Length-adjustable box
The present invention relates to a length-adjustable box having a front and a rear plates connecting with adjustable elements and a non-rigid foldable bottom to form a volume-adjustable box, wherein the non-rigid bottom bearing no weight and transferring the whole weight of stores directly to the desk surface, thereby maximizing the box's weight-carrying capacity.
(a) Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a length-adjustable box and more particularly for a box having a front and a rear plates connecting with a non-rigid foldable bottom for length adjustment. The box can be placed on a desk surface for supporting heavy stores and also decorated with optical fiber ornaments to enhance visual beauty and serve as an illumination in the dark.
(b) Description of the Prior Art
A conventional household box is of a fixed volume for storing magazines, toys, etc which can be a waste when not having enough stores or can be a troublesome issue when having stores exceeding the capacity thereof. With the fixed bottom area of the conventional box, a large enough desk shall be selected for accommodating the box thereon. Besides, the conventional box bottom is usually made of a hard plate with a clearance away from the ground, which may cause deformation due to the heavy weight of stores.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention relates to a length-adjustable box having a front and a rear plates connecting with adjustable elements and a non-rigid foldable bottom to form a volume-adjustable box, wherein the non-rigid bottom bearing no weight and transferring the whole weight of stores directly to the desk surface, thereby maximizing the box's weight-carrying capacity.
To enhance visual beauty, optical fiber ornaments may be formed on an end of the box, which may also be serving as an illumination in the dark.
To enable a further understanding of the said objectives and the technological methods of the invention herein, the brief description of the drawings below is followed by the detailed description of the preferred embodiments.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
Referring to
With the foldable characteristic and the non-rigid foldable bottom 13, the box 1 can be fitted on the desk surface according to the size thereof and the weight of stores can be directly transferred to the desk surface 3, thereby enabling the length-adjustable box 1 maximizing weight supporting capability.
