Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a tool box, and more particularly, to a tool box comprising a box body and a lid pivotally attached to the box body.

Generally, this type of tool box is provided with a substantially U-shaped handle on the side wall of the box body so that it can be easily carried, but the handle protrudes outward from the side wall of the box body. Moreover, since it is attached to the cylindrical bearing part protruding from the side wall via a pivot shaft, it can be freely raised and lowered, so it can be used when the tool box is inside a carrier bag or box, or when these carrier bags are used. When carrying the device while storing it in a bag, the handle dangles around and becomes a nuisance, and also makes a noise.

The present invention was devised in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional technology, and the latching piece for closing the handle and lid gets in the way when stored in a carrier bag, etc., or when stacked for storage or transportation. In addition, it is possible to prevent the noise caused by the handle, and to maintain the closed state of the lid reliably, by providing a recess in the side wall of the box body, At the same time, the said hand is attached freely up and down,
A locking piece that engages with a locking portion provided on the lid is provided in the recess and on the inside of the handle, while an engaging protrusion is provided in the recess that faces the handle in the collapsed position, The handle is characterized in that an engaging portion that engages with the engaging protrusion is provided on the handle.

An embodiment of the tool box of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

In the figure, 1 is a rectangular box with an open top, and 2 is a lid that is pivotally attached to one side wall of the box 1 to close the opening of the box body 1. The lid body 2 is integrally formed of synthetic resin.

The box body 1 includes a horizontally long rectangular bottom wall 11, four side walls rising upward from the side walls of the bottom wall 11,
Specifically, it consists of a front wall 12, a rear wall 13, a left wall 14, and a right wall 15, and a partition wall 16 is integrally provided within the box body 1 to form a plurality of compartments.
Furthermore, a collar 17 that projects outward is provided at the upper end of each of the side walls 12 to 15.

The lid 2 also includes a top wall 21 having the same shape as the bottom wall 11, and four side walls hanging downward from the side walls of the top wall 21, specifically a front wall 22, a rear wall 23,
Consisting of a left side wall 24 and a right side wall 25, each of the side walls 22 to 25 has a flange portion 2 projecting outward at the lower end edge thereof.

Note that the upper end of each of the side walls 12 to 15 of the box body 1 is provided with a protrusion that protrudes into the lid 2, and the partition wall 16 has an upper end that protrudes into the lid 2. When the lid body 2 is closed, it is brought into contact with the inner surface of the ceiling wall 21 to prevent the ceiling wall 21 from deflecting inward.

For example, on the front side wall 12 of the box body 1,
An inwardly directed recess 18 is provided over the entire length in the vertical direction, and the substantially U-shaped handle 4 is mounted in the recess 18 so as to freely rise and fall, for example, via thin hinges 5, 5, and within the recess 18, Moreover, a locking piece 7 that engages with a locking part 8 provided on the lid body 2 is provided on the inside of the handle 4, and a locking piece 7 that engages with a locking part 8 provided on the lid body 2 is provided in the recess 18, and a locking piece 7 that faces the support part 4a of the handle 4 in the collapsed position is provided. Engaging protrusions 6, 6 are provided, and the engaging protrusions 6, 6 are provided on the holder 4a of the handle 4, for example, concave engaging parts 41, 41 that engage with the engaging protrusions 6, 6.
is provided so that the holder 4a of the handle 4 is secured to the front wall 12 of the box body 1.

The handle 4 and the engaging protrusion 6 are integrally formed from the same synthetic resin as the box body 1 and the lid 2 when the box body 1 and the lid 2 are formed by molding, and the handle 4, when it falls down, the hanging part 4
The a-side end portion is formed to have a length that projects downward from the bottom wall 11 of the box main body 1, and the hanging portion 4 of the hanging hand 4 is laid down.
The engaging projection 6 is formed integrally with a rib 19 extending in the vertical direction of the front wall 12, and two engaging projections 6 are provided in the drawing. When the handle 4 is pivotally attached via the thin hinge 5, the handle 4 rises from the thin hinge 5 when the handle 4 is not engaged with the engagement protrusion 6.

The locking piece 7 is provided with a claw portion 7a that engages with the locking portion 8, and the locking portion 8 of the claw portion 7a
In the drawing, the locking piece 7 is provided in the recess 18 of the box body 1 via a thin hinge 9 so as to freely rise and fall, and the lid 2 is closed by engagement with the box body 1. There is a recess 2 in the front wall 22 of the
7 is provided, and the locking portion 8 is provided in the recessed portion 27. The locking piece 7 and the locking part 8 are inserted into the recess 1.
8 and 27, when the lid 2 is closed, the locking piece 7 can be prevented from protruding outward from the side walls of the box body 1 and the lid 2, and the locking piece 7 can be prevented from getting in the way. It is possible to prevent this from happening. Note that the locking piece 7 and the locking part 8 are connected to the box body 1 and the lid body 2.
When forming by molding, these box body 1 and lid body 2
It is integrally formed from the same synthetic resin. When the locking piece 7 is pivotally attached via the thin hinge 9, the locking piece 7 rises from the thin hinge 9 when the locking piece 7 is not engaged with the locking portion 8.
Further, a rib 29 having a locking groove 28 that engages with the protrusion protruding into the lid 2 from the front wall 12 of the box body 1 is provided inside the recess 27 of the lid 2. When the body 2 is closed, the front wall 12 of the box body 1
This structure prevents the front wall 22 of the lid body 2 from bending inward.

The present invention is constructed as described above, and when carried in a carrying bag or box, the first,
As shown in Figure 5, the handle 4 is laid down in the recess 18 of the box body 1, and the engaging part 41 of the handle 4 is engaged with the engagement protrusion 6 of the box body 1. The hand 4 can be stored in the recess 18, and the hand 4 can be reliably prevented from hanging out. Also, when carrying with hand 4, hold hand 4.
