Abstract

A storage box structure includes a first plate, a second plate, a third plate, a fourth plate, a fifth plate, a sixth plate and a seventh plate which are integrally formed and connected with each other, thereby decreasing cost of fabrication. In addition, the storage box structure may be assembled and disassembled easily, quickly and conveniently, thereby facilitating the user assembling and disassembling the storage box structure. Further, multiple storage box structures may be combined with each other in a laminated manner rigidly and stably, thereby reducing the space of storage. Further, the storage box structure is expanded into a planar sheet when not in use, thereby reducing the space of storage, and thereby decreasing cost of transportation.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A storage box structure, comprising a first plate, a second plate, a third plate, a fourth plate, a fifth plate, a sixth plate and a seventh plate, wherein: 
 the first plate has an first side and a second side, wherein the second side is formed with a plurality of elongated slots, the first plate has a front side formed with a front snap piece facing inward and a rear side formed with a rear snap piece facing inward;    the second plate has a first side connected to the second side of the first plate;    the third plate has a first side connected to the second side of the second plate and has a front side formed with a front snap strip and a rear side formed with a rear snap strip;    the fourth plate has a first side connected to the second side of the third plate and has a front side formed with a front snap strip and a rear side formed with a rear snap strip;    the fifth plate has a first side connected to the second side of the fourth plate and a second side formed with a plurality of connecting hook pieces each locked in a respective one of the elongated slots of the first plate;    the sixth plate has an inner side connected to the front side of the first plate and an outer side formed with a upper hook piece, the sixth plate has a first side formed with a side hook strip and a second side formed with a side hook piece; and    the seventh plate has an inner side connected to the rear side of the first plate and an outer side formed with a upper hook piece, the seventh plate has a first side formed with a side hook strip and a second side formed with a side hook piece.    
     
     
         2 . The storage box structure in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the first plate, the second plate, the third plate, the fourth plate, the fifth plate, the sixth plate and the seventh plate are integrally formed with each other.  
     
     
         3 . The storage box structure in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the first plate has two elongated slots, and the fifth plate has two connecting hook pieces.  
     
     
         4 . The storage box structure in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the front side of the fourth plate is formed with an elongated through hole located adjacent to the front snap strip of the fourth plate, the rear side of the fourth plate is formed with an elongated through hole located adjacent to the rear snap strip of the fourth plate, and the second plate has a front side and a rear side each formed with a connecting hook piece locked in the respective elongated through hole of the fourth plate.  
     
     
         5 . The storage box structure in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the sixth plate is formed with a passage hole for passage of the user's one finger.  
     
     
         6 . The storage box structure in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the seventh plate is formed with a passage hole for passage of a user's one finger.
