[0007] As in Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3, Fig. 4, Fig. 5, Fig. 6 to Fig. As shown in Figure 7, the magnetic toolbox 1 of the invention comprises a main body 10, at least one magnetic element 20 and at least one anti-slip element 30.
[0008] The main body 10 has a mounting surface 11 and a plurality of compartments 12. The mounting surface 11 faces a mounting surface 2. The plurality of compartments 12 are for storing at least one item and have at least three different specifications. The at least one magnetic element 20 is arranged on the mounting surface 11 to attract the mounting surface 2. The at least one anti-slip element 30 is arranged on the mounting surface 11 to be wedged between the mounting surface 11 and the mounting surface 2. The plurality of compartments 12 can have different sizes, shapes, or opening directions to store items of different types or configurations, thus achieving convenient tool management.The magnetic toolbox 1 can be positioned as needed, for example, on various parts of a woodworking machine or other metal surfaces that can be attracted to it, thus effectively improving work efficiency and increasing safety in the work environment. The main body 10 also has an upper surface 14 and a lower surface 15, which are opposite each other. The multiple compartments 12 are at least partially open to the outside from the upper surface 14. The lower surface 15 is provided with at least one connecting hole 151. The connecting hole 151 is connected to one of the compartments 12 to drain dirt from the compartment 12 and thus prevent its accumulation.
[0009] The plurality of compartments 12 includes at least one first compartment 121 and at least one second compartment 122, extending along a longitudinal direction L. The cross-sectional shape of the first compartment 121 differs from the cross-sectional shape of the second compartment 122. In this embodiment, the plurality of compartments 12 includes one first compartment 121 and two second compartments 122, located on two opposite sides of the first compartment 121. The cross-sectional shape of the first compartment 121 is rectangular, and the cross-sectional shape of each second compartment 122 is curved. The main body 10 also has a front surface 13 opposite the mounting surface 11. The front surface 13 forms at least one cutout 131, which communicates with the compartments 12 (in this embodiment, the first compartment 121) and serves for suspending an object.The first compartment 121 extends through the main body 10 to accommodate a tool with an enlarged section, such as a screwdriver, chisel, etc. It is also possible to hang a measuring tape at the location of the cutout 131 in the front surface 13. The second compartments 122 can be used to insert a pen, a rod-shaped tool, a ruler, etc. However, the number and shape of the first and second compartments can also be modified according to design requirements. The front surface can also be left without the cutout.
[0010] The multiple compartments 12 further include at least one third compartment 123, which extends along a transverse direction W perpendicular to the longitudinal direction L and penetrates the main body 10. The depth of the third compartment 123 in the longitudinal direction L is less than the depth of the first compartment 121 and the depth of the second compartments 122, in order to store a square or a ruler. The at least one third compartment 123 is located between the first compartment 121 and the mounting surface 11, in order to prevent the items stored in the at least one third compartment 123 from interfering with the items stored in the first compartment 121 and the two second compartments 122, thus facilitating use.
[0011] The magnetic element 20 is a neodymium magnet, for example an N42 neodymium magnet, which has a strong magnetic force and good load-bearing capacity. In particular, the magnetic toolbox 1 further comprises at least one screw 40 and at least one nut 50. The main body 10 also has at least one limiting groove 16 and at least one through-hole 17. The at least one through-hole 17 extends between the at least one limiting groove 16 and the mounting surface 11. The nut 50 is non-rotatably mounted in the limiting groove 16. The screw 40 is passed through the magnetic element 20 and the through-hole 17 and screwed to the nut 50, as shown in the Fig. 3 and Fig. Figure 5 shows that during assembly, the nut 50 can rest against two opposite side walls of the limiting groove 16 without relative rotation. The at least one screw and the at least one nut 50 cannot be easily loosened relative to each other. The limiting groove 16 is open towards the upper surface 14 and one of the second compartments 122 to facilitate the insertion and fixing of the nut 50.
[0012] The mounting surface 11 is provided with at least one receiving recess 111. The at least one magnetic element 20 is housed in the at least one receiving recess 111. The magnetic element 20 is provided with a countersink 21. The head of the screw 40 is housed in the countersink 21. Preferably, the magnetic element 20 and the screw 40 do not protrude from the mounting surface 11 in order to avoid collisions and friction with the mounting surface 2.
[0013] The at least one anti-slip element 30 partially protrudes from the mounting surface 11 and has at least one first extension section 31 and at least one second extension section 32 transverse to the at least one first extension section 31. The first extension section 31 extends along the longitudinal direction L and the second extension section 32 extends along the transverse direction W. They provide frictional resistance in the longitudinal direction L and the transverse direction W, thus improving the load-bearing capacity of the magnetic toolbox 1. The magnetic toolbox 1 includes an H-shaped anti-slip element 30, which is integrally formed with the main body 10 by overmolding and is not easily detached. The width of the second extension section 32 near the lower surface 15 is greater than the width of the second extension section 32 near the upper surface 14, which effectively enhances the anti-slip effect.The height of the at least one anti-slip element 30, which protrudes from the mounting surface 11, is between 0.3 mm and 0.8 mm. This prevents the main body 10 or the at least one magnetic element 20 from directly colliding with the mounting surface 2 when the magnetic toolbox 1 is attached to the mounting surface 2, thus providing a buffering effect. The Shore hardness of the anti-slip element 30 is between 20 and 50 degrees (preferably between 30 and 40 degrees). It is made, for example, of an elastomer to provide a buffering and anti-slip effect and to protect the mounting surface 2 from scratches.
[0014] The main body 10 also has two spaced-apart projections 18 and a writing utensil compartment 19 for inserting a writing utensil 3. The writing utensil compartment 19 is located between the two projections 18. When the two projections 18 are against two opposite sides of a plate 4 and the main body 10 moves along the plate 4, the writing utensil 3 can draw a line 5 on the plate 4, as shown in the Fig. 6 and Fig.Figure 7 shows that this allows the magnetic toolbox 1 to also be used as a drawing tool, thus achieving versatility and convenience. The two protrusions 18 are arranged on the lower surface 15, and the writing tool compartment 19 is located in the first compartment 121, in a central position between the two protrusions 18. When the two protrusions 18 are positioned against opposite sides of the plate 4 along a thickness direction of the plate 4, the pen tool 3 is located in the center of the plate 4 and can draw a center line on the plate 4.
