The present invention relates to a Laundry container including a cover body, a waterproof shade, a base seat, an upper frame, two support plate assemblies and two fixing beams. The upper frame and base seat are supported by the two support plate assemblies and the fixing beams and thus the laundry container has more concrete structure so that even in the case that the laundry container containing heavy weight of laundry is moved, the laundry container will not swing to cause detachment of the base seat from the support plate assemblies.
FIG. 1 shows a conventional laundry container including a base seat 10, an upper frame 20, a cover body 30, four support columns 40 and a waterproof shade 50. The base seat 10 has an upward projecting periphery 11 and four projections 12 on four corners, which are arranged by an angle of 45 degrees. The upper frame 20 has a downward projecting periphery 21, an inward extending flange 22 and four projections 23 on four corners, which are arranged by an angle of 45 degrees. The cover body 30 is pivotally connected with a rear edge of the upper frame 20. Each support column 40 has a semi-circular cross-section. The upper periphery of the waterproof shade 50 is secured on the periphery of the upper frame 20 and the lower periphery of the waterproof shade 50 is secured on the periphery of the base seat 10.
Please refer to FIG. 2. When assembled, the lower ends of the four support columns 40 are inserted between the four projections 12 and the four corners of the base seat 10 and the upper ends of the support columns 40 are inserted between the projections 23 and four corners of the upper frame 20 so as to stretch the waterproof shade 50 and complete the assembly.
According to such arrangements, the conventional laundry container has several shortcomings as follows:
1. The laundry container is only supported by four support columns 40 and wrapped by the waterproof shade 50 so that the structural strength is of the laundry container is quite weak and the laundry container is apt to swing.
2. The upper and lower ends of the support columns 40 are engaged with the upper frame 20 and the base seat 10 only by insertion without other reinforcing structure. Therefore, in the case that the laundry container containing heavy weight of laundry is moved, the base seat 10 is apt to detach from the support columns 40 to lead to collapse of the laundry container.
