Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a storage box and more particularly, to a folding collapsible storage box.
  • collapsible storage boxes are developed.
  • a known collapsible storage box comprises a rectangular box body made of soft fabric, horizontal and vertical rod members respectively fastened to the four sides of each of the vertical lateral panels and bottom panel of the box body, and a hard bottom plate attached to the bottom panel inside the box body for supporting storage items.
  • This design of collapsible storage box is functional. However, it is not attractive to consumers.
  • GB 434,215 discloses a display box according to the preamble of appended claim 1, and comprising an upper tray and a lower tray hinged together about a vertical axis, for example, the one tray hinged on a wall extending from the other tray, so that the trays may be disposed the one under the other or opened out, as well as locking means to hold the trays in their respective positions.
  • the trays consist of rigid material and cannot be folded.
  • the storage box comprises a lower box body, the lower box body defining a top open chamber for storage items, an upper box body, the upper box body defining a top open chamber for storage items, and having an angled extension wall vertically downwardly extended from the outer lateral side and the back side, means connecting between the upper box body and the lower box body so that the upper box body can be turned horizontally relative to the lower box body between a received position where the upper box body and the lower box body are vertically arranged in a stack and the top open chamber of the lower box body is closed by the upper box body, and an extended position where the upper box body and the lower box body are set in an offset relationship and the upper box body defines with the lower box body and said angled extension wall a bottom open chamber below the top open chamber of the upper box body for storage items, characterised in that the upper body and the lower body are made of soft fabric such as canvass, each having a plurality of vertically extended folding lines, and that at least one hard connecting plate
  • each hard connecting plate comprises two male fastening elements
  • the upper box body and the lower box body each comprise at least one female fastening element adapted to receive the male fastening elements of the at least one connecting plate.
  • the upper box body and the lower box body can be made having a rectangular or cylindrical configuration.
  • FIG. 1 a storage box is shown constructed according to one embodiment of the present invention and covered with a top cover 42.
  • FIG. 2 is an exploded view of the storage box shown in FIG. 1, showing the upper box body 10 horizontally turned outwards from the lower box body 20.
  • the upper box body 10 and the lower box body 20 are made of soft fabric (for example, canvass) with the respective four horizontal top sides and four horizontal bottom sides and four vertical angles respectively supported with a respective rigid rod member to maintain the shape.
  • a hard bottom plate 40 is attached to the top surface of the bottom panel of the box body 10 or 20 for supporting storage items.
  • the upper box body 10 defines a top open chamber 12 for storing things.
  • the upper box body 10 further has an angled extension wall vertically downwardly extended from the outer lateral side and the back side, thereby defining a bottom open chamber 14 after the upper box body 10 has been extended out of the lower box body 20.
  • the upper box body 10 further has vertically extended folding lines 16, and is provided with a fastening device 18.
  • a support 28 is hinged to the outer surface of the inner lateral side of the lower box body 20, and can be turned relative to the lower
  • the lower box body 20 is symmetrical to the upper box body 10 , having an angled extension wall vertically upwardly extended from the outer lateral side and the back side, thereby defining a top open chamber 22 for keeping things.
  • the lower box body 20 further comprises folding lines 24 in the front, and is provided with a fastening device 36 corresponding to the fastening device 18 of the upper box body 10.
  • a flexible hinge 38 is connected between one vertical angle of the upper box body 10 and one vertical angle of the lower box body 20 so that the upper box body 10 and the lower box body 20 can be horizontally turned relative to each other between the received position where the upper box body 10 and the lower box body 20 are arranged in a stack (see FIG.
  • the support 28 is turned outwards from the lower box body 20 to stop the top side against the bottom side of the upper box body 10, giving a support to the upper box body 10 (see FIG. 2).
  • the top open chamber 12 and bottom open chamber 14 of the upper box body 10 as well as the top open chamber 22 of the lower box body 20 are opened for storing things.
  • the support 28 is turned inwards and closely attached to the lower box body 20, and then the upper box body 10 and the lower box body 20 are folded up along the respective folding lines 16, 24 and received in a flat condition as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.
  • extension wall of the upper box body 10 and the extension wall of the lower box body 20 are so arranged that the four vertical lateral sides of the storage box are maintained in a flush manner after the upper box body 10 and the lower box body 20 have been set in the received position.
  • the upper box body 10 and the lower box body 20 may be respectively provided with a handle 34 for carrying.
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 show two different alternate forms of the storage box.
  • a number of vertically linked upper box bodies 10 and a number of vertically linked lower box bodies 20 are hinged together and can be turned between the received position and the extended position like the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 ⁇ 4.
  • connecting plates 30 may be used to connect the respective upper box bodies 10 to the respective lower box bodies 20 in the extended position.
  • Each connecting plate 30 has male (female) fastening elements 32 at the ends for fastening to respective female (male) fastening elements (not shown) at the upper box bodies 10 and the lower box bodies 20.
  • FIGS. 7 and 8 show still another alternate form of the storage box according to the present invention.
  • the upper box body 10 and the lower box body 20 have a cylindrical configuration.
  • the upper box body 10 has a part of the bottom side connected to a part of the top side of the lower box body 20 in such a manner that the upper box body 10 can be turned horizontally relative to the lower box body 20 between the received position as shown in FIG. 7 and the extended position as shown in FIG. 8.
  • FIG. 9 shows still another alternate form of the storage box according to the present invention.
  • the upper box body 10 and the lower box body 20 are respectively made of bamboo strips, and fastened together with a metal hinge 26 .
