Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a wardrobe and more particularly pertains to a foldable wardrobe in the field of living items.[0002]Conventional wardrobes are generally made of wood, and are sturdy and durable. However, the shortcomings are that they are bulky and heavy, and it is difficult to transport and unable to stow. To overcome these shortcomings, lighter foldable wardrobes are provided in the marketplace. This kind of wardrobes is formed by means of a collapsible or bendable connection construction to secure a plurality of supporting frames and to cover the same with an outer covering. The supporting frames are mostly made of aluminum tubes, plastic tubes or other lightweight materials and the outer covering of the wardrobe is made of fabric, plastic or other lightweight materials. The collapsible wardrobes of simple construction lack rigidity, are easily damaged, and cannot repeatedly be assembled and disassembled for many times whereas the...

Benefits of technology

[0003]In view of the aforesaid disadvantages now present in the prior art, the object of the present invention is to provide a foldable wardrobe which is of simple and rigid construction, is instantly formed on expansion and can quickly be folded up into a small flat size after use, thereby being convenient to be stowed and carried and substantially saving the storage space. Both expanding and folding of the foldable wardrobe are fast and convenient.

[0008]The stiffeners can wholly be inserted into the sheaths, the opening ends of the sheaths can be disposed with nylon tapes (magic tapes) or other devices which are releasably removable connected for tightening or closing the openings, as to prevent the stiffeners from sliding out of the openings.

[0021]The opening ends of the transverse rod sheaths are disposed with nylon tapes (magic tapes) or other devices which are releasably removable connected for tightening or closing the openings, as to prevent the stiffening transverse rods from sliding out of the openings.

[0026]The front side of the flexible cabinet body may be disposed with three closable openings, the first opening is upwardly open from the middle or from any position close to the middle of the front side of the flexible cabinet body to its top, as to conveniently store or take out the clothing articles placed inside the top of the flexible cabinet body, the second opening is upwardly open from the bottom of the front side of the flexible cabinet body to any position beneath the middle, as to conveniently store or take out the clothing articles placed inside the bottom of the flexible cabinet body, the third opening encompasses the first opening and the second opening within its area, as to conveniently store or take out all the clothing articles placed inside the flexible cabinet body.

Problems solved by technology

However, the shortcomings are that they are bulky and heavy, and it is difficult to transport and unable to stow.

The collapsible wardrobes of simple construction lack rigidity, are easily damaged, and cannot repeatedly be assembled and disassembled for many times whereas the collapsible wardrobes of complicated construction are more difficult to be assembled and disassembled and the manufacturing cost is susceptibly higher.

For users especially those who are not familiar with the constructions, the existing foldable wardrobes are still not so convenient.
