ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a wardrobe for holding clothes and. more particularly, to a combination wardrobe provided with a replaceable door structure.
2. Description of the Related Art
Conventional wardrobes are commonly made of wooden material. There are portable wardrobes comprised of a metal wardrobe frame and a covering of plastic sheet material covering the metal wardrobe frame. These portable wardrobes commonly use a zipper fastener for operation by hand to close/open the front door. However, because the two opposite door panels of the covering of plastic sheet material have a respective bottom side coupled to the zip fastener, the front door is not fully opened when unfastened the zipper fastener. In order to eliminate this problem, a sliding door structure may be used. However, a sliding door structure for wardrobe is expensive to manufacture. Furthermore, when installed in a wardrobe, the sliding door is not detachable for a replacement.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention has been accomplished under the circumstances in view. It is one object of the present invention to provide a combination wardrobe, which is equipped with a detachable door structure so that the user can change the design of the door panels easily as desired. It is another object of the present invention to provide a combination wardrobe, which is equipped with a detachable door structure that can easily be controlled to fully open the front opening of the wardrobe body. To achieve these and other objects of the present invention, the combination wardrobe comprises a wardrobe body having a front opening, and a double-panel door structure controlled to close/open the front opening of the wardrobe body. The double-panel door structure comprises a hanging rod transversely suspended from the wardrobe frame of the wardrobe body above the front opening, two flexible door panels respectively hung on the hanging rod by top loops thereof and horizontally moved relative to each other to close/open the front opening, each flexible door panel having a plurality of weights arranged alone the respective bottom side for keeping the respective flexible door panel in shape when extended out to close the front opening of the wardrobe body, and hook and loop materials adapted to secure one lateral side of each door panel to the wardrobe body.
