ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to tool kit and more particularly to a compartmented tool kit structure.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
A conventional tool kit has a generally U-shaped section with a storing space therein for keeping tools, a U-shaped divider put on edges for dividing storing space into two smaller storing spaces, and a cover hinged to a side such that cover may close the tool kit when not in use. But this is unsatisfactory for the purpose for which the invention is concerned for the following reasons: 1. Such simple upper and lower storing spaces are not enough. It is often messy and thus time consuming in finding the desired tool. In brief, it does not allow user to customize the division of storing space to suit the user's particular storing needs and access priorities. 2. It is impossible to store a tool having a larger end in upper or lower storing space. That is, the U-shaped divider must be removed in order to leave the whole space for storing such a single tool, thereby neutralizing the U-shaped divider.
In view of the foregoing, the storing space of conventional tool kit does not perform well. Thus improvement exists.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved tool kit structure comprising two wave-shaped members on two opposed sides of storing space and a plurality of dividers removably provided between two opposed wave-shaped members. Such removeable adjustable dividers allow user to customize the division of storing space to suit the user's particular storing needs and access priorities. Thus a neat storing space is provided, resulting in an increase of the number of tools stored and a quick access. Moreover, a tool with a larger end may have the larger end penetrate through a hole of divider such that the other side of divider may still be employed to store other tools, thereby eliminating the conventional drawback of leaving the whole space for storing such a single large tool.
It is another object of the present invention to provide an improved tool kit structure wherein cover has two spaced cylindrical projections in the inner top surface and divider has two apertures corresponding and releasably secured to the cylindrical projections such that divider may not separate from cover when closing the tool kit. Further, divider may be provided between the wave-shaped members of cover when cover is opened, thereby forming a storing space in the cover.
The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description taken with the accompanying drawings.
