Abstract

A toolbox assembly 10 which is adapted to allow material to be easily and securely stored and retrieved and which is aesthetically pleasing and structurally sound.

Claims (6)

1. A toolbox assembly having a body; and at least one drawer which is movably disposed within said body and wherein said at least one drawer comprises a planar bottom member having four peripheral edges; a pair of planar side members which are respectively coupled and are respectively linearly coextensive to opposed first and second edges of said four peripheral edges of said planar bottom member and wherein a second of said pair of planar side members has a first edge which forms a right angle with a third of said four peripheral edges of said planar bottom member and wherein a second of said pair of planar side members has a first edge which forms a right angle with said third of said four peripheral edges of said planar bottom member and wherein a second of said pair of planar side members has a first edge which also forms a right angle which said third of said four peripheral edges of said planar bottom member; a planar back member which is coupled to a fourth of said four peripheral edges of said planar bottom member and which is coupled to said pair of said planar side members; a front member having a planar front surface and bottom edge which terminates into an “S” shaped lip portion, wherein said lip portion has a first portion which is linearly coextensive to and which orthogonally projects from said bottom edge of said front member, a second portion which is linearly coextensive to and which orthogonally projects from said first portion and which is parallel to said planar front surface of said front member, and a third portion which is linearly coextensive to and which orthogonally projects from said second portion and which is parallel to said first portion and wherein said first, second, and third portions cooperate with said planar front surface of said front member to form a trough which is linearly coextensive to said planar front surface of said front member and which is positioned between said planar front surface of said front member and said second portion, and wherein said planar front surface of said front member includes a pair of opposed side edges which are respectively coupled to said first edge of said first of said pair of planar side members and to said first edge of said second of said pair of planar side members, and wherein said planar bottom member overlays said third portion of said “S” shaped lip portion and is coupled to said third portion of said “S” shaped lip portion, thereby allowing said bottom members, said front member, said side members, and said back member to cooperatively form a storage cavity and wherein said at least one drawer further comprises a planar reinforcement member which overlays without entering said trough and which is coupled to a back surface of said planar front member which is opposite to said front surface of said planar front member and which is thereby disposed within said formed storage cavity; and wherein said at least one drawer further comprising a plurality of substantially identical channel members which are coupled to a first broad surface of said bottom member and wherein said third portion of said “S” shaped lip portion is also coupled to said first broad surface of said bottom member and wherein said third portion of said “S” shaped lip portion and said plurality of channel members are each outside of said formed storage cavity and wherein said plurality of channel members are equidistantly disposed upon said first broad surface, and wherein each of said channel members have respective undulating surfaces which are coupled to said first broad surface of said bottom member.

2. The toolbox assembly of claim 1 further comprising a trim member which is coupled to said planar front surface of said front member.

3. The toolbox assembly of claim 1 wherein said back member further includes a circumferential ledge which resides outside of said cooperatively formed cavity.

4. A toolbox assembly having a body; and at least one drawer which is movably disposed within said body and wherein said at least one drawer comprises a planar bottom member having four peripheral edges; a pair of planar side members which are respectively coupled and are respectively linearly coextensive to opposed first and second edges of said four peripheral edges of said planar bottom member and wherein a second of said pair of planar side members has a first edge which forms a right angle with a third of said four peripheral edges of said planar bottom member and wherein a second of said pair of planar side members has a first edge which forms a right angle with said third of said four peripheral edges of said planar bottom member and wherein a second of said pair of planar side members has a first edge which also forms a right angle which said third of said four peripheral edges of said planar bottom member; a planar back member which is coupled to a fourth of said four peripheral edges of said planar bottom member and which is coupled to said pair of said planar side members; a front member having a planar front surface and bottom edge which terminates into an “S” shaped lip portion, wherein said lip portion has a first portion which is linearly coextensive to and which orthogonally projects from said bottom edge of said front member, a second portion which is linearly coextensive to and which orthogonally projects from said first portion and which is parallel to said planar front surface of said front member, and a third portion which is linearly coextensive to and which orthogonally projects from said second portion and which is parallel to said first portion and wherein said first, second, and third portions cooperate with said planar front surface of said front member to form a trough which is linearly coextensive to said planar front surface of said front member and which is positioned between said planar front surface of said front member and said second portion, and wherein said planar front surface of said front member includes a pair of opposed side edges which are respectively coupled to said first edge of said first of said pair of planar side members and to said first edge of said second of said pair of planar side members, and wherein said planar bottom member overlays said third portion of said “S” shaped lip portion and is coupled to said third portion of said “S” shaped lip portion, thereby allowing said bottom members, said front member, said side members, and said back member to cooperatively form a storage cavity and wherein said at least one drawer further comprises a planar reinforcement member which is received within said trough and which is coupled to a back surface of said planar front member which is opposite to said front surface of said planar front member and which is thereby disposed within said formed storage cavity; and wherein said at least one drawer further comprising a plurality of substantially identical channel members which are coupled to a first broad surface of said bottom member and wherein said third portion of said “S” shaped lip portion is also coupled to said first broad surface of said bottom member and wherein said third portion of said “S” shaped lip portion and said plurality of channel members are each outside of said formed storage cavity and wherein said plurality of channel members are equidistantly disposed upon said first broad surface, and wherein each of said channel members have respective undulating surfaces which are coupled to said first broad surface of said bottom member.

5. The toolbox assembly of claim 4 further comprising a trim member which is coupled to said planar front surface of said front member.

6. The toolbox assembly of claim 5 wherein said back member further includes a circumferential ledge resides outside of said cooperatively formed cavity.
