Description

multipurpose container group

The present invention relates to a container, in particular to a multifunctional container set.

Stationery boxes, pen holders, potted plants and other containers are often placed on the desk. The pencil case is used to store stationery such as paper clips, erasers and long tail clips. Containers can store supplies and keep the desktop tidy. Potted plants can also adjust the body and mind and take care of the eyes.

However, the above-mentioned containers are all products with a single function, lack of combination changes, and are relatively tedious. A product that can integrate the above-mentioned functions and has combination variability is needed in the market.

Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a multifunctional container set with variable combination.

Therefore, the multifunctional container set of the present invention includes at least one first container and at least one second container. The at least one first container includes a container body and two protrusions. The container body has a first surface, a second surface opposite to the first surface, and a surrounding surface connecting the first surface and the second surface, the first surface has two spaced concave holes, One of the first surface and the second surface forms an accommodating groove. The protrusions are arranged on the second surface of the container body at intervals. The at least one second container is detachably arranged on the first container, and a receiving space is defined around the second container.

The effect of the present invention is: combine the at least one first container with the at least one second container with different functions, and through the accommodating tank, objects, fish farming, incense or planting can be accommodated, so as long as several The first container and several second containers can be combined at will to form a container group with multiple functions such as storage, fish farming, aromatherapy or planting. The present invention has combination variability.

Before the present invention is described in detail, it should be noted that the relative position terms used in the following descriptions, such as "left and right direction X", "front and rear direction Y", "up and down direction Z", are based on the orientation shown in Figure 1 and The normal use orientation is referenced and like elements are designated by the same reference numerals.

Referring to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, a first embodiment of the multifunctional container set of the present invention is suitable for planting a plant (not shown), and the multifunctional container set includes a first container 101, a second container 102 and Two feet 3.

The first container 101 is straight and includes a container body 11 and two protrusions 12 . The container body 11 has a first surface 111 , a second surface 112 opposite to the first surface 111 in the vertical direction Z, and a surrounding surface 113 connecting the first surface 111 and the second surface 112 . The first surface 111 has two concave holes 13 spaced apart in the left-right direction X, and an accommodating groove 14 located between the concave holes 13 and used for planting the plant, the accommodating groove 14 and the The concave holes 13 are arranged at intervals. Specifically, the first surface 111 also has two inclined surfaces 15 inclined toward each other, and the groove center of the receiving groove 14 is located at the junction of the inclined surfaces 15 . The surrounding surface 113 has at least one concave portion 16 recessed from the second surface 112 toward the first surface 111 , as shown in FIG. 2 , the number of the concave portions 16 is two. The protrusions 12 are arranged at intervals on the second surface 112 of the container body 11 and extend downward from the second surface 112 , each of the protrusions 12 is cylindrical.

Referring to Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, the first container 101 of the first embodiment is integrally formed of plastic material, and several dripping holes 141 and two protrusions are formed on the bottom surface of the accommodating groove 14 during integral molding. Block 142, the drip holes 141 communicate with the outside world. The protrusions 142 are ridged upward from the second surface 112 to form two positioning holes 17 .
