Toy Storage Box Cover With Tilted Display Support
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing storage boxes for assembled toys lack the ability to display assembly patterns, leading to reduced assembly efficiency due to frequent handling for pattern reference.
Innovation Solution
A storage box design featuring a housing with an accommodating groove, a box cover with a limiting slot and supporting structure that allows the box to be tilted, displaying the assembly pattern while preventing scattering and falling.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the storage box is used for storing assembled toys, then the toys are kept organized and protected, but the user cannot view the assembly pattern without repeatedly picking up the box, reducing assembly efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The box cover is designed with a supporting structure that includes an inclined supporting portion, allowing the box to transition from a horizontal storage position to an inclined display position. This dynamic positioning enables the box to serve dual functions: storing toys horizontally and displaying assembly patterns when tilted, eliminating the need for repeated pickup and improving assembly efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The box cover is designed to perform multiple functions: it protects the stored toys, provides a supporting structure for tilting the box, and enables the display of assembly patterns. The integrated supporting portion and limiting slot allow the same component to facilitate both storage and display functions, improving ease of operation without adding separate devices
2Ease of operation
If the box is tilted to display the assembly pattern, then viewing convenience is improved, but the box may become unstable and the toys may scatter or fall
Solution Approach 1:
The supporting structure acts as an intermediary between the box and the supporting surface. The inclined supporting portion provides a stable resting point when the box is tilted, while the limiting slot engages with the supporting surface to prevent excessive movement. This intermediary structure enables stable tilting for display while preventing scattering and falling of toys
Solution Approach 2:
The supporting structure is designed with asymmetric features: the inclined supporting portion is positioned at a specific angle and location to provide stable support when tilted, while the limiting slot is positioned to engage with the supporting surface in a way that prevents over-tilting. This asymmetric design creates stable equilibrium positions for both horizontal storage and inclined display

AI summary
A storage box for assembled toys includes a housing, a box cover covering the housing, and a supporting structure. The housing defines a first accommodating groove for accommodating assembled toys. The box cover includes a first plate and a first side plate provided on the first plate. The first side plate defines a limiting slot for avoiding the box for assembled toys. The supporting structure is provided on the first plate and is spaced apart from the first side plate. The supporting structure is provided with a supporting portion inclined to the horizontal plane. The supporting portion is arranged opposite to the limiting slot. The supporting portion is configured for abutting against a side wall of the box for assembled toys so that the box for assembled toys is obliquely placed.
