DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

(15) A preferred embodiment of a fastener container in the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1˜13, includes a receptacle base 1 and a lid 2 as main components combined together. The receptacle base 1 and the lid 2 can be made of plastic, rubber or other elastic material, and the receptacle base 1 and the lid 2 are connected by a hinge 3.

(16) Said receptacle base 1 has a first space 10 to contain screws or items, the receptacle base 1 is provided with an annular side wall 11 and two upwardly extending combining circumference 12 are separately set on the top of the annular side wall 11. The front end of the receptacle base 1 has a foldable pendant 13 which is provided with a through hole 130, and a protrusion 14 is set on the outside of the front of the receptacle base 1 to strengthen the structural strength of the receptacle base 1 and for engagement with the through hole 130 of the pendant 13, so that the pendant 13 can be hidden when not in use (as shown in FIGS. 6, 7 and 8). The top of said protrusion 14 is provided with a first locking member 15, and a plurality of reinforcing ribs 16 are arranged at the bottom of the receptacle base 1 (as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3).

(17) Said lid 2 has a second space 20, and the periphery of the lid 2 is provided with a circumferential wall 21 to correspond to the shape of said annular side wall 11 of the receptacle base 1. A outwardly projecting outer baffle 211 and a first inner baffle 212 are individually provided under the both side of the circumferential wall 21, and a groove 213 is formed between the outer baffle 211 and the first inner baffle 212 for containing the combining circumference 12 of the receptacle base 1 (as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10). The height of the first inner baffle 212 is greater than the height of the outer baffle 211, so that, by using the altitude difference between the outer baffle 211 and the first inner baffle 212, the combining circumference 12 of the receptacle base 1 will be more easily engaged with the groove 213 of lid 2, and the higher first inner baffle 212 can prevent the screws or items fall from the opening on the side of the container to the outside when the locked container be extruded deformation by external force.

(18) A plurality of spaced second inner baffle 214 is set on the inside of the front of said circumferential wall 21 which is corresponding to the shape of said annular side wall 11 of the receptacle base 1 to prevent the screws or items fall from the opening on the front of the container to the outside when the locked container be extruded deformation by external force. The front of the lid 2 is provided with a second locking member 22 to cooperate with the first locking member 15 of the receptacle base 1 to lock and fix the receptacle base 1 and the lid 2 together.

(19) The bottom of the second space 20 of the lid 2 is provided at least one tool holder(s) 23, such as V-shape holder (as shown in FIG. 11) or U-shape holder (as shown in FIG. 12), to utilize the tool holder(s) 23 to receive a variety of tools, and the tools can be concealed in the second space 20, so that the space of the second space 20 can be fully utilized.

(20) When the user wants to lock the container, his/her only need to connect the combining circumference 12 of the receptacle base 1 with the groove 213 of the lid 2, and then licking the first locking member 15 and the second locking member 22, so that the container will be firmly lock. On the contrary, as long as the first locking member 15 and the second locking member 22 are separated from each other, the container can be quickly opened to facilitate the user to reach his/her hand into the first space 10 of the receptacle base 1 to take or put the screws or other items. In addition, the container can be hung on the wall or on the display stand by means of the pendant 13, and the pendant 13 can also be retracted if the container without hanging.

(21) Therefore, this invention utilizes the integrally formed receptacle base 1 and lid 2, the user does not need to worry about that the lid missing during use, and the container can be made in any size and the structure of the container does not affect the use of the user. Moreover, the special structure of receptacle base 1 and lid 2 of this invention can effectively solve the problem that the screws or items fall from the opening on the side of the container to the outside when the locked container be extruded deformation by external force. Evidently this invention has tangible benefits and tallies with progressiveness and novelty demanded by patent laws.

(22) While the preferred embodiments of this invention have been described above, it will be recognized and understood that various modifications may be made therein and appended claims are intended to cover all such modifications that may fall within the spirit and scope of the invention.
