Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to chess game equipment, and in particular to a foldable chessboard box which is easy to carry, can save storage space, can conceal a chessboard surface in the chessboard box, and can properly protect the chessboard surface. Background Art

[0002] Generally speaking, chessboards are usually square plates, so they have a certain volume. Therefore, chessboards often need to be stored after use. However, in this way, it is easy to find the chessboard but not the chess pieces. Therefore, some inventors have proposed chessboard sets that can store chess pieces, such as Taiwan Utility Model Patent No. TWM5432721 "Multifunctional chess set" and China Invention Patent No. CN2059597U "Box-type multi-purpose chessboard". Although these chessboard sets can store chess pieces, they have the problem of easy wear of the chessboard surface because the chessboard surface is arranged on the outer surface of the box body, or the appearance of the chessboard set is not beautiful enough.

[0003] Therefore, some inventors have proposed a chessboard set that can save storage space or can hide the chessboard surface in the box body, such as the Taiwan Utility Model Patent No. TWM340834 "Multifunctional Chessboard Display Box". However, although the appearance of the chessboard display box can be customized according to user needs, because the chessboard display box is opened in a split manner, the chess pieces can only be stored between two relatively pivoted plates. Figure 5 The disclosed chessboard still has the problem that chess pieces are easily worn out due to shaking or collision, and even if the chess pieces stored in the box can be classified by the partition plate, the classification (or color) of these chess pieces may be affected due to the shaking of the chessboard box.

[0004] In summary, it can be seen that how to provide a chessboard set with a simple structure and capable of properly storing chess pieces, reducing storage space, and reducing wear on the chessboard surface is still a problem to be solved. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a foldable chessboard box which has a simple structure, is easy to carry, can save storage space, can hide the chessboard surface in the chessboard box, and can properly protect the chessboard surface.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a foldable chessboard box, which comprises:

[0007] A first upper cover, a plane of which is provided with a chessboard pattern;

[0008] a second upper cover, a plane of which is provided with another chessboard pattern relative to the chessboard pattern of the first upper cover, and the second upper cover is relatively connected to the first upper cover by a hinged portion, so that the second upper cover and the first upper cover are in a relatively open and cooperative state;

[0009] A box body, with an opening on the top and a containing space inside, and the box body is relatively connected to the second upper cover by a second hinge part, so that the second upper cover and the box body are in an open and cooperative state; and

[0010] When the first upper cover is pivoted upward relative to the second upper cover to a position that is horizontal with the second upper cover, the chessboard patterns of the first upper cover and the second upper cover form a chessboard surface that corresponds to each other.

[0011] A handle is pivotally provided on the top surface of the first upper cover, the chessboard pattern is arranged on the back of the first upper cover, and when the first upper cover is pivoted to a position horizontal to the second upper cover, the handle can be pivoted to a position vertical to the desktop.

[0012] Wherein, the first upper cover is provided with a buckling portion on the other side relative to the hinge portion, and the second upper cover is provided with a relative buckling portion on the same side relative to the buckling portion.

[0013] Wherein, a second buckling portion is arranged on the other side of the second upper cover relative to the second hinged portion, and a second relative buckling portion is arranged on the same side of the box body relative to the second buckling portion.

[0014] The accommodating space inside the box body is provided with at least one partition plate so that the accommodating space is formed with at least two partition areas.

[0015] Among them, it also includes at least two chess piece accommodating chambers, which can be detachably arranged in the accommodating space inside the box body.

[0016] Among them, the second upper cover is provided with a protrusion on one side relative to the other side of the other chessboard pattern, and a third hinged portion is provided on the top surface of the protrusion, which is relatively opened and cooperated with one side of a chessboard plate, so that the chessboard plate can be relatively opened and cooperated with the third hinged portion.

[0017] Among them, a fourth hinged part is provided on the other side of the chessboard relative to the third hinged part, which is in a relatively open and cooperative state with one side of a second chessboard, so that the chessboard and the second chessboard are in a relatively open and cooperative state.

[0018] The handle is pivotally disposed in a groove formed on the top surface of the first upper cover, and after the handle is pivoted to a position that is horizontal to the groove, the handle is flatly stored in the groove.

[0019] The second chessboard can be pivoted to a position that is horizontal with the chessboard, so that the chessboard and the second chessboard can form another chessboard surface corresponding to each other.

[0020] When the chessboard box of the present invention is used, the second upper cover is first pivoted upward relative to the box body to take out the chess pieces from the inside of the box body, and then the first upper cover is pivoted upward relative to the second upper cover to a position that is horizontal with the second upper cover, so that the chessboard patterns on the two upper covers form a chessboard surface corresponding to each other, and the user can then play chess. In addition, the user can also pivot the handle to a position that is perpendicular to the tabletop, so that the handle serves as a vertical support column for the first upper cover.

[0021] The foldable chessboard box provided by the present invention can conceal the chessboard surface inside the chessboard box, thereby properly protecting the chessboard surface, and the chess pieces can not only be properly stored, but also will not cause wear to the chessboard surface. Moreover, compared with the existing chessboard set, the present invention is only composed of a first upper cover and a second upper cover that can be in a relatively open and movable state, and a second upper cover and a box body that can also be in a relatively open and movable state. Therefore, the chessboard box proposed by the present invention is not only simple in structure and easy to carry, but also can achieve the beneficial effect of saving more storage space.
