Detailed Implementation

[0026] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] As shown in Figures 1-8, a footstool with storage function includes a stool body 1, a stool surface 2 on the upper end of the stool body 1, support parts 3 formed on both sides of the lower end of the stool body 1, stool legs 4 installed at the lower end of the support parts 3, a storage box 5 for storing items installed between the two stool legs 4, sliding parts 6 formed on both side walls of the storage box 5, a sliding groove 7 formed on the inner side of the stool legs 4 for the sliding parts 6 to slide, a limiting wall 8 provided on the rear side of the sliding groove 7, an opening 9 provided on the front side of the sliding groove 7, an upper abutment part 10 provided on the upper side of the sliding groove 7, and a lower abutment part 11 provided on the lower side of the sliding groove 7.

[0028] This utility model's multifunctional footstool not only provides leg support during toilet activities, but also, through the design of the storage box 5, can store garbage bags, tissues, and other items inside, thus achieving a storage effect and enhancing its functionality.

[0029] During the installation process, the stool legs 4 are first inserted into the lower two sides of the stool body 1, and then the storage box 5 is inserted into the slide groove 7 through the sliding part 6 to achieve the overall assembly. This structure is easy to assemble and disassemble, and is simple to manufacture and has a low cost, so it is suitable for mass production.

[0030] The upper end face of the sliding part 6 is provided with a limit buckle 12, and the lower end face of the upper abutment part 10 is provided with a limit block 13. When the storage box 5 is pulled out, the movement of the limit buckle 12 can be restricted by the limit block, thereby preventing the storage box 5 from falling out.

[0031] One end of the limiting buckle 12 is connected to the deformation part 14, and the outer periphery of the limiting buckle 12 is provided with an elastic hole 15. When the storage box 5 is installed, the limiting buckle 12 is released to the limiting block 13, and can deform through the deformation part 14 and the elastic hole 15, so as to be smoothly installed into the slide groove 7.

[0032] The storage box 5 has a handle groove 16 on its lower end face to facilitate pulling out and moving the storage box 5.

[0033] The lower end face of the stool leg 4 is provided with an installation groove 17 for installing an anti-slip pad, which increases the friction between the stool and the ground and prevents slipping.

[0034] One side of the stool body 1 is formed with a concave arc surface 18 that fits into the toilet, thereby making full use of the space below the front side of the toilet and reducing the space occupied.

[0035] The upper end face of the stool leg 4 is formed with a mounting part 19, and the lower end face of the support part 3 is provided with a mounting port 20 for the mounting part 19 to be inserted, thereby realizing the connection between the stool leg 4 and the support part 3.

[0036] The inner wall of the mounting port 20 is formed with several reinforcing plates 21 to improve the stability of the support part 3 structure. The end face of the mounting part 19 is formed with several limiting grooves 22 for the reinforcing plates 21 to be engaged. After the stool leg 4 is inserted into the support part 3, it is engaged in the limiting grooves 22 by the reinforcing plates 21, which further enhances the tightness of the connection between the two.

[0037] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
