DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a structure of a rack for storing electronic equipment and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a rack for accommodating electronic equipment and the like has been as shown in FIG. That is, the rack 31
Is composed of a square bottom plate 32, columns 33, 33, 33, 33 suspended vertically near four corners of the bottom plate 32, and a square top plate (not shown) attached to the upper surfaces of these columns. The main body 34, the top plate and the bottom plate 32 of the main body 34, and the support 3
3 and a panel 35 attached to the space surrounded by. The panel 35 is also provided on the opposing surface, and screws 37, 37, 37 are provided in screw holes 36, 36, 36, 36 provided near the four corners.
It is attached by fixing means such as 37, 37 or a coin fastener.

[0003]

However, in the conventional rack 31 described above, screws 36 and coin fasteners must be used to attach the panel 35 to the main body 34. If the space at the site is small, the panel 35 is required for maintenance. There is a drawback in that it is difficult to insert a tool into a narrow space when removing the device, and it is very difficult to work. In addition, there is a drawback that the work is performed in an unstable posture in which the panel 35 is pressed with one hand and a tool such as a screwdriver is handled with the other hand, which involves a danger.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above problems of the conventional rack, an object of the present invention is to provide a rack in which a panel can be easily and safely mounted on a main body.
A main body comprising at least a square bottom plate, a column suspended near four corners of the bottom plate, and a rectangular top plate attached to the upper surface of the column; and the top plate, the bottom plate, and the column of the main body. In a rack comprising a panel mounted in a space surrounded by, a bottom plate is provided with an engagement portion, and the panel is provided with an engagement portion and fixing means, and an engagement portion of the bottom plate and an engagement portion of the panel are provided. Can be engaged with each other, and the panel is attached to the main body by the fixing means of the panel in the engaged state.

[0005]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In order to attach a panel to a rack body, an engaging portion of a bottom plate and an engaging portion of a panel are engaged,
Next, the panel is raised and brought into contact with the main body, and then fixed by fixing means.

To remove the panel from the rack body,
After releasing the fixing means of the panel and lifting the panel from the main body, the engagement between the engaging portion of the bottom plate and the engaging portion of the panel is released.

[0007]

1 to 3 show an embodiment of a rack according to the present invention.
Shown in Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to these drawings.

The rack 1 has a square bottom plate 2, pillars 3, 3, 3, 3 suspended near four corners of the bottom plate 2, and a square mounted on the upper surfaces of these pillars 3, 3, 3, 3. A main body 5 including a top plate 4 having a shape, and a top plate 4 and a bottom plate 2 of the main body 5.
Panel 6 attached to the space surrounded by
And The bottom plate 2 is provided with hooks 7 and 7 as engaging portions, and the panel 6 is provided with hook holes 8 and 8 as engaging portions and latch locks 9 and 9 as fixing means, respectively.

To attach the panel 6 to the main body 5 of the rack 1, hook holes 8, 8 which are engaging portions of the panel 6 are engaged with hooks 7, 7 which are engaging portions of the bottom plate 2 from obliquely upward. Then, after the panel 6 is raised and brought into contact with the main body 5, the latch locks 9, 9 as fixing means are fastened.

In order to remove the panel 6 from the main body 5 of the rack 1, the latch locks 9, 9 which are the fixing means of the panel 6 are released, the panel 6 is tilted forward, and then the panel 6 is pulled up diagonally upward. The engagement between the hooks 7, 7 as the engaging portions and the hook holes 8, 8 as the engaging portions between the panel 6 is released.

In this embodiment, the bottom plate 2 and the top plate 4 are integrally formed in a square shape. However, the present invention is not limited to this.
Changes can be made as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

The hook 7 is used for the engaging portion of the bottom plate 2 and the hook 8 is used for the engaging portion of the panel 6 at two places.
The present invention is not limited to these, and the means and quantity can be appropriately changed without departing from the spirit of the present invention, as long as they are engaged with each other.

Although the latch locks 9, 9 are used as fixing means for the panel 6, the present invention is not limited to this, and can be changed as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0014]

As described above, the rack according to the present invention comprises at least a square bottom plate, a column suspended near four corners of the bottom plate, and a square top plate attached to the upper surface of the column. In a rack including a main body, and a panel attached to a space surrounded by the top plate, the bottom plate, and the support of the main body, an engaging portion is provided on the bottom plate, and the panel has an engaging portion and fixing means. The panel is used with a tool or the like by attaching the panel to the main body by the fixing means of the panel in an engaged state, wherein the engagement portion of the bottom plate and the engagement portion of the panel can be engaged with each other. Since it can be attached to the main body very easily and securely without using it, and it is possible to work with both hands, it is very safe.
