Abstract

A positioning rack includes a main frame, and a plurality of blade plates. The main frame includes a base and a plurality of support arms. Each of the blade plates is formed with at least one guide slot having an end formed with a locking groove. Each of the support arms has at least one locking member having a locking post detachably inserted into the locking groove, and a catch block formed on a distal end of the locking post and rested on a surface of a respective blade plate. Thus, each of the blade plates is removed from the respective support arm easily and conveniently without needing aid of a tool, thereby facilitating the user replacing the blade plates.

Claims

1 . A positioning rack, comprising a main frame, and a plurality of blade plates, wherein: 
 the main frame includes a base and a plurality of support arms mounted on the base;    each of the blade plates is detachably mounted on a respective one of the support arms of the main frame;    each of the blade plates is formed with at least one guide slot having an end formed with a locking groove;    each of the support arms of the main frame has a side formed with at least one protruding locking member detachably mounted on a respective one of the blade plates;    the locking member of each of the support arms of the main frame includes a locking post extended through the guide slot and detachably inserted into the locking groove of a respective one of the blade plates, and a catch block formed on a distal end of the locking post and rested on a surface of a respective one of the blade plates.    
   
   
       2 . The positioning rack in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein each of the blade plates has two sides each formed with a plurality of hook-shaped separation portions and a plurality of positioning recesses located between the separation portions.  
   
   
       3 . The positioning rack in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the locking groove of each of the blade plates communicates with the guide slot.  
   
   
       4 . The positioning rack in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the guide slot of each of the blade plates has a width smaller than that of the locking groove.  
   
   
       5 . The positioning rack in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the guide slot is extended in a longitudinal direction of each of the blade plates.  
   
   
       6 . The positioning rack in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the locking groove is extended in a longitudinal direction of each of the blade plates.  
   
   
       7 . The positioning rack in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the catch block of the locking member is extended through the guide slot of a respective one of the blade-plates.  
   
   
       8 . The positioning rack in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the catch block of the locking member has a width greater than that of the locking post and smaller than that of the respective guide slot.  
   
   
       9 . The positioning rack in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the catch block of the locking member is vertical to a longitudinal direction of each of the support arms of the main frame.  
   
   
       10 . A positioning rack, comprising a first main frame, a plurality of first blade plates each mounted on the first main frame, a second main frame, a plurality of second blade plates each mounted on the second main frame, and a separation tube mounted between the first main frame and the second main frame, wherein: 
 each of the first main frame and second main frame includes a base and a plurality of support arms mounted on the base;    each of the first blade plates and second blade plates is detachably mounted on a respective one of the support arms of the first main frame and second main frame respectively;    each of the first blade plates and second blade plates is formed with at least one guide slot having an end formed with a locking groove;    each of the support arms of each of the first main frame and second main frame has a side formed with at least one protruding locking member including a locking post extended through the guide slot and detachably inserted into the locking groove of a respective one of the first blade plates and second blade plates, and a catch block formed on a distal end of the locking post and rested on a surface of a respective one of the first blade plates and second blade plates.    
   
   
       11 . The positioning rack in accordance with  claim 10 , wherein the base of each of the first main frame and second main frame is formed with a shaft hole and has a first end formed with a first shaft tube and a second end formed with a tapered second shaft tube, and the separation tube has a first end mounted in the first shaft tube of the first main frame and a second end mounted on the second shaft tube of the second main frame.  
   
   
       12 . The positioning rack in accordance with  claim 11 , further comprising a shaft extended through the shaft hole of the base of the first main frame, the separation tube and the shaft hole of the base of the second main frame to combine the first main frame, the separation tube and the second main frame.  
   
   
       13 . The positioning rack in accordance with  claim 12 , wherein the shaft hole of the base of each of the first main frame and second main frame is formed with a catch wall located between the first shaft tube and the second shaft tube, the shaft has a first end formed with a shaft head mounted in the second shaft tube of the first main frame and rested on the catch wall of the first main frame and a second end formed with an outer thread extended outward from the second main frame, and the positioning rack further comprises a nut screwed on the outer thread of the shaft.  
   
   
       14 . The positioning rack in accordance with  claim 13 , wherein the nut is mounted in the first shaft tube of the second main frame and rested on the catch wall of the second main frame.  
   
   
       15 . The positioning rack in accordance with  claim 10 , wherein each of the first blade plates and second blade plates has two sides each formed with a plurality of hook-shaped separation portions and a plurality of positioning recesses located between the separation portions.
