Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a tool container for receiving a tool. Background Art

[0002] Tool containers are known in various embodiments, in particular in the form of tool boxes or tool bags. Tool containers are used to store and provide various types of tools. Tool containers usually contain a set of special tools or a so-called tool kit, i.e., a collection of tools for a specific task or application.

[0003] Devices for storing tools are known, for example, from US Pat. No. 2,791,251 A or DE 10 2014 119 130 A1.

[0004] DE 27 36 994 C2 describes a tool or equipment case having an upper part which is hinged on the longitudinal sides of a lower case body and an insert which can be pivoted out and in by an opening and closing movement of the case body.

[0005] DE 29 38 552 A1 describes a plastic box, particularly for small electrical appliances, consisting of a deep-drawn lid, a deep-drawn bottom, and a connected back section. The lid and bottom can be pivoted relative to each other via the back section, so that when closed, the box forms the external shape of a book. The internal shape has a deep-drawn recess for receiving the small electrical appliance.

[0006] DE 20000 771 U1 also describes a tool case whose two case shells are articulatedly connected on one longitudinal side by a hinge.

[0007] In the tool case known from US 2016 / 0144502 A1, when the case lid is opened, the insert part together with the tools received therein is moved into a removal position.

[0008] US Pat. No. 5,139,143 A discloses a device for storing tools. The device comprises a flat base having an inner side and an outer side. The inner side is provided with a retaining device for securing the tool to the base. The base is divided into a plurality of surface segments by a plurality of hinges. The surface segments are foldable about the hinges from a tool removal position to a storage position. In the tool removal position, the surface segments lie substantially in a plane. In the storage position, the outer sides of the surface segments form a flat surface of a polygonal volume.

[0009] A storage device for tools is also known from EP 3 092 111 B1 as prior art.

[0010] The known tool containers are generally suitable and have proven themselves in individual cases, but appear to still require improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0011] Starting from this prior art, the object of the present invention is to improve the functionality of a tool container.

[0012] This object is achieved by the tool container according to the invention.

[0013] A tool container for receiving tools has a rectangular parallelepiped-shaped container body. The container body comprises a top wall, a bottom wall, a front wall, a rear wall, and two side walls. At least regions of the top wall and bottom wall, and the front wall and rear wall are formed by a cover. The cover is divided into a plurality of surface segments by hinges. These surface segments at least partially form the top wall, bottom wall, and front and rear walls. The surface segments are foldable about the hinges. Foldable means that the surface segments can be pivotally or rotatably moved relative to each other about the hinges.

[0014] According to the present invention, each side wall has an upper side wall portion and a lower side wall portion. Respectively, one upper side wall portion is arranged on the edge side of one side of the surface segment forming the cover wall, and the other upper side wall portion is arranged on the opposite edge of the surface segment forming the cover wall. The lower side walls are respectively arranged on the edge sides of the surface segment forming the bottom wall on opposite sides. The upper side wall portion and the lower side wall portion are joined to the surface segment, preferably joined by material locking, for example, by adhesive bonding. The upper side wall portion is preferably bonded to the surface segment partially, for example, over one-third of its length, so that a longitudinal section of the upper side wall portion does not join to the cover wall. In this regard, a preferred embodiment provides that the cover wall consists of two surface segments connected by a hinge. The two upper side wall portions arranged on the left and right sides of the cover wall are then joined by material locking only to one surface segment (i.e., to the front surface segment, that is, the surface segment facing the front wall). A surface section of the rear portion of the lid wall does not engage with the side wall upper portion and can move away from the side wall upper portion when the container body is opened and the upper portion is erected relative to the lower portion.

[0015] The upper side wall part and the lower side wall part are made of a dimensionally stable, rigid material, in particular plastic. A lower side wall part and an upper side wall part complement each other to form the side wall of the container body. They form the external lateral closure of the container body. The upper side wall part and the lower side wall part have functional elements on their inner sides. The functional elements can be functional bodies, functional surfaces or functional receiving parts. Functional bodies, such as support rods, are particularly used to stabilize the corresponding components or component parts. The functional surfaces can also have a reinforcing function for the side wall parts relative to each other. The functional surfaces can also be used to connect or fix container parts or container content parts. The functional receiving parts are particularly used to fix tools.

[0016] The lid wall, together with the upper portions of the two side walls, forms the lid portion. The bottom wall, together with the lower portions of the two side walls, forms the bottom portion. Each lower side wall is provided with a support receptacle into which the upper portion of the side wall can be inserted using coupling elements, allowing the upper portion to be raised at an angle relative to the lower portion. Thus, according to the present invention, the lid portion can be raised relative to the bottom portion. This improves the display and provision of tools and facilitates their removal. In summary, according to embodiments of the present invention, the tool container has improved functionality and user-friendliness.

[0017] Particularly preferably, the coupling element is formed by the end section of the rear wall side of the side wall upper part. Thus, the upper part can be inserted into the support receiving portion of the side wall lower part using the end section of the side wall upper part.

[0018] In this case, the wall region of the end section can be received in the support receptacle in a form-fitting manner.

