Abstract

A placement rack includes a rear frame, two side plates pivotally connected with the rear frame, a front panel pivotally connected with the two side plates, and a bottom plate pivotally connected with the rear frame and abutting the front panel. Thus, the placement rack can be folded to have a smaller volume to decrease the cost in packaging, storage and transportation of the placement rack.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A placement rack, comprising:
 a rear frame;   two side plates pivotally connected with the rear frame;   a front panel pivotally connected with the two side plates; and   a bottom plate pivotally connected with the rear frame and abutting the front panel.   
     
     
         2 . The placement rack of  claim 1 , wherein
 each of the two side plates has a rear end pivotally connected with the rear frame and has a front end pivotally connected with the front panel;   the bottom plate has a rear end pivotally connected with the rear frame and has a front end abutting the front panel;   the rear frame has two opposite ends each provided with at least one mounting bracket pivotally connected with the rear end of a respective one of the two side plates;   the front panel has two opposite ends each provided with at least one mounting seat pivotally connected with the front end of a respective one of the two side plates.   
     
     
         3 . The placement rack of  claim 2 , wherein the front panel has a lower end provided with at least one stop piece abutting a bottom of the front end of the bottom plate. 
     
     
         4 . The placement rack of  claim 1 , wherein the rear frame has a side provided with at least one hanging hook. 
     
     
         5 . The placement rack of  claim 2 , wherein the rear frame has a lower end provided with at least one pivot sleeve pivotally connected with the rear end of the bottom plate. 
     
     
         6 . The placement rack of  claim 1 , wherein each of the two side plates has a middle portion provided with at least one movable snaps. 
     
     
         7 . The placement rack of  claim 1 , wherein the two side plates are pivotally connected between the rear frame and the front panel. 
     
     
         8 . The placement rack of  claim 2 , wherein the rear end of each of the two side plates is pivotable about the respective mounting bracket of the rear frame so that each of the two side plates is pivotable relative to the rear frame. 
     
     
         9 . The placement rack of  claim 2 , wherein the rear end of the bottom plate is pivotable about the pivot sleeve of the rear frame so that each of the bottom plate is pivotable relative to the rear frame. 
     
     
         10 . The placement rack of  claim 5 , wherein the front end of each of the two side plates is pivotable about the respective mounting seat of the front panel so that each of the two side plates is pivotable relative to the front panel. 
     
     
         11 . The placement rack of  claim 3 , wherein the stop piece of the front panel has a curved shape. 
     
     
         12 . The placement rack of  claim 3 , wherein the front end of the bottom plate is detachably placed on and supported by the stop piece of the front panel. 
     
     
         13 . The placement rack of  claim 5 , wherein
 the rear end of the bottom plate is pivoted about the pivot sleeve of the rear frame so that the bottom plate is pivoted upward to abut the rear frame;   the two side plates are pivoted sideward relative to the rear frame to move the front panel toward the rear frame so that the front panel is moved to abut the rear frame so as to fold the placement rack.   
     
     
         14 . The placement rack of  claim 5 , wherein
 the two side plates are pivoted outward relative to the rear frame so as to move the front panel outward relative to the rear frame so that the front panel is moved to space from the rear frame;   the rear end of the bottom plate is pivoted about the pivot sleeve of the rear frame so that the bottom plate is pivoted downward relative to the rear frame, and the front end of the bottom plate is moved downward to abut the stop piece of the front panel so as to expand the placement rack.
