Whether it is a "single layer structure" or a "multilayer structure", the tool cabinet of the present invention maintains the tool tray obliquely on the base with a support mechanism, so that the tools in the tool tray are displayed in front of the user, enough to quickly find the required or The right tool.

In addition, the tool cabinet of the present invention maintains a multi-layer structure with a telescopic rod, and the total height is reduced in accordance with the retracting action of the telescopic rod, which reduces space occupation and facilitates the collection of the site.

Hereinafter, the objects, structures, and features of the related embodiments will be described in detail based on the drawings, and it is believed that the techniques, means, and effects of the present invention can be obtained from an in-depth and specific understanding.

Referring to Fig. 1, the present embodiment is a single-layer tool cabinet 10, which has a hollow quadrilateral frame serving as a base 11 and can be placed on a flat surface such as a table top or a countertop. A tool tray 12 is placed on the base 11, and the base 11 is pivotally coupled to the tool tray 12 through two hinges 13 fastened to the same side of the frame. An L-shaped piece 14 is respectively locked on both sides of the base 11, and a support mechanism is arranged through the two L-shaped pieces 14 to maintain the tool plate 12 obliquely standing on the base 11 at a predetermined angle.

In Fig. 2, the tool disk 12 body conforms to the base 11, and the disk frame surrounds the space of the same shape, and a plurality of small spaces or appropriately shaped cavity holes can be planned for placing various tools. After the support mechanism releases the maintenance function, the tool tray 12 is placed on the base 11 by gravity and pivoted about the hinge 13. Because the distance from the side of the tool tray 12 to the opposite side of the locking hinge 13 is slightly shorter than the distance between the opposite sides, the tool tray 12 is placed in the hollow portion of the base 11 and slightly touches the hollow frame without falling. Below the base 11.

Returning to Figures 1 and 2, the support mechanism includes a two-joint assembly 20, each joint assembly 20 being comprised of a fixed piece 21 and a movable piece 24. The two ends of the fixing piece 21 are respectively fitted with a spacer 25, and are fastened to the outside of the tool plate 12 by one of fastening methods such as riveting or screwing, so that the fixing piece 21 is cut with the middle portion of the elongated hole 22 and the tool plate. 12 is separated by a predetermined distance, and is caught in the groove 23 at a portion where the wall surface of the elongated hole 22 is biased toward one end.

Next, in the second and third figures, one end of the movable piece 24 is pivotally connected to the corresponding L-shaped piece 14 of the base 11, and the other end surface protrudes from the tool disk 12 by the sliding section 26. The sliding section 26 is a cylinder having a diameter smaller than the width of the elongated hole 22 and the recess 23, and is inserted into the elongated hole 22, and the end of the sliding section 26 is formed to form a head 27 having a diameter larger than that of the elongated hole 22 to prevent slippage. The segment 26 is detached from the fixing piece 21.

The fixing piece 21 in the figure is close to the base 11 in response to the lying movement of the tool tray 12, and the associated sliding section 26 slides along the wall surface of the elongated hole 22 toward the end of the fixing piece 21, driving the movable piece 24 to be pivoted. Swing to a level close to the state.

Referring again to Figures 1 and 4, the tool disc 12 is forced to swing relative to the base 11 to a predetermined angle, so that the fixing piece 21 guides the sliding section 26 in the opposite direction by the wall surface of the elongated hole 22 until the sliding section 26 enters the recess 23 And they are in conflict with each other. Since the fixing piece 21 is subjected to the gravity of the tool disk 12, the sliding force is applied to the sliding section 26, and the movable piece 24 itself is rigid and not enough to form a supporting force between the sliding section 26 and the L-shaped piece 14, completing the tool. The disc 12 is erected on the susceptor 11 for maintenance purposes and can be quickly found to find the desired tool.

According to the structure of the above tool cabinet, the following embodiments can be derived. For example, the difference between the tool cabinet of Fig. 5 and the above-described embodiment is that, first, the flat plate is used as the base 31, and the required wheels 32 are arranged at the bottom to form a four-moving tool cart 30. The tool tray 33 is coupled to the top surface of the flat base 31 via a hinge 34 or other pivotal structure.

Second, this embodiment makes some changes to the construction of the support. As shown in FIG. 6, the support mechanism 40 is replaced with a movable member 41. One end of the movable member 41 is pivotally connected to the base 31, and the other end is pivotally inserted into a connecting member 42 fixed to the back of the tool tray 33. 33 produces a supporting action for holding the tool tray 33 in an upright position on the base 31.

Moreover, the support mechanism 40 of the present embodiment can also be replaced with a new movable member 43 as shown in FIG. 7, one end of which is pivotally connected to the back of the tool tray 33, and the other end swings against a relative position fixed to the relative position of the base 31. At block 44, the maintenance tool tray 33 is erected on the base 31 at a predetermined angle.

The description so far is sufficient to understand the "single layer structure" of the present invention with respect to the tool cabinet, and then the specific "multilayer structure" will be described in detail.

Figures 8 and 9 show a multi-layer tool cabinet. Four pillars 60 are arranged at corresponding corners of the three bases. Each base is pivotally connected to the corresponding tool tray 52 by a hinge 51. The assembly 20 is coupled to maintain the tool tray 52 erected over the base.

