DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

(7) Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, a collapsible storage box structure of the present invention includes a box body 1 having a upper opening and a bottom plate 2 in combination with the box body, where the box body 1 is made of soft cloth, and the opening of the box body 1 is surrounded with a frame 11. Furthermore, the two sides of the box body are respectively covered with a hard side plate 12, 13. In the embodiment, the frame 11 is made of metal and placed on the opening of the box body 1, covered with a soft cloth and then sewn and fixed to the box body 1 (sewn to the box body 1 after the edge of the soft cloth is covered on the frame 11). Furthermore, the two side plates 12 and 13 respectively are a hard paper plate or plastic plate; the two side plates 12, 13 are placed on the two sides of the box body 1, and then sewn and fixed to the box body 1 after a piece of soft cloth is covered on each of them.

(8) The bottom plate 2 is made of a hard material covered with soft cloth, and the center of the bottom face thereof is in connection with the bottom of the box body 1 in a straight line shape. In the embodiment, the bottom plate 2 is made of a hard paper plate or plastic plate, and sewn and fixed to the box body 1 after covered entirely with a soft cloth. Thereafter, the center of the bottom face of the soft cloth is sewn and connected to the bottom of the box body 1 in a straight line shape.

(9) With the combination of the above components, a collapsible storage box structure is formed. Upon use, the bottom plate 2 is pressed downward to make it stay close to the bottom of the box body 1, and the two lateral sides thereof are used to prop against the lower edges of the two side plates 12, 13. Thus, the entire structure is held open to form a storage box; and while not in use, the bottom plate 2 is pulled upward to make the two side plates 12, 13 to be folded inward the center thereof, and the two side plates 12, 13 and bottom plate 2 are then folded and stacked together to from a flat body so as to facilitate carrying and collecting.

(10) Referring to FIG. 4, the entire storage box of the present invention can be folded and stacked together while not in use; when folded to collect, the bottom plate 2 of the storage box is pulled upward, and the bottom of the box body 1 will also be pulled upward with the bottom plate 2, allowing the bottom edges of the side plates 12, 13 configured on the two sides of the box body 1 are relatively respectively pulled inward since the center of the bottom face of the bottom plate 2 is in connection with the bottom of the box body 1 in a straight line shape.

(11) Referring to FIG. 5, the bottom edges of the side plates 12, 13 configured on the two sides of the box body 1 are respectively pulled inward when the bottom plate 2 of the present invention is pulled upward, one of the side plates 12, 13, here, the side plate 12, will be stacked on the bottom edge of the bottom plate 2 after the bottom plate 2 is pulled up to a certain height and the other side plate 13 will then be stacked on the side plate 12, allowing the entire storage box to be folded and stacked into a flat-shaped body, thereby facilitating carrying, transportation and collecting.

(12) Referring to FIGS. 4 to 6, the side plates 12, 13 are respectively caused to stacked on the upper side of the bottom plate 2 after the bottom plate 2 is pulled upward when the storage box of the present invention is folded up, and the longitudinal soft cloth pieces of the box body 1 will be compressed; the soft cloth pieces compressed out may be folded inward to keep the folded storage box in a flat shape.

(13) Referring to FIG. 7, the two side plates 12, 13 are respectively stacked on the bottom plate 2 after the storage box of the present invention is folded up and stacked together, allowing the entire storage body to be formed into a flat body, facilitating collecting without occupying space and being convenient for carrying and transportation.
