Abstract

A foldable shipping shelf comprises: a loading part, two supporting parts, continuous hinges, and at least two first and second limiting parts. Each supporting part is connected to the loading part through at least one continuous hinge, and the two supporting parts are respectively connected to two opposite sides of the loading part. The first limiting parts are respectively fixed to the supporting parts at a place near to the loading part and keep the loading part in position. The second limiting parts are respectively fixed to the loading part at a place near to the supporting parts and keep the supporting parts in position. The two supporting parts rotate through the continuous hinges, and the first and second limiting parts limit a range for rotating the two supporting parts.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified

         2 . The foldable shipping shelf of  claim 1 , wherein each first limiting part has a first hole, and each second limiting part has a second hole, while each first hole corresponds to each second hole, and 
 the foldable shipping shelf further comprising a plurality of fixing member sets, wherein each fixing member set goes through the first hole and the second hole, in order to fix the first limiting part and the second limiting part together.    
     
     
         3 . The foldable shipping shelf of  claim 2 , wherein each fixing member set comprises a bolt and a nylon nut.  
     
     
         4 . The foldable shipping shelf of  claim 1 , wherein each continuous hinge comprises: 
 a first connecting part, fixed to each supporting part; and    a second connecting part, fixed to the loading part.    
     
     
         5 . The foldable shipping shelf of  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of strengthen trusses which are fixed to at least two sides of the loading part.  
     
     
         6 . The foldable shipping shelf of  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of strengthen trusses which are fixed to at least two sides of the supporting parts.  
     
     
         7 . The foldable shipping shelf of  claim 1 , wherein the first limiting parts are substantially right triangles.  
     
     
         8 . The foldable shipping shelf of  claim 1 , wherein the second limiting parts are substantially right triangles.  
     
     
         9 . The foldable shipping shelf of  claim 1 , further comprising at least two strengthen trusses which are fixed beneath the loading part, wherein the two strengthen trusses are parallel L shaped angle irons that are face-to-face or back-to-back.  
     
     
         10 . A foldable shipping shelf, comprising: 
 a loading part, substantially being a rectangle frame;    two supporting parts, wherein each supporting part is substantially a rectangle frame;    a plurality of continuous hinges, wherein each supporting part is connected to the loading part through at least one continuous hinge, and the two supporting parts are respectively connected to two opposite sides of the loading part;    at least two first limiting parts, respectively fixed to the supporting part at a place near to the loading part, wherein each first limiting part has a first hole;    at least two second limiting parts, respectively fixed to the loading part at a place near to the supporting part, wherein each second limiting part has a second hole, while each first hole corresponds to each second hole; and    a plurality of fixing member sets, wherein each fixing member set goes through the first hole and the second hole, in order to fix the first limiting part and the second limiting part together.    
     
     
         11 . The foldable shipping shelf of  claim 10 , wherein each fixing member set comprises a bolt and a nylon nut.  
     
     
         12 . The foldable shipping shelf of  claim 10 , further comprising at least two strengthen trusses which are fixed beneath the loading part, wherein the two strengthen trusses are parallel L shaped angle irons that are face-to-face or back-to-back.  
     
     
         13 . A foldable shipping shelf, comprising: 
 a loading part, substantially being a rectangular frame;    two supporting parts, wherein each supporting part is substantially a rectangular frame;    a plurality of continuous hinges, wherein each supporting part is connected to the loading part through at least one continuous hinge, and the two supporting parts are respectively connected to two opposite sides of the loading part; and    at least two limiting parts, respectively fixed to the supporting part at a place near to the loading part, wherein each first limiting part has a first side and a second side, while the first side is fixed to the supporting part, and the second side keeps the loading part in a position,    wherein the two supporting parts rotate through the continuous hinges, and the limiting parts limit a range for rotating the two supporting parts.
