Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a multi-purpose container structure, and in particular to a multi-purpose briefcase-like container structure, suitable for containing, e.g., tools such as wrenches, spanners, hammers, pliers etc.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a multi-­purpose container structure, which is extremely practical in operation and which permits a rational arrangement of the tools inside it.
  • an important object of the invention is to provide a container structure wherein the internal space is utilized optimally and with extreme rationality.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a container structure which has various compartments, each permitting similar tools to be grouped together therein.
  • Another important object of the invention is to provide a container structure which can assume the configuration of a small-size briefcase when it is not in use and when it is being transported.
  • a not least object of the invention is to provide a container structure which can be manufactured at low cost with conventional production systems, so as to be commercially competitive.
  • a multi-purpose container structure characterized in that it comprises a plurality of complementary box-like elements hinged in series, which define containment recesses for tools and/or items of various kinds, said box-like elements being arrangeable in a pack to constitute a briefcase with mutual coupling means adapted to releasably lock said elements in said configuration.
  • the multi-purpose container structure according to the invention is generally indicated by the reference numeral 1, and expediently comprises four box-like elements, respectively indicated by the reference numerals 2, 3, 4 and 5, each substantially defining the shape of a flattened parallelepiped; said box-like elements are hinged in series to one another along their adjacent longer sides.
  • the structure 1 is made monolithically of a blow-molded plastic material, and the hinges, respectively 6, 7 and 8, are constituted by reduced-thickness elastic laminas which are monolithic with the remainder of the structure and are thus made of the same plastic material.
  • the central hinge 7 is conveniently arranged at the resting plane of the container, while the two outermost hinges 6 and 8 are arranged at the upper edges of the box-­like elements, so as to allow the box-like elements 2, 3, 4 and 5 to be packed as illustrated in figure 2 and to assume the configuration of the briefcase 9 illustrated in figure 3.
  • the opposite shorter sides of the structure 1 of the elements 2 and 5 respectively are longitudinally provided with pairs of raised shoulders 10 and 11 adapted to fit together during packing, each pair of raised shoulders 10, 11 having a connecting crosspiece, respectively 12 and 13, adapted to define a grip handle 14.
  • Two coupling elements extend from the end of said pair of shoulders 11 and are monolithic therewith; said elements each substantially define a pawl­like shape and are adapted to engage complementary seats 17 and 18 provided on each of said pair of shoulders 10.
  • a coupling element 19, of the same kind as the above-­mentioned coupling elements 15, 16, extends monolithically and laterally from said box-like element 3 and is adapted to be accommodated in a complementary seat 20 formed on the box-like element 3.
  • the coupling elements 15, 16 and 19 contribute to maintain the packed arrangement of the structure 1, and can be released if required so as to allow the box-like elements 2, 3, 4, 5 of said container structure to be opened out in the manner illustrated in figures 1 and 2.
  • each box-like element 2, 3, 4 and 5 defines containment recesses 21 for tools and/or items of various kinds; each recess is advantageously provided, on its edge, with elastic teeth, not illustrated in the figures, adapted to retain each of said tools in its seat without however compromising its easy extraction by an operator.
  • the surfaces of the box-like elements 3 and 4 in which the containment recesses 21 are provided are conveniently perimetrally provided with an abutment 22 for a complementary shaped perimetral edge 23 defined on each of the surfaces of the containment recesses 21 of the box-like elements 2 and 5.
  • a container structure having been provided which can be conveniently manufactured in blow-molded plastic material and is composed of a series of box-like elements which are pivotally connected in series and can be mutually packed so as to define a briefcase for carrying.
  • the containment recesses may have any shape, and said recesses may also be replaced, for each box-like element, with a single containment recess with or without coupling means for the tools.
  • each box-like element may conveniently contain similar tools, so that the container structure may be divided into various specialized sections.
  • the materials employed, as well as the dimensions, may be any according to the requirements.
