Tool box structure

Abstract

A tool box structure includes a body defining a receiving space therein, a magnetic conducting plate received in the receiving space of the body, and a magnetic material received in the receiving space of the body and located under the magnetic conducting plate. By such an arrangement, the magnetic material is in contact with the magnetic conducting plate so that a magnetic force from the magnetic material is distributed on an entire region of the magnetic conducting plate.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A tool box structure comprising: 
 a body ( 10 ) defining a receiving space ( 12 ) therein;    a magnetic conducting plate ( 22 ) received in said receiving space ( 12 ) of said body ( 10 ); and    a magnetic material ( 20 ) received in said receiving space ( 12 ) of said body ( 10 ) and located under said magnetic conducting plate ( 22 );    wherein, said magnetic material ( 20 ) is in contact with said magnetic conducting plate ( 22 ) so that a magnetic force from said magnetic material ( 20 ) is distributed on an entire region of said magnetic conducting plate ( 22 ).    
     
     
         2 . The tool box structure in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein said magnetic material ( 20 ) is a permanent magnet.  
     
     
         3 . The tool box structure in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein said receiving space ( 12 ) of said body ( 10 ) has a mediate portion defining a recess ( 14 ) for securing said magnetic material ( 20 ) therein.  
     
     
         4 . The tool box structure in accordance with  claim 1 , further comprising a cover ( 15 ) pivotally mounted on said body ( 10 ) for enclosing said receiving space ( 12 ) of said body ( 10 ).  
     
     
         5 . The tool box structure in accordance with  claim 4 , wherein said body ( 10 ) is provided with two spaced opposite elongated support bars ( 11 ) each defining a pivot hole ( 110 ), and said cover ( 15 ) is supported on said two support bars ( 11 ) and is provided with two spaced opposite pivot axles ( 150 ) each pivotally mounted in said pivot hole ( 110 ) of a respective one of said two support bars ( 11 ) so that said cover ( 15 ) is pivoted on said body ( 10 ) between said two support bars ( 11 ).  
     
     
         6 . The tool box structure in accordance with  claim 1 , further comprising an auxiliary magnetic conducting plate ( 24 ) received in said receiving space ( 12 ) of said body ( 10 ) and beneath said magnetic material ( 20 ), wherein said magnetic material ( 20 ) is in contact with said auxiliary magnetic conducting plate ( 24 ) so that a magnetic force from said magnetic material ( 20 ) is distributed on an entire region of said auxiliary magnetic conducting plate ( 24 ).  
     
     
         7 . The tool box structure in accordance with  claim 6 , wherein said body ( 10 ) is provided with a flange ( 16 ) located in said receiving space ( 12 ) for supporting said magnetic conducting plate ( 22 ).  
     
     
         8 . The tool box structure in accordance with  claim 7 , wherein said flange ( 16 ) of said body ( 10 ) defines an elongated slot ( 18 ) for securing said auxiliary magnetic conducting plate ( 24 ) with said magnet material ( 20 ) being rested between said magnetic conducting plate ( 22 ) and said auxiliary magnetic conducting plate ( 24 ).
