As shown in FIG. 1, the present disclosure provides a storage device 1 mounted on wall surfaces 2 and configured to accommodate articles. The storage device 1 comprises a mounting component 10, a storage component 20, and at least one elastic piece 30. The mounting component 10 and the storage component 20 are mounted on the wall surfaces 2 at intervals in a gravity direction. The at least one elastic piece 30 is connected between the mounting component 10 and the storage component 20. The at least one elastic piece 30, the mounting component 10, and the storage component 20 are enclosed to define a storage space 15. Under driving of an external force, the at least one elastic pieces 30 is deformed to define an entrance 16 of the storage space 15.


In the storage device 1, the at least one elastic piece 30 is connected between the mounting component 10 and the storage component 20 to form the storage space 15 with the mounting component 10 and the storage component 20, so that the at least one elastic piece 30 is served as a protective structure capable of preventing the articles accommodated in the storage space 15 from falling, thereby reducing a potential safety hazard of the storage device 1. In addition, the at least one elastic piece 30 is driven by the external force to deform and define the entrance 16, and a size of the entrance 16 is adjusted according to different deformation degrees of the at least one elastic piece 30, so that the articles with different volumes are allowed to be taken out or placed in the storage space from the entrance 16.


For instance, the mounting component 10 and the storage component 20 are mounted on two wall surfaces 2, and the two wall surfaces 2 are connected. That is, the mounting component 10 and the placing piece 20 are mounted at a wall corner defined by the two wall surfaces 2, so that the storage device 1 is disposed at a corner position in a room, which facilitates a spatial layout of the room. For ease of description, the following embodiments are all described by using an example in which the mounting component 10 and the storage component 20 are mounted on the wall corner.


The mounting component 10 and the storage component 20 are made of metal, plastic, or other materials. Optionally, the mounting component 10 and the storage component 20 are made of the metal or metal alloy. The metal and the metal alloy have excellent mechanical strength, so that the storage component 20 stably supports the articles accommodated in the storage space 15.


Optionally, the mounting component 10 and the storage component 20 are fixed structures. Furthermore, the mounting component 10 and the storage component 20 are foldable structures, and the mounting component 10 and the storage component 20 are mounted on the wall surfaces 2 at intervals in the gravity direction when unfolded, so as to reduce volumes of the mounting component 10 and the storage component 20, thereby reducing a packaging volume of the storage device 1 and facilitating transportation.


For instance, the mounting component 10 is symmetrical and is foldable along a perpendicular bisector perpendicular to an outer side edge thereof, and the storage component 20 is symmetrical and is foldable along a perpendicular bisector perpendicular to an outer side edge thereof. In this way, a space occupied by the mounting component 10 and the storage component 20 is small when folded, so that the packaging volume of the storage device 1 is further reduced.


Of course, in some embodiments, the mounting component 10 and the storage component 20 are not symmetrical but are still foldable.


In addition, the mounting component 10 comprises two first foldable structures. The storage component 20s comprises two second foldable structures. The two first foldable structures are connected by at least one first hinge (or at least one first connecting rod, etc.). The two second foldable structures are connected by at least one second hinge (or at least one second connecting rod, etc.). The hinges are easy to obtain and have low connection cost.


The mounting component 10 and the storage component 20 are plate-shaped structures, and the mounting component 10 and the storage component 20 are disposed in parallel in the gravity direction. A shape of the storage component 20 is same as or different with a shape of the mounting component 10. The storage component 20 and the mounting component 10 are fan-shaped, right-angled triangle, or rectangular, which makes storage component 20 and the mounting component 10 easy to manufacture and improves production efficiency.


The mounting component 10 at least comprises an inner side edge and an outer side edge. The storage component 20 at least comprises an inner side edge and an outer side edge. In addition, at least one of the mounting component 10 and the storage component 20 comprises a connecting edge. If the mounting component 10 or the storage component 20 only comprises the inner side edge and the outer side edge thereof, then the inner side edge and the outer side edge thereof are connected to form an outer periphery of the mounting component 10 or the storage component 20. If the mounting component 10 or the storage component 20 comprises the inner side edge, the outer side edge, and the connecting edge at the same time, the inner side edge, the outer side edge, and the connecting edge thereof are combined to form the outer periphery of the mounting component 10 or the storage component 20.


