Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a toolbox with a side-hanging function, suitable for storing various tools and other items in daily life. Background Technology

[0002] Toolboxes are used daily for storing and organizing various tools. With the rapid development of modern industry, there are more and more special and specialized tools, and the environment and requirements of construction operations are also changing. Therefore, the design specifications of toolboxes are constantly being updated and iterated.

[0003] To meet user needs, existing toolboxes, in addition to storage, have been developed with various functions such as charging, multimedia, and display stands. However, regardless of their specific purpose, the rational allocation of storage space remains a concern. Current technology involves dividing the toolbox's interior into layers and compartments, designing multiple layers on the lid and walls. The drawback is that once the toolbox is finished, the structure of each compartment or layer is fixed, resulting in a limited storage function. Sometimes, it cannot accommodate the carrying of additional tools, requiring extra tools to be stored and carried in other bags, which is not only inconvenient but also increases the risk of loss and disrupts construction work. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and provide a toolbox with side-mounting function that has multiple uses and can effectively increase storage space.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is: a toolbox with side hanging function, including a box body and a box lid, characterized in that a side hanging groove is provided on the side wall of the box body, and an elastic latch is provided on the inner side of the side hanging groove, the elastic latch corresponding to the side hanging groove and connected to the side wall of the box body.

[0006] In a further preferred embodiment, the side hanging groove is provided on the side wall of the upper edge of the box body, and the elastic latch is also connected to the side wall of the upper edge of the box body accordingly. The box cover is provided with anti-detachment T-shaped ribs and anti-latch deformation T-shaped ribs. The anti-detachment T-shaped ribs correspond to the side hanging grooves, and the anti-latch deformation T-shaped ribs correspond to the elastic latch.

[0007] This invention utilizes the side wall of the toolbox as a new storage space for items. A side hanging slot and an elastic latch are provided on the side wall of the toolbox. Items can be directly hung in the side hanging slot or hung with quick-release clips. The elastic latch is used to help fix the item and prevent it from falling off.

[0008] It needs to be explained that in existing technologies, some toolboxes also have similar hook and ring structures on their side walls. However, these hooks and rings use a single hook or a "pin hole + metal ring" structure. A single hook structure is prone to losing or detaching items. The "pin hole + metal ring" structure involves first molding a protruding pin hole into the side wall of the toolbox, then installing a metal ring inside the pin hole, and finally using the metal ring to hang items. The disadvantages of this structure are that the pin hole area is small, resulting in a small stress point, low load-bearing capacity, and instability. The added metal ring has a limited function and is easily damaged. Compared with the above-mentioned existing technologies, this invention has three main advantages: first, a completely different structure; second, the side hanging groove with elastic latch structure not only has a high load-bearing capacity but also prevents items from being lost; and third, the side hanging groove structure can be used as a standard accessory with quick-release clips, allowing for the hanging of various special tools quickly and conveniently.

[0009] This invention features a simple and novel structure, effectively increasing the storage space of the toolbox. It allows for the free hanging of various special tools, is easy to use, and has broad market application prospects.

[0010] The present invention will now be explained in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Attached Figure Description

[0016] Explanation of reference numerals in the attached figures:

[0017] 1. Box body, 2. Box lid, 3. Side hanging groove, 4. Elastic latch, 5. Anti-detachment T-shaped rib, 6. Anti-tap deformation T-shaped rib, 7. Quick hanger. Implementation

[0018] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3A toolbox with side-hanging function includes a box body 1 and a box lid 2. U-shaped side-hanging grooves 3 are provided on the side walls of both sides of the box body 1. The U-shaped side-hanging grooves 3 are located on the side walls of the upper edge of the box body 1. A flexible latch 4 is correspondingly provided on the inner side of the side-hanging groove 3, and the flexible latch 4 is connected to the side wall of the box body 1. During manufacturing, the flexible latch 4 can be connected to the side wall of the box body 1 using connectors (such as screws, riveting, etc.), or it can be made as an integral structure with the side wall of the box body 1. Referring to the figure, the upper edge side wall of the box body 1 can be designed as a double-layer structure, with the U-shaped side-hanging groove 3 located on the outer side wall and the flexible latch 4 located on the corresponding inner side wall (this structure can utilize molding technology, which is a common technique and will not be elaborated further). The box lid 2 is provided with anti-detachment T-shaped ribs 5 and anti-latch deformation T-shaped ribs 6. The anti-detachment T-shaped ribs 5 correspond to the positions of the side-hanging grooves 3, and the anti-latch deformation T-shaped ribs 6 correspond to the positions of the flexible latch 4.

[0019] How to use:

[0020] Figure 4 and Figure 5 The illustration shows one method of using the invention. A quick-release clip 7 (e.g., a camera quick-release clip, the inventor's figure-eight quick-release clip, etc.) is installed in the side mounting slot 3. When installing the quick-release clip 7, the elastic latch 4 deforms outwards (inwards towards the inside of the case). After assembly, the elastic latch 4 springs back to its initial state, securing the quick-release clip 7 in the side mounting slot 3. Then, the case cover 2 is closed. The anti-detachment T-shaped rib 5 and the anti-latch deformation T-shaped rib 6 on the case cover 2 respectively press against the side mounting slot 3 and the elastic latch 4. See [reference needed]. Figure 5 As shown, the anti-detachment T-shaped rib 5 secures the quick-release clip 7 within the side hanging slot 3 to prevent it from detaching, and the anti-clamping tongue T-shaped rib 6 secures the elastic clamping tongue 4 to prevent it from deforming. Any item can be quickly hung on the quick-release clip 7, including various tools that are unsuitable for placement in a toolbox but are readily available, such as electric drills, flashlights, lithium batteries, walkie-talkies, etc., which is very convenient.

[0021] The examples given above are only for explaining the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
