Abstract

A foldable storage box includes a bottom panel, a rear panel, two lateral panels, a front panel, and a lid. The bottom panel has a rear edge with a first pivotal connection portion, two lateral edges each with a second pivotal connection portion, and a front edge with a third pivotal connection portion. The rear panel has a first bottom edge with a fourth pivotal connection portion pivotally connected to the first pivotal connection portion. Each lateral panel has a second bottom edge with a fifth pivotal connection portion pivotally connected to one of the second pivotal connection portions. The front panel has a third bottom edge with a sixth pivotal connection portion pivotally connected to the third pivotal connection portion. The lid is detachably connected to the rear panel, the two lateral panels, and the front panel to form the foldable storage box and the receiving space therein.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A foldable storage box, comprising:
 a bottom panel formed with a rear edge, two opposite lateral edges, and a front edge, wherein the rear edge is provided with at least one first pivotal connection portion, each of the two lateral edges is provided with at least one second pivotal connection portion, and the front edge is provided with at least one third pivotal connection portion;   a rear panel detachably connected to the bottom panel and formed with a first bottom edge corresponding in position to the rear edge, wherein the first bottom edge is provided with a fourth pivotal connection portion corresponding in position to the first pivotal connection portion, and the fourth pivotal connection portion is pivotally connected to the first pivotal connection portion such that the rear panel is able to be folded and unfolded with respect to the bottom panel;   two lateral panels detachably connected to the bottom panel and each formed with a second bottom edge corresponding in position to one of the two lateral edges, wherein each of the two second bottom edges is provided with a fifth pivotal connection portion corresponding in position to the second pivotal connection portion of the corresponding one of the two lateral edges, and the fifth pivotal connection portion of each of the two second bottom edges is pivotally connected to the second pivotal connection portion of the corresponding one of the two lateral edges such that the two lateral panels are able to be folded and unfolded with respect to the bottom panel;   a front panel detachably connected to the bottom panel and formed with a third bottom edge corresponding in position to the front edge, wherein the third bottom edge is provided with a sixth pivotal connection portion corresponding in position to the third pivotal connection portion, and the sixth pivotal connection portion is pivotally connected to the third pivotal connection portion such that the front panel is able to be folded and unfolded with respect to the bottom panel; and   a lid detachably connected to the rear panel, the two lateral panels, and the front panel such that the bottom panel, the rear panel, the two lateral panels, the front panel, and the lid jointly form a receiving space.   
     
     
         2 . The foldable storage box of  claim 1 , wherein each of the first pivotal connection portion, each said second pivotal connection portion, and the third pivotal connection portion is a pivotal connection groove formed by a curved plate, and each of the fourth pivotal connection portion, each said fifth pivotal connection portion, and the sixth pivotal connection portion is a pivot shaft. 
     
     
         3 . The foldable storage box of  claim 1 , wherein the second pivotal connection portions are lower than the first pivotal connection portion and the third pivotal connection portion. 
     
     
         4 . The foldable storage box of  claim 1 , wherein the rear panel has two lateral edges adjacent to the first bottom edge and each formed as a first lateral connection edge, each of the two lateral panels is formed with a second lateral connection edge to be disposed adjacent to and in contact with one of the two first lateral connection edges, each of the two first lateral connection edges is provided with at least one first connection portion, each of the two second lateral connection edges is provided with at least one second connection portion, and the second connection portion of each of the two second lateral connection edges is configured to engage securely with the first connection portion of the corresponding one of the two first lateral connection edges. 
     
     
         5 . The foldable storage box of  claim 4 , wherein each of the first connection portions is an engaging groove, and each of the second connection portions is an engaging block. 
     
     
         6 . The foldable storage box of  claim 4 , wherein the second connection portion of each of the two second lateral connection edges is configured to disengage from the first connection portion of the corresponding one of the two first lateral connection edges in a direction toward the bottom panel. 
     
     
         7 . The foldable storage box of  claim 4 , wherein each of the two first lateral connection edges is protrudingly provided with a first protective cover. 
     
     
         8 . The foldable storage box of  claim 1 , wherein the front panel has two lateral edges flanking the third bottom edge and each protrudingly provided with a second protective cover. 
     
     
         9 . The foldable storage box of  claim 1 , wherein the rear panel is further formed with a first top edge, the first top edge and the first bottom edge are two opposite edges of the rear panel, each of the two lateral panels is further formed with a second top edge, the second top edge and the second bottom edge of each of the two lateral panels are two opposite edges, and the lid has a bottom side concavely provided with an accommodating portion for accommodating the first top edge and the two second top edges. 
     
     
         10 . The foldable storage box of  claim 9 , wherein the accommodating portion is a square U-shaped groove. 
     
     
         11 . The foldable storage box of  claim 1 , wherein the front panel is further formed with a third top edge, the third top edge and the third bottom edge are two opposite edges of the front panel, the front panel is provided with at least one first magnetic element at a position adjacent to the third top edge, the lid has a bottom side provided with a second magnetic element corresponding in position to the first magnetic element, and the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element are magnetically securable to each other. 
     
     
         12 . The foldable storage box of  claim 1 , wherein the front panel is notched to form a pulling portion. 
     
     
         13 . The foldable storage box of  claim 1 , wherein the bottom panel has a bottom side protrudingly formed with a first joining portion, and the lid has a top side concavely formed with a second joining portion to be joined to the first joining portion of another said bottom panel.
