Abstract:
1. A storage box with illumination comprising: a storage unit for storing an article; a lid unit slidably attached to the storage unit and adapted to open and close an opening portion of the storage unit; a light source unit attached and fixed to the storage unit and adapted to emit light; a first light guide body attached to the inside of the storage unit; a second light guide body attached to the inside of the lid unit; and a light emitting portion disposed on an upper surface of a front end of the lid unit, defining a handle portion of the lid unit, and having a shape with a largest dimension in a width direction of the lid unit; wherein the second light guide body includes an incident surface, into which light emitted from the light source unit is incident, and an emission surface for emitting the incident light incident, and wedge shape whose width increases from the incident surface toward the emission surface, and the incident surface is formed to be arranged at a location outside an end along a width direction of the light emitting portion; wherein, when the unit is closed, the light emitted from the light source is projected from the light emitting portion, after being guided through the inside of the second light guide body and then emitted from the emission surface, thereby illuminating the outside of the lid unit; and wherein, when the lid unit is opened, the light emitted from the light source unit is projected to the inside of the storage unit after being guided through the inside of the first light guide body, thereby illuminating the inside of the storage unit.
