  • the lower box of the female box advantageously protrudes slightly from the female box and can thus serve as the bottom step of a stepladder, the base of the male box placed on the female box that can be used as a second step and the work plan as a third step.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide an improved toolbox of the aforementioned type.
  • the male box comprises, in the spacing between the two lateral series of drawers, a tiltable and removable tray equipped with at least two means forming a tilting hinge on the base of the male box, arranged in two opposite sides, said tiltable and removable container being tiltable to one side, up to a stop and, towards the other side, until it can be removed from the male box.
  • the removable and tiltable container is provided with at least two feet arranged on two opposite sides and affecting the shape of a rib which is arranged so as to engage in corresponding grooves made in the base of said male box. .
  • the tiltable and removable container has four opposite feet, two by two, which affect the shape of a rib which can be engaged in corresponding grooves made in the base of the male box, so as to form two opposite tilting hinges.
  • the stop forming the tilting stop to one side is arranged on the inner surface of the upper wall of the male box.
  • the user can tilt said tray to remove the tools he needs, without the tray tipping over completely and leaving its housing.
  • the user can tilt the tray and remove it from its housing, without being hampered by a stopper, in order to take the tray with it.
  • said tiltable and removable container has two perforations into which it is possible to introduce the snap hooks of a strap. In this way, the user can hang said container on his shoulder.
  • the strap is advantageously a strap which also serves transport the toolbox in the closed state, using suitable hooking elements.
  • said tiltable and removable container comprises at least two compartments. It can also be provided on at least one of its front or rear faces with a handle or a notch in said face acting as a handle.
  • the tool box 1 in accordance with the present invention is shown in the closed state, that is to say the male box 10 inserted into the female box 50.
  • the female box 50 has an essentially parallelipipedic shape, the front 51 and rear 52 faces of which are perforated and the two opposite lateral faces 53, 54 of which have guide grooves 55 and 56, as shown in FIG. 2.
  • the box female 50 comprises, at its lower part, a box 58 intended to receive heavy tools such as a drilling machine, a jigsaw, etc.
  • the box 58 advantageously projects from the front 51 and rear 52 faces in order to widen the base of the toolbox to ensure better stability and in order to form a step ladder 59.
  • the male box 10 also has an essentially parallelipiped shape and is arranged so that it can slide in the female box to retract therein up to the level of the box 58. It has ribs on two opposite lateral faces 11 and 12 guide 13 and 14 which can engage in the corresponding grooves 55 and 56 of the female box 50 for a position of the male box 10 relative to said female box 50.
  • the grooves 55 and 56 as well as the ribs 13 and 14 are arranged such that for a position of the male box 10 relative to the female box 50, in which the male box 10 is offset by a rotation angle of 180 ° around a vertical axis relative to the position in which it engages in the female box 50, said male box 10 no longer engages in said female box 50, but rests on it.
  • the ribs 13 and 14 of the male box 10 rest on the projecting parts 60 and 61 of the female box.
  • the male box 10 also comprises two lateral series 15 and 16 of drawers 17 arranged one below the other, the two series 15 and 16 being spaced from one another.
  • the upper face of the male box constitutes the work surface 18 of a workbench and, when the male box is retracted into the female box 50, the cover of the tool box. It can also be used as the last step of a stepladder.
  • the work surface 18 is provided with a retractable handle or an opening 19 allowing the passage of the hand, which facilitates the transport of said tool box according to the present invention.
  • Said work plan 18 may also have a notch 18 ′ which facilitates access to the last step, when used as a stepladder.
  • each series of drawers 15 or 16 there is provided at the upper part, an empty location 19 intended to facilitate the mounting of a vice or a clamp, for example.
  • the male box 10 comprises, in the space between the two series of drawers 15 and 16, a removable and tiltable tray 20. This is shown in detail in Figure 6. It is provided with four opposite feet 21, two by two, which engage in corresponding grooves 22 ( Figure 5) made in the base of said male box 10. The feet in the form of ribs 21 and the corresponding grooves 22 are arranged so as to form two opposite tilting hinges on the front and rear of the toolbox 1.
  • the user can easily tilt the removable tray 20 on a hinge 21-22 by taking it by an appropriate handle or an opening 23, to remove a tool which is stored there.
  • said tilting is blocked, on the side of the front face, by a stop 31 arranged on the inner face of the work surface 18.
  • the user if the user intends to move away from his workbench to perform a work, he can remove the tray 20 from the rear of the male box 10 and take said tray 20 with him.
  • said removable and tiltable container 20 is provided with two perforations 24 into which carabiners can be inserted attached to the ends of a strap, so as to be able to suspend said container 20 on the shoulder of the user for example.
  • Said strap (not shown) can also be used to carry the tool box in the closed state, for example by hanging it on rings or similar means integral with the female box 50.
  • the tray 20 has two compartments 25 and 26 for the storage of tools or other objects.
  • the female box can be provided with two or more quick fixing devices 62 (for example latches or trunk clasps) which can engage in notches 27 made in the male box 10.
  • These quick fixing means 62 can also secure the assembly in the closed state by engaging in notches 28 made in the work surface 18.
  • the work surface 18 may also include a slot 29 intended to receive a hand support 30, preferably removable, intended to constitute a support point when the assembly is used as a stepladder.
  • the toolbox according to the present invention can be made of various materials, such as for example a synthetic material such as PVC.
