- The present invention relates to containers, and particularly to portable containers which may be used as toolboxes. It is known to provide toolboxes comprising a container having a base and a lid, the base and lid together defining an internal compartment when the lid is in a closed position. Such a lid may be provided in a variety of forms, for example, it may be a one-piece lid, or may come in multiple pieces which may be hinged together or separable. The lid pieces may be attached to the base in a number of different ways.
- A common way of providing a lid for a toolbox is for the lid to be a one-piece lid, attached to the base by a hinge at one side of the base. When the lid is in a closed position, one or more latches may be fastened in order to hold the lid in a closed position on the base. This type of lid attachment provides a strong and secure closure for a toolbox, which is important to allow the toolbox to retain tools and accessories, which are often heavy and made of metal or similar strong materials. However, this arrangement does not allow the user to remove the lid of the toolbox if desired.
- The present invention provides a container having a base and a lid, the lid being attached to the base by two or more latches, one or more of which may also function as hinges, wherein the user may completely remove the lid of the toolbox by releasing all of the latches. Each of the two or more latches are operable to releaseably latch the lid to the base, and at least one of the latches comprises a hinge fixing which allows the lid to pivot while it is latched to the base by the latch. Two or more latches may each comprise such a hinge fixing.
- The container may comprise two latches, located at opposite sides of the container. Alternatively, the container may comprise three or four latches, each latch located at different sides of the container.
- Each latch comprising a hinge fixing may be linked to the lid by the hinge fixing, and the base may have latch receiving parts suitable for receiving the said latches comprising a hinge fixing. Alternatively, each latch comprising a hinge fixing may be linked to the base by the hinge fixing, and the lid may have latch receiving parts suitable for receiving the said latches.
- Each of the one or more hinge fixings may comprise one or more hinge loops along part of the length of the latch, and a hinge bar formed integrally in the lid or base, wherein the hinge loops clip onto the hinge bar to link the latch to the lid or base. Alternatively, the hinge loops may be formed on the lid or base and the hinge bar formed on the latch.
- One or more of the one or more latches comprising a hinge fixing may be elongated, for example, it may extend for approximately one third, or approximately one half of the length of the associated container side, or further.
- The container may further include one or more storage wells on the outer surface of the lid, which may have individual openable covers. A carrying handle may be attached to the outer surface of the lid.
- The invention is herein described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a toolbox according to the present invention. -
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a latch which may form part of a toolbox according to the present invention. -
FIG. 3 is a side view of the latch ofFIG. 2 . -
FIG. 4 is a partial cross-sectional view of a toolbox with a latch in an unlatched position. -
FIG. 5 is a partial cross-sectional view of a toolbox with a latch in a latched position. -
FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of a toolbox with one latch in a latched position and one latch in an unlatched position. -
FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of a toolbox with two latches in an unlatched position and the lid lifted away from the base. - In
FIG. 1 ,toolbox 10 comprises abase 12 and alid 14.Lid 14 can include one or more storage wells on its outer surface, which can be used to store small items such as screws or nails, or to temporarily store small items for a current job. The storage wells may be covered or sealed bylids 15, which may be hingedly attached to the lid at one edge, and have anopening flap 16 at a separated edge. Thelids 15 may be rigid, flexible or partially flexible. Acarrying handle 40 may be attached to thelid 14. InFIG. 1 , thecarrying handle 40 is shown pivoted down into a position suitable for storage or stacking of the container. The carrying handle may be pivoted up in order to be used to carry thecontainer 10. - The container also comprises a
front latch 20 and arear latch 20′. In this embodiment, thelatches latch 20 as shown inFIGS. 2 and 3 , with the understanding that in this embodiment,latch 20′ has corresponding features and functionality. - The hinge fixing will now be described in more detail, in connection with the embodiment wherein each latch comprising a hinge fixing is attached to the lid by the hinge fixing. It is also possible to have similar hinge fixings if the relevant latches are attached to the base. The hinge fixing may comprise interspaced hinge flanges of the latch and the lid, which are connected together by inserting a hinge pin along at least part of the length of the hinge fixing.
