Collapsible clothes closet

Abstract

A clothes closet mainly contains a cubic frame formed by a number of tubes arranged along the width, the depth, and the height respectively, and joined together by coupling members at the corners of the cubic frame. Each of the edges of the cubic frame along the depth and the height contains two tubes connected therebetween with a flexible cable. The holes on the coupling members for the insertion of the tubes along the depth and the height are configured with appropriate slits and openings. As such, when disassembling the clothes closet, the tubes in these holes could be bended 90 degrees toward the inside of the cubic frame. Together with the flexible cables, the cubic frame is collapsed completely into a thin and flat object that is very easy to carry and store.

1 . A collapsible clothes closet comprising a cubic frame enclosed in a cover, said cubic frame comprising: 
 a plurality of coupling members at the corners of said cubic frame, each of which has a first hole, a second hole, and a third hole orthogonal to each other;    a plurality of first tubes, each of which makes up an edge of said cubic frame along the width by having its ends inserted into said first holes of two opposing coupling members;    a plurality of second tubes, at least two of which make up an edge of said cubic frame along the depth by having their ends connected by a flexible cable therebetween and the outmost two ends inserted into said second holes of two opposing coupling members;    a plurality of third tubes, at least two of which make up an edge of said cubic frame along the height by having their ends connected by a flexible cable therebetween and the outmost two ends inserted into said third holes of two opposing coupling members;    wherein said second and third holes of each coupling member have a slit and an opening configured respectively on said coupling member to allow an inserted second tube and an inserted third tube to rotate toward a connected third tube so as to collapse said cubic frame.    
   
   
       2 . The collapsible clothes closet according to  claim 1 , wherein each of said third tubes has a plug installed at the end inserted into said third hole of a coupling member so that said third tube is tightly joined to said coupling member.  
   
   
       3 . The collapsible clothes closet according to  claim 1 , wherein each of said flexible cables has its two ends inserted into two plugs installed at the opposing ends of the connected tubes; each of said plugs are split into two opposing halves having saw teeth to tightly clip said flexible cable.  
   
   
       4 . The collapsible clothes closet according to  claim 1 , wherein each of said edges formed by connected second and third tubes is threaded through at least a movable sleeve; said sleeve is slid over to cover said flexible cable to prevent said edge from collapse.  
   
   
       5 . The collapsible clothes closet according to  claim 4 , wherein each of said second and third tubes has at least a locking mechanism configured on the surface to fixedly lock said sleeve when said sleeve is slid over to cover said flexible cable.
