Toolbox for displaying tools

Abstract

A toolbox for displaying tools has a box body, a lid and an adjusting connector secured between the box body and the lid. The adjusting connector has a pivot nub and a pair of pivot pins respectively and selectively connected with the box body and the lid. Thereby, the lid can rotate to different orientations such as different inclinations and plan directions. Moreover, the pivot nub and the pivot pins all have corrugated periphery and the box body and the lid have corresponding corrugated holes to engage with the pivot nub and pivot pins so that the lid can be positioned at the different orientation to display tools in a convenient and versatile manner.

1 . A toolbox for displaying tools, the toolbox comprising: 
 a box body ( 20 );    a lid ( 30 ); and    an adjusting connector ( 10 ) having a pivot nub ( 13 ) and a pair of pivot pins ( 12 ) formed on the adjusting connector ( 10 ), wherein the pivot nub ( 13 ) and the pair of pivot pins ( 12 ) are respectively and pivotally connected with the box body ( 20 ) and the lid ( 30 ).    
   
   
       2 . The toolbox as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the box body ( 20 ) is a parallelepiped with a front edge and a rear edge and having two pivot bases ( 21 ) formed at the rear edge of the box body ( 20 ) to define a space between the two pivot bases, each pivot base ( 21 ) has an inner edge and a corrugated hole defined in the inner edge; 
 the lid ( 30 ) is a parallelepiped with a front edge and a rear edge and having a nub recess ( 31 ) defined in the rear edge of the lid ( 30 );    the adjusting connector ( 10 ) is an elongated rectangular rod with a top face, a bottom face and having: 
 an axle bar ( 11 ) with two ends formed on the bottom face of the adjusting connector ( 10 ) to be received inside the gap between the two pivot bases ( 21 ) on the box body ( 20 );  
 two pivot pins ( 12 ) respectively formed at the two ends of the axle bar ( 11 ) to correspondingly engage the corrugated holes ( 22 ) on the pivot bases ( 21 ); and  
 a pivot nub ( 13 ) formed on the top face of the adjusting connector ( 20 ) to rotatably engage the nub recess ( 31 ) on the lid ( 30 ).  
   
   
   
       3 . The toolbox as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the pivot nub ( 13 ) and the nub recess ( 31 ) both have corrugated peripheries matching with each other.  
   
   
       4 . The toolbox as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the pivot nub ( 13 ) further comprises an enlarged head ( 14 ) and a slit ( 16 ) longitudinally defined in the pivot nub ( 13 ).  
   
   
       5 . The toolbox as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the adjusting connector ( 10 ) further has two stubs ( 15 ) formed on the top face of the adjusting connector ( 10 ); 
 the lid ( 30 ) further has two detents defined on the rear edge of the lid ( 30 ) to correspondingly engage the stubs ( 15 ) on the adjusting connector ( 10 ).    
   
   
       6 . The toolbox as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the lid ( 30 ) further has a clip sheet ( 32 ) formed on the front edge of the lid ( 30 ); 
 the box body ( 20 ) further has a locking block ( 23 ) formed on the front edge of the box body ( 20 ) to detachably engage with the clip sheet ( 32 ) on the lid ( 30 ).    
   
   
       7 . The toolbox as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the box body ( 60 ) is a parallelepiped with a front edge and a rear edge and having a nub hole ( 61 ) defined on the rear edge of the box body ( 60 ); 
 the lid ( 50 ) is a parallelepiped with a front edge and a rear edge and having a recess ( 51 ) defined in the rear edge of the to receive the adjusting connector ( 40 ), wherein the recess ( 51 ) has two opposite inner walls and two corrugated holes ( 52 ) respectively defined in the two opposite inner walls;    the adjusting connector ( 40 ) is an elongated rectangular rod with two ends, a top face, a bottom face and having: 
 two pivot pins ( 41 ) respectively formed at the two ends of the adjusting connector ( 40 ) to correspondingly engage the corrugated holes ( 52 ) in the recess ( 51 ); and  
 a pivot nub ( 43 ) formed on the bottom face of the adjusting connector ( 40 ) to rotatably engage the nub recess ( 61 ) on the box body ( 60 ).  
   
   
   
       8 . The toolbox as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the pivot nub ( 43 ) and the nub recess ( 61 ) both have corrugated peripheries matching with each other.  
   
   
       9 . The toolbox as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the pivot nub ( 43 ) further comprises an enlarged head ( 44 ) and a slit ( 46 ) longitudinally defined in the pivot nub ( 43 ).  
   
   
       10 . The toolbox as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein the lid ( 50 ) further has a clip sheet formed on the front edge of the lid ( 50 ); 
 the box body ( 60 ) further has a locking block formed on the front edge of the box body ( 60 ) to detachably engage with the clip sheet on the lid ( 50 ).