For ease of labeling and illustration, the inner side edge of the mounting component 10 is defined as a first inner side edge 11, the outer side edge of the mounting component 10 is defined as a first outer side edge 12, the connecting edge of the mounting component 10 is defined as a first connecting edge 17, the inner side edge of the storage component 20 is defined as a second inner side edge 21, the outer side edge of the storage component 20 is defined as a second outer side edge 22, and the connecting edge of the storage component 20 is defined as a second connecting edge.


As shown in FIGS. 1-4, the first inner side edge and the second inner side edge refer edges facing the wall corner, and the first outer side edge and the second outer side edge refer to edges disposed outwards with respect to the first inner side edge and the second inner side edge. The first connecting edge is an edge connecting the first inner side edge and the first outer side edge, and the second connecting edge is an edge connecting the second inner side edge and the second outer side edge.


The first inner side edge and the second inner side edge may be right-angled edges, straight edges, curved edges or other forms of edge structures. The first outer side edge and the second outer side edge may be convex arc edges, concave arc edges, wavy edges or other forms of edge structures.


In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, the first inner side edge 11 and the first outer side edge 12 of the mounting component 10 are disposed in parallel. The first inner side edge 11 and the first outer side edge 12 of the mounting component 10 are connected to the two wall surfaces 2 that are connected to define the wall corner.


In the embodiments, the mounting component 10 comprises the first connecting edge 17. The first inner side edge 11 and the first outer side edge 12 of the mounting component 10 are disposed in parallel and are connected between the two wall surfaces 2 that are connected to define the wall corner, so that the first inner side edge 11, the first outer side edge 12, and the first connecting edge 17 are enclosed to form the mounting component 10 having a smaller volume, which facilitates reducing a weight of the mounting component 10 and reducing manufacturing cost of the storage device 1.


In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 2-4, at least the second inner side edge 21 of the storage component 20 is a right-angled edge. The second inner side edge 21 of the storage component 20 is configured to attach to the wall corner of a right angle. Optionally, the first inner side edge of the mounting component 10 and the second inner side edge 21 of the storage component 20 are right-angled edges.


Taking the second inner side edge 21 of the storage component 20 is the right-angled edge as an example, the second inner side edge of the storage component 20 comprises a first edge and a second edge. The first edge and the second edge are perpendicular to each other to form a right angle. The first edge and the second edge are respectively attached to the two wall surfaces 2. By configuring the second inner side edge of the storage component 20 to be the right-angled edge capable of being attached to wall corner of the right angle, a mounting stability of the storage component 20 is improved, thereby facilitating a placement of the articles accommodated in the storage component 20. For one embodiment in which the second inner side edge of the storage component 20 and the first inner side edge of the mounting component 10 are the right-angled edges, a mounting stability of the storage device 1 is further improved.


In some embodiments, a structure of the first outer side edge 12 of the mounting component 10 is same as a structure of the second outer side edge 22 of the storage component 20. The first outer side edge of the mounting component 10 and the second outer side edge of the storage component 20 are aligned and disposed in parallel in the gravity direction, so that the storage space is defined between the mounting component 10 and the storage component 20, and the at least one elastic piece limits a size of the storage space 15.


For ease of illustration, the following embodiments are described by using an example in which the shape of the mounting component 10 and the shape of the storage component 20 are the same and are both fan-shaped or isosceles right-angled triangles. In the embodiments, the inner side edge of the mounting component 10 and the inner side edge of the storage component 20 are the right-angled edges, the outer side edge of the mounting component 10 and the outer side edge of the storage component 20 are convex arc edges or straight edges, and neither the mounting component 10 nor the storage component 20 comprises the connecting edge.


In some embodiments, a connection between the second inner side edge 21 and the second outer side edge of the storage component 20 is chamfered, and/or a connection between the first inner side edge 11 and the first outer side edge 12 of the mounting component 10 is chamfered. Optionally, the connection between the second inner side edge 21 and the second outer side edge of the storage component 20 is chamfered, and the connection between the first inner side edge 11 and the first outer side edge 12 of the mounting component 10 is chamfered. In this way, the first inner side edge smoothly transitions to the first outer side edge, and the second inner side edge smoothly transitions to the second outer side edge, which avoid a situation that the user is scratched by sharp corners of the mounting component 10 and/or sharp corners of the storage component 20, and improves use safety.


