Connector for shelf assembly
A connector for shelf assembly may comprise at least a connector having a semi-cylindrical concave formed at a lateral edge thereof, and a first hook portion and a second hook portion respectively protrude from two lateral ends of the inner edge of the concave. When the connector is applied to a shelf, the first hook portion and the second hook portion thereof are configured to respectively hook on two adjacent edges of a shelf board of the shelf which are perpendicular to each other. Each of the connectors can be directly coupled with a collar of the shelf board such that an external board can be assembled between the two shelves without dissembling process. Also, the external board can be assembled parallel with the shelf boards on the two shelves, which improves the practicability and stability of the assembled shelves with the external board when in use.
1. A connector for shelf assembly comprising:
at least a connecting unit having a C-shaped eccentric concave formed at a lateral edge thereof, and an inner edge of the concave comprising a protruding portion; a first hook portion and a second hook portion respectively protruding and extending downwardly from two lateral ends of the inner edge of the concave, an inner surface of the concave formed into an attaching surface, and an arc-shaped first connecting member formed on an outer surface of the connecting unit; an engaging portion integrally formed at an outer surface of the first connecting member, and a hollow cushion member formed between the attaching surface and the first connecting member.
2. The connector for shelf assembly of claim 1 , wherein an included angle between an axial central line of the concave to the first hook portion and the second hook portion is 90 degree such that when the connecting unit is applied to the shelf, the first hook portion and the second hook portion thereof are configured to respectively hook on two adjacent edges of a shelf board of the shelf which are perpendicular to each other.
