Abstract

The storage rack according to the present disclosure is adapted for storing an article therein, and comprises one or snore rack bodies capable of being assembled together that each includes four spaced apart main rods, two horizontal rods, two support rods and an engaging unit. Two of the main rods cooperatively define a first imaginary side plane, the other two of said main rods cooperatively define a second imaginary side plane opposite to the first imaginary side plane. The two horizontal rods extend along the first and second imaginary side planes and respectively intersect a pair of the main rods defining the first and second imaginary side planes. The two support rods cooperatively define an imaginary support plane for supporting the article.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A storage rack adapted for storing an article therein, said storage rack comprising a rack body that includes:
 four main rods spaced apart from one another and cooperatively defining a receiving space thereamong, each of said main rods having opposite first and second ends, two of said main rods cooperatively defining a first imaginary side plane, the other two of said main rods cooperatively defining a second imaginary side plane that is opposite to said first imaginary side plane;   two horizontal rods, each of which extends along a respective one of said first and second imaginary side planes and intersects a respective pair of said main rods defining said respective one of said first and second imaginary side planes;   two support rods, each of said support rods having a support segment that intersects said horizontal rods, said support segments of said support rods cooperatively defining an imaginary support plane that is adapted for supporting the article; and   an engaging unit including
 a first engaging subunit that includes at least one linking rod connected to said first ends of said main rods, and an engaging frame connected to said linking rod, and 
 a second engaging subunit that is connected to said second ends of said main rods and that is adapted to be engageable with said engaging frame of said first engaging subunit of said rack body of another one of said storage rack. 
   
     
     
         2 . The storage rack as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein each of said support rods further has a stop segment extending transversely from said support segment. 
     
     
         3 . The storage rack as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein:
 said stop segment of each one of said support rods has a distal, end distal from said support segment; and   a distance between the imaginary support plane and said first end of any one of said main rods is longer than that between the imaginary support plane and said distal end of said stop segment of any one of said support rods.   
     
     
         4 . The storage rack as claimed in  claim 2 , said rack body further includes first and second connecting rods, said first connecting rod interconnecting ends of said support segments of said support rods that are opposite to said stop segments of said support rods, said second connecting rod interconnecting said distal ends of said stop segments of said support rod. 
     
     
         5 . The storage rack as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein:
 said support segments of said support rods extend through said receiving space; and   said stop segments of said support rods extend respectively from ends of said support segments opposite to said first connecting segment, and is disposed outside of said receiving space.   
     
     
         6 . The storage rack as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein:
 two of said main rods cooperatively define an imaginary front plane that is perpendicular to the first and second imaginary side planes;   the other two of said main rods cooperatively define an imaginary rear plane that is opposite to the imaginary front plane and that is perpendicular to the first and second imaginary side planes; and   said rack body further includes a limiting rod that extends along the imaginary front plane and that interconnects said two of said main rods which define the imaginary front plane.   
     
     
         7 . The storage rack as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein:
 two of said main rods cooperatively define an imaginary front plane that is perpendicular to the first and second imaginary side planes;   the other two of said main rods cooperatively define an imaginary rear plane that is opposite to the imaginary front plane and that is perpendicular to the first and second imaginary side planes; and   said rack body further includes
 two spaced-apart crossing rods that extend along the imaginary rear plane and that interconnect said two of said main rods which define the imaginary rear plane, and 
 at least one fixing plate that interconnects said crossing rods and that is formed with a through hole adapted for extension of a fastener therethrough to fix said storage rack to a reference surface. 
   
     
     
         8 . The storage rack as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said rack body is made of metal.
