VEHICLE FENDER STRUCTURE FOR EASY STORAGE AND TRANSPORTATION

Abstract

A vehicle fender structure for easy storage and transportation comprises a plastic molded body and a positioning element. The body is in an arcuate shape and has a surface. The surface is provided thereon with a plurality of protruding parts that are of different sizes for strengthening the body. The surface has two corresponding sides respectively provided with a lateral wall. Each lateral wall is provided with a plurality of partially broken sections, and two sides of each partially broken section are respectively formed with a positioning part. In this way, when the body is pressed downwardly, the partially broken section is expanded to form a gap, by which the body's height is lowered. The positioning element is used to interconnect the two positioning parts of each partially broken section and enclose the partially broken section of the body when the body's arcuate shape is restored.

Claims

1. A vehicle fender structure for easy storage and transportation, comprising: a plastic molded body, which is in an arcuate shape and has an surface, where the surface is provided thereon with a plurality of protruding parts that are of different sizes for strengthening the plastic molded body, and has two corresponding sides respectively provided with a lateral wall; each lateral wall is provided with a plurality of partially broken sections, and two sides of each partially broken section are respectively formed with a positioning part, so that, when the body is pressed downwardly, the partially broken section is expanded to form a gap, by which the body's height is lowered; and a positioning element, used to interconnect the two positioning parts of each partially broken section, and to enclose the partially broken section of the body when the body's arcuate shape is restored.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0014] Please refer to FIGS. 1-3, which show an embodiment of a vehicle fender structure for easy storage and transportation according to the present invention. The vehicle fender structure comprises a plastic molded body 1 and a positioning element 2.

[0015] The body 1 is in an arcuate shape. The body 1 has a surface provided thereon with a plurality of protruding parts 11 that are of different sizes for strengthening the plastic molded body. The surface of the body 1 has two corresponding sides respectively provided with a lateral wall 12, and each lateral wall 12 is provided with a plurality of partially broken sections 13. Two sides of each partially broken section 13 of the body 1 are respectively formed with a positioning part 131.

[0016] The positioning element 2 is used to interconnect the two positioning parts 131 and to enclose the partially broken section 13 of the body 1 when the body's arcuate shape is restored.

[0017] In implementation, the positioning element 2 is a plate, and the plate has one end fixed to or integrally formed on one positioning part and another end connected to the other positioning part via a locking element 3. Alternately, above two positioning parts 131 also could be interconnected by other means, such as by means of binding them together or adhering them with each other.

[0018] Therefore, during the process of transportation, the height of the body 1 is lowered by pressing the body 1 downwardly to expand the partially broken section 13 to form a gap 14 that is in a V shape. When the vehicle fender structure is purchased by a consumer, the arcuate shape of the body 1 could be easily restored by using the positioning element 2 to interconnect the two positioning parts 131 and enclose the partially broken section 13. After that, the vehicle fender structure with the restored arcuate shape could be mounted by the consumer onto the vehicle.

[0019] By means of the structural design of providing the body 1 with partially broken sections 13, during the process of transportation or of storage before sale, it would be easy to flatten the body 1 by pressing the body 1 downwardly to make the body in a flattened shape instead of the original arcuate shape, so as to significantly reduce the space (especially in height) required to hold it. Therefore, under similar conditions, more products could be transported and stored. For a consumer, it is also easy to restore the arcuate shape of the body by using the positioning element 2 to enclose the partially broken section 13 for further mounting it onto the consumer's vehicle.

[0020] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail, many modifications and variations may be made by those skilled in the art from the teachings disclosed hereinabove. Therefore, it should be understood that any modification and variation equivalent to the spirit of the present invention be regarded to fall into the scope defined by the appended claims.

[0021] In conclusion, according to above-disclosed descriptions, the present invention achieves the expected object to provide a vehicle fender structure for easy storage and transportation. It is novel and has industrial use.
