  • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
  • The following descriptions are of exemplary embodiments only, and are not intended to limit the scope, applicability or configuration of the invention in any way. Rather, the following description provides a convenient illustration for implementing exemplary embodiments of the invention. Various changes to the described embodiments may be made in the function and arrangement of the elements described without departing from the scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.
  • Referring to FIGS. 1A and 1B, a storage container in accordance with the present invention is shown comprised of a container body 1 and a bottom panel 2.
  • The container body 1 has a rectangular profile formed of four upright peripheral panels and a bottom bearing sheet material 13 and defining a storage space for storing things. According to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, the upright peripheral panels are bamboo curtains, each is formed of a number of bamboo strips 11 and weaving cords 111. The weaving cords 111 link the bamboo strips 11 together in a parallel manner. Further, each of the four sides of each upright peripheral panel of the container body 1 is provided a first reinforcing strip 14 and a binding 12 that holds the first reinforcing strip 14 in place (see FIG. 3B). The binding 12 at one vertical lateral side of one upright peripheral panel is fastened to the binding 12 at one vertical lateral side of another upright peripheral panel with stitches, and therefore the four upright peripheral panels of the container body 1 are linked together. The bottom bearing sheet material 13 is made of a flexible material, such as nylon cloth, plastic sheet material, canvass, etc. Further, the bottom bearing sheet material 13 is stitched to the bindings 12 at the bottom sides of the four upright peripheral panels of the container body 1. Each first reinforcing strip 14 can be formed of a single strip having a length equal to the transverse width of the upright peripheral panels of the container body 1. In this case, upright peripheral panel of the container body 1 is not folding collapsible. Alternatively, each first reinforcing strip 14 can be formed of two equal strip members hinged together. In this case, the container body 1 can be folded into a collapsed flat manner (see FIGS. 2A and 2B).
  • The bottom panel 2 is formed of a number of bamboo strips 21 and weaving cords 211. The weaving cords 211 link the bamboo strips 21 together in a parallel manner. Further, each of the four sides of each upright peripheral panel of the bottom panel 2 is respectively provided a binding 22. When the container body 1 is set up, the bottom panel 2 is put in the container body 1 and supported on the bottom bearing sheet material 13 with its four sides respectively stopped against the four upright peripheral panels of the container body 1.
  • The formation of the edge of the bamboo curtain for each upright peripheral panel of the container body 1 can be achieved, as shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, by means of: arranging bamboo strips 11 in vertical in a parallel manner, and then horizontally attaching one first reinforcing strip 14 to the bamboo strips 11 at the top, and then fastening one binding 12 to the bamboo strips 11 with stitches 15 to hold the first reinforcing strip 14 at the top of the bamboo strips 11.
  • FIGS. 4A and 4B illustrate a second edge-forming method for the bamboo curtain for each upright peripheral panel of the container body 1. This second edge-forming method is same as the aforesaid first method shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B with the exception of that second reinforcing strips 14A are stitched to the inner side of the bamboo curtain either in vertical or horizontal. The second reinforcing strips 14A reinforce the strength of the bamboo curtain. However, the locations of the second reinforcing strips 14A must not hinder the folding collapsible function of the bamboo curtain.
  • FIGS. 5A and 5B illustrate a third edge-forming method for the bamboo curtain for each upright peripheral panel of the container body 1. This third method is substantially similar to the second method shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B with the exception that pockets 16 are stitched to the inner side of the bamboo curtain either in vertical or horizontal, and a second reinforcing strip 14A is respectively is mounted in each pocket 16.
  • FIGS. 6A and 6B illustrate a fourth edge-forming method for the bamboo curtain for each upright peripheral panel of the container body according to the present invention. According to this method, bamboo strips 11 are horizontally arranged in a parallel manner, and then one first reinforcing strip 14 is horizontally attached to the top side of the topmost bamboo strip 11, and then one binding 12 is fastened to the topmost bamboo strip 11 with stitches to hold the first reinforcing strip 14 at the top of the topmost bamboo strip 11.
  • FIGS. 7A and 7B illustrate a fifth edge-forming method for the bamboo curtain for each upright peripheral panel of the container body according to the present invention. This fifth edge-forming method is same as the aforesaid fourth method shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B with the exception of that second reinforcing strips 14A are stitched to the inner side of the bamboo curtain either in vertical or horizontal. The second reinforcing strips 14A reinforce the strength of the bamboo curtain. However, the locations of the second reinforcing strips 14A must not hinder the folding collapsible function of the bamboo curtain.
  • FIGS. 8A and 8B illustrate a sixth edge-forming method for the bamboo curtain for each upright peripheral panel of the container body 1. This sixth method is substantially similar to the fifth method shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B with the exception that pockets 16 are stitched to the inner side of the bamboo curtain either in vertical or horizontal, and a second reinforcing strip 14A is respectively is mounted in each pocket 16.
  • FIGS. 9A and 9B illustrate a seventh edge-forming method for the bamboo curtain for each upright peripheral panel of the container body according to the present invention. According to this method, bamboo strips 17 are vertically arranged in a parallel manner, and then cords 17A are inserted through insertion holes (not shown) on the bamboo strips 17 to link the bamboo strips 17 together, and then one binding 12 is fastened to the top of the bamboo strips 11 with stitches. In another alternate form, the bamboo strips 17 are horizontally arranged in a parallel manner, and then one cords 17A are inserted through insertion holes (not shown) on the bamboo strips 17 to link the bamboo strips 17 together.
  • It will be understood that each of the elements described above, or two or more together may also find a useful application in other types of methods differing from the type described above.
  • While certain novel features of this invention have been shown and described and are pointed out in the annexed claim, it is not intended to be limited to the details above, since it will be understood that various omissions, modifications, substitutions and changes in the forms and details of the device illustrated and in its operation can be made by those skilled in the art without departing in any way from the spirit of the present invention.
