Toolbox for displaying and storing tool heads

Abstract

A toolbox for displaying and storage tool heads consists of a box ( 10 ), a lid ( 20 ) pivotally connected the box ( 10 ), multiple storage racks ( 30 ) rotatably mounted inside the box ( 10 ) and a gang bar ( 40 ) engaging the storage racks ( 30 ). The multiple storage racks ( 30 ) are tilted by the gang bar ( 40 ) in unison to allow tool heads out to be removed from the toolbox conveniently. Additionally, the lid ( 20 ) can be pivoted to a back position of the box ( 10 ) to serve as a stand so the toolbox can display the tool heads.
