BOX FOR DRILLS Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC B65D6/00 B65D85/20 

FIELD: mechanical engineering; packing and storing.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to containers for transportation and regulated storage of small articles, particularly, to boxes for tools of drill type. According to invention, box frame in folded state is shifted upwards, covers are joined at its both sides and fixed in extreme upper position by elastic projections-catches and small pins fitted in corners of T-shaped holes. Tool is placed in recess and in projecting cylindrical members. Covers in closed state form space over upper end face of housing and recesses covering ends of tools from above. To open drill box, elastic projections-catches should be press-shifted to each other to release upper walls of covers, and central part of frame should be pressed downwards. As a result, elastic projections-catches will get into clearance between upper walls of covers, and rectangular projections of central part will get into shaped cutout providing downwards shift of frame. Simultaneously, covers open turning on pins and lowering down and pull the frame which, moving along pins in splines and on small pins along straight part of T-shaped holes, reaches extreme lower position. Pressing of frame provides catching of projections in slots, and frame and covers are fixed in extreme lower position. Open box for drill rests at least on two bevels of open covers (in separate cases also on housing 1), thus providing improved stability of box in open position. Box for drills is closed by pulling frame upwards till catching of elastic projections-catches on upper walls of covers and fixing of small pins in corners of T-shaped holes, with frame being held by fingers by round projections.

EFFECT: improved convenience and safety in transportation, provision of regulated storing and additional possibilities of use of proposed box.
