Description
'POOL BOX HAVING PIVOTAL INNER FRAMES
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a tool box that has two pivotal inner frames which are pivoted upward together with the opening of the cover.
BACKGROUND OF TIDE INVENTION
Many conventional tool boxes include a base and a cover which is pivotally connected to the base. The base and the cover have recesses for receiving tools therein. However, the users have to brick the tools or the bits by his/her finger from the recesses and there is only a limited space to allow IO fingers to insert therein. Besides, the number of the recesses is limited if the recesses are defined in the base and the cover. Some tool boxes have an inner frame which is pivotally c~nnec-ted to the base so that more tools can be stored in the tool boxes. Nevertheless, there is a complicated structure to set the inner frame in the tool box and this complicated structure generally includes many thin and tiny parts which are easily to be broken when using the tool boxes.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
yn accordance with one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a tool box which comprises a base and a cover is pivotally connected to the base. Two lugs extend from the cover and two shafts extend through two sides of the base and the two lugs. An inner frame has two sidewalk and a rack is connected between the two sidewalk. A slot is defined through each of the sidewalk and two operation members are connected between the two sidewails and the two lugs. The two shafts further extend through the two operation members and two respective: ends of the two sidewalls. Each of the operation members has a protrusion which is engaged with the slot corresponding thereto.
The primary object of the present invention is to provide a tool box that has an inner frame which is pivoted upward when the cover is opened wide.
The present invention will become more obvious from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings which show, for purposes of illustration s~nly, a preferred embodiment in accordance with the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION ~F THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Referring to Figs. 1 and 2, the tool box 1 of the present invention comprises a base 30 and a cover 10 is pivotally connected to the base 30. The base 30 has four sides and one of which has two slits so as to receive two lugs 100 on the cover 10. The base 30 has recesses for receiving tool handles.
I O Two notches 31 are defined an two opposite insides of the base 30. 'Two shafts 50 extend through the two opposite sides of the base 30 and the two lugs 100.
An inner frame 2 has two sidewalk 20 and ~. first rack 60 is connected between the tw~ sidewalk 20. A plurality of. recesses 24 are defined in the first rack 60 so as to receive bits 25 therein. A slot 21 is defined through each of the sidewalk 20 and two operation members 40 are connected between the two sidewalk 20 and the two ~~ags 100. The two shafts 50 further extend through the two operation members 40 and two respective ends of the two sidewalk 20. Each of the operation members 40 has a protrusion 41 which is engaged with the slot 21 corresponding thereto. The two lugs 100 and the two operation members 40 each have an elongate hole 101/42, the two shafts 50 each having two plain surfaces which are matched with the elongate holes I01, 42. The two sidewalls 20 each have a rib 23 extending from an outside thereof so as to be disengagably received in the two notches 3 I . The inner frame 2 is well positioned un the base 30.
A second rack 60' has two rods 61 ~ on two ends thereof and the second rack 60' is pivotally connected between the two sidewalk 20. Two links 27 are pivotally connected between the first rack 60 and the second rack 60'. The second rack 60' has a plurality of recesses 62 for receiving bits therein.
As shovu~n in Figs. 3 and 6, when opening the cover 10, the protrusions 41 move in the slots 21 and the inner frame 2 is not pivoted when the protrusions 41 do not move to the respective ends of the slots 21.
As shown in Fig. 4, when the protrusions 41 move to touch the ends of the slots 21, the inner frame 2 is pivoted upward together with the opening of the cover 10. The users may pivot the first rack 60 and the second rack 60' to pick the desired bits 25.
A clamp member 70 has an engaging head 71 extending from a side thereof and a receiving port 72 is connected to an underside of the base 30 so that the engaging head 71 is engaged with the receiving port 72. The clamp member 70 allows the tool box to be conveniently clarr~ped to the user's belt.
As shown in Fig. S, the first rack 60 and the second rack 60' are connection to the base 30 in dependently and connected by connection plates 27 so that when the two racks 60 and 60' can be pivoted upward simultaneously.
Fig. 7 shows that the ribs as shown in Fi,g. 1 can be replaced by semi-spheres 23' which are received in the semi-spherical recesses 31' in the base 30.
While we have shown and described the err~bodiment in accordance with the present invention, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that further embodiments may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.

I O Two notches 31 are defined an two opposite insides of the base 30. 'Two shafts 50 extend through the two opposite sides of the base 30 and the two lugs 100.
An inner frame 2 has two sidewalk 20 and ~. first rack 60 is connected between the tw~ sidewalk 20. A plurality of. recesses 24 are defined in the first rack 60 so as to receive bits 25 therein. A slot 21 is defined through each of the sidewalk 20 and two operation members 40 are connected between the two sidewalk 20 and the two ~~ags 100. The two shafts 50 further extend through the two operation members 40 and two respective ends of the two sidewalk 20. Each of the operation members 40 has a protrusion 41 which is engaged with the slot 21 corresponding thereto. The two lugs 100 and the two operation members 40 each have an elongate hole 101/42, the two shafts 50 each having two plain surfaces which are matched with the elongate holes I01, 42. The two sidewalls 20 each have a rib 23 extending from an outside thereof so as to be disengagably received in the two notches 3 I . The inner frame 2 is well positioned un the base 30.
A second rack 60' has two rods 61 ~ on two ends thereof and the second rack 60' is pivotally connected between the two sidewalk 20. Two links 27 are pivotally connected between the first rack 60 and the second rack 60'. The second rack 60' has a plurality of recesses 62 for receiving bits therein.
