  • the folding collapsible storage box further comprises a plurality of partition boards mounted inside the folding collapsible box body to divide the holding space of the folding collapsible box body into multiple storage compartments.
  • the partition boards may be arranged in horizontal at different elevations to divide the holding space of the folding collapsible box body into multiple vertically spaced storage compartments, or arranged in vertical to divide the holding space of the folding collapsible box body into multiple horizontally spaced storage compartments.
  • vertical partition board and horizontal partition boards can be used and intersected inside the folding collapsible box body to divide the holding space of the folding collapsible box body into multiple storage compartments.
  • additional foldable auxiliary partition boards may be used to divide each storage space in the folding collapsible box body into multiple sub storage compartments.
  • the supporting board is foldable, and the partition boards include relatively shorter vertical partition boards and relatively longer horizontal partition boards.
  • FIG. 1 is an exploded view of a folding collapsible storage box in accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective assembly view of the folding collapsible storage box according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 3 is an exploded view of a folding collapsible storage box in accordance with a second embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 4 is another exploded view of the second embodiment of the present invention, showing the auxiliary partition member folded into shape.
  • FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a folding collapsible storage box in accordance with a third embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 5A is a perspective view of a folding collapsible storage box in accordance with a fourth embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a folding collapsible storage box in accordance with a fifth embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 6A is a perspective view of a folding collapsible storage box in accordance with a sixth embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 7 is an exploded view of a folding collapsible storage box in accordance with a seventh embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 8 is a perspective view of the seventh embodiment of the present invention, showing the supporting board folded up and stacked on the horizontal partition board inside the folding collapsible box body.
  • FIG. 9 illustrates the collapsed status of the folding collapsible box body according to the present invention.
  • a folding collapsible storage box in accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention comprising a folding collapsible box body 1.
  • the folding collapsible box body 1 has a top panel 11, a bottom panel 12, a left panel 13, and a right panel 14.
  • the top, bottom, left and right panels 11-14 are respectively formed of a hard board wrapped with a soft covering.
  • the soft coverings of the top, bottom, left and right panels 11 ⁇ 14 are stitched to one another so that each two adjacent panels are foldable relative to each other, i.e., the top, bottom, left and right panels 11 ⁇ 14 are hinged to one another.
  • a flexible rectangular cover flap 151 has two adjacent side edges respectively stitched to the soft coverings of two adjacent ones of the top, bottom, left and right panels 11 ⁇ 14, and the other two adjacent side edges respectively detachably fastened to the soft coverings of the other two adjacent ones of the top, bottom, left and right panels 11 ⁇ 14 with fastening means 152.
  • the fastening means 152 can be a zip fastener or hook and loop materials.
  • the top, bottom, left and right panels 11 ⁇ 14 are respectively formed of a hard board wrapped with a soft covering, and the soft coverings of the top, bottom, left and right panels 11 ⁇ 14 are stitched to one another so that each two adjacent panels are foldable relative to each other.
  • a supporting board 2 is used in order to support the folding collapsible box body 1 in shape (in the extended status).
  • the transverse width and vertical height of the supporting board 2 are approximately equal to the rear open side 15 of the folding collapsible box body 1.
  • the supporting board 2 When the fastening means 152 (zip fastener or hook and loop materials) is unfastened, the supporting board 2 is inserted into the rear open side 15 and stopped against the inner surfaces of the top, bottom, left and right panels 11 ⁇ 14 , thereby supporting the folding collapsible box body 1 in the extended status.
  • the fastening means 152 zip fastener or hook and loop materials
  • the fastening means 152 is unfastened, and then the supporting board 2 is taken out of the folding collapsible box body 1, and then the folding collapsible box body 1 is collapsed into a flat manner as shown in FIG. 9 .
  • a partition member 3 may be inserted through the front open side 16 into the inside of the folding collapsible box body 1 to divide the inside space of the folding collapsible box body 1 into multiple compartments for keeping things.
  • the partition member 3 may be directly stitched to the soft covering of each of at least one of the top, bottom, left and right panels 11-14.
  • hook and loop materials may be used to secure the partition member 3 to the soft covering of each of at least one of the top, bottom, left and right panels 11-14.
  • the partition member 3 is comprised of a vertical partition board 3A and a horizontal partition board 3B intersected with the vertical partition board 3A, i.e., the partition member 3 shows a crossed cross section.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 show a folding collapsible storage box in accordance with a second embodiment of the present invention.
  • the folding collapsible storage box has a vertical partition board 3A fixedly fastened to the inside of the folding collapsible box body thereof to divide the inside space of the folding collapsible box body into two holding spaces, and a plurality of auxiliary partition members 4 respectively inserted into the storage compartments to separate each holding space into multiple storage compartments.
  • Each auxiliary partition member 4 is a formed of a flat board having two parallel folding lines 41 extending to two opposite sides. Through the folding lines 41, each auxiliary partition member 4 is folded into the shape of a channel bar before insertion into the folding collapsible box body.
  • FIG. 5 shows a folding collapsible storage box in accordance with a third embodiment of the present invention.
  • two vertical partition boards 3A are used and vertically arranged in parallel inside the folding collapsible box body.
  • FIG. 5A is a perspective view of a folding collapsible storage box in accordance with a fourth embodiment of the present invention. According to this embodiment, multiple vertical partition boards 3A and multiple horizontal partition boards 3B are used and mounted inside the folding collapsible box body.
  • FIG 6 is a perspective view of a folding collapsible storage box in accordance with a fifth embodiment of the present invention.
  • multiple horizontal partition boards 3B are used and mounted inside the folding collapsible box body to divide the holding space of the folding collapsible box body into vertically spaced storage compartments.
  • FIG. 6A is a perspective view of a folding collapsible storage box in accordance with a sixth embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is substantially similar to the embodiment shown in FIG. 6 with the exception of the use of additional vertical partition boards 3A that divide the vertically spaced storage compartments into more number of relatively smaller storage compartments.
  • FIGS. 7 and 8 show a folding collapsible storage box in accordance with a seventh embodiment of the present invention.
  • the supporting board 2 has a transverse folding line 21 on the middle, and the vertical partition board 3A is relatively shorter than the horizontal partition board 3B.
