Description
CROSS REFERENCE TO THE RELATED PATENT APPLICATIONS

This patent application claims the priority of the Chinese patent application No. 200920218031.9 filed on Oct. 23, 2009, which application is incorporated herein by reference.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention


The present invention relates to dustbin. More particularly, the present invention relates to an assembled dustbin.


2. Related Prior Art


Most dustbins in prior arts are integral, inconvenient for carrying and transport. They also cause expensive cost of transportation.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

An assembled dustbin, comprising:


a baseplate (1), body (2) and a dead ring (3);


The body (2) comprises four pillars (22) and four side plates (21). Each pillar (22) comprises inner pillar (5) and outer pillar (6). The four pillars (22) and four side plates (21) form the body (2). The lower ends of pillars (22) and side plates (21) are coupled with the baseplate (1), and the upper ends of pillars (22) and side plates (21) are coupled with the dead ring (3).


The inner pillar (5) is provided with snap-fit (51) and the outer pillar (6) is provided with snap-fit (61). The snap-fit (51) and snap-fit (61) are engaged each other to couple the inner pillar (5) with the outer pillar (6) to form a cavity (7).


The baseplate (1) is integrally provided with a protruding boss (17) that has a snap-fit (171). The dead ring (3) is provided with a protruding boss (37) that has a snap-fit (371). Both ends of each inner pillar (5) are provided with notches (52). The engagement of each inner pillar (5) and each outer pillar (6) forms a cavity (7). The lower end of cavity (7) sheathes the boss (17) provided with the baseplate (1) and the snap-fit (171) of boss (17) engages with the notch (52) to secure the inner pillar (5) and the baseplate (1). The upper end of cavity (7) sheathes the boss (37) provided with the dead ring (3) and the snap-fit (371) of boss (37) engages with the notch (52) to secure the inner pillar (5) and the dead ring (3).


The said side plate (21) is provided with a notch (212). The inner pillar (5) is provided with a snap hook (53) to couple the notch (212).


The baseplate (1) is provided with notches (13) and the dead ring is provided with notches (33). The side plate (21) is provided with snap-fits (211). The snap-fits (211) engage with the notches (13) of baseplate (1) and the notches (33) of dead ring (3) to secure the side plate (21) in between of the baseplate (1) and the dead ring (3).


Keeping in mind the above problems occurring in the related art, the present invention provides an assembled dustbin that can be easily assembled and disassembled. It is also characterized by pretty appearance, small coverage of warehouse area, low transport fee and good market prospects.

Embodiment 1

An assembled dustbin, comprising:


a baseplate (1), body (2) and a dead ring (3);


The body (2) comprises four pillars (22) and four side plates (21). Each pillar (22) comprises inner pillar (5) and outer pillar (6). The four pillars (22) and four side plates (21) form the body (2). The lower ends of pillars (22) and side plates (21) are coupled with the baseplate (1), and the upper ends of pillars (22) and side plates (21) are coupled with the dead ring (3).


The inner pillar (5) is provided with snap-fit (51) and the outer pillar (6) is provided with snap-fit (61). The snap-fit (51) and snap-fit (61) are engaged each other to couple the inner pillar (5) with the outer pillar (6) to form a cavity (7).


The baseplate (1) is integrally provided with a protruding boss (17) that has a snap-fit (171). The dead ring (3) is provided with a protruding boss (37) that has a snap-fit (371). Both ends of each inner pillar (5) are provided with notches (52). The engagement of each inner pillar (5) and each outer pillar (6) forms a cavity (7). The lower end of cavity (7) sheathes the boss (17) provided with the baseplate (1) and the snap-fit (171) of boss (17) engages with the notch (52) to secure the inner pillar (5) and the baseplate (1). The upper end of cavity (7) sheathes the boss (37) provided with the dead ring (3) and the snap-fit (371) of boss (37) engages with the notch (52) to secure the inner pillar (5) and the dead ring (3).


The said side plate (21) is provided with a notch (212). The inner pillar (5) is provided with a snap hook (53) to couple the notch (212).


The baseplate (1) is provided with notches (13) and the dead ring is provided with notches (33). The side plate (21) is provided with snap-fits (211). The snap-fits (211) engage with the notches (13) of baseplate (1) and the notches (33) of dead ring (3) to secure the side plate (21) in between of the baseplate (1) and the dead ring (3).
