Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- This invention relates to a modular container, more particularly to a modular container having a plurality of wall plates.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- A container, such as a garbage container, a book or newspaper container, etc., has a tubular body that is sometimes made into a one-piece body, and at other times that is made by rolling a stainless steel plate to form a circular body, after which the ends thereof are joined together. Because the technique of making the one-piece container is rather difficult, the defective rate of the container during production is high. As to the method of rolling the metal plate and connecting the ends thereof, the appearance of the product is affected because the connection of the ends is exposed.
- The applicant has developed a modular container that is capable of resolving the aforementioned drawbacks, its disclosed by the applicant in Taiwanese Publication No. 500112, referring to
FIGS. 1 and 2 , the modular container 1 includes abase seat 11, atabular body 2, and atop frame 12. Thetubular body 2 includes twowall plates 21 each having a substantially U-shaped cross section, and twofixing plates 22 interconnecting thewall places 21. Each of thewall plates 21 has two spaced-apartparallel plate sections 211, and anintermediate plate section 212 connected between theplate cent lone 211. Eachplate section 211 has a vertically extending curledengaging edge 213. Each of thefixing plates 22 is made of plastic, and has two vertically extendinggrooves 221 formed respectively in two opposite sides thereof. - During assembly of the modular container 1, each
fixing plate 22 interconnects twoadjacent plate sections 211 of thewall plates 21 by sliding thecorresponding fixing plate 22 along the curledengaging edges 213 of the twoadjacent plate sections 211 through engagement between the curledengaging edges 213 and thegrooves 221. Afterwards, thebase seat 11 and thetop frame 12 are fitted respectively to top and bottom ends of the assembledwall plates 21 andfixing plates 22. - Although the aforementioned modular container 1 can resolve the drawbacks associated in making the tubular body of the container, that is, the non-modular container described above, the curled
engaging edges 213 of theplate sections 211 of thewall plates 21 are not only troublesome to process, but also must be formed with precision. If the curledengaging edges 213 are not formed with precision, the engagement between the curledengaging edges 213 and therespective grooves 221 may be either too tight, making it difficult to slide the curledengaging edges 213 downwardly along thegrooves 221, or too loose, in which case connections between thewall plates 21 and thefixing plates 22 ere not strong. Since the modular container 1 requires high precision in the processing of its components, manufacture and assembly of the same are very inconvenient. - Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a modular container that can be easily and conveniently processed and assembled.
- According to this invention, a modular container comprises a tubular body and a base seat. The tubular body includes a plurality of wall plates, and a plurality of pillars each interconnecting two adjacent ones of the wall plates. Each of the pillars has two wing plates projecting outwardly therefrom. Each of the wing plates has at least two vertically spaced-apart slots. Each of the wall plates has a plurality of spaced-apart side tabs engaged respectively to the slots in a corresponding one of the wing plates. The base seat is connected to and covers a bottom end of the tubular body.
