Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a tool box with a function of an extension cord by leading an electric source by using the extension cord from the tool box and using an outlet furnished on the tool box. SOLUTION: A cord reel 2 used for a vacuum cleaner etc., is fixed in a tool box 1, a plug 3 is taken out of the tool box, and a cover 14 for the plug etc., is provided so that the plug 3 does not enter the tool box 1. It is devised to automatically wind up an extension cord 5 for the plug by a plug cord winding button 6. A fixed outlet leading an electric source from the cord reel 2 is installed in the tool box 1, and it is devised to be used by the electric source led from the plug 3. It is devised possible to change the extension cord by installing a socket for the cord reel on a core of the cord reel and installing a plug for the cord reel to connect to the cord reel installed on the extension cord. Consequently, as it is possible to easily replace a damaged cord or outlet, it is possible to prevent an accident of leakage, short circuit, etc.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a tool box in which an extension cord and a tap are provided in a tool box to obtain power from the tool box, and to a code reel in which cords can be easily replaced.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional tool box is a box for storing tools and leisure goods, and has a function of keeping heat and cooling, or a function of cooling with a battery. Separately, they carried extension cords and cord reels.

[0003]

In the conventional tool box, when a power source is required, a cord reel or extension cord is carried separately from the tool box. Especially when used on a construction site, the tool box and the cord reel are separate. There were many things that were not, and it was dangerous. Also, when the battery of the power tool runs out during work,
Since the charger cannot be placed directly on the floor at the site, there was a problem that work was delayed due to running out of battery at the site.

In addition, extension cords and cord reels used outdoors or at construction sites are difficult to handle,
Frequent use such as attaching and detaching outlets, winding and pulling out cords. In addition, there is a problem that the cord is easily damaged and a trouble such as an electric leakage or a short circuit may be caused because a person walks or a trolley passes on the extension cord.

An object of the present invention is to attach a take-up type code reel and a tap to a tool box, and to provide the tool box with an extension cord function.

[0006] Further, by providing an outlet for connecting an extension cord to the core of the cord reel and providing a plug for connecting to the cord reel on the extension cord side, if the extension cord, tap, plug, etc. is damaged. Another object of the present invention is to make it possible to easily replace an extension cord for a cord reel.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, in a tool box with a cord reel according to the present invention, the tool box is provided with a code reel, and power can be taken from the tool box using an extension cord. Thus, the tap provided in the tool box can be used.

The cord reel may be provided in a tool box and be of an automatic winding type as used in a vacuum cleaner or the like.

Furthermore, if the tap is not fixed to the tool box and the code reel is used in the same manner as the cord reel cord, two code reels are put in the tool box, and when the power is turned off, You can pull the tap at hand without moving the toolbox.

[0010] In addition, when storing the cord, the plug storage section for preventing the plug from entering the tool box may be provided with a lid for inserting and removing a plug for replacing the cord.

The connection between the cord reel and the extension cord is preferably made of an outlet and a plug which can be screwed so as not to be easily detached.

[0012]

[Operation] The tool box with the cord reel configured as above can be used with the tap on the tool box by pulling out the plug and plugging it into the power source when trying to pull the power. After use, it may be wound on a cord reel.

Further, if the extension cord, plug or tap is damaged, the cord may be pulled out to the end, a plug of the extension cord attached to the core of the cord reel may be removed, and a new cord may be attached.

[0014]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described based on embodiments with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, tool box 1
The cord reel 2 used by a vacuum cleaner or the like is fixed in the inside, the plug 3 is taken out of the tool box, and a plug lid 14 is provided so as not to enter the tool box 1, and the plug cord is wound up. The button 6 allows the plug extension cord 5 to be automatically wound.

The tool box 1 is provided with a fixing tap 4 for drawing power from the cord reel 2 so that the tool box 1 can be used with the power drawn from the plug 3.

In FIG. 2, a cord reel socket 9 is attached to a core 10 of the cord reel, and a cord reel plug 8 connected to the cord reel attached to the extension cord 7 is attached so that the extension cord 7 can be replaced.

In FIG. 3, two cord reels 15 used by a vacuum cleaner or the like are fixed in a tool box 27, and
A plug 16 is provided on the table, and a detachable tap 19 is provided on the other table.
4, a plug lid 26 and a tap lid 15 are provided so as not to enter the tool box 14, and the plug cord winding button 18 or the tap cord winding button 20
The plug extension cord 17 or the tap extension cord 21 can be automatically wound.

[0018]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects.

By attaching the cord box and the extension cord to the tool box, the tool box and the extension cord are carried around at the same time, so that even if an unexpected power supply is required, it is possible to respond immediately, and it is not necessary to clear the cord. In addition, the tool box is usually taken home every day, so that the extension cord is not left unattended at the construction site.

Also, since the battery of the tool can be charged in the tool box, the battery can be easily charged on site so as not to disturb the work of the people around.

The fact that there is no need to carry the extension cord not only at the construction site, but also outdoors, reduces the amount of luggage by one, and makes it unnecessary to forget to carry the extension cord.

Further, since a damaged cord or outlet can be easily replaced, an accident such as a short circuit or a short circuit can be prevented.

Further, by providing the cord reel for tapping, it becomes easier to secure the power supply without moving the tool box.
