Abstract

A hideable toolbox handle comprising: a toolbox body; the toolbox body being formed by an upper casing pivotally installed to a lower casing; an inner side of the lower casing; the lower casing being formed with a receiving notch; each of two lateral sides of the receiving notch having a respective slide track; and a handle having two limiting blocks which are installed in the two slide tracks, respectively; and thus the handle being slidable along the receiving notch. The handle being bendable so as to reduce the transversal width thereof. A top of the handle slightly protrudes from a top surface of the lower casing. The upper casing has a window. The handle is formed with a slot. Each of two sides of the top surface of the lower casing is formed with a buckle portion as buckles in the combination of the upper casing and lower casing.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to toolboxes, and particularly to a hideable toolbox handle, wherein the handle is telescopic and can be reduced into a receiving notch in the casing.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In one toolbox for receiving tools, a foaming casing is installed in the casing. The foaming casing has a plurality of slots for receiving various tools.
Furthermore, the casing of the toolbox is installed with a handle for being held. The handle has a slot so that user's hand can hold the handle by inserting the hand into the slot. However in the prior art, the handle and the casing are integrally formed so that the handle protrudes from the casing, which make an unbeautiful outlook. Moreover, the protruding handle will hook the clothes or trousers so as to make trouble in working and carrying, even the handle occupies a great space in storage.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Accordingly, the primary object of the present invention is to provide a hideable toolbox handle, wherein the handle is telescopic and can be reduced into a receiving notch in the casing.
To achieve above objects, the present invention provides a hideable toolbox handle comprising: a toolbox body; the toolbox body being formed by an upper casing pivotally installed to a lower casing; an inner side of the lower casing; the lower casing being formed with a receiving notch; each of two lateral sides of the receiving notch having a respective slide track; and a handle having two limiting blocks which are installed in the two slide tracks, respectively; and thus the handle being slidable along the receiving notch. The handle being bendable so as to reduce the transversal width thereof. A top of the handle slightly protrudes from a top surface of the lower casing. The upper casing has a window. The handle is formed with a slot. Each of two sides of the top surface of the lower casing is formed with a buckle portion as buckles in the combination of the upper casing and lower casing.
The various objects and advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood from the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the appended drawing.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

FIG. 1 is an explosive schematic view of the present invention.

FIG. 2 is a schematic view of the present invention.

FIG. 3 is a schematic view of the present invention, wherein the handle is in a receiving state.

FIG. 4 is a schematic view of the present invention, where the handle is pushed out.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

In order that those skilled in the art can further understand the present invention, a description will be provided in the following in details. However, these descriptions and the appended drawings are only used to cause those skilled in the art to understand the objects, features, and characteristics of the present invention, but not to be used to confine the scope and spirit of the present invention defined in the appended claims.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the present invention has the following elements.
A toolbox body 1 is an oblong hollow box. The toolbox body 1 is formed by an upper casing 11 pivotally installed to a lower casing 12. The toolbox body 1 can receive various tools. An inner side of the lower casing 12 is installed with an inner casing which is formed with a plurality of recesses corresponding to various shapes of tools. Generally, the inner casing is made of foaming material.
The upper casing 11 has a window 111 which has a trapezoidal shape. The color of the window 111 may be different from other portion of the upper casing 11.
Each of two sides of the top surface of the lower casing 12 is formed with a buckle portion 121 as buckles for the combination of the upper casing 11 and lower casing 12. This is known in the prior art and thus the detail will not be described herein. The lower casing 12 is formed with a receiving notch 14 between the two buckle portions 121. Each of two lateral sides of the receiving notch 14 has a respective slide track 141.
A handle 20 has two limiting blocks 22 which are installed in the two slide tracks 141, respectively. Thus the handle 20 is slidable along the receiving notch 14.
The handle 20 can be formed with a slot 21. The user can hold the handle 20 by passing the fingers into the slot 21.
The handle is made of plastics or rubber. The handle 20 is bendable so as to reduce the transversal width thereof. Thus in assembly, the handle 20 is installed to the receiving notch 14 easily. A top of the handle 20 slightly protrudes from a top surface of the lower casing 12.
In use, the user's hand can pass through the slot 21 and holds the handle 20 upwards. Thus the handle 20 will slide along the slide tracks 141. The guide blocks 22 at two sides of the handle 20 and the slide tracks 141 cause the handle 20 to protrude out so as to present a beautiful outlook. The prior art defect in the handle is improved.
The present invention is thus described, it will be obvious that the same may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and all such modifications as would be obvious to one skilled in the art are intended to be included within the scope of the following claims.

Claims