Of course, in other embodiments, the connection between the second inner side edge 21 and the second outer side edge of the storage component 20 is not chamfered, and the connection between the first inner side edge 11 and the first outer side edge 12 of the mounting component 10 is not chamfered.


In some embodiments, at least one of the mounting component 10 and the storage component 20 comprises at least one hollow portion for weight reduction, which reduces the weight of the storage device 1 and reduces the potential safety hazard of the storage device 1 falling due to mounting errors.


Optionally, the at least one hollow portion is formed on the storage component 20. According to difference us environments, the at least one hollow portion may have a drainage function in addition to reducing the weight of the storage device. For example, when the storage device 1 is mounted in a bathroom or outdoor, the storage space 15 is prone to water accumulation. At this time, the at least one hollow portion defined on the storage component 20 may discharge accumulated water in the storage space 15 to prevent the accumulated water from damage the storage component 20 and the articles stored therein.


Furthermore, one or more hollow portions are defined on both of the mounting component 10 and the storage component 20. When hollow portions are defined on the mounting component 10 and the storage component 20, shapes of the hollow portions may be same or different, which are determined according to actual needs.


As shown in FIG. 1, the shape of the mounting component 10 is different with the shape of the storage component 20, and the mounting component 10 comprises the first inner side edge, the first outer side edge, and the first connecting edge, while the storage component only comprises the second inner side edge and the second outer side edge. The first inner side edge of the mounting component 10 is parallel to the first outer side edge and is connected between the two wall surfaces 2 that are connected to define the wall corner. The storage component 20 is in a shape of an isosceles right triangle having the right-angled edge (i.e. the first connecting edge). In FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the shape of the mounting component 10 is same as the storage component 20, and both of the mounting component 10 and the storage component 2 are in the shape of the isosceles right triangle having the right-angled edge. In FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the shape of the mounting component 10 is same as the storage component 20, and both of the mounting component 10 and the storage component 2 are fan-shaped with the right-angle edges.


Optionally, the at least one elastic piece 30 is an elastic rope, an elastic net, an elastic cloth, etc., which is determined according to actual needs.


In some embodiments, the at least one elastic piece 30 comprises only one elastic piece 30 and the one elastic piece 30 is an elastic rope. The elastic piece 30 is staggered and alternately connected to the mounting component 10 and the storage component 20. Portions of the one elastic piece 30 located between the mounting component 10 and the storage component 20 are defined as elastic portions 31. Any one of the elastic portions 31 is deformable to define the entrance 16 of the storage space.


Specifically, a position of the entrance is not fixed. Specifically, each two adjacent elastic portions 31 are deformed to define the entrance with the mounting component 10 and the storage component 20, or one of the elastic portions 31 closet to a corresponding wall surface is deformed to define the entrance with the mounting component 10 and the storage component 20.


Optionally, the one elastic piece 30 is staggered and alternately pass through the mounting component 10 and the storage component 20. Alternatively, the one elastic piece 30 do not pass through the mounting component 10 and the storage component 20, but is only staggered and alternately connected between the mounting component 10 and the storage component 20.


By configuring the one elastic piece 30 to be the elastic rope, and the elastic rope 30 is staggered and alternately connected to the mounting component 10 and the storage component 20, a structure of the storage device 1 is simplified and the storage device 1 is easy to mount.


Furthermore, in some embodiments, through holes 13 are defined on the mounting component 10 and the storage component 20. The through holes 13 defined on the mounting component 10 are staggered with the through holes 13 defined on the storage component 20. The one elastic piece 30 alternately passes through the through holes 13 defined on the mounting component 10 and the through holes 13 defined on the storage component 20 to connect the mounting component 10 with the storage component 20. The arrangements of the through holes 13 facilitate connecting of the one elastic piece 30 and improves stability and reliability of mounting of the one elastic piece 30.


As shown in FIGS. 3-5, in some embodiments, the at least one elastic piece 30 comprises at least two elastic pieces 30. The at least two elastic pieces 30 are disposed along an outer side edge of the mounting component 10. Specifically, the position of the entrance is not fixed. For instance, each two adjacent elastic pieces 30 are deformed to define the entrance with the mounting component 10 and the storage component 20, or one of the elastic pieces 30 closet to a corresponding wall surface is deformed to define the entrance with the mounting component 10 and the storage component 20.


