About Car Box Kofra Stokujo

Libroteksto: Aŭtokesto estas faldebla stokujo dizajnita por la kofro de aŭto. La trapezforma strukturo sekvas la angulon de proksimume 80 gradoj de la malantaŭaj sidlokoj, tiel ke la kesto adaptiĝas al la kofro kaj uzas spacon kiu ofte restas malplena. Baskula kovrilo estas tenata per forta magneto, kiu permesas al la pasaĝeroj sur la malantaŭaj sidlokoj atingi stokitajn objektojn dum veturado. La korpo estas farita el ekspandita polipropileno, malpeza ŝaŭma plasto kiu rezistas al efikoj kaj estas ricikligebla. Faldeblaj kejloj ĉe ĉiu flanko ebligas munton aŭ faldadon ene de kvin sekundoj sen iloj.

Unique Properties: A title angle about 80° of the rear seats of SUV causes a waste of some space when the vehicle storage box for trunk is used. User’s experience may be compromised by tumbling box on bump roads, because the box cannot fit to the vehicle.
This trunk storage box is specially designed in a trapezoidal shape to fit the angle of rear seats and maximizes the use of space in trunk.
The box opened with magnetic and flip-down lid fits more car models and make it easier for rear seat occupants to access the desired articles while driving.
Dimensions & Packaging: When used: 65cm*30cm*34cm
When folded: 65cm*34cm*10cm
Weight: 998g
Its handling and assembly are friendly to female users

Production Technology: EPP, the abbreviated term of Expanded polypropylene, is a short name for new foamed plastic. The unique properties render it available as a fast-growing, eco-friendly new cushioning and insulation material that can be recycled and reused. It has been extensively used in car bumpers and bumper guard linings, as well as in a growing number of innovative products such as mother and baby products, safety seats, children's furnishings.
Design Challenge: We are motivated to identify the neglected zones, make these zones more user-friendly and serve the needs of car owners at different ages. This product is required to be light, portable and easily assembled with perceived safety. As a result, we should not follow the veins of traditional storage boxes to design this car product, and how to design against the specific needs of users and make them surprised is considered the biggest challenge.
Research: Chinese car buyers ranging from young to middle-aged and elderly consumers prefer SUV than sedans. We interviewed some car owners and found they chose to buy SUVs for larger space. Despite this, there is still inadequate effective space in car, even if you have sorted out items the box, after driving a while, you have to sort out items again. Understanding these pain points help us modify this work.
Inspiration: As a frequently used storage space, the vehicle storage box for trunk is often perceived not enough for use, a factor driving many consumers to prefer buying SUV. Traditional storage box cannot adapt to the owners’ needs in all aspects and disregard the influence of the interior space. We are inspired to make use of the neglected space and impact-resistant materials, delivering a better experience to user.
Project Duration: The project was conceived in Shanghai in June 2022
entered the design phase in Hangzhou in August 2022.
entered the volume production in Changzhou in March 2023
and scheduled to be available for online sales in April 2023
Operation Flow: Each side is designed with folding clasp, assembled and folded within five seconds without aid. Once folded, little space is occupied, the front lid is opened and closed with a strong magnet, and there is no lock catch. The simple design surprisingly provides a higher level of safety and even in case of danger, user will not be threatened by any impact.
