Description
- The present invention relates to toolboxes, and in particular to a light reflected toolbox, which metal reflecting plates are adhered to the surface of the toolbox body, the toolbox can be found easily and rapidly at night. Furthermore, the metal light reflecting plates are lower than the surfaces of the toolbox so that the reflecting plates will not wear and thus the reflecting functions can be retained for a long time. Moreover slide stop portions are formed on the toolbox so as to have the affect of retaining the toolbox body on a surface.
- Handtools are necessary for many workers, even people traveling outdoors need handtools for overcoming some difficulties. Generally, the workers need carry a plurality of handtools at a time. Thus, the handtool box is developed for receiving a plurality of handtools at one time.
- However the prior art handtool boxes have simple structures, such as a cover and a receiving tank. The handtools are placed in the box irregularly. Furthermore, the handtool box has a dark outlook so that as the worker works at a dark environment, he (or she) cannot find the box or take some time to find it. All these make troublesome to workers. Thereby the outer surface of the handtool box is smooth. It is not slide stop and thus cannot be firmly positioned.
- Accordingly, the primary object of the present invention is to provide a light reflected toolbox, which metal reflecting plates are adhered to the surface of the toolbox body, the tool box can be found easily and rapidly at night. Furthermore, the metal light reflecting plates are lower than the surfaces of the toolbox so that the reflecting plates will not wear and the reflecting functions can be retained for a long time. Moreover slide stop portions are formed to have the affect of retaining the toolbox body on a surface.
- To achieve above objects, the present invention provides a light reflected toolbox which comprises a toolbox body includes a lower box and a cover which are closeably and openably pivoted; each outer surface of the lower box and cover is formed with a groove; a middle portion of the groove being adhered with a light reflecting plate. At least one receiving spaces is formed at the container formed by the lower box and cover. Each of the left and right portions of the lower box and cover is formed with a U shape recess; and each U shape recess is adhere with an U shape metal reflecting plate. Each of left and right portions of the pivoted portion of the cover and lower box has a respective buckle; and a surface of each buckle having an arrow indication for identifying open and close state. The light emitting plate in the groove is lower than the respective surface of the toolbox.
- The various objects and advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood from the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the appended drawing.
-
FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of the light reflected toolbox of the present invention. -
FIG. 2 shows the perspective view of the light reflected toolbox of the present invention. -
FIG. 3 is a plane schematic view of the light reflected toolbox of the present invention. -
FIG. 4 is a cross sectional view along line A-A of the present invention. -
FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view of another embodiment of the present invention. -
FIG. 6 shows one application of the present invention, where light incidents into the surface of the toolbox of the present invention. - In order that those skilled in the art can further understand the present invention, a description will be described in the following in details. However, these descriptions and the appended drawings are only used to cause those skilled in the art to understand the objects, features, and characteristics of the present invention, but not to be used to confine the scope and spirit of the present invention defined in the appended claims.
- Referring to
FIGS. 1 to 5 , the present invention has the following elements. - A
toolbox body 1 includes alower box 2 and acover 3 which are closeably and openably pivoted. Each of left and right portions of the pivoted portion of thecover 3 andlower box 2 has arespective buckle 4. A middle portion of the pivoted portion has ahandle 5. A surface of eachbuckle 4 has anarrow indication 41 for identifying open and close state. A plurality ofreceiving spaces 6 are formed at the container formed by thelower box 2 andcover 3, as shown inFIG. 4 . Thereceiving spaces 6 have shapes corresponding to shapes of hand tools so that the hand tools can be firmly retained therein. - Furthermore, each outer surface of the
lower box 2 andcover 3 is formed with agroove 7. The left and right portions of thegroove 7 are formed withslide stop portions 8 which are formed by a plurality of strips. The other portion of thegroove 7 is adhered with a metallight reflecting plate 9. An upper end of each strip is flushed with the surface of thelower box 2 orcover 3 and is higher than the metallight reflecting plate 9. Each of the left and right portions of thelower box 2 andcover 3 is formed with a U shape recess 10. Each U shape recess 10 is adhered (or buckled) with a U shapemetal reflecting plate 11. Preferably, the U shapemetal reflecting plate 11 is lower than the surface of thelower box 2 or thecover 3. In another example, as illustrated inFIG. 5 , two ends of each U shapemetal reflecting plate 11 are formed withrespective hooks 111 for hooking a respective edge of thecover 3 andlower box 2 so as to from a light reflected tool box. - The affect of the present invention will be illustrated herein with referring to
FIG. 6 . - Since the U shape
metal reflecting plates 11 and metallight reflecting plate 9 are adhered to the surface of thetoolbox body 1, the toolbox can be found easily and rapidly at night. - Furthermore, the metal
light reflecting plate 9 and U shapemetal reflecting plates 11 are lower than the surfaces of thelower box 2 andcover 3 so that the reflecting plates will not wear so that the reflecting functions can be retained for a long time. - The slide stop
portions 8 at two sides of thegrooves 7 have the affect of retaining the toolbox body on a surface. - The present invention is thus described, it will be obvious that the same may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and all such modifications as would be obvious to one skilled in the art are intended to be included within the scope of the following claims.
