Abstract
A tool box has a bottom portion, a pair of side portions, a back portion, a front portion, and a cover rotatably mounted adjacent the back portion. The cover has a horizontal section and a slanted section sloping downwardly from the horizontal section. A partition plate is positioned in the interior of the tool box and has a row of pegs extending upwardly from the top of the partition plate. The upper ends of the pegs can contact or be in close proximity to the horizontal section of the cover when the cover is in its closed position such that tools disposed on the pegs are secured in position. A shaft is rotatably supported along the front portion and has structure attached along its length for engaging the cover to secure the cover in its closed position. The shaft is rotated by an actuating member so that the engaging structure can be brought into contact with the cover to seal the cover. A compartment is positioned in the interior near the bottom of the box and has a cover structure disposed thereon for maintaining tools in secured and unsecured positions.
