Randall, Seattle, Wash. Application September 11, 1943, Serial No. 502,004 1 claim. (01. 206-16) The present invention relates to new and useful improvements in tool boxes of the type comprising a plurality of trays, and has for its primary object to provide, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, a device of this character embodying a novel construction and arrangement whereby access may be readily had to the contents of the boxwithout disturbing the contents of the trays and vice versa.
Another very important objectof the invention is to provide a tool box of the aforementioned character comprising a unique cover construction for said box and the trays.
' Other Objects of the invention are to provide a tool box of the character described which will be comparatively simple in construction; strong, durable, highly efficient and reliable in use, compact, light in weight, and which may be manufactured at low cost.
of the foregoing, and still further objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from a study of the following specification, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing wherein like characters of reference designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, and wherein:
Figure 1 is a view in end elevation of a tool box constructed in accordance with the present,
. upper portion of the device, taken substantially on the line 3-3 of Figure 2. I
Figure 4 is a fragmentary view in vertical longitudinal section through an upper, end portion of thedevice, taken substantially on the line 4-4 of Figure 1.
Figure 5 is a fragmentary view in section, taken substantially on the line 5-5 of Figure 3.
Referring now to the drawings in detail, it will be seen that the embodiment 'ofthe invention which has been illustrated comprises an elongatedbox body of suitable metal which is designated generally by reference numeral I. The box body I may be of any desired dimensions. The box body I includes oppositely inclined, comparatively low and high front and rear walls 2 and 3, respectively, end walls 4 and a bottom 5. The end walls 4 of the box body I, it will be observed, project above the front and rear 2 and 3 of said body.
Mounted between the uppermost portions of the endwalls 4 of the body I is a stationary tray 6. Mounted'rearwardly of and below the horizontal plane of the tray 6 is a comparatively large, deep stationary tray 1. The rear tray 1 is fixed to the tray 6, the end walls 4 and the back 3 of the box body I. The tray 6 is positioned Well above and to the rear of the upper edge of the front wall 2 for permitting easy access to the box I below the trays.
A cover section 8 is hingedly mounted at 9 on the upper portion of the front wall 2. The free marginal end portion of the cover section 8 is offset in a manner to provide a seat 3. The cover section 8 further includes flanges III which receive the end walls 4 therebetween.
Hingedly mounted at II on the upper edge of the back wall 3 of the body I is a cover section l2. The cover section I2 is of a cross-sectional shape to conform to the upper edges of the end walls 4. The cover section I2 also includes depending flanges I3 which receive the end walls 4 of the box therebetween. When they cover sec- 7 tions 8 and I2 are in closed position, as shown in Figure 3 of the drawings, the free end portion of said section I2 rests on the seat 9 of said section 8.
Hingedly mounted on the free end portion of the cover section ,I2 is a'hasp I3. The hasp I3 is engageable with a staple I4 on the cover section 8. A suitable lock may be inserted through the staple I4 for securing the hasp I3 thereon. Also mounted on the cover section I2 is a handle I5.
It is thought that the manner in which the device is used will be readily apparent from a consideration of the foregoing. Briefly, if access to the trays 6 and I only is desired, it is only necessary to swing the cover section I2 to open position for fully exposing said trays. If access to the body I is also desired, the cover section 81s swung forwardly and downwardly to open position. It will be observed that the construction and arrangement is such that access may be had to the tools in the body I without disturbing those in the trays 6 and l and vice versa. The cover section I2 conforms to the upper edges of the end walls 4 on which it rests when in closed position. This section I2 constitutes a cover for the trays 6 and I and a portion of the cover for the body I.
It is believed that the many advantages of a tool box constructed in accordance with the present invention will be readily understood, and
although a preferred embodiment of the device is as illustrated anddescribed, it is to be understood that changes in the details of construction tion of angular form in cross-section hinged at its rear edge to the upper edge of the rear wall and resting on the upper edges of the front tray and the top and upper front edges of the end walls when in a closed position, and a second cover section hinged at its lower edge to the upper edge of the front wall and engaging the front edges of the end walls between the front wall and the first-named cover section when in closed 10 position, the space within the body in front of and belowthe tray bein unobstructed.
