Description

The present invention relates to toolboxes.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a tool box that is housed inside a wheel of a spare tire mounted on a vehicle is known, for example, as described in Patent Documents 1 and 2 below. Tools such as a jack, a screwdriver, and a spanner are stored in the toolbox. Since such tool boxes are provided inside the wheels, there is a limited space for storing tools.

Therefore, for example, in the configuration described in Patent Document 1, among these tools, an elongated tool (elongated tool) such as a jack is housed in a central space (a space passing through the center of the tool housing space of the tool box). ing.
Further, for example, Patent Literature 2 discloses a tool box in which a tool such as a jack is stored while being inclined with respect to a horizontal plane. As a result, compared with the case where the tool is stored in parallel with the horizontal plane, it is possible to easily increase the length of the tool that can be stored.

By the way, for example, in the case of a vehicle such as an SUV (Sport Utility Vehicle) having a large vehicle weight and a high vehicle height, a large jack is required to lift the vehicle body. Such jacks may not fit in a toolbox housed inside the spare tire wheel. For example, even if the jack is stored at an angle as in the configuration disclosed in Patent Document 2, part of the jack protrudes upward from the tool box, and other items interfere with the jack and are damaged. It is possible.

The present invention has been made in view of the circumstances described above, and is a tool that can accommodate tools such as large jacks well and suppress interference with other articles. Intended to provide a box.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention proposes the following means.
A tool box according to the present invention includes a main body that is housed in a tire that is mounted on a vehicle with the recessed portion of the wheel facing upward, and a main body that is provided on the upper surface of the main body and is arranged in a first direction when viewed from the top of the main body. and a projecting portion provided on the upper surface of the main body portion and sandwiching the first recess in a second direction intersecting the first direction when viewed from the top.

The protrusions sandwich the first recess in the second direction. Accordingly, even if the tool housed in the first recess protrudes from the first recess in the first direction, the protrusions are positioned on both sides of the tool in the second direction, and the tool is protected by the protrusions. Therefore, even with a large jack or the like, tools can be well accommodated and interference with other articles can be suppressed.

A bottom surface of a first portion of the first recess located on the first side in the first direction with respect to the central portion in the first direction is located on the second side in the first direction with respect to the central portion. It may be higher than the bottom surface of the second portion.

In the first recess, the bottom surface of the first portion is higher than the bottom surface of the second portion. When the tool housed in the first recess is supported by the bottom surface of the first portion and the bottom surface of the second portion, the tool tilts such that the first side is higher than the second side in the first direction. As a result, the dimension required for housing the tool in the first direction of the first recess can be reduced. Also, the tool is housed in the first recess while being inclined such that the second side is lower than the first side in the first direction. As a result, the center of gravity of the tool box containing the tools can be lowered.

The projecting portion may sandwich the first portion in the second direction.

The projecting portion sandwiches the first portion in the second direction. When the tool is accommodated in the first recess and the tool inclined so that the first side in the first direction is higher protrudes upward from the first portion of the first recess, the portion of the tool protruding from the first portion Projections are located on both sides of the second direction to protect the tool. As a result, it is possible to prevent other articles from interfering with the tool projecting upward from the first recess.

The protruding portion may protrude from the main body portion toward the first side.

The protrusion protrudes from the main body to the first side. Therefore, even if the tool protrudes from the first concave portion to the first side, it is protected by the protruding portion.

A pair of the protrusions may be provided to sandwich the first recess in the second direction, and the pair of protrusions may be disconnected from each other.

The pair of protrusions are not connected to each other. When the pair of projecting portions are connected, the connecting portion between the pair of projecting portions may interfere with the tool, for example, when the tool is inserted into or removed from the first recess. On the other hand, by not connecting the pair of projecting portions to each other, the portion connecting the pair of projecting portions does not interfere with the tool when the tool is inserted into or removed from the first recess, and the tool can be smoothly inserted and removed. can be done.

The tire may further include a regulating portion that is provided on the main body and that regulates rotation of the main body about the axis of the tire.

The restricting portion restricts the main body from rotating around the axis of the tire. This prevents the toolbox from rotating around the axis of the tire. Therefore, it is possible to prevent interference between tools and other articles in the toolbox.

A bottom surface of a first portion of the first recess located on the first side in the first direction with respect to the central portion in the first direction is located on the second side in the first direction with respect to the central portion. It may be higher than the bottom surface of the second portion, and the restricting portion may be provided on the second side with respect to the body portion.

The restricting portion is provided on the second side with respect to the body portion. Thereby, even if the tool protrudes from the first concave portion on the first side in the first direction, the tool is prevented from interfering with the restricting portion.

The first direction may be the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.

The first direction is the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. Thereby, the tool housed in the first recess extends in the front-rear direction of the vehicle. For example, even if the vehicle turns in the left-right direction and changes direction, the tool housed in the first recess can be stably fixed so as not to move in the left-right direction.

A bottom surface of a first portion of the first recess located on the first side in the first direction with respect to the central portion in the first direction is located on the second side in the first direction with respect to the central portion. The first side may be forward of the vehicle and the second side may be rearward of the vehicle, higher than the bottom surface of the second portion.

A first portion of the first recess located forward of the vehicle has a bottom surface higher than a bottom surface of a second portion located rearward of the vehicle. When the tool is accommodated in the first recess, the tool tilts so that the front of the vehicle is higher than the rear. As a result, the tool housed in the first recess can be reduced in size in the first direction for housing the tool. Also, the tool is stored in the first recess while being inclined so that the rear of the vehicle is lower than the front of the vehicle. When removing the tool from the first recess, the tool can be held in front of the vehicle and pulled to the rear of the vehicle. Therefore, it is possible to easily insert and remove the tool.

ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, even if it is a large-sized jack etc., tools can be accommodated favorably and interference with other articles|goods can be suppressed.
