the invention as well as other embodiments thereof may occur to those skilled in the art. Accordingly, the appended claims are intended to cover all embodiments which do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention.
