Abstract

A rack assembly comprises: an elongated main frame, a front surface of which is formed with a first display area, an inclined second display area, and a concave space defined therebetween, the first display area is defined with plural first limiting grooves and a longitudinally-extending first rail, the second display area is provided with at least one second limiting groove and an inclined second rail. At least one base plate is mounted in the concave space and includes a horizontal top portion for pivotally fixing a positioning sleeve and a longitudinal portion formed with at least one hanging hole for fixing to an object. Plural suspension members are detachably engaged in the first and second limiting grooves and each provided with an abutting portion to be abutted against the first and second rails, and a retaining portion to be engaged in the first and second limiting grooves.

Claims

1. A rack assembly comprising:

an elongated main frame, a front surface of which extending longitudinally to form a first display area, and a lower edge of the first display area being folded and then extending downward at an inclined angle to form a second display area, a concave space being defined between a rear surface of the first display area and the second display area, the first display area being longitudinally defined with a plurality of parallel and spaced-apart first limiting grooves, each of the first limiting grooves being provided with a longitudinally-extending first rail, the second display area being provided with at least one second limiting groove which is defined with an upper horizontally-extending abutting portion and a lower inclined second rail;

at least one base plate longitudinally mounted in the concave space of the main frame and including a horizontal top portion and a longitudinal portion, one end of the top portion being fixed to a top of the rear surface of the first display area, a positioning sleeve being pivotally and detachably disposed on a top portion of the base plate and provided for insertion of a personal belonging with a positioning shaft, the longitudinal portion of the base plate is formed with at least one hanging hole and a plurality of positioning threaded holes for fixing to an object, the longitudinal portion of each base plate is fixed to an object by a screw screwed through the hanging hole; and

a plurality of suspension members detachably engaged in the first and second limiting grooves and each being provided with an abutting portion to be abutted against the first and second rails, and a retaining portion to be engaged in the first and second limiting grooves.

2. The rack assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein both ends of the main frame are covered with a covering plate.

3. The rack assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the longitudinal portion of the base plate is fixed to a wall by a screw screwed through the hanging hole.

4. The rack assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the longitudinal portion of the base plate is additionally provided with a seat which is used to stand on a table, the seat includes a supporting portion and a horizontal extending positioning portion.

5. The rack assembly as claimed in claim 4, wherein the positioning portion of the seat is additionally provided with a C-shaped clamp which is used to clamp an edge of the table.

6. The rack assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the abutting portion of the suspension members extends laterally to form a pen holder for storage of stationery.

8. The rack assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein a through hole is defined in the top portion of the base plate, the positioning sleeve includes a neck portion sized correspondingly to a diameter of the through hole and a head portion stopped against an outer peripheral edge of the through hole of the base plate, and the positioning sleeve is further axially provided with a positioning hole for insertion of a positioning shaft of a lamp holder.

9. The rack assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein a multipurpose rack is fixed at an end of the abutting portion of the suspension members, one end of the multipurpose rack is provided with a holding board for holding of LCD display, keyboard, sound box, monitor, and etc.
