Tool box with storage members
View Patent ↗A tool box includes two pivoted halves, at least one of which has a chamber with a bottom and two opposite walls. Plural positioning units are disposed on the walls and each include a straight guide groove, a guide gap and a positioning cavity at two ends of the straight guide groove, a first pivot cavity located closer to the bottom than the positioning cavity, a second pivot cavity between the positioning cavity and a positioning cavity of a neighboring positioning unit, and an arc-shaped guide groove covering the first and second pivot cavities. The arc-shaped guide groove has two arc-shaped ends to connect the first pivot cavity and a straight guide groove of the neighboring positioning unit. The storage member has pivots pivotally disposed in the first pivot cavity and the positioning cavity, or in the first or second pivot cavity of the neighboring positioning unit.
1. A tool box with storage members comprising:
two halves pivoted to each other to form the tool box and capable of being opened and closed with respect to each other, at least one of the two halves being formed with a chamber which includes a bottom and two opposite walls;
a plurality of positioning units disposed on the two walls, and each including a straight guide groove which is formed in the walls and located in a first direction, a guide gap which is formed at one end of the straight guide groove and located in the first direction, a positioning cavity which is formed at another end of the straight guide groove, disposed in the first direction and located closer to the bottom than the guide gap, a first pivot cavity which is formed in the walls, disposed in the first direction and located closer to the bottom than the positioning cavity, a second pivot cavity which is formed in the walls and located between the positioning cavity and a positioning cavity of a neighboring positioning unit, and an arc-shaped guide groove which is formed in the walls and covers the first and second pivot cavities, the arc-shaped guide groove including a first arc-shaped end at which the first pivot cavity is located, and a second arc-shaped end which is in communication with a straight guide groove of the neighboring positioning unit; and
at least one said storage member removably and pivotally disposed in the chamber, and including at least one tool-insertion cavity and two lateral surfaces located toward the two walls, each of the lateral surfaces including a first pivot which is pivotally disposed in the first pivot cavity, and a second pivot which is pivotally disposed in the positioning cavity, or in the first or second pivot cavity of the neighboring positioning unit;
wherein the straight guide grooves which are formed in the walls of the tool box are in parallel to one another and perpendicular to the bottom of the chamber of the tool box.
2. The tool box with storage members as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the positioning cavity of the straight guide groove is provided with an inclined guide surface which is located within the arc-shaped guide groove.
3. The tool box with storage members as claimed in claim 1 , wherein distances from the first pivot cavity to the positioning cavity, to the first pivot cavity of the neighboring positioning unit, and to the second pivot cavity of the neighboring positioning unit, are the same.