The bottom layer of the tool cabinet is a thin flat plate, defined as a first base 53, and the required wheels 54 are arranged at the bottom of the first base 53 to form a rolling displacement tool cart 50. The intermediate layer and the uppermost layer of the tool cart 50 are both hollow frames, which are respectively regarded as a second base 55 and a third base 56, and each of the two sides of the tool disk 52 is inserted through a long hole-shaped displacement portion. 57. Of course, the displacement portions 57 may also adopt an open-type groove configuration and are disposed at relevant portions of the two bases 55, 56.

Among the tool trays 52, the topmost tool tray 52 is pivotally connected to the third base 56 by a hinge 51, and the cover body 70 is pivotally connected near the opening of the tool tray 52. The cover body 70 is provided with a plurality of holes 71 and is covered by the tool plate 52. Above the opening. The remaining two layers of the tool disc 52 are pivotally connected to the lower base through the hinge 51, and the long rod 58 is coupled to the opposite side, and the two ends of the rod 58 are inserted into the corresponding displacement portions 57 of the upper base. In brief, the bottommost tool disk 52 is pivotally connected to the first base 53 via the hinge 51, and the two ends of the rod body 58 are inserted into the corresponding displacement portions 57 of the second base 55. At the same time, the intermediate layer tool disk 52 is pivotally connected to the second base 55 via the hinge 51, and the two ends of the rod body 58 are inserted into the corresponding displacement portions 57 of the third base 56.

Next, the pillar 60 is seen. In this embodiment, the three-section telescopic rod is used. The first section 61 partially exposes the first base 53. The two bases are provided with a welding fixed relationship and are axially trapped in the largest diameter receiving space. Collection of the second section 62 and the third section 63. The third section 63 is the smallest diameter circular tube body, and has a snap relationship with the third base 53 and can be incorporated into the second section 62. The second section 62 passes through the second base 55 and releases the latching relationship with each other, causing the second section 62 to retract into the first section 61, and the respective bases 53, 55, 56 are stacked with the tool tray 52, and the tool cart is reduced. The total height of 50.

During use, the tool cart 50 rests on the ground E as shown in FIG. The third base 56 is pulled up to hold the topmost tool disk 52, and the third section 63 of the associated strut 60 is raised together. At the same time, the rod body 58 slides along the wall surface of the displacement portion 57, and the intermediate layer tool disc 52 is driven to swing with the hinge 51 as an axis, so that an acute angle is sandwiched between the intermediate layer tool disc 52 and the second base 55. At this point, the fixing piece 21 of the joint assembly 20 moves in the same direction with the tool tray 52, and the movable piece 24 is oscillated.

The associated relationship between the third pedestal 56 and the third section 63 can be fully understood from Fig. 11. In the third section 63 of the figure, a plug body 64 is embedded at the top end. The plug body 64 extends transversely through the one-step hole 65. The hole is embedded with a U-shaped plug 66, and a spring 67 is inserted into the pin to elastically push the latch. 66 passes through the wall surfaces of the third base 56 and the third section 63, so that the two combine to create a synchronous relationship.

Referring again to Fig. 12, the third base 56 is forced to pull the third section 63 to a predetermined height, driving the rod body 58 to the end of the displacement portion 57 near the L-shaped piece 14, while the fixing piece 21 is adapted to the intermediate layer tool plate. 52 acts to resist the movable piece 24 by gravity, so that the tool plate 52 maintains the inclined state of the predetermined angle at the second base 55.

It should be noted that the third section 63 of Fig. 13 has a resilient pin body 68 embedded in the end of the second section 62, and is gradually raised in response to the pulling out motion of the third section 63 until the pin body 68 passes through the The second base 55 is joined to the second hole 62, 63 with respect to a hole 59 of the second section 62. In this manner, the third base 56 drives the second base 55 to rotate in synchronization with the second section 62 as shown in FIG. 12 until the total height of the tool cart 50 is extended to the upper limit, so that the bottommost tool disk 52 can also stand obliquely at the first position. Above the base 53.

In Fig. 14, the elevated tool cart 50 can pull up the topmost tool pan 52, and through the support of the joint assembly 20, the tool pan 52 is maintained in an inclined state at the third base 56. At the same time, the cover 70 is opened, and the required hooking means is attached to any of the holes 71 for suspending the tool T.

Finally, in the fifteenth figure, the edge of the cover body 70 has a convex portion 72 that interferes with the outside of the topmost tool tray 52 along the squeezing action, so that an angle is formed between the reclining cover body 70 and the virtual line of the vertical ground. θ. This angle θ ranges from about 1 to 20 degrees, so that the cover 70 does not cover the opening of the tool plate 52 due to the weight of the tool.

When it is not desired to use, the pin body is retracted into the post 60 as shown in Fig. 9, and the third base 56 is pressed, and the third section 63 is retracted into the second section 62. At the same time, the elbow action of the joint mechanism 20 is released, and the rod body 58 is retracted to the other end of the displacement portion 57. The tool plate 52 of the intermediate layer is gradually inclined and finally lies on the second base 55.

Similarly, the second base 55 is forced to move down until the second section 62 penetrates the first section 61, causing the bottommost tool tray 52 to lie above the first base 53 with the homing rod 58. In this way, the total height of the tool cart 50 is reduced, does not occupy space, and is easy to collect.

The above examples are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention. Various changes, modifications, and applications derived from the above-described embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
