Benefits of technology

"The present invention is a toolbox with two shells, a lock, and multiple tool holders. The shells can pivot and lock together, and the tool holders can easily attach and remove from the shells. This allows for different combinations of tool holders to be used with the shells. The toolbox has the advantage of easy access to tools, as they are neatly held by the tool holders. Additionally, the toolbox allows for easy engagement and disengagement of the tool holders with the shells without the need for tools. This toolbox also allows for the use of various tool holders and takes advantage of redundancy by allowing users to leave spare tools and holders at home or in other places."

Problems solved by technology

The large amount of tools however renders it difficult to search the toolbox for needed tools.
The tool holders however tend to shift in the toolboxes and jeopardize their ability to neatly hold the tools.

first embodiment

[0021]Shown in FIG. 1 is a toolbox according to the present invention. The toolbox includes a first shell 10 and a second shell 20 pivotally connected to the first shell 10. The toolbox is rectangular as shown; however, the toolbox may be in any other appropriate shape.

[0022]Referring to FIGS. 2 through 4, the toolbox is equipped with a number of small tool holders 30 and a plurality of large tool holders 40. The first shell 10 includes two connectors 11 on a side. Each of the connectors 11 includes a C-shaped portion 111 as best shown in FIG. 3. The first shell 10 includes two restraints 12 and 13 on an opposite side and a gap 14 between the restraints 12 and 13. A track 141 is formed on the wall of the gap 14. A lock 142 is movably installed on the track 141. The first shell 10 includes a space 15 therein and a plurality of bosses 17 on the floor of the space 15. The bosses 17 are circular.

[0023]The second shell 20 includes two connectors 21 for connection to the connectors 11 of ...

second embodiment

[0029]Referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, there is shown a toolbox according to the present invention. The second embodiment is like the first embodiment except a few things. Firstly, the first shell 10 includes recesses 18 instead of the bosses 17. Secondly, the second shell 20 includes recesses 28 instead of the bosses 27. Thirdly, each of the small tool holders 30 includes bosses 35 instead of the recesses 34. Fourthly, each of the large tool holders 40 includes bosses 45 instead of the recesses 44.

[0030]The toolbox according to the present invention exhibits several advantages. Firstly, it enables a user to easily find the tools as the tool holders neatly hold the tools in the shells. Secondly, it enables a user to easily engage the tool holders with the shells and disengage them from one another without the use of tools. Thirdly, it allows a user to use various tool holders together with the shells, i.e., the user can carry various tools in the toolbox. Fourthly, it takes redundant bur...

Abstract

A toolbox includes two shells, a lock and a plurality of tool holders. The shells are pivotally connected to each other. The lock can lock the shells to each other. The tool holders can be firmly attached to and easily removed from the shells, thus allowing various combinations of tool holders to be used together with the shells.

Description

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION[0001]1. Field of Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a toolbox with tool holders detachably but firmly positioned therein for neatly holding tools.[0003]2. Related Prior Art[0004]Almost every family keeps tools such as screwdrivers and / or socket wrenches so that family members can do some simple maintenance and repairing. Technicians carry tools such as screwdrivers and / or socket wrenches. For example, computer technicians, furniture deliverers and maintenance workers carry various tools so that they can conduct simple maintenance and / or repairing on site. To carry the tools, the technicians need toolboxes. Although screwdrivers and socket wrenches are made with different length, a technician often buys a toolbox based on the longest and the largest of the tools so that there is room for more tools. It is human nature to carry many tools just to fill the toolbox and prepare for possible use. The large amount of tools however renders it difficult t...
