Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to toolboxes, and in
particular to a light reflected toolbox, which metal reflecting
plates are adhered to the surface of the toolbox body, the toolbox
can be found easily and rapidly at night. Furthermore, the metal
light reflecting plates are lower than the surfaces of the toolbox
so that the reflecting plates will not wear and thus the reflecting
functions can be retained for a long time. Moreover slide stop
portions are formed on the toolbox so as to have the affect of
retaining the toolbox body on a surface.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Handtools are necessary for many workers, even people
traveling outdoors need handtools for overcoming some difficulties.
Generally, the workers need carry a plurality of handtools at a
time. Thus, the handtool box is developed for receiving a plurality
of handtools at one time.
[0003] However the prior art handtool boxes have simple structures,
such as a cover and a receiving tank. The handtools are placed in
the box irregularly. Furthermore, the handtool box has a dark
outlook so that as the worker works at a dark environment, he (or
she) cannot find the box or take some time to find it. All these
make troublesome to workers. Thereby the outer surface of the
handtool box is smooth. It is not slide stop and thus cannot be
firmly positioned.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0004] Accordingly, the primary object of the present invention is
to provide a light reflected toolbox, which metal reflecting plates
are adhered to the surface of the toolbox body, the tool box can be
found easily and rapidly at night. Furthermore, the metal light
reflecting plates are lower than the surfaces of the toolbox so
that the reflecting plates will not wear and the reflecting
functions can be retained for a long time. Moreover slide stop
portions are formed to have the affect of retaining the toolbox
body on a surface.
[0005] To achieve above objects, the present invention provides a
light reflected toolbox which comprises a toolbox body includes a
lower box and a cover which are closeably and openably pivoted;
each outer surface of the lower box and cover is formed with a
groove; a middle portion of the groove being adhered with a light
reflecting plate. At least one receiving spaces is formed at the
container formed by the lower box and cover. Each of the left and
right portions of the lower box and cover is formed with a U shape
recess; and each U shape recess is adhere with an U shape metal
reflecting plate. Each of left and right portions of the pivoted
portion of the cover and lower box has a respective buckle; and a
surface of each buckle having an arrow indication for identifying
open and close state. The light emitting plate in the groove is
lower than the respective surface of the toolbox.
[0006] The various objects and advantages of the present invention
will be more readily understood from the following detailed
description when read in conjunction with the appended drawing.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0013] In order that those skilled in the art can further
understand the present invention, a description will be described
in the following in details. However, these descriptions and the
appended drawings are only used to cause those skilled in the art
to understand the objects, features, and characteristics of the
present invention, but not to be used to confine the scope and
spirit of the present invention defined in the appended claims.
[0014] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 5, the present invention has the
following elements.
[0015] A toolbox body 1 includes a lower box 2 and a cover 3 which
are closeably and openably pivoted. Each of left and right portions
of the pivoted portion of the cover 3 and lower box 2 has a
respective buckle 4. A middle portion of the pivoted portion has a
handle 5. A surface of each buckle 4 has an arrow indication 41 for
identifying open and close state. A plurality of receiving spaces 6
are formed at the container formed by the lower box 2 and cover 3,
as shown in FIG. 4. The receiving spaces 6 have shapes
corresponding to shapes of hand tools so that the hand tools can be
firmly retained therein.
[0016] Furthermore, each outer surface of the lower box 2 and cover
3 is formed with a groove 7. The left and right portions of the
groove 7 are formed with slide stop portions 8 which are formed by
a plurality of strips. The other portion of the groove 7 is adhered
with a metal light reflecting plate 9. An upper end of each strip
is flushed with the surface of the lower box 2 or cover 3 and is
higher than the metal light reflecting plate 9. Each of the left
and right portions of the lower box 2 and cover 3 is formed with a
U shape recess 10. Each U shape recess 10 is adhered (or buckled)
with a U shape metal reflecting plate 11. Preferably, the U shape
metal reflecting plate 11 is lower than the surface of the lower
box 2 or the cover 3. In another example, as illustrated in FIG. 5,
two ends of each U shape metal reflecting plate 11 are formed with
respective hooks 111 for hooking a respective edge of the cover 3
and lower box 2 so as to from a light reflected tool box.
[0017] The affect of the present invention will be illustrated
herein with referring to FIG. 6.
[0018] Since the U shape metal reflecting plates 11 and metal light
reflecting plate 9 are adhered to the surface of the toolbox body
1, the toolbox can be found easily and rapidly at night.
[0019] Furthermore, the metal light reflecting plate 9 and U shape
metal reflecting plates 11 are lower than the surfaces of the lower
box 2 and cover 3 so that the reflecting plates will not wear so
that the reflecting functions can be retained for a long time.
[0020] The slide stop portions 8 at two sides of the grooves 7 have
the affect of retaining the toolbox body on a surface.
[0021] The present invention is thus described, it will be obvious
that the same may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not
to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the
present invention, and all such modifications as would be obvious
to one skilled in the art are intended to be included within the
scope of the following claims.
