Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a tool box for storing vehicle repair tools in a vehicle such as a long-distance truck.

(Prior Art) As shown in FIG. 4, the tool box 1 used for the above-mentioned purpose is attached to the side of a vehicle, so there is a risk that the tools may rust due to rainwater entering the tool box 1. Therefore, in the conventional vehicle tool box, as shown in FIG. 5, an annular waterproof frame 3 that is bent outward is integrally formed on the outer periphery of the opening 2 of the tool box main body 1a.
Furthermore, an engaging frame portion 4 that loosely fits on the outside of the waterproof frame portion 3 is integrally formed on the opening/closing lid 1b that is attached to the opening portion 2 so as to be openable and closable, and the waterproof frame portion 3 and the engaging frame overlap each other. The portion 4 prevents rainwater from entering the tool box body 1a from the opening 2.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In the conventional vehicle tool box 1 described above, rainwater flowing between the engaging frame portion 4 and the waterproof frame portion 3 is
The water penetrated into the opening 2, and the waterproofness was incomplete.

In view of the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, the present invention aims to provide a vehicle tool box with excellent waterproof properties.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention integrally forms a waterproof frame portion 6a that is bent outward on the periphery of the opening 2 formed in the side surface 7 of the tool box main body 1a. , a vehicle tool box in which an opening/closing lid 1b that is attached to the opening 2 so as to be openable and closable is integrally formed with an engaging frame part 8 that loosely fits on the outside of the waterproof frame part 6a; Further extend the periphery to the side surface 7 of the tool box body 1a.
A waterproof flange portion 6b is integrally formed by bending the waterproof flange portion 6b outward in parallel with the above-mentioned waterproof flange portion 6b. This system adopts the configuration provided in the following.

(Example) Figure 3 shows a vehicle tool box 1 which is an example of the present invention.
The tool box main body 1a and opening/closing lid 1b are formed by bending a stainless steel plate or the like. And the tool box body 1a
As shown in FIG. 1, a gate-shaped waterproof frame portion 6a that is bent outward is integrally formed on the top edge 5a and both side portions 5b and 5c of the periphery of the opening 2. A waterproof flange 6b is integrally formed on the outer peripheral edge of the frame 6a by being bent outward parallel to the side surface 7 of the tool box main body 1a, and the waterproof flange 6b has a cross section of approximately The letter-shaped waterproof frame 6 is inserted into the opening 2.
It is located around the periphery of the Further, an engaging frame portion 8 is integrally formed on the outer peripheral edge of the opening/closing lid 1b, and is bent toward the tool box main body 1a and loosely fitted into the waterproof peripheral frame portion 6. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, rainwater that has passed through the gap between the engagement frame 8 and the side surface 7 of the tool box body 1a and entered the opening/closing lid 1b is collected by the waterproof flange 6b. This prevents them from entering the tool box main body 1a, flows down inside the prevention peripheral frame 3, and is discharged to the outside.

By the way, in the conventional vehicle tool box 1 shown in FIG. 5, the waterproof frame 3 is also provided on the bottom edge 5d of the opening 2, so when the opening/closing lid 1b is opened, the waterproof frame 3 is There has been a problem that rainwater accumulates and the accumulated rainwater flows into the tool box main body 1a, but according to the present invention, the bottom edge 5d of the periphery of the opening 2 is provided with a waterproof frame 6a. Moreover, since no member corresponding to the waterproof flange 6b is provided, and the thickness of the bottom edge 5d in the inside and outside directions of the tool box is made small, when the opening/closing lid 1b is opened, the top of the bottom edge 5d is This eliminates the problem of rainwater accumulating in the rainwater, which eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional technology.

In Fig. 1, 10 indicates the opening/closing lid 1b and the tool box main body 1a.
A hinge 11 is an opening/closing lid fastening fitting which is pivotably attached to the opening/closing lid 1b, and a fitting body 1 attached to the opening/closing lid 1b.
The opening/closing lid 1a is fastened to the opening 2 by engaging the ring 11b of the tool box 1a with a hook 11c fixed to the tool box body 1a. In FIG. 3, 12 is a locking protrusion integrally provided on the side surface 7 of the tool box main body 1a, and 13 is an engagement plate that can be freely engaged with and detached from the protrusion 12 fixed to the opening/closing lid 1a. .

(Effect of the invention) According to the invention, the outer periphery of the waterproof frame integrally formed at the opening of the tool box body is further bent outward parallel to the side surface of the tool box body to integrally form the waterproof flange. ,
A waterproof peripheral frame having a substantially U-shaped cross section is provided at the periphery of the opening by the waterproof frame and the waterproof collar, so that the gap between the engagement frame and the side surface of the tool box body is reduced. Rainwater that has passed through and entered the opening/closing lid is prevented from flowing into the tool box main body by the waterproof flange, and is discharged outside through the waterproof peripheral frame. There is no risk of rainwater getting inside, and it is completely waterproof.
