ABSTRACT:

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to a wood planing machine with a tool accommodating function, more particularly to a wood planing machine having an upper portion provided with a tool box.
2. Description of the Related Art
With reference to
FIG. 1
, a conventional wood planing machine
10
generally includes a pair of upright threaded rods
11
(only one is shown) disposed at opposite end portions thereof and linked by a drive chain (not shown), an upper cover
12
, a hand wheel
13
disposed on one side of the upper cover
12
and coupled to the threaded rods
11
, and a cutter carriage
14
mounted on the threaded rods
11
. The cutter carriage
14
has a planing cutter (not shown) disposed at a bottom portion thereof to plane a workpiece (not shown). The hand wheel
13
is operable to rotate the threaded rods
11
to result in vertical movement of the cutter carriage
14
along the threaded rods
11
for cutting the workpiece at a determined level.
However, the conventional planing machine
10
is not constructed to have a tool accommodating space for holding tools, such as screw drivers, spanners, and blades, which are necessary for maintaining the planing machine
10
or replacement of parts thereof. Without a fixed place to keep the necessary tools, the tools are often scattered on or around the planing machine
10
, and the user may take a long time to find a suitable tool, hence resulting in poor work efficiency.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Therefore, the main object of the present invention is to provide a wood planing machine with a tool accommodating function to facilitate use.
Accordingly, a wood planing machine with a tool accommodating function of the present invention includes a machine frame having an upper portion, and a tool box having a lower box body mounted securely on the upper portion of the machine frame. The lower box body confines a tool accommodating space adapted to receive tools therein, and has an open top side. The tool box further includes an upper cover body with a rear side edge hinged to the lower box body. The upper cover body is movable relative to the lower box body so as to selectively open and close the open top side of the lower box body.
