FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to tool cover, and particularly to a tool cover having the function of rust proof and dreg removing.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

With the improvement of human life, tools are used in decoration and many different kinds of works, however in using, dregs generate in cutting woods. For example saws are frequently used in cut. The saw is formed by a handle and a knife. A saw has sawteeth which is harmful so that in storage, it is necessary to be well protected. Furthermore, the sawteeth easily adhere with dust and dregs so as to affect the quality in working.

In one improvement structure, the saw is combined with a cover. The cover has a casing with a receiving space. The receiving space has an opening and a penetrating portion which is spaced with the opening. A button is swingably pivoted to the casing at the side having the through portion. The cover further includes a press portion and a stop opposite to the press portion and corresponding to the through portion. The button can be controlled to swing between an inward protruding position and an outward curl position. When the button is at the inward protruding position, the stop will enter into the though portion, and when the button is at the outward curl position, the stop will curl upwards to be out of the through portion. The cover further has an elastic body which is installed between the button and the casing and provides an elastic force to cause the stop to move inwards. A saw has a saw sheet which can enter into the receiving space from the opening. A saw handle is installed at one end of the saw sheet and is separable to be positioned by the button. The saw handle has a flange which protrudes outwards and can be stopped by the stop. In use, the user holds the handle, and presses the press portion so that the button moves to the outward curl position from the inward protruding position and the flange of the saw handle releases from the buckling of the stop so that the saw can be pulled out of the casing.

However although the prior art saw cover can receive and protect the saw therein, since the gaps between the sawteeth is very small so that the wood dregs easily accumulates thereon. If oil or other adhesive is adhered thereon, the wood dregs will accumulate in the gaps and are very difficult to be removed so that the saw can not be used well, even it can not be used. Moreover, since the sawteeth are the main portion contacting the wood dregs and thus are wear seriously. Generally, the saw is viewed as a consumable object so that they have no the function of wear proof and the rust proof. Thus if the saw is worn or rusted seriously, the user will not improve it. Finally, if the saw can not be well functioned, it is deserted. This is not economic. Furthermore, the saw cover has no function of rustproof. A rusted saw in the saw cover possibly causes the dregs to leave in the cover. The oxidized dregs will adhere at the interior of the saw. Not only it is difficult to pull out the saw, but also the cover can not be used. Thus the prior art is not practical and is necessary to be improved.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The main object of the present invention is to provide a transition area which has the function of rust proof and dreg removing.

To achieve above object, the present invention provides a tool cover having a receiving body.

The receiving body has an approximate rectangular shape. An interior of the receiving body is formed with a receiving space. One end of the receiving space has an opening for receiving objects.

The opening is installed with a dreg removing portion which is formed by a brush body. The dreg removing portion is installed at two sides of a lower side of the opening of the receiving body and extends inwards to a predetermined distance. Thereby when objects enter into the receiving body, the dregs can be removed without accumulating in the receiving body.

A rust proof portion is installed at a rear side of the dreg removing portion of the receiving body. The rust proof portion is made of a sponge which has an approximate U shape to encircle in the interior of the receiving body. The rust proof portion has the effect of absorbing oil or fat so as to be coated thereon. When objects move into the receiving body, the rust proof portion will adhere the oil or fat thereon so that the object easily oxidization can be coated with oil or fat for isolating exterior air without rusting or delaying the time period of rusting.

Besides, a transition area is installed between the dreg removing portion and the rust proof portion. The transition area serves for isolating the dreg removing portion and the rust proof portion. Thereby when objects enter into the receiving body, the transition area will contain the dregs removed from the dreg removing portion without dregs will enter into the rust proof portion to affect the function of coating of the oil or fat by the rust proof portion. When objects move out of the receiving body, the opening of the receiving body will face to the ground so that the dregs in the transition area can fall out to retain the cleanness of the receiving body.

The various objects and advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood from the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the appended drawing.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

In order that those skilled in the art can further understand the present invention, a description will be provided in the following in details. However, these descriptions and the appended drawings are only used to cause those skilled in the art to understand the objects, features, and characteristics of the present invention, but not to be used to confine the scope and spirit of the present invention defined in the appended claims.

The present invention relates to a tool cover, as referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, the tool cover 1 has a receiving body 2. For simplifying, in this embodiment, a saw is used as an example, but it is not used to confine the scope of the present invention. Other tools are suitable for the present invention.

The receiving body 2 has an approximate rectangular shape. An interior of the receiving body 2 is formed with a receiving space 21. One end of the receiving space 21 has an opening 22 for receiving objects.

The opening 22 is installed with a dreg removing portion 3 which is formed by a brush body 31. The dreg removing portion 3 is installed at two sides of a lower side of the opening 22 of the receiving body 2 and extends inwards to a predetermined distance. Thereby when objects enter into the receiving body 2, the dregs can be removed without accumulating in the receiving body 2.

A rust proof portion 4 is installed at a rear side of the dreg removing portion 3 of the receiving body 2. The rust proof portion 4 is made of a sponge 41 which has an approximate U shape to encircle in the interior of the receiving body 2. The rust proof portion 4 has the effect of absorbing oil or fat so as to be coated thereon. When objects move into the receiving body 2, the rust proof portion 4 will adhere the oil or fat thereon so that the object easily oxidization can be coated with oil or fat for isolating exterior air without rusting or delaying the time period of rusting.

Besides, a transition area 5 is installed between the dreg removing portion 3 and the rust proof portion 4. The transition area 5 serves for isolating the dreg removing portion 3 and the rust proof portion 4. Thereby when objects enter into the receiving body 2, the transition area 5 will contain the dregs removed from the dreg removing portion 3 without dregs will enter into the rust proof portion 4 to affect the function of coating of the oil or fat by the rust proof portion 4. When objects move out of the receiving body 2, the opening of the receiving body 2 will face to the ground so that the dregs in the transition area 5 can fall out to retain the cleanness of the receiving body 2.

Referring to FIG. 4, in use of the tool cover 1 of the present invention, when a saw 6 to be placed into the receiving body 2, the sawteeth 7 of the saw 6 passes through the dreg removing portion 3 in the opening 22 of the receiving space 21 so that the dregs on the saw 6 will move by the brush body 31 of the dreg removing portion 3 to fall out before entering into the receiving body 2. After the sawteeth 7 of the saw 6 passes through the dreg removing portion 3, the dregs will fall into the receiving body 2 to prevent the dregs to fall into the rust proof portion 4 carelessly so as to affect the rust proof function of the rust proof portion 4. Then when the saw 6 moves into the rust proof portion 4 gradually, two sides of the saw 6 will adhere with oil or fat of the sponge 41 so as to form a layer on the surfaces thereof. Other than isolating air from the surfaces of the saw 6, the rust on the saw 6 will protect by the oil or fat will not oxidize further. Thus the life of the saw 6 is prolonged.
