Abstract

A tool box includes a main body formed with a plurality of receiving recesses for receiving and locking a plurality of sockets. Each of the receiving recesses has a first wall formed with a first locking portion and a second wall formed with a second locking portion. Each of the sockets has a first end locked on the first locking portion of the respective receiving recess and a second end locked on the second locking portion of the respective receiving recess. Thus, the first locking portion and the second locking portion form a three-point locking effect, so that the socket is positioned in the respective receiving recess rigidly and stably without sway.

Claims

 a main body formed with a plurality of receiving recesses; and    a plurality of sockets each mounted in a respective one of the receiving recesses, wherein:    each of the receiving recesses has a first wall formed with a first locking portion and a second wall formed with a second locking portion; and    each of the sockets has a first end locked on the first locking portion of the respective receiving recess and a second end locked on the second locking portion of the respective receiving recess.    
   
   
       2 . The tool box in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the first end of each of the sockets is formed with a first hole to receive the first locking portion of the respective receiving recess, and the second end of each of the sockets is formed with a second hole to receive the second locking portion of the respective receiving recess.  
   
   
       3 . The tool box in accordance with  claim 2 , wherein the first locking portion of each of the receiving recesses is provided with a semi-circular first locking block locked in the first hole of the first end of the respective socket.  
   
   
       4 . The tool box in accordance with  claim 2 , wherein the second locking portion of each of the receiving recesses is provided with two semi-circular second locking blocks locked in the second hole of the second end of the respective socket.  
   
   
       5 . The tool box in accordance with  claim 4 , wherein the two second locking blocks are spaced from each other.  
   
   
       6 . The tool box in accordance with  claim 4 , wherein each of the two second locking blocks is flexible.  
   
   
       7 . The tool box in accordance with  claim 2 , wherein the second locking portion of each of the receiving recesses is provided with two second locking blocks each locked on a periphery of the second hole of the second end of the respective socket.  
   
   
       8 . The tool box in accordance with  claim 7 , wherein each of the two second locking blocks is formed with a locking groove to lock the periphery of the second hole of the second end of the respective socket.  
   
   
       9 . The tool box in accordance with  claim 7 , wherein the two second locking blocks are spaced from each other.  
   
   
       10 . The tool box in accordance with  claim 7 , wherein each of the two second locking blocks is flexible.  
   
   
       11 . The tool box in accordance with  claim 2 , wherein the first locking portion of each of the receiving recesses is provided with an arc-shaped first locking plate locked in the first hole of the first end of the respective socket.  
   
   
       12 . The tool box in accordance with  claim 11 , wherein the first locking plate of the first locking portion of each of the receiving recesses has a first end extended from the first wall and a second end formed with a first gap, so that first locking plate is flexible.  
   
   
       13 . The tool box in accordance with  claim 2 , wherein the second locking portion of each of the receiving recesses is provided with two arc-shaped second locking plates locked in the second hole of the second end of the respective socket.  
   
   
       14 . The tool box in accordance with  claim 13 , wherein each of the two second locking plates of the second locking portion of each of the receiving recesses has a first end extended from the second wall and a second end formed with a second gap, so that each of the two second locking plates is flexible.  
   
   
       15 . The tool box in accordance with  claim 2 , wherein the first hole of the first end of each of the sockets has a square shape.  
   
   
       16 . The tool box in accordance with  claim 2 , wherein the first hole of the first end of each of the sockets has a hexagonal shape.  
   
   
       17 . The tool box in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the main body is a top cover.
