Abstract

A case with a corner-protection structure includes: the case has at least one assembling portion located at a corner, the assembling portion includes: an outer surface, an inner surface opposite to the outer surface, an assembling hole extending through the outer surface and the inner surface, and two assembling grooves formed in the outer surface and disposed at opposite sides of the assembling portion; and a corner-protection member detachably assembled on the assembling portion of the case, the corner-protection member includes: an abutting surface abutted against the outer surface, two engaging portions disposed on the abutting surface and slidably disposed in the two assembling grooves, and an engaging post disposed on the abutting surface and inserted in the assembling hole. The corner-protection structure is capable of protecting the fragile corners of the case, and effectively reducing the problem that the corners are easily damaged by collision.

Claims (6)

1. A case with a corner-protection structure, comprising:

the case having at least one assembling portion located at a corner, each of the assembling portions including: an outer surface, an inner surface opposite to the outer surface, an assembling hole extending through the outer surface and the inner surface, and two assembling grooves formed in the outer surface and disposed at opposite sides of the assembling portion; and

a corner-protection member detachably assembled on the assembling portion of the case, wherein the corner-protection member includes: an abutting surface abutted against the outer surface, two engaging portions disposed on the abutting surface and slidably disposed in the two assembling grooves, and an engaging post disposed on the abutting surface and inserted in the assembling hole, wherein the corner-protection member is a polyhedron;

wherein each of the assembling grooves has an arc bevel, and each of the engaging portions is Y-shaped and has two inclined surfaces respectively disposed at opposite sides thereof and abutting against the arc bevel.

2. The case with the corner-protection structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the engaging post has a head portion that abuts against the inner surface of the assembling portion, and a body portion connected to the head portion and inserted through the assembling hole, the head portion of the engaging post is provided with two elastic segments which are elastic and spaced apart from each other, and the two elastic segments are capable of being pressed under the action of an external force to pass through the assembling hole.

3. The case with the corner-protection structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the case is a trunk, a storage box, or a tool box.
