Benefits of technology

[0010] It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide new configurations and method to conveniently and flexibly ship and assemble apparatuses employed to provide daily utility functions to contain, hold or support varieties of items at lower costs with long term reliable operations such that the aforementioned limitations and difficulties encountered in the prior art can therefore be overcome.
[0011] Specifically, it is an object of the present invention to provide a new and improved configuration and method to assemble an apparatus to perform the daily functions of containing, holding, or supporting varieties of item by employing corner connectors. The corner connectors are applied to securely holding framing bars implemented as structure frames to support and construct a containing / holding / supporting apparatus. The framing-bars can be conveniently assembled and disassembled from the corner connectors such that the disassembled framing bars and the corner connectors can be easily and flexibly shipped and assembled. The corner connector and the framing bars can be manufactured with different materials and shapes and sizes depending on different kinds of application to assure reliable and long-term operation of the assembled apparatus.

Problems solved by technology

The art of manufacturing and assembling apparatuses to provide containing / supporting / holding functions in daily environment is still faced with the difficulties that such apparatuses are bulky, difficult to assemble and disassemble, and often does not provide secure and reliable structural integrity.
The structure as that shown by Reuter et al. as that shown in FIG. 1A, however, are generally to complicate and bulky for implementation in holding, supporting and containing apparatuses typically used in daily life.
However, as that shown in FIG. 1B, such corner connectors and bars are engaged and attached to each other with screws and locking mechanism that are inconvenient and time consuming for assembling and disassembling apparatuses in daily use.
However, as that shown in FIG. 1C, the corner connector has quite complicate structural configuration and would be costly to manufacture due to the geometrical arrangements for the purpose of fitting the framing bars.

Embodiment Construction

[0023]FIG. 2 is a top perspective view of a corner connector 100 of this invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the corner connector 100 includes four interconnected adapting and holding trenches 110-1, to 110-4 configured with fixed orientation relative to each other, e.g., perpendicular to each other on a same horizontal plane. The wall surface of the trenches 110-1 to 110-4 further includes ridges of different shapes, e.g., hemisphere ridge 120-1 and platform ridge 120-2.

[0024] Referring to FIG. 3 for corner connector 100 to adapt and hold multiple framing bars 130-1 to 130-6 inserted into the trenches 110-1 to 110-4 and held securely therein. These framing bars 130-1 to 130-6 when inserted into the trenches 110-1 to 110-4 are prevented form angular movement by the platform ridge 120-2 and from accidentally slipping out as the hemisphere ridges 120-1 are pressed onto these framing bars.

[0025] Referring to FIG. 4 for another corner connector 150 for adapting and securely holding four fr...

Abstract

The present invention discloses container that is structured with framing bars linked with mesh between the framing bars. The container further includes framing bar connectors and each of the framing bar connectors connecting and holding each of the framing bars at a fixed orientation relative to another interconnected framing bar connected through each of the framing bar connectors. In a specific containing apparatus, each of the framing bar connectors includes a first U-shaped trench for adapting and holding a first framing bar and at least a second U-shaped trench for adapting and holding a second framing bar at a fixed orientation relative to the first framing bar.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] This invention relates generally to apparatus and configuration to manufacture and assemble containing / supporting / holding apparatuses. More particularly, this invention relates to a new and improved methods and configurations to manufacture and assemble apparatuses to provide the containing / supporting / holding functions by implementing a connecting and fixing blocks with adapting trenches for holding and securely locking framing bars at fixed orientations. [0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art [0004] The art of manufacturing and assembling apparatuses to provide containing / supporting / holding functions in daily environment is still faced with the difficulties that such apparatuses are bulky, difficult to assemble and disassemble, and often does not provide secure and reliable structural integrity. [0005] Assemblies implemented with corner connectors and beams are disclosed in variety of structures. For example, Route...
