  • Patent number: 7748795
    Abstract: A computer housing includes a foldable frame and a face panel. The frame is disposed for mounting a motherboard, an optical disk drive, and a power supply, and includes two first housing panels and two second housing panels that are connected pivotally and surroundingly as a whole. The frame is foldable into a folded state, where the first and second housing panels are turned pivotally to be proximate to each other so as to reduce the size of the frame, as well as the space and material required for packaging the frame, thereby saving costs of transport and packaging material.

  • Publication number: 20080054058
    Abstract: A packaging box assembly includes a base plate, a middle plate set and a cover plate. The base plate has a central wall, and a plurality of lateral walls extending from the central wall. The lateral walls are foldable along fold lines to define a receiving space with the central wall. The middle plate set is placed within the receiving space and is changeable between a cushioning position in which the middle plate set is parallel to the central wall, and an assembled position in which the middle plate set is perpendicular to the central wall. When the middle plate set is in the cushioning position, the cover plate is placed on top of the base plate. When the middle plate set is in the assembled position, the cover plate is placed on the middle plate set. Thus, various modular configurations are formed to change the size of the box assembly.
