Abstract
A rack-stop structure of a frame and a door includes a bracket, a bar, and a pull spring. A positioning slideway and an escaping slideway are defined in the bracket. A plurality of positioning portions and a plurality of escaping tabs are located on the positioning slideway. Each of the plurality of positioning portions is spaced by each of the plurality of escaping tabs. An engaging cutout is defined in each of the plurality of positioning portions. One end of the bar is slidable in the bracket. A pin is located at the end of the bar. The pull spring is mounted to the bar for pulling the bar away from the bracket.
Claims19
A rack-stop structure for a frame and a door, comprising:
- a bracket mounted to the door and defining a positioning slideway and an escaping slideway;
- a bar mounted to the frame and having one end slidable in the positioning slideway and the escaping slideway of the bracket;
- a pin located at the end of the bar;
- and
- a pull spring mounted to the bar for pulling the bar away from the bracket,
- wherein the bracket comprises a plurality of positioning portions and a plurality of escaping tabs located on the positioning slideway;
- each of the plurality of positioning portions is spaced by each of the plurality of escaping tabs;
- an engaging cutout is defined in each of the plurality of positioning portions, the pin is movable from an engaged state to an escaped state;
- when the pin is in the engaged state, the bar is unfolded relative to the bracket at a fixed angle, and the pin is engaged with one of the engaging cutouts along a first direction;
- when the pin is in the escaped state, the pin is movable to the escaping slideway from the positioning slideway through one of the plurality of the escaping tabs along the first direction, and the bar is movable to be folded relative to the bracket,
- wherein the bracket further comprises a plurality of flaps, each of the plurality of flaps is configured to prevent the pin from moving from the escaping slideway back to the positioning slideway.
