Abstract

A protecting case comprises an upper protecting element and a lower protecting element that are both in the form of a hollow frame. The upper protecting element is shaped and sized to be closely fitted on an upper portion of a to-be-protected product while the lower protecting element is shaped and sized to be closely fitted on a lower portion of the to-be-protected product. The upper protecting element is formed with an upper engaging portion and a groove, and the lower protecting element being formed with a lower engaging portion and a rib. The upper protecting element is engaged on the upper portion of the to-be-protected product through the upper engaging portion. The lower protecting element is engaged on the lower portion of the to-be-protected product through the lower engaging portion. The upper and the lower protecting elements are engaged to each other through the groove and the rib.

Claims

1. A protecting case comprising:

an upper protecting element the form of a hollow frame including a rectangular upper engaging portion around a top thereof in such a manner that a top opening of the upper protecting element is smaller than a bottom opening of the upper protecting element, adjacent to the bottom opening of the upper protecting element being annularly provided a groove around an inner periphery of the upper protecting element, the upper protecting element being engaged on a to-be-protected product through the bottom opening of the upper protecting element in such a manner that the upper engaging portion of the upper protecting element is closely fitted on a top outer periphery of the to-be-protected product; and

a lower protecting element in the form of a hollow frame including a rectangular lower engaging portion around a bottom thereof in such a manner that a bottom opening of the lower protecting element is smaller than a top opening of the lower protecting element, adjacent to the top opening of the lower protecting element being annularly provided a rib protruding from an outer periphery of the lower protecting element, the lower protecting element being engaged at a bottom of the to-be-protected product through the top opening of the lower protecting element in such a manner that the lower engaging portion of the lower protecting element is engaged on a bottom outer periphery of the to-be-protected product while the rib is engaged into the groove of the upper protecting element.

2. The protecting case as claimed in claim 1, wherein the upper engaging portion of the upper protecting element is formed with a stepped frame body around the top thereof, the frame body has an arc surface to be fitted on an arc surface formed on a top circumference of an upper portion of the to-be-protected product.
