Toolbox

A toolbox has a body, at least one cover pivotally connected to a pivotal edge of the body, a cap pivotally connected to the pivotal edge of the body and a light received between the body and the cap. Multiple cavities are defined on the inside of each of the body and the covers to receive desired tools. The cap and the covers can be opened relative to the body in the same direction, and the toolbox can stably stand on a horizontal body. The toolbox will not fall when a modest external force is applied to the toolbox.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
 1. Field of the Invention
 The present invention relates to a toolbox, and more particularly to a
 toolbox with at least one cover and a cap pivotally connected to the same
 edge of a tool body.
 2. Description of Related Art
 With reference to FIGS. 4 and 5, a conventional toolbox in accordance with
 the prior art comprises a body (30) and at least one cover (32) pivotally
 connected to the body (30). Multiple cavities (not shown) are defined in
 the body (30) and each cover (32), and each cavity receives a desired
 tool. In addition, a cap (34) is pivotally connected to the body (30). A
 light (36) is mounted between the body (30) and the cap (34) to provide a
 light source to a user working in a dark environment.
 The conventional cover (32) and cap (34) are respectively connected to
 opposite edges of the tool body (30). Thus, the cap (34) must be opened
 longitudinally relative to the ground when the toolbox is standing on the
 ground. The cap (34) easily rotates downward relative to the body (30) due
 to gravity. The movement of the cap (34) will influence the operation of
 changing or fixing the light (36).
 In addition, when the tools in the toolbox and the light (36) are used
 simultaneously, the cover (32) will be opened longitudinally. However,
 because the cover (34) is able to rotate relative to the body (30), the
 body (30) will easily fall over when an external force is applied to
 almost any part of the toolbox. This is inconvenient for a person using
 the toolbox and may even damage the toolbox.
 To overcome these shortcomings, the present invention tends to provide an
 improved toolbox to mitigate or obviate the aforementioned problems.
 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
 The main objective of the invention is to provide an improved toolbox
 having a body, at least one cover pivotally connected to a pivotal edge of
 the body, a cap pivotally connected to the pivotal edge of the body and a
 light received between the tool body and the cap. By such arrangement, the
 cap can be opened in the same direction as the covers. When standing on
 the ground, the toolbox will be stable because it will stand on the bottom
 of the body and an open cover and will not fall over when a modest
 external force is applied to the toolbox.
 Other objects, advantages and novel features of the invention will become
 more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in
 conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
 Referring to FIG. 1, a toolbox in accordance with the present invention
 comprises a body (10), at least one cover (12) and a cap (14) pivotally
 connected to the body (10) and a light (16) received between the body (10)
 and the cap (14). The body (10) has a one side to connect the cover (s)
 (12) and a side opposite to that first side. A hinged edge is formed on
 the side of the body (10) to which all of the covers (12) are connected
 simultaneously. Multiple cavities are defined in the side of the body (10)
 and the covers (12) facing each other. Each cavity receives a desired
 tool, such that the toolbox can hold multiple tools.
 The cap (14) is pivotally connected to the pivotal edge of the body (10),
 so that the cap (14) and the covers (12) can be opened relative to the
 tool body (10) in the same direction, as shown by the phantom lines in
 FIG. 1.
 With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, when the user opens the cover (12)
 adjacent to the bottom edge of the body (10), an enclosed area is formed
 between the open cover (12) and the body (10). The cover (12) and the body
 (10) define a stable base plane to support the toolbox on a horizontal
 body like the ground. The toolbox will not fall when a modest external
 force is applied to the toolbox. The light (16) can be stably supported
 above the horizontal body to provide a light source for a user working in
 a dark environment.
 With reference to FIG. 3, a reflective sign (18) is securely mounted on the
 back of the body (10), such that a warning can be provided by the
 reflective sign (18) in a dark environment. Consequently, the safety of
 using the toolbox can be improved.
 Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present
 invention have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with
 details of the structure and function of the invention, the disclosure is
 illustrative only, and changes may be made in detail, especially in
 matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of
 the invention to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of
 the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
