Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] 1. Field of the Invention
[0002] The present invention relates to a wall rack and more
particularly to an adjustable wall rack that can be conveniently
adjusted to fit the size of the device to be supported thereon.
[0003] 2. Description of the Related Art
[0004] A wall rack may be used and fastened to a vertical wall to
support a monitor, wall ornament, cabinet, LCD TV, Plasma TV, or
the like. Conventional wall racks for this purpose commonly have a
certain thickness that requires much installation space. Further,
conventional wall racks commonly have a fixed size. For supporting
different objects of different sizes, different wall racks must be
used.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0005] The present invention has been accomplished under the
circumstances in view. It is the main object of the present
invention to provide a wall rack, which is adjustable to fit the
size of the device to be supported thereon.
[0006] To achieve this and other objects of the present invention,
the wall rack comprises a bottom board, which comprises two
L-shaped coupling rails transversely provided in parallel at a
front side thereof and a plurality of elongated mounting slots cut
through front and back sides therefore for fastening to a vertical
wall with screws, a locating board, which is slidably supported on
the bottom board, comprising two L-shaped coupling rails
transversely provided at a back side thereof and respectively
coupled to the L-shaped coupling rails of the bottom board and a
plurality of locating grooves transversely arranged in parallel at
a front side thereof, two locating bars, which are mounted on the
locating board for supporting a device on said locating board, each
having a plurality of elongated mounting slots, and fastening
elements respectively mounted in the elongated mounting slots of
the locating bars and engaged into the locating grooves of the
locating board to secure the locating bars to the locating
bard.
[0007] The adjustable wall rack further comprises two eye-end
screws respectively fastened to the bottom board and the locating
board at one side, and a lock fastened to the eye-end screws to
lock the locating board to the bottom board.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0008] FIG. 1 is an elevational view of an adjustable wall rack
according to the present invention.
[0009] FIG. 2 is an exploded view of the adjustable wall rack
according to the present invention.
[0010] FIG. 3 illustrates the locating bars fastened to the
locating board in a vertical position and a padlock fastened to the
locating board and the bottom board according to the present
invention.
[0011] FIG. 4 shows the locating bars fastened to the locating
board in an oblique position according to the present
invention.
[0012] FIG. 5 shows a triangle block fixedly provided at the back
side of the bottom board according to the present invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
[0013] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, an adjustable wall rack in
accordance with the present invention is shown comprising a bottom
board 10, a locating board 2, and two locating bars 3.
[0014] The bottom board 1 comprises two L-shaped coupling rails 11
transversely provided in parallel at the front side, a plurality of
screw holes 12 respectively disposed at the two opposite lateral
sides, and a plurality of elongated mounting slots 13 cut through
the front and back sides.
[0015] The locating board 2 comprises two L-shaped coupling rails
21 transversely provided in parallel at the back side and
respectively coupled to the coupling rails 11 of the bottom board

[0016] The locating bars 3 are channel bars, each having a
plurality of elongated mounting slots 31 aligned in line.
[0017] Screws 4 are mounted in the elongated mounting slots 13 and
fastened to the wall to affix the bottom board 1 to the wall.
Thereafter, the coupling rails 21 of the locating board 2 are
respectively coupled to the coupling rails 11 of the bottom board 1
to have the locating board 2 be supported on the bottom board 1,
and then screws 5 are respectively mounted in the elongated
mounting slots 31 and engaged into the locating grooves 22 to
secure the locating bars 3 to the locating board 2 for holding a
