Each first containing body is disposed in alignment with an edge of the base assembly and does not protrude outward from the edge of the base assembly. The second containing body is pivotally connected with the base assembly and arranged between the first containing bodies. The second containing body is rotatable with respect to the base assembly to protrude outward from the edge of the base assembly. Thus, the present invention is conveniently, efficiently, and easily assembled and providing different storage forms according to different demands.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to cabinets, and more particularly, to a combination cabinet.

2. Description of the Related Art

There are a variety of cabinets on the market. For different items, the cabinets are also divided into different size, height or containing space. Therefore, users have to purchase different types of cabinets for storing different types of items.

A conventional cabinet is usually formed in an integral structure. The integrally formed cabinet is sturdy; however, the occupation volume of the cabinet prevents it from being disassembled or having expansions. Therefore, it is inconvenient for the conventional integrally formed cabinet to be transport, and the storage of it consumes relatively large occupation volume.

Although the industry has introduced a type of locker which is assembled according to different demands such as the home space and the size of the to-be-accommodated items, such conventional combination locker is mostly formed of multiple layer plates having the same structure, so as to facilitate the modularization. As a result, the assembled locker only has a single type of storage structure and fails to have changeability.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

To improve the issues above, the present invention discloses a combination cabinet, which is conveniently, efficiently, and easily assembled and providing different storage forms.

For achieving the aforementioned objectives, the present invention provides a combination cabinet, comprising:a base assembly;a plurality of first containing bodies removably connected with the base assembly, each first containing body disposed in alignment with an edge of the base assembly and not protruding outward from the edge of the base assembly; anda second containing body pivotally connected with the base assembly and arranged between the first containing bodies, the second containing body being rotatable with respect to the base assembly to protrude outward from the edge of the base assembly.

With the combination of a plurality of first containing bodies and the second containing body, the present invention is conveniently, efficiently, and easily assembled and providing different storage forms according to different demands. Therefore, the present invention improves the issue of conventional integral cabinets being difficult to be stored and occupying relatively large volume. Also, the present invention improves the issues of conventional combination locker providing only a single type of storage form.
