Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a storage box such as a tool box capable of stably storing articles such as tools and parts at predetermined positions.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There are various storage boxes for storing articles such as tools and parts, and the one shown in FIG. 4 is known as a storage box particularly suitable for storing set tools. In this case, the base plate 2 laid inside the box body 1 has a plurality of recesses 4, 4, ... Formed integrally according to the external shape of the set tool 3.
The pressing pad 5 made of foamed resin, which has an upper surface and covers the base plate 2, is housed in the lid 6. The box body 1 and the lid 6 are generally made of steel press-molded products or hard synthetic resin injection-molded products, and the base plate 2 is generally made of foamed polyethylene resin or foamed urethane resin. The lid 6 is connected to the box body 1 via a resin hinge so as to be openable and closable.

In the conventional storage box configured as described above,
The set tool 3 housed in the recesses 4, 4 ... of the base plate 2
Is immovable by being pressed by the pressing pad 5, so that the set tools 3 do not contact each other or the outer case and are not scratched or emit a metallic sound. In addition, it is possible to check at a glance that the set tool 3 has not been stored.

[0004]

However, the base plate 2 is provided in the outer box which is composed of the box body 1 and the lid 6 which is openably and closably connected to the box body 1.
And it is not only necessary to store the pressing pad 5,
Since the outer box is made of metal or hard synthetic resin, considerable cost is required for its molding, finishing and painting, resulting in high total cost.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to obtain a storage box which has a simple structure, is compact and lightweight, and can keep the total cost low without impairing the advantages of the conventional storage boxes described above.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention has a plurality of recesses for accommodating articles such as tools on the plate surface in the opening, and one end along the plate surface. It has a box body made of foamed resin having first and second through holes at the edge and the other end edge, and a projecting surface that can be fitted into the opening of the box body, and corresponds to the first and second through holes. It has a lid body made of foamed resin having third and fourth through holes at positions, and a band having a pair of buckles attached to both side portions, and the bands are the first, second and third bands. And the fourth through hole is inserted to fix the lid to the box body, and the first, second and third through holes have an opening dimension that prevents the buckle from being inserted. There is provided a storage box characterized in that the through hole 4 has an opening dimension that allows the buckle to be inserted therethrough.

[0007]

According to the present invention, both the box body and the lid body that fits with the box body are made of foamed resin, and a plurality of recesses for accommodating articles are provided on the plate surface extending into the opening of the box body. In addition to the conventional outer box, the box body and lid also function as a base plate and a pressing pad. Moreover, not only is it lightweight, but the total cost can be kept low.

The first and second parts provided on the box body
The band inserted through the through hole and the third and fourth through holes provided in the lid body contributes to securing the lid body to the box body. Further, when the lid is opened, one buckle can be detached from the fourth through hole and the lid can be easily opened. On the other hand, the band portion extending over the first through hole and the third through hole is It acts as a kind of hinge for the lid. In other words, when the connection by the pair of buckles is released and one side portion of the band is pulled out from the fourth through hole,
The lid can be removed from the box body, but at this time,
Since the other side portion of the band serves as a hinge across the first and third through holes, the band plays two different roles when the lid is closed and when the lid is opened.

[0009]

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings.

The box body 7 shown in FIG. 1 is an integrally molded product made of foamed polyethylene resin or foamed polypropylene resin, and a plurality of tools can be individually housed on a rectangular plate surface 9 extending in the opening 8. ., The concave portions 10, 10 ... Further, the box body 7 has first and second through holes 11 and 12 at the center of the rear edge and the center of the front edge.
A hole 13 for a handle is provided in the vicinity of the second through hole 12.
