Abstract
Description
TECHNOLOGY AREA
[0001] The utility model relates to a toolbox, in particular a toolbox with pluggable identification plates. BACKGROUND OF THE USAGE SAMPLE
[0002] Most toolboxes currently lack a mechanism for inserting identification labels. This means that if you want to attach an identification label to indicate the owner or intended use of the toolbox, it must be glued to the surface. Replacing this label later is very difficult and time-consuming, as removing the adhesive residue from the toolbox can even leave stubborn stains. Description of the utility model
[0003] The purpose of the utility model is therefore to provide a toolbox with pluggable identification plates, which not only overcomes the shortcomings of conventional toolboxes where the identification plates simply have to be attached to their surfaces, but also allows users to easily insert or replace the identification plate in the toolbox.
[0004] To solve the problem, a toolbox with pluggable identification tags is provided, comprising a first box body and a second box body coupled to the first box body, wherein the first box body or the second box body is designed with a locking groove which serves to receive the pluggable identification tags.
[0005] It can further be designed such that the first box body has a first lower wall, formed with a first hinged connecting wall, and a first mounting wall located opposite or connected to the first hinged connecting wall, while the second box body has a second lower wall, formed with a second hinged connecting wall, and a second mounting wall located opposite or connected to the second hinged connecting wall, so that the first hinged connecting wall and the second hinged connecting wall remain hinge-connected to each other, wherein at least one switching element is attached to the first mounting wall and the second mounting wall, wherein the locking groove can be formed in the first mounting wall, in the second mounting wall, in the first lower wall or in the second lower wall.
[0006] It can also be designed so that two switching elements are provided, between which the locking groove is located when the locking groove is formed in the first mounting wall.
[0007] It can also be designed so that two switching elements are provided, between which the locking groove is located when the locking groove is formed in the second mounting wall.
[0008] It can further be designed such that the first box body has a first lower wall, formed with a first hinged connecting wall, and a first support wall located opposite the first hinged connecting wall or connected to the first lower wall, while the second box body has a second lower wall, formed with a second hinged connecting wall, and a second support wall located opposite the second hinged connecting wall or connected to the second lower wall, so that the first hinged connecting wall and the second hinged connecting wall remain articulatedly connected to each other, wherein the locking groove is formed either in a first support wall or in a second support wall.
[0009] It can further be designed such that the locking groove comprises a base surface, an inner wall surface connected around the base surface and a plug-in opening formed by the circumference of the inner wall surface or located opposite the base surface, wherein the inner circular surface is formed with a slot connected continuously or not continuously to the plug-in opening, so that the identification tag can be inserted into the locking groove through the plug-in opening, wherein the identification tag inserted in this way remains open through the slot.
[0010] With this design, the identification plates can be conveniently placed in the toolbox or replaced within it. Drawing description
[0011] Further objectives, advantages and features of the embodiment according to the invention will become apparent from the following description of the exemplary embodiments with reference to the following drawings. Fig. Figure 1 shows an external view of a toolbox according to the invention with an inserted identification plate from a single angle. Fig. 2 shows an enlarged partial view with reference to Fig. 1, Fig. Figure 3 shows a sectional view with reference to Fig. 2, Fig. Figure 4 shows an external view of the toolbox according to the invention from a different angle. Detailed description of preferred embodiments
[0012] As from the Fig. As shown in Figures 1 to 4, the toolbox 1 according to the invention, which can be plugged in with an identification plate C, comprises a first box body 10 and a second box body 20 coupled to the first box body 10, wherein the first box body 10 is designed with a locking groove 30 for receiving the inserted identification plates C.
[0013] The first box body 10 has a first lower wall 11, a first hinged connecting wall 12 connected to the first lower wall 11, a first mounting wall 13 connected to or opposite the first hinged connecting wall 12, and a first support wall 14 connected to and opposite the first lower wall 11 and the first hinged connecting wall 12.
[0014] The second box body 20 has a second lower wall 21, a second hinged connecting wall 22 connected to the second lower wall 21, a second mounting wall 23 connected to or opposite the second hinged connecting wall 22, and a second support wall 24 connected to or opposite the second lower wall 21 and the second hinged connecting wall 22, wherein the first hinged connecting wall 12 and the second hinged connecting wall 22 are hingedly connected to each other.
[0015] In the present embodiment, the locking groove 30 is formed in the first mounting wall 13. However, the embodiment according to the invention is not limited to this. In a further embodiment, the locking groove 30 can be formed either in the first lower wall 11 or in the first support wall 14, or furthermore in the second box body 20, i.e., for example, in the second mounting wall 23, in the second lower wall 21, or in the second support wall 24.
[0016] In the present embodiment, a switching element 40 is attached to the first mounting wall 13 and the second mounting wall 23. In this case, the locking groove 30 is formed not only in the first mounting wall 13 but also between the two switching elements 40. However, the embodiment according to the invention is not limited to this. In a further embodiment with two switching elements 40, the locking groove 30 can be formed in the second mounting wall 23 or between the two switching elements 40. In a further embodiment, only one switching element 40 or more than three switching elements 40 can be provided.
[0017] In the present embodiment, the locking groove 30 comprises a base surface 31, an inner wall surface 32 connected circumferentially to the base surface 31, and a plug-in opening 33 formed by the circumference of the inner wall surface 32 or located opposite the base surface 31. The inner circular surface 32 is formed with a slot 34 continuously connected to the plug-in opening 33, so that the identification tag C can be inserted into the locking groove 30 through the plug-in opening 33, with the inserted identification tag C remaining open through the slot 34. However, the embodiment according to the invention is not limited to this. In a further embodiment, the plug-in opening 33 need not be continuously connected to the slot 34, provided that the inserted identification tag C can remain open through the slot 34.
[0018] The utility model is not limited to the embodiments shown, but can be highly variable within the scope of the disclosure. In this context, all new individual and combination features disclosed in the description and drawings are considered essential to the invention. Only the following claims are valid for the scope of protection of the present utility model.
