DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

(10) The technical content and features of the present invention will be detailedly described by the instanced embodiments and the accompanying drawings given herein below. The directional terms mentioned in the content of this specification, such as above, below, in, out, top and bottom are all just for illustrative description on the basis of normal usage direction, not intended to limit the claimed scope. For the detailed description of the technical features of the present invention, two embodiments are instanced herein below and described in coordination with the accompanying drawings.

(11) As shown in FIG. 1, a box 1 provided by a first embodiment of this application includes a first half box body 10, a second half box body 20, and two hexagon wrenches 30.

(12) Referring to FIG. 2 to FIG. 4, the first half box body 10 includes two first pivot connecting portion groups. Every first pivot connecting portion group has two first pivot connecting portions 11, and the two first pivot connecting portions 11 are arranged apart from each other. Every first pivot connecting portion 11 has a first through hole 12. The first through hole 12 penetrates through two opposite sides of the first pivot connecting portion 11. In this embodiment, the first through hole 12 is a hexagonal hole (shown in FIG. 5). Besides, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the first half box body 10 is provided on the inside surface thereof with two first accommodating troughs 13. Every first accommodating trough 13 has a trough bottom 131, a trough wall 132, and a slope structure 133. The slope structure 133 is provided on the trough bottom 131. The first half box body 10 further has two buckles 14.

(13) The second half box body 20 includes two second pivot connecting portions 21 arranged apart from each other. Every second pivot connecting portion 21 is located between two first pivot connecting portions 11 of every first pivot connecting portion group, which means the second pivot connecting portion 21 is located on a side of the first pivot connecting portion 11, and the second pivot connecting portion 21 is directly adjacent to the first pivot connecting portion 11. Every second pivot connecting portion 21 has a second through hole 22. The first through hole 12 communicates with the second through hole 22 linearly. In this embodiment, the second through hole 22 is a circular hole (shown in FIG. 6). Similarly, the second half box body 20 is provided on the inside surface thereof with two second accommodating troughs 23. Every second accommodating trough 23 has an elongated shape, and has a trough bottom 231 and two trough walls 232 provided oppositely. The second half box body 20 further has two buckling portions 24. The buckles 14 can be buckled to the buckling portions 24.

(14) Referring to FIG. 3 particularly, the hexagon wrench 30 includes a hexagonal transverse segment 32 and a hexagonal longitudinal segment 31, which are connected integrally. In this embodiment, the length of the hexagonal transverse segment 32 is larger than the length of the hexagonal longitudinal segment 31. The cross-sectional size of the hexagonal transverse segment 32 is substantially equal to the cross-sectional size of the first through hole 12. The cross-sectional shape of the hexagonal transverse segment 32 and the cross-sectional shape of the first through hole 12 are both hexagon (shown in FIG. 5). The hexagonal transverse segment 32 has a first angular end 33 and a second angular end 34 arranged in a subtended manner (shown in FIG. 6). The distance L between the first angular end 33 and the second angular end 34 is substantially equal to (or at least larger than) the diameter of the second through hole 22. The hexagonal transverse segment 32 of every hexagon wrench 30 is inserted in the first through holes 12 of the aforementioned two first pivot connecting portions 11 and the second through hole 22 of the second pivot connecting portion 21, so that the first half box body 10 and the second half box body 20 can be pivotably connected as a whole. Because the cross-sectional shape of the hexagonal transverse segment 32 and the cross-sectional shape of the first through hole 12 are both hexagon and the two are substantially the same in size, the first half box body 10 and the hexagon wrench 30 can be only rotated synchronously. By comparison, the second through hole 22 is a circular hole, and the diameter of the second through hole 22 is substantially equal to the distance L between the first angular end 33 and the second angular end 34 of the hexagonal transverse segment 32, so that the second half box body 20 is pivotable relative to the hexagonal transverse segment 32 of the hexagon wrench 30 by taking the hexagon wrench as a fixed axle. As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, in the process that the hexagonal transverse segment 32 of the hexagon wrench 30 is inserted into the first through holes 12 of the first pivot connecting portions 11 and the second through hole 22 of the second pivot connecting portion 21, the hexagonal longitudinal segment 31 of the hexagon wrench 30 passes over the slope structure 133 to enter between the trough wall 132 and the slope structure 133 of the first accommodating trough 13, so that the hexagonal longitudinal segment 31 can be positioned between the aforementioned trough wall 132 and the slope structure 133. A depth is formed by the trough bottom 131 of the first accommodating trough 13 in coordination with the trough bottom 231 of the second accommodating trough 23. When the first half box body 10 and the second half box body 20 are located at a close position, the position of the second accommodating trough 23 corresponds to the position of the hexagonal longitudinal segment 31, and the depth between the trough bottom 131 of the first accommodating trough 13 and the trough bottom 231 of the second accommodating trough 23 is larger than the size of the hexagon wrench 30, preventing the hexagon wrench 30 and the second half box body 20 from structural interference.

(15) It should be mentioned that the amounts of the first pivot connecting portion 11 and the second pivot connecting portion 21 may be increased or decreased according to the practical demand. In some conditions, the amounts of the first pivot connecting portion 11 and the second pivot connecting portion 21 may be both only one, and only one hexagon wrench 30 is used to connect the first pivot connecting portion 11 and the second pivot connecting portion 21.

(16) By the structural configuration of the aforementioned box 1, when the user needs to replace the first half box body 10 or the second half box body 20, the user only has to extract the hexagon wrench 30 to separate two half box bodies 10 and 20. After that, the user can make a replacement by another half box body, such as the replacement by another second half box body, and re-insert the hexagonal transverse segment 32 of the hexagon wrench 30 into the through holes of the first pivot connecting portion 11 and the after-replacement second pivot connecting portion, such that the pivotable connection of the first half box body 10 and the after-replacement second half box body is accomplished and thus the replacement is accomplished.

(17) This application further provides a second embodiment. Referring to FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, a box 1 of the second embodiment is approximately the same in structure with the first embodiment. One of the structural differences is that each of the first pivot connecting portions 11 and the second pivot connecting portions 21 has a hollow hole 111 or 211. The hollow hole 111 of the first pivot connecting portion 11 communicates with the first through hole 12. The hollow hole 211 of the second pivot connecting portion 21 communicates with the second through hole 22.

(18) The invention being thus described, it will be obvious that the same may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the invention, and all such modifications as would be obvious to one skilled in the art are intended to be included within the scope of the following claims.
