Description
COMBINATION BOX FOR HOLDING
ARTICLES MADE OF METALS
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates generally to a box for holding articles made of metals, and more particularly to a combination box for holding articles made of metals, such as nails, screws, nuts, bolts, rivets, hooks, etc.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
A construction worker is often required to carry with him or her a variety of parts of different specifications. In order to enhance the work efficiency of the construction worker, these parts must be carried in a container in an organized manner.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is therefore the primary objective of the present invention to provide a combination box for holding articles of metals in an organized manner.
In keeping with the principle of the present invention, the foregoing objective of the present invention is attained by a combination box comprising a main container and a plurality of auxiliary containers which are fastened with the outer walls of the main container. The main container is of a polygonal construction and is provided at the top thereof with-a top container. The combination box of the present invention is thus capable of holding a variety of metal parts or pieces in an organized manner.
The foregoing objectives, features, functions, and advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood upon a thoughtful deliberation of the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENT
As shown in FIGS. I and 2, a combination box embodied in the present invention comprises a main container 10 and a plurality of auxiliary containers 20.
The main container 10 is a polygonal cylindrical body 101 and is provided at the top thereof with a top container 102 which is greater in outer diameter than the body 1 O l. Located at the junction between the top container 102 and the polygonal cylindrical body 101 is a protruded edge 103. The polygonal cylindrical body 101 is provided at the bottom thereof with a locating piece 30 fastened therewith. The auxiliary containers 20 are fastened with the outer walls 104 of the polygonal cylindrical body 101 by the protruded edge 103 and the locating piece 30. Each of the outer walls 104 is provided with a plurality of retaining protrusions 1 05, whereas the locating piece 30 is provided in the periphery thereof with a plurality of retaining hooks 301 corresponding in location to the retaining protrusions 105.
The auxiliary containers 20 are provided with a plurality of retaining slots 201 and 202 each having at one end thereof an arresting edge 203. Each auxiliary container 20 is fastened with the outer wall 104 of the polygonal cylindrical body 101 such that the retaining slot 202 is engaged with the retaining hook 301 of the locating piece 30, and that the retaining slot 201 is engaged with the retaining protrusions 1 OS of the outer wall 104.
The top container 102 is provided with an organizer 106 to faciiitate the holding of parts or small hand tools.
As shown in FIGS. 3, 4, and 5, the top of each auxiliary container 20 can be pulled outwards to cause the retaining protrusions 105 to disengage the retaining slot 201 of the auxiliary container 20.
Thereafter, the auxiliary container 20 is pulled upwards to cause the retaining hook 301 of the locating piece 30 to disengage the retaining slot 202 of the auxiliary container 20. As a result, the metal parts contained in the auxiliary container 20 can be taken out easily.
The embodiment of the present invention described above is to be regarded in all respects as being merely illustrative and not restrictive.
Accordingly, the present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without deviating from the spirit thereof. The present invention is therefore to be limited only by the scopes of the following appended claims.
