Stop wall structure for removably mounting to a metal-wire shelf

Abstract

A stop wall structure includes a front stop wall and two side stop walls for removably mounting to a front edge and two lateral edges of a metal-wire shelf for a sectional rack. The front stop wall is formed along a lower edge with a tongue portion and a plurality of clamping member spaced behind the tongue portion, so that a retaining space is formed between the tongue portion and the clamping members for engaging with a transverse front metal-bar set of the metal-wire shelf therein. The side stop walls each are provided along a lower edge with a plurality of C-shaped clamping members for each receiving and holding a transverse metal bar of the metal-wire shelf therein. With the stop wall structure mounted to the metal-wire shelf, articles positioned on the metal-wire shelf are protected against falling therefrom.

1 . A stop wall structure for removably mounting to a metal-wire shelf, the metal-wire shelf being formed by welding a plurality of longitudinally extended metal wires to a plurality of transversely extended intermediate metal bars, a front metal-bar set including an upper front and a lower front metal bar, and a rear metal-bar set including an upper rear and a lower rear metal bar, so that the metal wires and the metal bars intersect at a right angle; the stop wall structure comprising a front stop wall for mounting to a front edge of the metal-wire shelf and side stop walls for mounting to lateral edges of the metal-wire shelf;
 the front stop wall being a substantially straight plate having a tongue portion integrally formed along a lower edge of the front stop wall and at least two spaced clamping members inward and downward extended from a rear side of the tongue portion, such that a retaining space is formed between the tongue portion and the clamping members; each of the clamping members being provided at a left side with a leftward open slot; the retaining space being sized for holding the transverse front metal-bar set therein, and the leftward open slots on the clamping members allowing corresponding longitudinal metal wires to move thereinto and be held therein; and   each of the side stop walls being a substantially straight plate having a first C-shaped clamping member and at least one second C-shaped clamping member spaced along a lower edge of the side stop wall for receiving and holding the upper front metal bar of the front metal-bar set and at least one corresponding intermediate metal bars therein, respectively.   
     
     
         2 . The stop wall structure for removably mounting to a metal-wire shelf as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the tongue portion of the front stop wall has a lower edge formed into a rearward curved holding section having a certain degree of elasticity, allowing the holding section to press an inner face thereof against both a front and a bottom side of the lower front metal bar of the front metal-bar set. 
     
     
         3 . The stop wall structure for removably mounting to a metal-wire shelf as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the clamping members of the front stop wall is configured to press an inner face thereof against both a top and a rear side of the upper front metal bar of the front metal-bar set. 
     
     
         4 . The stop wall structure for removably mounting to a metal-wire shelf as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein each of the first and second C-shaped clamping members on the side stop wall is provided at a lower portion with a downward open slot, which is sized to engage with one corresponding longitudinal metal wire of the metal-wire shelf. 
     
     
         5 . The stop wall structure for removably mounting to a metal-wire shelf as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the front stop wall is provided on a rear side near two lateral upper ends thereof with a dot each, and the side stop walls each are provided on a front end face near an upper end thereof with a recess corresponding to the dots on the front stop wall, such that the dots on the front stop wall are engaged with the recesses on the side stop walls when the front and the side stop walls have been mounted to the metal-wire shelf.
