    • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • Referring to the drawings and initially to FIGS. 4-6, a positioning rack in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a main frame 10, and a plurality of blade plates 20.
  • The main frame 10 includes a circular base 12 and a plurality of support arms 14 mounted on the base 12 and extended radially outward.
  • Each of the blade plates 20 is made of a heat resistant insulating material, such as a mica or the like, and is detachably mounted on a respective one of the support arms 14 of the main frame 10. Each of the blade plates 20 has two sides each formed with a plurality of hook-shaped separation portions 24 and a plurality of positioning recesses 22 located between the separation portions 24 for positioning a plurality of electrothermal straps (not shown) for an electric appliance, such as a cooling fan or the like.
  • Each of the blade plates 20 is formed with at least one guide slot 26 having an end formed with a locking groove 28 communicating with the guide slot 26. The guide slot 26 of each of the blade plates 20 has a width smaller than that of the locking groove 28. The guide slot 26 is extended in a longitudinal direction of each of the blade plates 20. In addition, the locking groove 28 is extended in a longitudinal direction of each of the blade plates 20.
  • Each of the support arms 14 of the main frame 10 has a side formed with at least one protruding locking member 16 detachably mounted on a respective one of the blade plates 20. The locking member 16 of each of the support arms 14 of the main frame 10 includes a locking post 162 extended through the guide slot 26 and detachably inserted into the locking groove 28 of a respective one of the blade plates 20, and a catch block 164 formed on a distal end of the locking post 162 and rested on a surface of a respective one of the blade plates 20. The catch block 164 of the locking member 16 is extended through the guide slot 26 of a respective one of the blade plates 20. The catch block 164 of the locking member 16 has a width greater than that of the locking post 162 and slightly smaller than that of the respective guide slot 26. In addition, the catch block 164 of the locking member 16 is vertical to a longitudinal direction of each of the support arms 14 of the main frame 10.
  • In assembly, each of the blade plates 20 is mounted on a respective one of the support arms 14 of the main frame 10, with the catch block 164 of the locking member 16 being extended through the guide slot 26 of a respective one of the blade plates 20. Then, each of the blade plates 20 is moved relative to the respective support arm 14 of the main frame 10, so that the locking post 162 of the locking member 16 is inserted into and locked in the locking groove 28 of the respective blade plate 20, so that each of the blade plates 20 is combined with and fixed on the respective support arm 14 of the main frame 10. Then, the electrothermal straps are wound around each of the blade plates 20 and positioned in the positioning recesses 22.
  • Alternatively, in replacement of the blade plates 20, each of the blade plates 20 is moved outward relative to the respective support arm 14 of the main frame 10, so that the locking post 162 of the locking member 16 is detached from the locking groove 28 of the respective blade plate 20 and is moved into the guide slot 26. Then, the catch block 164 of the locking member 16 is detached from the guide slot 26 of a respective one of the blade plates 20, so that each of the blade plates 20 is detached and removed from the respective support arm 14 of the main frame 10.
  • Accordingly, each of the blade plates 20 is mounted on the respective support arm 14 of the main frame 10 easily and conveniently without needing aid of a tool, thereby facilitating the user mounting the blade plates 20, and thereby preventing the blade plates 20 from being worn or broken due to hit of the tool. In addition, each of the blade plates 20 is detached and removed from the respective support arm 14 of the main frame 10 easily and conveniently without needing aid of the tool, thereby facilitating the user replacing the blade plates 20.
