    •  DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • Referring to the drawings and initially to FIGS. 1-4, a box assembly in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a plurality of storage boxes 1 each having an inside formed with a receiving space 10 for storing parts or components of a hardware, a plurality of connecting members 21 detachably mounted between the storage boxes 1 to combine the storage boxes 1 together in a vertical direction as shown in FIG. 3, and a plurality of fastening members 3 detachably mounted between the storage boxes 1 to combine the storage boxes 1 together in a horizontal direction as shown in FIG. 4.
  • Each of the storage boxes 1 has a top portion formed with a plurality of locking grooves 11 and a plurality of locking slots 14. Each of the storage boxes 1 has two opposite side walls each formed with a plurality of receiving channels 12 to receive the connecting members 21 respectively. Each of the receiving channels 12 of each of the storage boxes 1 is defined by two protruding upright support plates 16. Each of the support plates 16 of each of the storage boxes 1 has a lower end formed with a through hole 13.
  • Each of the connecting members 21 is pivotally mounted in a respective receiving channel 12 of each of the storage boxes 1. Thus, each of the connecting members 21 is movable relative to each of the storage boxes 1 between an expanded position as shown in FIG. 3 where each of the connecting members 21 protrudes outwardly from the respective receiving channel 12 of each of the storage boxes 1 and a folded position as shown in FIG. 1 where each of the connecting members 21 is fully hidden in the respective receiving channel 12 of each of the storage boxes 1. Each of the connecting members 21 has a first end pivotally mounted in the respective receiving channel 12 of each of the storage boxes 1 and a second end formed with a locking hook 23 that is movable to protrude outwardly from the respective receiving channel 12 of each of the storage boxes 1. Thus, the connecting members 21 are pivotable downward relative to each of the storage boxes 1, and the locking hook 23 of each of the connecting members 21 on each of the storage boxes 1 is inserted into and detachably locked in a respective locking groove 11 of a lower one of the storage boxes 1 to combine the storage boxes 1 together in the vertical direction. The first end of each of the connecting members 21 is formed with a pivot hole 22.
  • The box assembly further comprises a plurality of linking rods 20 each extended through the through hole 13 of each of the support plates 16 of each of the storage boxes 1 and the pivot hole 22 of each of the connecting members 21 so that each of the connecting members 21 is pivotally mounted on each of the storage boxes 1. Each of the linking rods 20 is rotatably mounted on each of the storage boxes 1 and has a distal end provided with an enlarged grip portion 24 to facilitate a user rotating each of the linking rods 20. Thus, each of the linking rods 20 is rotatable relative to each of the storage boxes 1 to drive the connecting members 21 to pivot relative to each of the storage boxes 1 simultaneously.
  • Each of the fastening members 3 has a substantially inverted U-shaped cross-sectional profile and has two downward extending snapping portions 30 each inserted into and detachably locked in a respective locking slot 14 of each of the storage boxes 1. Thus, the snapping portions 30 of each of the fastening members 3 are locked in the respective locking slots 14 of any two juxtaposed storage boxes 1 to combine the storage boxes 1 together in a horizontal direction. In addition, the snapping portions 30 of each of the fastening members 3 are bent inward toward each other to combine the storage boxes 1 closely.
  • In assembly, referring to FIGS. 1-3, each of the linking rods 20 is rotatable relative to each of the storage boxes 1 to drive the connecting members 21 to pivot relative to each of the storage boxes 1 simultaneously. Thus, the connecting members 21 are pivotable downward relative to each of the storage boxes 1 by rotating the linking rods 20, and the locking hook 23 of each of the connecting members 21 on each of the storage boxes 1 is inserted into and locked in the respective locking groove 11 of a lower one of the storage boxes 1 to combine the storage boxes 1 together in the vertical direction so that the storage boxes 1 are expandable in the vertical direction.
  • Alternatively, referring to FIG. 4 with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, the snapping portions 30 of each of the fastening members 3 are locked in the respective locking slots 14 of any two juxtaposed storage boxes 1 to combine the storage boxes 1 together in a horizontal direction so that the storage boxes 1 are expandable in the horizontal direction.
  • Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6 with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, the box assembly further comprises a plurality of upright support posts 4 surrounding the storage boxes 1 so that the storage boxes 1 are supported by the support posts 4 and are arranged in the vertical direction. Each of the support posts 4 is formed with a plurality of locking holes 40. Thus, the connecting members 21 are pivotable outwardly relative to each of the storage boxes 1, and the locking hook 23 of each of the connecting members 21 on each of the storage boxes 1 is inserted into and detachably locked in a respective locking hole 40 of each of the support posts 4 to secure the storage boxes 1 between the support posts 4.
  • Accordingly, the storage boxes 1 are expandable in the vertical direction by connection of the connecting members 21 and are expandable in the horizontal direction by connection of the fastening members 3 so that the box assembly is expandable in a two-dimensional manner to satisfy a user's requirement. In addition, the storage boxes 1 are assembled easily and quickly, thereby facilitating the user assembling the box assembly, and thereby saving the working time. Further, the storage boxes 1 are combined with the support posts 4 to form a parts rack to enhance the versatility of the box assembly.
  • Although the invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment(s) as mentioned above, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. It is, therefore, contemplated that the appended claim or claims will cover such modifications and variations that fall within the true scope of the invention.
