Abstract

A safety switch of a toolbox comprises a box body having a first positioning portion; an outer cover; a buckle having a first positioning unit and an resisting end at an upper side of the buckle; a gap being formed between the outer cover and the box body when the outer cover is closed upon the box body; the first positioning unit being capable of buckling the first positioning portion of the box body. When the outer cover is closed upon the box body, the resisting end protrudes out of the gap so as to buckle the outer cover. The buckle has a slender neck portion. The outer cover has a notch or the size of the outer cover is smaller than that of the box body so that the resisting end can protrude out from the notch.
