1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a toolbox, and more particularly to a decorative toolbox that inlays a landscape picture, a famous painting or an enlarged photo and users can change the inlaid photo or picture according to personal moods, seasons or holidays, and the toolbox can be hung in a room for decoration.

2. Description of the Related Art

In general, most families have tools for performing simple repairs, maintenance, and work, but a general family does not have a dedicated toolbox, and the tools are placed in an unseen place as one pleases. If it is necessary to use a tool, users may have difficulty to locate the desired tool. Some people put tools in a small wooden box or a plastic bag, but such arrangement adversely affects the interior environment. Since tools are not recommended to be put at anywhere in a room, therefore they are usually piled in a storeroom or an unseen corner. As a result, users may forget where they put the tools or simply lose the tools. It is inconvenient for users to access the tools, and thus causing some sort of inconvenience or trouble to users.

Referring to FIG. 1, a prior art toolbox 100 comprises a lid 101, a box body 102 and a tool disposing layer 103, and the toolbox 100 is usually made of metal or wood, and thus it is heavy and not good looking at all. The design of the prior art toolbox 100 focuses on the capacity and portability of the toolbox and seldom takes the stylish design into consideration. If a toolbox is not used, it is necessary to store the toolbox in a storeroom to prevent its adverse effect to the interior environment. Although the prior art toolbox 100 can store tools, it is inconvenient to store and access tools.

In view of the foregoing shortcomings of storing a toolbox, the present invention provides a toolbox with an artistic frame, and a landscape picture, a famous painting or an enlarged photo can be inlaid onto the toolbox to form a decorative handcraft, and the toolbox can be hung in a room for decorating a room, and the invention also facilitates the storage and access of tools.

To achieve the foregoing objective, a decorative toolbox of the invention comprises a box body, a lid, a connecting member disposed at a corresponding edge of a rear side of said box body and a disposing baseboard having a plurality of different tool latch grooves in the box body, characterized in that the box body includes a latch groove disposed on a lateral side of the box body and a support hole disposed at the bottom of the box body; the lid has a containing space, a frame and a hook, and the containing space is disposed at an external surface of the lid for containing a corresponding ornament.

The advantage of the present invention resides on that the toolbox is an ornament hung on a wall of a room to decorate the interior environment, and the photo or picture can be changed according to personal moods, seasons or holidays, and the toolbox facilitates the access and storage of tools.

The box body has a latch groove 11 on a lateral side; and the box body 1 includes a disposing baseboard 12 having different tool grooves, and the bottom board has a plurality of support holes 13 (as shown in FIG. 5). The lid 2 includes a containing space 21, a frame 22 and a hook 23 (as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4). The containing space 21 is disposed at the external surface of the lid 2 and corresponding to the ornament 3.

Referring to FIG. 6, common tools are latched into the corresponding tool latch grooves on the disposing baseboard 12 and covered by the lid 2. The box body 1 and the lid 2 are integrally engaged by a hook 23 and a latch groove 11, and the box body 1 can be hung onto a wall of a room or an appropriate panel of furniture. Several nails or hooks are nailed at the corresponding positions of the support holes 13 at the bottom board of the box body 1, and then the support holes 13 are latched into the corresponding nails or hooks.
