Assembled Box
An assembled box comprises multiple rectangular boards, multiple jointing members, and multiple coupling members. Each rectangular board defines a plurality of side holes and surface holes. Each jointing member is integrally formed with multiple pins. Each pin can be inserted into one of the side holes. Each coupling member can be inserted into one of the surface holes to be coupled with the one pin of a jointing member. Thereby, the rectangular boards can be placed horizontally or vertically and fixedly joined one after another by the jointing members with the coupling members to form a box containing multiple spaces therein.
The present invention relates to an assembled box and, more particularly, to a multi-space box that can be assembled by employing a plurality of rectangular boards to be placed horizontally or vertically and fixedly joined one after another with a plurality of jointing members in cooperation with a plurality of coupling members.
(B) DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ARTGenerally, storage boxes are made of wood or plastic material. To save space, a user may stack multiple storage boxes. Conventional storage boxes are only provided with a simple structure to assist the user in stacking the boxes. Since conventional storage boxes cannot be interlocked with each other, they are liable to fall down when encountering collisions or vibrations, thereby causing damages to goods and injuries to persons.
In view of the drawback of conventional storage boxes, based on the long-term experiences and after constant efforts on the research and experiments of storage boxes, the applicant has contrived a box that can be assembled more conveniently and stacked more securely.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe primary object of the present invention is to provide an assembled box that can be constructed by employing a plurality of rectangular boards to be placed horizontally or vertically and fixedly joined one after another with a plurality of jointing members in cooperation with a plurality of coupling members to prevent the box from falling down when encountering collisions or vibrations.
The assembled box comprises a plurality of rectangular boards, a plurality of jointing members, and a plurality of coupling members. Two sides of each rectangular board are each formed with two chamfers. Each rectangular board defines a plurality of side holes and surface holes at four corners thereof, so that each surface hole communicates with and extends substantially perpendicular to a corresponding side hole. Each jointing member is integrally formed with a plurality of pins, each pin having a protrusion formed at one end thereof. Each pin is capable of being inserted into one of the side holes. Each coupling member defines an opening at a bottom thereof and a spiral recess extending at a predetermined length from the opening, so that each coupling member can be inserted into one of the surface holes to be coupled with the protrusion of one pin of one of the jointing members. Thereby, the rectangular boards can be placed horizontally or vertically and fixedly joined one after another by inserting the pins of the jointing members and the coupling members respectively into the side holes and the surface holes to allow each coupling member to be coupled with the protrusion of a pin of a corresponding jointing member so as to form a box containing multiple spaces therein.
Other objects, advantages, and novel features of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
Turning now to
As shown, each jointing member 2 is integrally formed with a plurality of pins 21 that are located at different portions of the jointing member respectively corresponding to the rectangular boards 1 to be fixedly joined together to form a junction, each pin 21 having a protrusion 22 formed at one end thereof. Each pin 21 is capable of being inserted into one of the side holes 13. In more detail, the jointing members 2 are configured to be of L-shape, T-shape, or cross-shape. For an L-shaped jointing member 2, the pins 21 are located at two portions of the member respectively corresponding to two pieces of the rectangular boards 1 (see

Therefore, the rectangular boards 1 can be placed horizontally or vertically and fixedly joined one after another by the jointing members 2 of various types in cooperation with the coupling members 3 to form an assembled box containing multiple spaces therein.
Turning now to
In light of the foregoing, the present invention employs a plurality of rectangular boards 1 to be fixedly joined together by a plurality of jointing members 2 of various types in cooperation with a plurality of coupling members 3 to form an assembled box containing multiple spaces therein. In the present invention, since the rectangular boards are interlocked with each other, the assembled box can be prevented from falling down when encountering collisions or vibrations.
Although the present invention has been described with a certain degree of particularity, it is understood that the present disclosure is made by way of example only and the combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention hereinafter claimed.
