BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to a combined display case, especially a display case which is composed of a plurality of kinds of joints, frames and glass and can be extended freely so as to deposit and display articles or goods.

This conventional display case is made with permanent joints, such kind of display case can't be extended freely. Furthermore, it occupies too much space and causes an inconvenience in transportation.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

It is therefore the main object of this invention to provide a combined display case which is composed of a plurality of kinds of joints, frames and glass and can be extended freely. Furthermore, the combined display case can be assembled according to the actual space and can be disassembled when carrying.

It is another object of this invention to provide a combined display case which can be opened by means of installing hinges on the glass. Furthermore, on the bottom of the glass is a door holder which can be loosened to slide down into a receiving groove of a frame so as to latch the glass door.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 2, the combined display case is composed of a plurality of kinds of joints and frames. The joint C (13) has a connecting post (131) formed respectively at its X axis, -X axis, Y axis, -Y axis and -Z axis. Frame I (22) has a through hole (222), the through hole (222) on X, -X, Y, -Y axis of the joint C (13). The frame J (23) has a through hole (232) which can be fitted with the post (131) on -Z axis of the joint C (13). Furthermore, the joint C (13) has five grooves (132) which can be respectively fitted with receiving grooves (221) (231) of the frame I (22) and the frame J (23) so as to install the glass (3) firmly. The joint B (12) has a connecting post (121) formed respectively at its X axis, Y axis, -Y axis, -Z axis, and has three grooves (122). The frame H (21) has receiving grooves (211) and a through hole )21 2), the connecting posts (121) on Y axis and -Y axis of the joint B (12) being inserted into the through hole (212) of the frame H (21). The connecting post (121) on the X axis and -Z axis of the joint B (12) being inserted into the through hole (222) of the frame I (22). Four grooves (122) of the joint B (12) can be fitted with the receiving grooves (211 ) (221) of the frame H (21) and the frame I (22) so as to install the glass.

The joint A (11) has respectively a connecting post (111) formed at its X axis, Y axis, and -Z axis which can be inserted into the through hole (212) of the frame H (21). Furthermore, the joint A (11) has three grooves (112) which can be fitted with the receiving grooves (211) of the frame H (21).

The joint D (14) has a connecting post (141) formed respectively at its X axis, -X axis, Y axis, -Y axis, Z axis and -Z axis which can be inserted respectively into the through hole (232) of each frame J (23). Furthermore, the joint D (14) has eight grooves (142) which can be fitted with the receiving grooves (231) of each frame J (23) so as to install the glass.

The base of the combined display case is composed of the joint E (15), joint F (16), joint G (17), the frame K (24) and the frame L (25), wherein the joint E (15) has an elliptic post (153) formed respectively at its -X axis, Y axis, -Y axis and has a connecting post (151 ) formed at its Z axis, the joint E (15) also having three grooves (152). The frame L (25) has an elliptic hole (252) and two receiving grooves (251 ). The frame K (24) has an elliptic hole (242) and three receiving grooves (241).

The connecting post (151) of the joint E (15) can be inserted into the through hole (222) of frame I (22), the elliptic posts (153) of the Y axis and -Y axis of the joint E (15) can be inserted respectively into the elliptic hole (252) of the frame L (25). The elliptic post (153) on the X axis of the joint E (15) is inserted into the elliptic hole (242) of the frame K (24). Furthermore, the grooves (152) on joint E (15) can be fitted respectively with the receiving grooves (251) (241) of the frame L (25) and the frame K (24) so as to install the glass (3).

The joint F (16) has an elliptic post (163) formed respectively at its X axis, -X axis, Y axis and -Y axis and a connecting post (161) formed at its Z axis, the joint F (16) also having four grooves (162). The elliptic posts (163) of the joint F (16) are inserted respectively into the elliptic hole (242) of frame K (24), the connecting post (161) on Z axis of the joint F (16) is inserted into the through hole (232) of frame J (23).

The joint G (17) has an elliptic post (173) formed respectively at its X axis, -Y axis and a connecting post (172) formed at its Z axis, said joint G (17) also having there grooves (172). The elliptic posts (173) of the joint G (17) are inserted into the elliptic hole (252) of the frame L (25) and the connecting post (171) is inserted into the through hole (212) of the frame H (21).

The frame K (24) and the frame L (25) both have T-shape bottoms which can prevent the combined display case from damping.

Referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the glass (3) installed between the frame H (21) and the frame L (25) is assembled with a hinge (31) (31') respectively at its side. The bottom of the glass (3) has a door holder (32). When loosening the screw of the door holder (32), the door holder (32) can be slid down into the receiving groove (251) of frame L (25) so as to latch the glass (3), the door holder (32) being retained on the glass (3) by tightening the screw the glass (3) can be opened by means of a the hinges (31) (31'). FIG. 6, FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 show other embodiments of this invention. Furthermore, FIG. 9 shows other kinds of joints and frames. FIG. 10 illustrates the combined display case formed by the joints and frames in FIG. 9.
