Eight corners are connected to corners of the front frame and the rear frame so as to hide the bolts.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A safety box, comprising:
 a main frame being a rectangular frame and including a front frame, a rear frame and four side bars connected between the front and rear frames, the front frame including four hollow front bars and each front bar having a first slot, holes defined through a wall of the front bars and communicating with the first slot, each front bar having connection holes defined in a side of each of two ends thereof, the front bars connected to each other by bolts extending through the connection holes to form the rectangular front frame;   the rear frame including four hollow rear bars and each rear bar having a second slot, holes defined through a wall of the rear bars and communicating with the second slot, each rear bar having connection holes defined in a side of each of two ends thereof, the rear bars connected to each other by bolts extending through the connection holes to form the rectangular rear frame;   the side bars each being an L-shaped bar and connected between corners of the front frame and corners of the rear frame;   four side panels each having holes defined therethrough, two ends of each of the side panels respectively inserted into the first and second slots of the front and rear bars, bolts extending thorugh the holes in the side panels to connect the side panels to the front and rear frames, two sides of each side panel connected to the side bars;   a rear panel having a plurality of holes and bolts extending through the holes and connecting the rear panel to the rear bars of the rear frame; and   a front panel connected with a pivotal column which is pivotably connected to the front frame.   
   
   
       2 . The safety box as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein one of the four front bars is an L-shaped front bar, the pivotal column is engaged with a recessed space between two sides of the L-shaped front bar. 
   
   
       3 . The safety box as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a plurality of L-shaped corner members each have a positioning stub and a hook extending therefrom, the front bars of the front frame each have positioning holes which are located in alignment with the positioning stubs of the corner members, the positioning stubs are engaged with the positioning holes and the hooks are hooked to a side of one of the front bars so that each corner member is connected to each of the corners of the front frame and covers the bolts and the positioning holes of the front bars. 
   
   
       4 . The safety box as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a plurality of L-shaped corner members each have a positioning stub and a hook extending therefrom, the rear bars of the rear frame each have positioning holes which are located in alignment with the positioning stubs of the corner members, the positioning stubs are engaged with the positioning holes and the hooks are hooked to a side of one of the rear bars so that each corner member is connected to each of the corners of the rear frame and covers the bolts and the positioning holes of the rear bars. 
   
   
       5 . The safety box as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein at least one reinforcement member is inserted in the front bar of the front frame and includes a plurality of holes which are located in alignment with the connection holes defined in the side of each of the two ends of each front bar, bolts connect the at least one reinforcement member to a connection portion of the front bars. 
   
   
       6 . The safety box as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the at least one reinforcement member is engaged with one of the rear bars of the rear frame and is located at a connection portion of the rear bars. 
   
   
       7 . The safety box as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the front panel includes holes defined therein and the pivotal column includes a plurality of holes, bolts extend through the holes of the front panel and the holes of the pivotal column to connect the front panel to the pivotal column, a biasing member is connected to the pivotal column so as to push the front panel outward. 
   
   
       8 . The safety box as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the biasing member is a metal resilient piece. 
   
   
       9 . The safety box as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a washer is mounted to the pivotal column.