- Alternatively, as shown in
FIGS. 2 and 3 , the hinge fixing may comprise one ormore hinge loops 21 along part of the length of thelatch 20, which can clip onto ahinge bar 31 formed integrally in the lid, as shown inFIGS. 4 to 7 . In a further alternative, the hinge fixing may comprise one or more hinge loops along part of the length of the lid, which can clip onto a hinge bar formed integrally in the latch. This type of hinge fixing is robust and avoids the need to use a separate hinge pin part when assembling the container. - When the
lid 14 is rested on top of thebase 12 as shown inFIG. 4 ,latch 20 can be rotated in direction x in order to engage the engaging portion 22 oflatch 20 with aprotrusion 28 of thebase 12. This latches the lid to the base. In this embodiment, the engaging portion 22 comprises elongatedhinge loop end 27 in conjunction withstalk 23. In embodiments having one or more hinge loops, either one, some or all of the hinge loops present may have elongatedhinge loop ends 27. Stalk 23 is formed unitarily withlatch 20 and carriesstop 24 at a position remote from the main body oflatch 20.Stop 24 carries a leadingrounded surface 25 and a trailingrounded surface 26. When thelid 14 is rested in the correct position on top of thebase 12, andlatch 20 is rotated in direction x, the leadingrounded surface 25 ofstop 24 is brought into contact with theend region 29 ofprotrusion 28 of the base. Continued rotational force onlatch 20 causes stalk 23 to deflect slightly, such that stop 24 passes around theend region 29 ofprotrusion 28 and snaps into the latched position. Stalk 23 is no longer forced to deflect and the trailingrounded surface 26 ofstop 24 holds the engaging portion securely in the latched position. - Alternatively, the latch may carry a protrusion which engages with a similar engaging portion of the base, or any known latching arrangement may be used to reversibly latch the parts together. When
latches toolbox 10 can be carried by thehandle 40, if present. - When the user wants to open the
lid 14,latch 20 can be rotated in direction y in order to disengage the engaging portion 22 oflatch 20 from theprotrusion 28 of thebase 12. Rotation of the latch exerts forces on the trailingrounded surface 26 of thestop 24 andend region 29, such that stalk 23 deflects slightly. Continued rotation causesstop 24 and thus the engaging portion 22 to be removed from engagement withprotrusion 28.Latch 20 may have atab 30 to allow the user to easily rotate the latch. - As shown in
FIG. 6 , iflatch 20′ remains engaged whilelatch 20 is disengaged, then the lid can be pivoted on the hinge fixing oflatch 20′ in order to allow access to the interior of the base. Alternatively, as shown inFIG. 7 , the user may choose to disengage bothlatches - Removal of the lid can allow full access to the cavity of the base. It can also allow for separate storage or cleaning of the base and lid if necessary. If the lid has storage wells in its outer surface, the user can gain access to the cavity of the base and the storage wells at the same time, by simply removing the lid and placing it on a surface next to the base. This latch arrangement may also allow a lid to be swapped for a lid of a different design.
- Embodiments with two opposite latches, each comprising a hinge fixing which allows the lid to pivot while it is latched to the base by the latch, allow the user to open the lid of the container from either side. This increases the convenience of use compared to a toolbox which has a fixed hinge on one side of the lid only.
- In alternative contemplated embodiments, the container may be a four-sided container, having three or four latches, each located on a different side of the container, each latch operable to releaseably latch the lid to the base and one or more of the latches comprising a hinge fixing which allows the lid to pivot while it is latched to the base by the latch. Such embodiments increase the options for opening and latching the lid. In alternative embodiments, the container may have more or less than four sides.
- It should be understood that although the invention has been described in conjunction with specific embodiments thereof, it is evident that many alternatives, modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Accordingly, it is intended to embrace all such alternatives, modifications and variations that fall within the scope of the claims.
