The present invention will be described through detailed illustration of three embodiments referring to the drawings.
Referring to
The first wall member 10 includes a major portion 11 and two minor portions 12. The major portion 11 and the minor portions 12 are made into one piece. However, there is a fold line 13 between the major portion 11 and each of the minor portions 12. The thickness of the fold line 13 is smaller than that of the rest of the first wall member 10 so that the minor portions 12 can be pivoted relative to the major portion 11, i.e., the first wall member 10 can be transformed into a three-dimensional structure from a two-dimensional structure.
The major portion 11 is formed with an upper edge 111 and a lower edge 112 shorter than the upper edge 111. The major portion 11 is provided with a ferrule holder extended along the upper edge 111. The ferrule holder includes a horizontal portion 113 and a retroflex portion 114. The horizontal portion 113 is inwardly extended from the upper edge 111 of the major portion 11. The retroflex portion 114 is downwardly and outwardly extended from the horizontal portion 113. The ferrule holder is suitable for holding the ferrule 40. The ferrule holder and the major portion 11 are made separate from each other by injection molding and joined to each other by high frequency.
Each of the minor portions 12 includes an upper edge 121, a lower edge 122 shorter than the upper edge 121 and a lateral edge 14 extended from the upper edge 121 to the lower edge 122. The lateral edge 14 is wave-shaped. Each of the minor portions 12 is provided with a ferrule holder extended along the upper edge 121. The ferrule holder includes a horizontal portion 123 and a retroflex portion 124. The horizontal portion 123 is inwardly extended from the upper edge 121 of each of the minor portions 12. The retroflex portion 124 is downwardly and outwardly extended from the horizontal portion 123. The ferrule holders provided on the minor portions 12 are suitable for holding the ferrule 40.
The second wall member 10′ is substantially identical to the first wall member 10. In specific, the second wall member 110′ includes a major portion 11′ and two minor portions 12′. The major portion 11′ includes an upper edge 111′ and a lower edge 112′. The major portion 11′ is provided with a ferrule holder that includes a horizontal portion 113′ and a retroflex portion 114′. Each of the minor portions 12′ includes an upper edge 121′, a lower edge 122′ and a lateral edge 14′. Each of the minor portions 12′ is provided with a ferrule holder that includes a horizontal portion 123′ and a horizontal portion 124′. However, the lateral edge 14′ is compliant to the lateral edge 14, not identical.
The floor member 30 is made with four edges 31. The edges 31 of the floor member 30 are joined to the lower edges 112 and 122 of the first wall member 10 and the lower edges 112′ and 122′ of the second wall member 10′.
The ferrule 40 is shaped corresponding to the floor member 30. An area defined within the ferrule 40 is larger than the area of the floor member 30.

Referring to
For example, the area of the floor member 30 may be substantially equal to the area defined by the ferrule 40. For instance, the floor member 30 may be made of any other appropriate shape instead of a square. Moreover, the wall members and the ferrule 40 may be made of shape other than that of the floor member 30. Furthermore, there may be more than two wall members.
The colorful combinative box according to the present invention exhibits several advantages. Firstly, it provides an aesthetically pleasing appearance that lasts much longer than the conventional box addressed in the Related Prior Art does. Secondly, it provides an aesthetically pleasing appearance different from that of the conventional box mentioned in the Related Prior Art.
The present invention has been described through the illustration of the embodiments. Those skilled in the art can derive variations from the embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments shall not limit the scope of the present invention defined in the claims.
