A computer housing includes a frame and a face panel. The frame includes a plurality of pivotally interconnected frame panels such that the frame is convertible between an assembled state and a flattened state. In the assembled state, the frame panels form a rectangular frame for mounting electronic components, such as a motherboard, a disk drive and a hard disk. In the flattened state, the frame can be flattened out so that the frame panels lie in substantially the same plane, thereby reducing the space occupied by the frame.

A computer housing includes a foldable frame and a face panel. The frame is disposed for mounting a motherboard, an optical disk drive, and a power supply, and includes two first housing panels and two second housing panels that are connected pivotally and surroundingly as a whole. The frame is foldable into a folded state, where the first and second housing panels are turned pivotally to be proximate to each other so as to reduce the size of the frame, as well as the space and material required for packaging the frame, thereby saving costs of transport and packaging material.

A single-piece packaging plate foldable to form boxes having different sizes is provided for a product having a variable size. The packaging plate has an elongated plate portion, two side plate portions and two wing portions. The elongated plate portion has a plurality of parallel and spaced-apart preformed fold lines. The side plate portions extend outward from two sides of the elongated portion, and have fold lines at the junctures thereof. The two wing portions can be torn or cut out optionally. Each wing portion has a main wing extending from two sides of an area between sixth and seventh fold lines of the elongated plate portion. The packaging plate is foldable along the fold lines to form a unit body-packaging box or a system-packaging box.

A paperboard includes a rectangular main portion, and first and second foldable extension parts respectively extending from four sides of the main portion. The main portion is divided by fold lines to form a first region and two second regions on two sides of the first region. The paperboard is foldable to form a first packaging configuration in which a four-sided surrounding wall extends upright from the first region, or a second packaging configuration in which one side of the four-sided surrounding wall is unfolded. A plurality of soft plates are respectively provided on the first region, and four sides of the surrounding wall for cushioning purposes.

A dually foldable host unit case for a computer includes a first plate member, an upper cover member, a lower cover, a front wall and a rear wall. The first plate member pivotally connects with the upper cover, the lower cover, the front wall and the rear wall respectively. The preceding parts are capable of being folded to allow the host unit case being reduced volume thereof while packaging and capable of being extended to allow the second lateral sides of the front and rear walls and the second lateral sides of the upper and lower covers are pivotally connected for setting up the host unit case conveniently and quickly.

A packaging cushion assembly includes at least one foldable packaging plate including a base plate that has two opposite first sides, two opposite second sides, two opposite first side plates connected respectively and foldably to the first sides, and two opposite second side plates connected respectively and foldably to the second sides. Each of the first and second side plates has an outer wall plate section connected foldably to the respective first or second side, a spacer plate section connected foldably to the outer wall plate section, and an inner wall plate section connected foldably to the spacer plate section. The outer wall plate section of each second side plate has two connecting plates respectively and foldably connected to two ends thereof.

A host unit case with foldable front and rear walls and lower cover for a computer includes a front wall, a rear wall, an upper cover and a lower cover. The lower end of the front wall connects with the front end of the lower cover. The lower end of rear wall pivotally connects with the rear end of the lower cover. Hence, the lower cover, the front wall and the rear wall are unfolded to allow the lower cover engaging with upper end of the front wall and upper end of the rear wall for the host unit case being set up as a complete form quickly and being folded parts thereof to reduce the volume thereof conveniently.

A foldable host unit case for a computer with dual crossover pivotal mechanisms includes a first module body and a second module body. The first module body and the second module body pivotally connect with each other at the middles thereof. The first module body has a foldable front wall and the second module body has a foldable rear wall. The first module body and the second module body can extend toward both lateral sides thereof respectively with respect to a rotational center formed with a pivotal shaft and the front wall and the rear wall are bent to form a firm structure. Hence, the host unit case is capable of being extended conveniently and quickly and being folded conveniently to reduce the volume thereof during being packaged.

In a packaging cushion device, a base member has a base wall, and first and second sidewalls respectively perpendicular to two adjacent edges of the base wall. The base wall and first and second sidewalls define a receiving portion. A modular component has a base panel, two adjacent first and second side panels perpendicular to the base panel, a first projection extending from the first and second side panels, and a second projection extending from the base panel and the second panel. The first and second projections are matchable with and connectable to the receiving portion to form two interchangeable configurations of different heights, thereby satisfying the need of packing a computer housing in either folded or unfolded configuration, and saving packing materials.
