Abstract

A supporting device includes a first supporting frame having a first supporting means including a first and a second supporting part, and a second supporting frame having a second supporting means including a third and a fourth supporting part. A supporting passage is defined by the first and the second supporting part. The first and the second supporting means are to support each other. A rail member is to be connected to one of the first and the second supporting frame. The first and the second supporting part are to support the third and the fourth supporting part, respectively. The first supporting frame further includes a first side wall connected to the first and the second supporting part. The first supporting part has a first portion extended from a first end of the first side wall to form a first angle therebetween. The first angle is a non-right angle.

Claims

1. A supporting device for a rail member, comprising:

a first supporting frame having a first supporting means comprising a first supporting part and a second supporting part, a supporting passage being defined by the first supporting part and the second supporting part; and

a second supporting frame having a second supporting means comprising a third supporting part and a fourth supporting part, the first supporting means and the second supporting means being configured to support each other;

wherein the rail member is configured to be connected to one of the first supporting frame and the second supporting frame, the first supporting part of the first supporting frame is configured to support the third supporting part of the second supporting frame, and the second supporting part of the first supporting frame is configured to support the fourth supporting part of the second supporting frame;

wherein the first supporting frame further comprises a first side wall connected to the first supporting part and the second supporting part, the first supporting part of the first supporting frame has a first portion, the first portion is extended from a first end of the first side wall to form a first angle therebetween, and the first angle is a non-right angle;

wherein the first supporting frame has a first cross-section perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the first supporting frame, the first supporting part has a first wall thickness on the first cross-section, the second supporting part has a second wall thickness on the first cross-section, the first side wall has a third wall thickness on the first cross-section, and the first wall thickness, the second wall thickness and the third wall thickness are fixed, respectively;

wherein the second supporting frame has a second cross-section perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the second supporting frame, the third supporting part has a fourth wall thickness on the second cross-section, the fourth supporting part has a fifth wall thickness on the second cross-section, and the fourth wall thickness and the fifth wall thickness are fixed, respectively;

wherein the first supporting part and the third supporting part abut against each other, the second supporting part and the fourth supporting part abut against each other;

wherein the supporting device further comprises a first bracket and a second bracket, the first bracket is arranged on the rail member, the second bracket is arranged on the second supporting frame, the first bracket and the second bracket are configured to mount the supporting device on two posts.

2. The supporting device of claim 1, wherein the second supporting part is extended from a second end of the first side wall to form a second angle therebetween, the first angle is substantially equal to the second angle and arranged as an acute angle.

3. The supporting device of claim 1, wherein the second supporting frame further comprises a second side wall extendedly connected to the third supporting part and the fourth supporting part, the second side wall has a fixed sixth wall thickness on the second cross-section, the first wall thickness, the second wall thickness and the third wall thickness are equal to each other, and the fourth wall thickness, the fifth wall thickness and the sixth wall thickness are equal to each other.
