  • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
  • Referring to FIG. 1 through FIG. 3, in an embodiment of the present invention, a compartment box for motor vehicles includes a rectangular board 10, two side boards 20, a first covering board 30, and a second covering board 40. The rectangular board 10, the two side boards 20, the first covering board 30, and the second covering board 40 are made from lightweight foamed boards. Due to their material characteristics, foamed boards can be easily processed to attain advantageous features, such as superficial texture, elastic deformation, and flexibility. Furthermore, foamed boards are lightweight and thus suitable for use as the building blocks of a compartment box.
  • The rectangular board 10, which is a major board of the compartment box, has a convoluted surface (composed of grooves and ridges) designed to reinforce the rectangular board 10. The rectangular board 10 has a first edge portion 11, a second edge portion 12, a third edge portion 13, and a fourth edge portion 14 consecutively connected. The edge portions 11, 12, 13, 14 are the four sides of the rectangular board 10, respectively. The first edge portion 11 and the third edge portion 13 are the two short sides of the rectangular board 10, whereas the second edge portion 12 and the fourth edge portion 14 are the two long sides of the rectangular board 10. Alternatively, the first edge portion 11 and the third edge portion 13 are the two long sides of the rectangular board 10, whereas the second edge portion 12 and the fourth edge portion 14 are the two short sides of the rectangular board 10.
  • A flange 15 is disposed at the periphery of the rectangular board 10. If a container which contains a liquid is kept in the compartment box but the liquid leaks inadvertently, the flange 15 disposed at the periphery of the rectangular board 10 can confine the liquid to the compartment box, thereby preventing the liquid from leaking out of the compartment box.
  • The side boards 20 are formed by extending the first edge portion 11 and the third edge portion 13 of the rectangular board 10 outward by a first length L1, respectively. The side boards 20 each have a convoluted surface (composed of grooves and ridges) designed to reinforce the side boards 20. Furthermore, surfaces of the side boards 20 which face away from the rectangular board 10 are defined as external surfaces of the compartment box. Handles 21 can be disposed on the external surfaces to facilitate delivery of the compartment box, respectively.
  • The first covering board 30 is formed as a result when the second edge portion 12 of the rectangular board 10 extends outward by a second length L2. The second length L2 is less than the first length L1. The first covering board 30 is separably coupled to the two side boards 20 by two first coupling elements 50, respectively. The two first coupling elements 50 are first zippers disposed on two sides of the first covering board 30 and disposed at lower edges of the two side boards 20, respectively. The two sides of the first covering board 30 where the two first zippers are disposed run along the second length L2. The first covering board 30 is positioned proximate to the lower edges of the two side boards 20 and is separably coupled thereto. As the second length L2 is less than the first length L1, the first covering board 30 gets coupled to the lower edges of the two side boards 20 as soon as the two side boards 20 and the first covering board 30 are erected and fastened to the first zippers.
  • The second covering board 40 is formed as a result when the fourth edge portion 14 of the rectangular board 10 extends outward by a third length L3. The third length L3 is larger than the sum of the first length L1 and the length of the first edge portion 11. The second covering board 40 is separably coupled to the two side boards 20 by two second coupling elements 60, respectively. The two second coupling elements 60 are each a second zipper and are disposed on two sides of the second covering board 40 and disposed at edges of the two side boards 20 except the lower edge thereof, respectively. The two sides of the second covering board 40 where the second zippers are disposed run along the third length L3.
  • Hence, after the second covering board 40 and the two side boards 20 have been erected, the second covering board 40 can be coupled to the two side boards 20 by means of the second zippers, respectively. With the third length L3 being larger than the sum of the first length L1 and the length of the first edge portion 11, the distal end of the second covering board 40 can come into contact with the distal end of the first covering board 30 or overlap the distal end of the first covering board 30.
  • The three-dimensional compartment box is formed, as soon as the two side boards 20, the first covering board 30, and the second covering board 40 are erected to become perpendicular to the rectangular board 10 and then coupled to each other by the two first coupling elements 50 and the two second coupling elements 60. The internal space of the compartment box thus formed holds objects intended by users. The first covering board 30 and the second covering board 40 are separably coupled together to provide a full-shield cover. A concealable opening is formed at the first covering board 30, such that the compartment box can be opened laterally to allow objects to be put into and taken out of the compartment box easily and conveniently.
  • Referring to FIG. 1, the first covering board 30 has a cord (not shown). The second covering board 40 has two rings 41 penetrable by the cord, so as for the first covering board 30 and the second covering board 40 to be fastened to each other, thereby shutting the concealable opening.
  • Referring to FIG. 3, the compartment box further comprises at least a partition board 70 for dividing the internal space of the compartment box into multiple units.
