The specific embodiment

[0019] refer now to by way of example but not the accompanying drawing that limiting mode provided, it has shown according to a kind of boxes assembly of the present invention.In a particular embodiment, the invention process is a tool box that has display and preservation feature simultaneously.This tool box is still made by light and durable material, and this makes it have portable performance and longer product life.

[0020], wherein shown the tool box of implementing some aspects of the present invention specifically with reference to figure 1-7.One specific aspect, tool box 50 has comprised casing, it comprises a frame 52 and an opposite house 54.This casing also comprises top end part 56, bottom part 58 (see figure 6)s, rear side 60 (see figure 5)s and pair of sidewalls 62.Each element all can be made by the plastics that are fit to, and these plastics have durability and impregnability.

[0021] although can imagine various embodiments, In a particular embodiment, top end part 56 and bottom part 58 can be configured to provide surface roughly parallel to each other.Same, sidewall 62 also can be configured to parallel relation.Further, sidewall 62 is roughly orthogonal with top end part 56 and bottom part 58.The rear side 60 of frame 52 roughly is the plane, its determined one roughly with the perpendicular surface of sidewall 62.

[0022] frame 52 also can comprise the structure that can match with door 54, be equipped with circular front surface for tool box 50.In top end part 56 and the bottom part 58 each has all comprised a sweep 70, and it has extended the width (seeing the most clearly among Fig. 1,3 and 6) in tool box 50.This sweep 70 can be any shape, but in the embodiment of an imagination, sweep 70 may be defined as the part of one section arc.Bigger tool box and less tool box can comprise respectively than the sweep of larger radius of curvature or than the sweep of small curvature radius.

[0023] handle 72 can be mounted to top end part 56, and this handle 72 is positioned conveniently to hold the position in tool box 50, finally is used to transport tool box 50.And handle 72 rotatably is attached to top end part 56.What top end part 56 further had been assembled essentially rectangular is positioned at its central groove 74 (seeing Fig. 1 and 3).Thereby and select the degree of depth of this groove 74 to be placed in the groove 74 rotatable handles 72 is folding.

[0024] rear side 60 further comprises some structural elements.Specifically, extended protrusion of a plurality of rear sides or boss 80 have wherein been shown from general planar with reference to figure 5 and Fig. 6.Protrusion or boss 80 can have multi-form shape.In one embodiment, this boss 80 is lobes, when it is placed on the rear side 60 at tool box 50 on even keels, for this tool box provides support.

[0025] rear side 60 has also assembled one or more than one mounting structure 82.Under a specific shape, this mounting structure 82 comprises the slotted eye that is used to hold nail or other fastener.Like this, this mounting structure 82 has been equipped with such device for tool box 50: this device is used for tool box 50 is suspended on a vertical plane or hook or other element, and hook wherein and other element can extend from for example shelf or showing stand by on even keel.Because the bottom part 58 in tool box 50 is general planar, so tool box 50 also can be deposited by bottom part 58 with being straightened.

[0026] the most clearly see Fig. 1, door 54 has a circular contour that matches with the circular portion 70 of top end part 56 and bottom part 58.As described, the circular portion 70 of top end part 56 and bottom part 58 can adopt the different piece of one section arc, and can realize with any suitable radius of curvature.In a preferred embodiment, door 54 will have the radius of curvature value that matches each other, and above-mentioned radius of curvature value also matches with the radius of curvature value of described circular portion 70.Yet it also is possible that door 54 and circular portion 70 have the curved profile that can not cooperatively interact.

[0027] every Yishanmen 54 all is shown as and is stretched over tool box 50 approximately half width.But will be appreciated that also tool box 50 according to the present invention also can be envisioned for following device: the door that this device has may be independent door of a fan or multiple leaf door, this width can be less than or greater than the half width in tool box 50.In a preferred embodiment, door 54 is by translucent or transparent material is made, but also can also use opaque material.At door is under the situation about can be seen through, and can obtain the inventory in the tool box 50.This translucent or transparent door 54 also provides a kind of device that is used for displaying the article of tool box device 50.

[0028] specifically with reference to figure 1 and Fig. 7, door 54 can rotate relative to frame 52.Although can expect various traditional methods, each door 54 can be attached on a pair of hinged joint 88.Fan in the door 54 also can comprise jut 90, and it is positioned on the position of conveniently holding.This jut 90 can be positioned at the binding site place that door 54 converges mutually.Yishanmen 54 can comprise otch (cut-out) 92 in addition, and its size is corresponding to described jut 90.

[0029] in addition, tool box 50 can comprise one or more than one the latch that is used for door 54 is locked onto off position.First latch 92 is placed in an end of the sweep 70 of top end part 56; Second latch 94 similarly is placed in the sweep 70 of bottom part 58.In a preferred embodiment, described

latch

92,94 is in the middle of 50 width is placed on along the tool box, and this position can be at the two fan doors of locking simultaneously under the configuration of closing of door.

[0030] when door 54 is opened, people can observe tool box 50 in-to-in situations.Also can pass by door 54 translucent or that transparent material is made and see this inside.One fixedly insert 96 be placed on the inside in tool box 50.Should be fixedly insert 96 can be the molded element of frame 52, also independent, be attached to the element on the frame 52.

[0031] fixedly insert 96 comprises a plurality of being used for fixing and the structure of display instrument or other article.Holding device 98 has fixed surface 100 at interval, and it can be placed or form in fixedly each position of insert 96.Same, cyclic structure 102 and various well or groove 104 also can form in fixedly among the insert 96.Described holding device 98, cyclic structure 102 and well or groove 104 can have multi-form shape and position, thus any have be appropriate to tool box 50 sizes, can all can be stored in wherein by conceivable instrument.

[0032] in a certain embodiments, fixedly insert 96 corresponding to the curvature of door 54 outcurve or outer bow.That is, fixedly insert 96 has basic curvature, and groove can be formed therein, and perhaps ring or holding device can be formed in wherein and extend.In this way, instrument or other article that are stored in the tool box 50 can be displayed and more easily be taken preferably.

[0033] as described, tool box of the present invention may have various sizes and crooked or smooth configuration.Disclosed various configuration can situation according to the present invention be implemented, the present invention can provide a kind of or more than a kind of, have the practical display and a simple and easy portable unit of retention.In addition, disclosed tool box can be stored in the substrate of mounting structure or general planar vertically, and disclosed tool box also can utilize the support of extension from its rear surface, and is stored by on even keel.

[0034] in addition,, therefore it is evident that, can carry out multiple improvement without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention because particular forms more of the present invention are illustrated and describe.Therefore, this specification sheets has no intention to limit the present invention, and the present invention only is subject to appended claim or in the future based on claim that present disclosure was appended.
