The invention relates to a tool box that has a lid that may be unobstructedly opened while the box is suspended by its own hanger from a horizontal member of a scaffold. Moreover, the tool box is designed to block rotation of the box while suspended, so that it may be opened, closed, and accessed while remaining out of the way in its hanging position on the scaffold.

An improved tool box, having a front wall, a rear wall and two side walls, each lying generally in a vertical plane, and a bottom wall lying generally in a horizontal plane, said front wall and said rear wall each having their bottom edges connected to the front edge and the rear edge, respectively, of the bottom wall, said side walls each having their bottom edges connected to the side edges, respectively, of the bottom wall, the front side edge of each of the side walls connected, respectively, to the side edge of the front wall, and the rear side edge of each of the side walls connected, respectively, to the side edge of the rear wall, a lid connected to at least one of the walls lying in a generally vertical plane, wherein the improvement comprises: a. a means for suspending the box from an object while permitting free movement of the lid for opening and closing and without limiting movement of the lid by the object to which the box may be suspended, said means for suspending being operably connected to one of the vertical walls of said box, adapted to suspend said box from a horizontal member of a scaffold, said scaffold having the horizontal member supported on each end by a parallel vertical support member, and said means for suspending the box extends horizontally and is centrally disposed on said vertical wall and has a horizontal length that is less than the horizontal length of the vertical wall of the box to which the means for suspending the box is attached, wherein each end of the vertical wall of the box on which the means for suspending the box is disposed extending beyond the centrally disposed means for suspending the box defines a vertical section, and wherein each vertical section may be positioned adjacent to a parallel vertical support member of a scaffold having a horizontal member disposed between parallel vertical support members, whereby, rotational movement of the box about said horizontal member of a scaffold is obstructed by contact between each of said vertical sections and the adjacent parallel vertical support member; and b. a horizontal lid hinge operably connected to the lid and having an axis disposed along and operably connected to the vertical wall of the box that is opposite the vertical wall of the box on which the means for suspending the box is disposed, said lid being pivotally movable about the axis of said lid hinge from a closed position with the lid resting generally horizontally on top of said box to an open position, whereby, a scaffold from which the box may be suspended will not impede the use of the lid which may be opened and closed while the box is suspended from the scaffold.
