Abstract

The present subject matter discloses an outdoor storage shed utilizing molded plastic components or panels. A storage shed structure can comprise foldable corner panels and one or more interlocked teeth couplings. The foldable coner panel can pivot at integrated folding grooves to serve as corners. The interlocked teeth couplings comprise a plurality of protrusions and matched recesses arranged on both sides of engaged panels. Furthermore, the storage shed can come with pre-constructed shelf grooves in the foldable corner panels. The storage shed can have a concaved door frame and a recessed door.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A storage shed structure made of molded plastic panels, comprising:
 a floor;   side walls coupled with the floor, the side walls further comprise:
 a plurality of flat panels; 
 a plurality of corner panels that form four corners of the storage shed structure, wherein the plurality of flat panels are coupled to the plurality of corner panels via at least one or more interlocked teeth couplings, wherein the interlocked teeth couplings comprise a plurality of protrusions and matched recesses arranged on both the plurality of corner panels and the plurality of flat panels, wherein plastic material has varied depth based on a design of the interlocked teeth couplings; and 
   a roof that comprises a plurality of roof panels.   
     
     
         2 . The storage shed structure of  claim 1 , wherein each corner panel has an embedded folding groove that divides a molded plastic panel into a first leaf and a second leaf, wherein the embedded folding groove has thinner plastic material that enables the corner panel to fold at a fixed angle when the molded plastic panel is installed. 
     
     
         3 . The storage shed structure of  claim 2 , wherein each corner panel further comprises:
 a second embedded folding groove with thinner less plastic material.   
     
     
         4 . The storage shed structure of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 a first coupling structure arranged on the first leaf; and   a second coupling structure arranged on the second leaf, wherein the first coupling structure is different from the second coupling structure.   
     
     
         5 . The storage shed structure of  claim 4 , wherein the first coupling structure comprises a slider and the second coupling structure comprises one or more clip slots. 
     
     
         6 . The storage shed structure of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a plurality of shelf grooves embedded into interior surfaces of the molded plastic panels.   
     
     
         7 . The storage shed structure of  claim 6 , further comprising:
 one or more shelves configured to insert into the plurality of shelf grooves to provide storage and to enhance the stability of the storage shed structure.   
     
     
         8 . The storage shed structure of  claim 1 , wherein the molded plastic panels comprise a number of back strengthening ribs that comprise vertical support grooves and horizontal support grooves, and wherein each vertical support groove is surrounded by a plurality of horizontal support grooves. 
     
     
         9 . The storage shed structure of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a concave door frame transition within a corner panel, wherein the concave door frame is sloped towards a door.   
     
     
         10 . The storage shed structure of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a plurality of supporting beams that are stored within embedded slots in the back of the molded plastic panels during transportation, wherein a depth of the embedded slots is smaller than a depth of the supporting beams.   
     
     
         11 . A storage shed structure made of molded plastic panels, comprising:
 side walls coupled with a floor, the side walls further comprise:
 a plurality of flat panels; and 
 a plurality of corner panels that form four corners of the storage shed structure, wherein the plurality of flat panels are coupled to the plurality of corner panels via at least one or more interlocked teeth couplings, wherein the interlocked teeth couplings comprise a plurality of protrusions and matched recesses arranged on both the plurality of corner panels and the plurality of flat panels, wherein plastic material has varied depth based on a design of the interlocked teeth couplings. 
   
     
     
         12 . The storage shed structure of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 a plurality of shelf grooves embedded into interior surfaces of the molded plastic panels.   
     
     
         13 . The storage shed structure of  claim 12 , further comprising:
 one or more shelves configured to insert into the plurality of shelf grooves to provide storage and to enhance the stability of the storage shed structure.   
     
     
         14 . The storage shed structure of  claim 11 , wherein the molded plastic panels comprise a number of back strengthening ribs that comprise vertical support grooves and horizontal support grooves, and wherein each vertical support groove is surrounded by a plurality of horizontal support grooves. 
     
     
         15 . The storage shed structure of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 a concave door frame transition within a corner panel, wherein the concave door frame is sloped towards a door.   
     
     
         16 . The storage shed structure of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 a plurality of supporting beams that are stored within embedded lots in the back of the molded plastic panels during transportation, wherein a depth of the embedded slots is smaller than a depth of the supporting beams.   
     
     
         17 . A storage shed structure made of molded plastic panels, comprising:
 side walls, the side walls further comprise:
 a plurality of flat panels; 
 a plurality of foldable corner panels that form one or more corners of the storage shed structure; and 
   a roof that comprises a plurality of foldable roof panels.   
     
     
         18 . The storage shed structure of  claim 17 , further comprising:
 a concave door frame transitions within a foldable corner panel, wherein the concave door frame is sloped towards a door coupled with the side walls and a floor; and   
     
     
         19 . The storage shed structure of  claim 18 , wherein each foldable corner panel and each foldable roof panel has an embedded folding groove that has thinner plastic material, and wherein the embedded folding groove enables each panel to fold at a fixed angle when the storage shed structure is installed.
