The hook storage compartment which further comprising a second coupling piece and second coupling slots for coupling with the second coupling piece. The second coupling slots are provided on the surface end of the storage base and are symmetrically to the two sides of the strap storage slot. The second coupling piece sets across the strap storage slot and is provided with a positioning rod that inserts into the connecting ring of the hook on the binder straps.
According to the above technical arrangement, the primary and secondary strap are folded and then placed into the strap storage slot. The hook on the primary and secondary strap are stacked on top of each other and then inserted into the hook cover and are rest on the pair of storing steps of the hook storage compartment; which the width of the pair of storing steps equals the width of the hooks. After that, the second coupling piece couples with the second coupling slots and the positioning rod is inserted into the connecting ring of the hooks. With the pressing force from the hook cover and the positioning rod, the hooks are securely stored in the hook storage compartment. The binder body is placed in the binder body storage compartment, more specifically, the base of the binder body couples with the pair of coupling walls of the binder body storage compartment, the wide hook hooks onto the reel on the binder body and the concave arc section of the first coupling piece hooks onto the beam on the base of the binder body.
With the above technical arrangement, the two hooks are securely rested in the hook storage compartment, the binder body is securely rested in the binder body storage compartment, and the primary and secondary strap are rested in the strap storage slot positioned below the hook storage compartment and the binder body storage compartment. As the hooks and the binder body are securely rested in the hook storage compartment and the binder body storage compartment respectively, the restriction allows the primary and the secondary strap to be also securely stored. When using, the user simply removes the first coupling piece from the first coupling slots and then remove the binder body with a slight downward movement to unhook the binder body from the wide hook. To remove the hooks on the primary and the secondary strap, the user simply removes the second coupling piece from the second coupling slots, then with a slight downward movement to remove the hooks from the hook cover. The primary and secondary strap are also removed from the strap storage slot when the binder body and the hooks are removed from storage compartments. It can be seen from the above technical arrangement, the present invention of strap binder storage box provides an easy and secure way to store and access strap binders.
As a technical restriction to the number of storage compartments according to the above arrangement, the number of storage compartments provided in the present invention is four and the four storage compartments are arranged inline on the storage base.
As a preferred embodiment of the binder body storage compartment in the present invention, the binder body storage compartment which is further comparing a pair of positioning units.
