Benefits of technology

"The present invention is a shelf made up of multiple parts that form partitions. Each part has grooves, and connection members connect the parts. The parts can pivot about a central axis. A rack member is located between two parts and is made up of X-axis and Y-axis members. Each Y-axis member has forks that engage with the grooves on the X-axis parts. The technical effect of this invention is a shelf that can be easily assembled and disassembled, making it convenient for users."

Problems solved by technology

Drawers mounted in the shelf are not foldable either so that the shelf and the drawers occupy a lot of space, which is not convenient for the customers to transport or carry.
Even if some of the shelves are designed to be assembled by the customers, they are composed of some major parts that are bulky and cannot be further reduced.

Abstract

A shelf includes a main part including a plurality of X-axis parts, Y-axis parts and Z-axis parts so as to form a plurality of partitions, and a plurality of rack members located between two X-axis parts. Each X-axis part has a plurality of grooves. A plurality of connection members is used to connect the X-axis parts and the Z-axis parts, and the X-axis parts and the Y-axis parts are pivotable about the Z-axis parts by the connection members. Each rack member includes X-axis members and Y-axis members. Each Y-axis member has two ends and each end has a fork portion engaging one of the grooves of the X-axis parts. A plurality of drawers is removably received in the partitions.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to a foldable shelf and drawers which are easily assembled and foldable for convenience of storage and transportation. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Most of the shelves are fixed in sized and are assembled in front of the customers. Drawers mounted in the shelf are not foldable either so that the shelf and the drawers occupy a lot of space, which is not convenient for the customers to transport or carry. Even if some of the shelves are designed to be assembled by the customers, they are composed of some major parts that are bulky and cannot be further reduced. [0003] Therefore, it is desired to have a foldable shelf that can be folded and thus occupying the minimum space such that the customers may convenient to carry or transport it. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0004] In accordance with an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a shelf comprising a main part composed of plurality of X-axis parts, Y-axis parts...
