DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

(15) First, please refer to FIGS. 1-7. In a first embodiment of the present invention, a storage shelf comprises a storage frame 10, wherein the storage frame 10 has a plurality of ring sockets 11, a frame member 12 and a steel plate 13. The frame member 12 comprises a plurality of frame member units 121 configured for assembly into a rectangular shape. The frame member unit 121 further comprises an edge wing 1211 lower than a top surface of the frame member unit 121, and each frame member unit 121 further has a plurality of rib grooves 1212 grooves on a surface of the frame member unit 121. A plurality of the combining pieces 122 are attached and welded on inner surfaces of the frame member units 121 to combined the plurality of the frame member units 121. The frame member 12 comprises a plurality of ring grooves 123 for engaging with the ring socket 11, and each frame member unit 121 further has a bottom surface 1213. The steel plate 13 is capable of being welded onto the edge wings 1211 or a top of the frame member 12 to complete the storage frame 10.

(16) Furthermore, the frame member 12 further comprises a plurality of reinforcement strips 14 disposed parallel with an edge of the storage frame 10 to enhance structural stability of the storage frame 10. A side face of each reinforcement strip 14 is capable of adhering onto an inner side of the frame member unit 121, and a top face or a bottom face of each reinforcement strip 14 is capable of being adhered onto the edge wings 1211 or the bottom surface 1213 of the frame member unit 121.

(17) With the above structure, the frame member unit 121 is attached and welded to the inner surfaces of the two frame member units 121 via the combining pieces 122, thereby having a larger contact area for easy welding, so that the frame member units 121 are easier to be combined together. Also, the combining pieces 122 are hidden inside the frame member unit 121, making the surface of the frame member 12 smooth without welding marks, and the ring groove 123 is designed to snap on the ring socket 11 to ensure the assembly, which allows the storage frame 10 is relatively simple and convenient to manufacture and assemble.

(18) Moreover, the steel plate 13 is a better material for heavier objects. The inner side of the frame member 12 is capable of being combined with the reinforcement strip 14 to increase the structural strength. In addition, the upper edge of the frame member unit 121 forms an edge wing 1211 inward with a height difference, and the presence of the rib groove 1212 also enhances the structure, which makes the storage frame 10 to be more stable and durable.

(19) When using the steel plate 13, objects can be steadily place on the solid steel plate 13, and the ring socket 11 can be jacketed onto the pole, thereby utilizing multiple storage frames 10 for storage at different heights. Furthermore, since the edge wing 1211 is lower than the top surface of the frame member unit 121, the steel plate 13 can be placed more easily without displacement.

(20) As shown in FIG. 6, the combining pieces 122 are flat and welded onto only inner surfaces of the rib grooves 1212.

(21) As shown in FIG. 8, the combining piece 122 are curved corresponding to the rib grooves 1212, and the combining pieces 122 are capable of attaching onto the frame member unit 121 and the rib grooves 1212.

(22) As shown in FIG. 9, the steel plate 13 is placed on the top of the frame member 12.

(23) As shown in FIGS. 1 to 9, the reinforcement strips 14 are attached onto the inner side of the frame member 12 in a direction parallel with a short edge of the storage frame 10. Alternatively, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the reinforcement strips 14 are attached onto the inner side of the frame member 12 in a direction parallel with a long edge of the storage frame 10.

(24) Additionally, the combining pieces 122 are welded onto the inner surface of the frame member unit 121.

(25) As shown in FIGS. 1 to 9, a cross-section of each reinforcement strip 14 has a U shape. As shown in FIG. 12, the reinforcement strips 14 are flat or have an L shaped cross-section, an open trapezoidal shape or a V shape.

(26) Also, there are four ring sockets 11 corresponding to the four corners of the frame member 12.

(27) Although the present invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of invention as hereinafter claimed.
