Abstract
A structure of a storage box includes a main body, a stacking assembly, and a forward opening. The main body has an upper and front-facing opening and a recess on the rear. The stacking assembly is attached to the main body, covers the upper and front-facing opening, and has an upper cover and a front cover, the upper cover fitted to the front cover with a snap and having a convex portion, the shape of the convex portion identical to the shape of the recess. The forward opening is a part of the upper and front-facing opening of the main body and is covered by the front cover. When two or more storage boxes are stacked, the convex portion of the second storage box embeds the recess of the first storage box, preventing the entire structure from tilting forward when the front cover of the storage box above is opened.
Claims6
An improved structure of a storage box comprising:
- a main body having front and rear portions, with an upper and front-facing opening, the upper and front-facing opening having a top opening and a forward opening, and a recess in a rear wall, opposite to the forward opening, of the rear portion of the main body;
- and
- a stacking assembly attached to the main body, said stacking assembly configured to cover the upper and front-facing opening, wherein the stacking assembly has an upper cover and a front cover, the upper cover fitted to the front cover by snap-fitting, and
- wherein the upper cover has a convex portion, wherein a shape of the convex portion corresponds to a shape of the recess in the rear wall on the rear portion of the main body,
- wherein the forward opening is covered by the front cover,
- wherein the upper cover and front cover of the stacking assembly further comprise a limiting section formed at a front section on an inside of said upper cover, and, at a back section of the inside of said upper cover, a pair of snap portions facing the limiting section,
- wherein when the front cover is correspondingly positioned with the upper cover, a lower concave portion on a front side of a periphery of the front cover is configured to be pushed in and held by said limiting section, and a periphery of the front cover on a side of the front cover opposite to the front side snaps into the pair of snap portions wherein the front cover is snapped to an inner surface of the upper cover;
- and
- a clasp portion on an inner periphery of the upper cover, wherein the clasp portion has several channels to allow the upper cover to snap into a bottom portion of an annular flange of the main body.
