Abstract

A tool box includes two pivoted halves and a chamber with a bottom and two opposite walls. A plurality of positioning units formed in the walls each include a positioning cavity located in one direction, a first guide groove located farther from the bottom than the positioning cavity, a first pivot cavity at one end of the first guide groove and located in the one direction, a second pivot cavity formed at another end of the first guide groove and located in another direction, a second guide groove and located between the first pivot and positioning cavities, a third pivot cavity formed at one end of the second guide groove, located in the two directions and disposed between the first pivot and positioning cavities, and a fourth pivot cavity formed at another end of the second guide groove and located between the second pivot cavity and the bottom.

Claims (8)

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 walls, and each of the positioning units including a positioning cavity which is formed in the walls and located in a first direction, a first arc-shaped guide groove which is formed in the walls and located farther from the bottom than the positioning cavity, a first pivot cavity which is formed at one end of the first arc-shaped guide groove and located in the first direction, a second pivot cavity which is formed at another end of the first arc-shaped guide groove and located in a second direction, a second arc-shaped guide groove which is formed in the walls and located between the first pivot cavity and the positioning cavity, a third pivot cavity which is formed at one end of the second arc-shaped guide groove, located in both the first and second directions, and disposed between the first pivot cavity and the positioning cavity, and a fourth pivot cavity which is formed at another end of the second arc-shaped guide groove and located between the second pivot cavity and the bottom;

at least one said storage member pivotally and removably 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 surface including a first pivot and a second pivot, when the first pivot is pivotally disposed in the positioning cavity, the second pivot is positioned in the third or fourth pivot cavities, when the first pivot is disposed in the third pivot cavity, the second pivot will be positioned in the first or second pivot cavities;

wherein the first pivot cavity, the third pivot cavity and the positioning cavity of each of the positioning units are located along a straight line perpendicular to the bottom of the chamber of the tool box, and the connecting lines of the positioning units are parallel to one another.

2. The tool box with storage members as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

3. The tool box with storage members as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a distance from the positioning cavity to the third pivot cavity is equal to a distance from the positioning cavity to the fourth pivot cavity.

4. The tool box with storage members as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a distance from the third pivot cavity to the first pivot cavity is equal to a distance from the third pivot cavity to the second pivot cavity.
