Rack for holding objects on
Abstract
A rack includes a main frame, two rotary frames, and several
holding rack parts; the main frame has lateral supporting portions
at two ends thereof; the rotary frames are pivoted to respective
ones of the lateral supporting portions of the main frame; each
holding rack part is pivoted to the rotary frames at two ends
thereof, and has several receiving holes thereon for objects to be
passed through; thus, after objects are passed through the
receiving holes and held on the holding rack parts, the objects
will cause the rotary frames to change angular position due to
gravity, and will always be upright.

Claims
What is claimed is:
1. A rack for holding objects on, comprising a main frame having
lateral supporting portions at two ends thereof; two rotary frames
pivoted to respective ones of the lateral supporting portions of
the main frame; and a plurality of holding rack parts each pivoted
to the rotary frames at two ends thereof; each of the holding rack
parts having a plurality of receiving holes thereon for objects to
be passed through.
2. The rack as claimed in claim 1, wherein each holding rack part
has a plurality of rings connected together for providing the
receiving holes.
3. The rack as claimed in claim 1, wherein the receiving holes have
different sizes.
4. The rack as claimed in claim 2, wherein the receiving holes have
different sizes.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] 1. Field of the Invention
[0002] The present invention relates to a rack, more particularly
one, which is structured such that objects held thereon can't fall
over.
[0003] 2. Brief Description of the Prior Art
[0004] A conventional rack, which is usually used for holding
objects such as bottles, jars, and cups, includes a frame, and
several flat boards fitted to the frame for objects to be held
on.
[0005] Because bottles, jars, and cups are merely held on flat
surfaces, they are likely to fall over when the rack is suddenly
moved or subjected to vibration.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0006] It is a main object of the present invention to provide a
rack to overcome the above disadvantage.
[0007] The rack of the present invention includes a main frame, two
rotary frames, and several holding rack parts. The main frame has
lateral supporting portions at two ends. The rotary frames are
pivoted to respective ones of the lateral supporting portions of
the main frame. Each holding rack part is pivoted to the rotary
frames at two ends, and has several receiving holes thereon for
objects to be passed through. Thus, after objects are passed
through the receiving holes and held on the holding rack parts, the
objects will cause the rotary frames to change angular position due
to gravity, and will always be upright without possibility of
falling over.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0008] The present invention will be better understood by referring
to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
[0009] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the rack of the present
invention,
[0010] FIG. 2 is a partial section of the rack of the present
invention,
[0011] FIG. 3 is a side view of the rack of the present invention,
and
[0012] FIG. 4 is a side view of the present rack in use.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0013] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, a preferred embodiment of the
rack of the present invention includes a main frame 1, two rotary
frames 2, and several holding rack parts 3.
[0014] The main frame 1 has two lateral supporting portions 11 at
two ends, which are projected upwards, and opposed with each other.
The rotary frames 2 are pivoted to respective ones of the lateral
supporting portions 11 of the main frame 1. The holding rack parts
3 are each pivoted to the rotary frames 2 at two ends thereof. And,
each of the holding rack parts 3 has several rings 31 connected
together for holding objects, e.g. bottles, cups, and jars, in
position, each of which rings 31 has a receiving hole 32 for
allowing objects to be passed through. The rings 31 are formed with
different diameters for suiting various objects.
[0015] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 4, to hold objects such as bottles,
cups, and jars on the present rack, the objects are passed through,
and kept in position by the rings 31 of the holding rack parts 3.
Because the holding rack parts 3 are free to turn, after the
objects are held on the holding rack parts 3, the objects will
cause the rotary frames 2 to change angular position due to
gravity, and will always be steady on the holding rack parts 3 in
upright position without possibility of falling over.
[0016] Furthermore, in case one person wants to pick up one of the
objects held on the present rack that is currently on the other
side, i.e. the rear side, of the rack, he can first make this
object moved to the front side of the rack so as to be closer to
him and easy to reach by means of turning the rotary frames 2.
[0017] From the above description, it can be easily understood that
the present rack has advantages as followings:
[0018] 1. After objects are held on the holding rack parts 3, the
objects will cause the rotary frames 2 to change angular position
due to gravity, and will always be steady on the holding rack parts
3 without possibility of falling over.
[0019] 2. One can make a certain object on the rack moved closer to
him with ease by means of turning the rotary frames 2 such that the
object is easy to pick up.
