ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a tool kit with illuminating function, and more particularly to a tool kit having a tool connecting section detachably connected with a tool kit. A cover board serves to prevent the tool heads from dropping out of the tool kit.
FIGS. 6 and 7
show a conventional screwdriver with illuminating function. The screwdriver has a grip
8
made of transparent material. The center of the front end of the grip
8
is disposed with an elongated tool stem
81
. The periphery of the tool stem
81
is formed with multiple engaging holes
82
for engaging with a tool head
7
. A kit of tool heads
7
can be placed at the end section of the tool stem
81
. The outer periphery of the front section of the grip
8
is disposed with an engaging groove
83
. A flange
841
of a transparent cover shade
84
can be engaged into the engaging groove to make the cover shade
84
cover the front section of the grip
8
and prevent the tool head
7
from dropping out. An illuminating device
9
is disposed in the grip
8
. A bottom cap
85
is screwed with the rear end of the grip
8
. The center of the bottom cap
85
is disposed with a resilient push button
86
for touching and controlling the switch
91
of the illuminating device
9
, whereby the light of the illuminating device
9
can be projected toward the front side of the grip
8
to provide illumination in working.
In the above screwdriver, the tool heads
7
are placed in the engaging holes
82
. However, when replacing and taking out the tool head
7
, it is necessary to open the entire cover shade
84
and take out the cover shade along the tool stem
81
. After the tool head
7
is taken out, the cover shade
84
is again fitted back through the tool stem
81
. Therefore, it is inconvenient to take out the tool head
7
. Moreover, in practice, in order to avoid the tool head
7
from unexpectedly dropping out, the tool head
7
must be tightly fitted in the engaging hole
82
. Therefore, it costs greater strength to extract out the tool head
7
.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is therefore a primary object of the present invention to provide a tool kit with illuminating function. The tool kit is tightened and fixed by a fixing cap and user can rotate a cover board to align a taking hole thereof with the engaging hole of the main body of the tool kit so as to conveniently take out the tool head. When the taking hole is disaligned from the engaging hole, the tool head is prevented from dropping out so that the kit of tool heads can be reliably located in the tool kit.
According to the above object, the tool kit with illuminating function of the present invention includes:
a hollow grip for receiving therein an illuminating cell unit, two ends of the grip being formed with outer threads;
a bottom cap screwed on the outer thread of the rear end of the grip, a center of the bottom cap being disposed with a resilient push button for pressing the illuminating cell unit to control on/off of the power therefor; and
a transparent cover shade having a tool connecting section and a grip connecting section, the tool connecting section having an elongated tool stem, an end section of the tool stem being replaceably connected with a kit of tool heads, the transparent cover shade being passed through a top cap which is screwed on the outer thread of the front end of the grip for fixing the transparent cover shade.
The tool kit is characterized in that the circumference of the tool connecting sect ion of the transparent cover shade is detachably connected with a tool kit. A front end of the tool connecting sect ion being disposed with a fixing cap which can be screwed and tightened. The tool kit is made of transparent material and has a substantially ring-shaped main body formed with multiple internal engaging holes for receiving a kit of tool heads therein. The front end of the main body has a small diameter section on which a cover board is fitted. The cover board is formed with a taking hole which can be aligned with one of the engaging holes by means of rotating the cover board. The entire tool kit is fitted with the tool connecting section and tightened and fixed by the fixing cap.
The present invention can be best understood through the following description and accompanying drawings wherein:
