- A conventional compartment box is usually made from boards. The top surface of the compartment box is selectively equipped with a cover, such that the compartment box has therein a hermetically sealed receiving space.
- However, in general, a trunk of a car has an L-shaped opening which faces outward and laterally. In the situation where an opening is provided at the top surface of the conventional compartment box put inside the trunk, users have to extend their upper limbs and then open the compartment box from above in order to take any object out of the compartment box. As a result, it is inconvenient to tidy or take any objects in the compartment box.
- Furthermore, the conventional compartment boxes are usually made of rigid materials and have a specific volume. The conventional compartment box cannot be collapsed even when the compartment box is not in use. As a result, when not in use, the compartment boxes have to be stored in an allocated space to the detriment of effective space management and ease of storage.
- In view of this, it is imperative to provide a compartment box adapted for use with motor vehicles and advantageously characterized by ease of storage and ease of use.
- The present invention relates to a compartment box for motor vehicles. A first covering board and a second covering board of the compartment box together provide a full-shield cover.

FIG. 1 throughFIG. 3 , in an embodiment of the present invention, a compartment box for motor vehicles includes arectangular board 10, twoside boards 20, afirst covering board 30, and asecond covering board 40. Therectangular board 10, the twoside boards 20, thefirst covering board 30, and thesecond 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 therectangular board 10. Therectangular board 10 has afirst edge portion 11, asecond edge portion 12, athird edge portion 13, and afourth edge portion 14 consecutively connected. Theedge portions rectangular board 10, respectively. Thefirst edge portion 11 and thethird edge portion 13 are the two short sides of therectangular board 10, whereas thesecond edge portion 12 and thefourth edge portion 14 are the two long sides of therectangular board 10. Alternatively, thefirst edge portion 11 and thethird edge portion 13 are the two long sides of therectangular board 10, whereas thesecond edge portion 12 and thefourth edge portion 14 are the two short sides of therectangular board 10. - A
flange 15 is disposed at the periphery of therectangular board 10. If a container which contains a liquid is kept in the compartment box but the liquid leaks inadvertently, theflange 15 disposed at the periphery of therectangular 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 thefirst edge portion 11 and thethird edge portion 13 of therectangular board 10 outward by a first length L1, respectively. Theside boards 20 each have a convoluted surface (composed of grooves and ridges) designed to reinforce theside boards 20. Furthermore, surfaces of theside boards 20 which face away from therectangular 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 thesecond edge portion 12 of therectangular board 10 extends outward by a second length L2. The second length L2 is less than the first length L1. Thefirst covering board 30 is separably coupled to the twoside boards 20 by twofirst coupling elements 50, respectively. The twofirst coupling elements 50 are first zippers disposed on two sides of thefirst covering board 30 and disposed at lower edges of the twoside boards 20, respectively. The two sides of thefirst covering board 30 where the two first zippers are disposed run along the second length L2. Thefirst covering board 30 is positioned proximate to the lower edges of the twoside boards 20 and is separably coupled thereto. As the second length L2 is less than the first length L1, thefirst covering board 30 gets coupled to the lower edges of the twoside boards 20 as soon as the twoside boards 20 and thefirst covering board 30 are erected and fastened to the first zippers. - The
second covering board 40 is formed as a result when thefourth edge portion 14 of therectangular 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 thefirst edge portion 11. Thesecond covering board 40 is separably coupled to the twoside boards 20 by twosecond coupling elements 60, respectively. The twosecond coupling elements 60 are each a second zipper and are disposed on two sides of thesecond covering board 40 and disposed at edges of the twoside boards 20 except the lower edge thereof, respectively. The two sides of thesecond covering board 40 where the second zippers are disposed run along the third length L3. - Hence, after the
second covering board 40 and the twoside boards 20 have been erected, thesecond covering board 40 can be coupled to the twoside 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 thefirst edge portion 11, the distal end of thesecond covering board 40 can come into contact with the distal end of thefirst covering board 30 or overlap the distal end of thefirst covering board 30. - The three-dimensional compartment box is formed, as soon as the two
side boards 20, thefirst covering board 30, and thesecond covering board 40 are erected to become perpendicular to therectangular board 10 and then coupled to each other by the twofirst coupling elements 50 and the twosecond coupling elements 60. The internal space of the compartment box thus formed holds objects intended by users. Thefirst covering board 30 and thesecond covering board 40 are separably coupled together to provide a full-shield cover. A concealable opening is formed at thefirst 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
