Abstract:
1. A screwdriver kit comprising: a rectangular, recessed base comprising a divider wall for dividing a space defined by the base into a first compartment and a second compartment, the divider wall including an opening; a cover comprising first spring means hingedly secured to the base so as to either close the base in a closed position with the first spring means being compressed or open the base in an open position, and a latch distal the first spring means; two receiving structures disposed in the first compartment, each receiving structure comprising a plurality of slots facing the other receiving structure for receiving a plurality of screwdriver heads, and second spring means for pivotably securing the receiving structure to the base so that the receiving structure can be disposed in either (i) a first position substantially parallel to the bottom of the base when the base is in the closed position or (ii) a second position at a predetermined angle with respect to the bottom of the base when the base is in the open position; a pivotal structure disposed in the second compartment and comprising a main body including a top slope and a lock pin inserting through the opening into the first compartment to be locked by the latch, and third spring means biased between the main body and the base so as to move the lock pin relative to the opening in response to moving the main body; and a push button disposed on the pivotal structure and comprising a body member including a bottom protrusion engaged with the slope, and fourth spring means biased between the body member and the main body; wherein in response to pressing the body member the fourth spring means is compressed and the projection slides downward along the slope to pivot the pivotal structure and disengage the lock pin from the latch, thereby unlocking the cover; wherein the first spring means releases its stored elastic energy to pivotably open the cover and unlock the receiving structures; and wherein the second spring means releases its stored elastic force to pivot each receiving structure upward until reaching the predetermined angle.