In the embodiment, the at least two elastic pieces 30 are connected between the mounting component 10 and the storage component 20 in the gravity direction, and do not pass through the mounting component 10 and the storage component 20, or each of the elastic pieces 30 passes through the mounting component 10 and the storage component 20 in the gravity direction.


By arrangements of the at least two elastic pieces 30, the articles stored in the storage space 15 are prevented from falling. Moreover, the entrance is define by the at least two elastic pieces 30, thus making the position of the entrance being adjustable and making it easy to place in or taken out the articles.


Furthermore, in some embodiments, through holes 13 are defined on the mounting component 10 and the storage component 20. The through holes 13 defined on the mounting component 10 are one-to-one corresponding to the at least two elastic pieces 30. The through holes 13 defined on the storage component 20 are one-to-one corresponding to the at least two elastic pieces 30. Each of the elastic pieces 30 passes through a corresponding through hole defined on the mounting component 10 and a corresponding through hole defined on the storage component 20. The arrangements of the through holes 13 facilitate connecting of the at least two elastic pieces 30 and improves stability and reliability of mounting of the at least two elastic pieces 30.


Furthermore, in some embodiments, the at least two elastic pieces 30 are elastic ropes. Each of the elastic pieces 30 is fixed to the corresponding through hole 13 defined on the mounting component 10 and the corresponding through hole defined on the storage component 20 by knotting. The elastic ropes are easy to obtain, and a fixing method thereof is simple and easy to operate, making the elastic ropes easy to mount.


As shown in FIGS. 5-9, in some embodiments, the through holes 13 defined on the mounting component 10 and the through holes 13 defined on the storage component 20 are stepped holes. Each of the elastic pieces 30 comprises an elastic portion 31 and mounting portions 32 disposed at two opposite ends of the elastic portion 31. Each elastic portion 31 is an elastic net. Each of the mounting portions 32 passes through a corresponding through hole 13 and is snapped on a hole wall of the corresponding through hole 13.


Each of the mounting portions 32 is snapped on the hole wall of the corresponding through hole 13, which is simple and easy to operate, making it easy to assemble the storage device 1. Moreover, each of the mounting portion 32 are shielded by the hole wall of the corresponding through hole 13, which improves an aesthetics of the storage device 1.


In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 8, limiting grooves 14 are defined on the mounting component 10 and the storage component 20. The limiting grooves 14 are one-to-one communicated with the through holes 13. Each of the elastic pieces 30 further comprises limiting portions 33 respectively connected to the mounting portions 32 thereof, and each of the limiting portions 33 is located in a corresponding limiting groove 14.


Each of the limiting portions 33 is fixedly connected or detachably connected to the corresponding mounting portion 32, which is determined according to actual needs.


By arrangements of the limiting portions 33 one-to-one limited in the limiting grooves 14, each of the mounting portions 32 is prevented from separating from the corresponding through hole 13 when a corresponding elastic portion 31 is stretched and deformed, which improves mounting reliability.


As shown in FIG. 6, in some embodiments, fixing pieces 40 are disposed on the mounting component 10 and the storage component 20. The fixing pieces 40 are configured to connect to the wall surfaces 2.


The fixing pieces 40 are detachably connected to the wall surfaces 2 through connecting pieces such as screws or pin shafts. Generally, the fixing pieces 40 are disposed on the first inner side edge of the mounting component 10 and the second inner side edge of the storage component 20. When the first inner side edge of the mounting component 10 and the second inner side edge of the storage component 20 are attached to the wall corner, the fixing pieces 40 disposed on the mounting component 10 and the storage component 20 are also attached to the wall corner for mounting.


In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 7, the storage device 1 further comprises a power supply 50 and a light strip. The light strip is disposed around the mounting component 10 and the storage component 20 and is connected between the mounting component 10 and the storage component 20. The power supply 50 is disposed at a bottom portion of the storage component 20 and is configured to supply power to the light strip.


Specifically, a portion of the light strip disposed around the mounting component 10 is located at the bottom portion of the mounting component 10, a portion of the light strip disposed around the storage component 20 is located on the bottom portion of the storage component 20, and portions of the light strip disposed between the mounting component 10 and the storage component 20 are parallel to the at least two elastic pieces 30.