[0019] A particularly practically advantageous embodiment of the tool container according to the invention provides that the support receptacle in the lower side wall and the coupling element in the upper side wall have supporting wall sections that are designed to complement one another.

[0020] In this context, it is also advantageous if a step is formed in the supporting wall section of the supporting wall receptacle, while the supporting wall section in the coupling element has a step.

[0021] The side wall upper portion has a rear wing oriented inwardly at a right angle to the adjacent side wall on the rear wall side. Outside the end section of the side wall upper portion, the supporting wall section is constructed with a step.

[0022] In the upright position of the lid, the rear wall and its side surface sections or rear surface sections provide support for the lid. To this end, the rear wall and the surface sections of the lid that are not firmly connected to the upper side walls form tabs. In the upright position of the lid, the rear wall lies flat on the ground and therefore extends away from the lower bottom wall, lying in one plane with the lower bottom wall. The rear surface sections of the lid form supporting struts or support tabs that extend from the rear wall at a support angle oblique to the lid.

[0023] The cover, also called the outer shell, can be made of a flexible material. It can be a textile material, or a cover made of plastic or a mixed plastic material. Practically advantageous materials for the cover are polyamide (nylon), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), or polypropylene (PP). Covers made of impregnated cardboard can also be used. In principle, covers made of imitation leather or natural leather can also be used. Combinations of textile materials and plastics, such as velvet and plastic film, also appear to be advantageous.

[0024] The cover can be made of a layer material, ie, be constructed in multiple layers. Preferably, the cover has a film-like envelope and an inner reinforcement insert.

[0025] The hinge between the surface sections of the cover is preferably designed as a film hinge. The film hinge is integrally formed with the elements to be connected, i.e., the surface sections to be connected. The film hinge forms a thin-walled connection between the surface sections, which, due to its flexibility, allows the connected surface sections to be rotated or folded relative to one another. The cover is thinner at the film hinge than in the connected surface sections. The film hinge extends, in particular, transversely across the width of the cover. Advantageously, the film hinge is formed from the material forming the outer envelope or outer layer of the cover.

[0026] The surface segments of the cover and the film hinges located between them have a sudden change in wall thickness between the film hinge and the corresponding surface segment. In principle, the surface segments themselves can have a sudden change in wall thickness. In particular, the surface segments can have a central thickened or reinforced surface area and a surrounding edge area of ​​lesser thickness. The sudden change in wall thickness can also be achieved by ribs or ridges in the surface segments, preferably in the surface segment forming the cover wall.

[0027] Form-locking elements are provided on the upper and lower side walls and engage with one another when the container body is closed. This embodiment improves the functionality and stability of the tool container according to the invention. It also reinforces the container body overall, thereby better protecting the interior of the container body and the tools stored therein from impacts and similar loads.

[0028] One advantageous embodiment provides that the form-fitting elements on the upper and lower side walls are formed, on the one hand, by pockets or pocket-like receptacles and, on the other hand, by complementary tabs or projections. When the container body is closed, these tabs or projections engage in the corresponding pockets or receptacles. The pockets or receptacles on the one hand and the tabs or projections on the other hand have obliquely extending flanks. A practically advantageous embodiment provides that the pockets or receptacles are configured in a trapezoidal shape, and the corresponding tabs or projections are designed in a complementary trapezoidal shape.

[0029] Another aspect of the present invention provides that carriers can be inserted transversely between the lower side walls and / or transversely between the upper side walls. These carriers are provided for holding tools and / or tool receptacles for tools. In particular, the carriers are used to hold tool receptacles, wherein the tool receptacles can be replaceably mounted in the carriers. This allows for a modular design of the container interior and modular loading of the tool container. The tool container can be loaded according to the building block principle by combining different tool receptacles with correspondingly different tools for different uses and applications.

[0030] Preferably, the carrier is composed of a track, in particular a track made of light metal. Of course, the carrier also can be made of other materials, for example plastics.

[0031] The track-shaped carrier has a central web, which has longitudinal strips oriented transversely at right angles to the web on the end sides, extending in the longitudinal direction of the carrier. Flanges pointing inwards to each other are connected to the upper longitudinal sides of the longitudinal strips, which form clamping elements for receiving and / or fixing tool receptacles. The clamping elements can be arranged continuously along the longitudinal sides of the carrier. Of course, other embodiments of the clamping elements can also be adopted. The carrier has fixing elements, such as webs, on the bottom side. By means of these fixing elements, the carrier can be received and positioned in a base, for example in a slot. In particular, the base in the form of a slot or a similar form-locking receptacle is constructed in particular in the lower side wall and / or the upper side wall, in particular in an inwardly projecting wall section of the lower side wall or the upper side wall and / or in a functional element arranged there.

[0032] Furthermore, a holding section for securing tools and / or tool receptacles is provided on the lower side wall and / or the upper side wall. The holding section can be configured so that individual tools are held there in a positionally oriented manner. Another advantageous aspect provides that the holding section holds a tool receptacle for a set of tools.

[0033] A particularly advantageous embodiment provides that at least one tool receptacle is pivotably arranged in the container body. In the closed storage position of the container body or tool container, the tool receptacle, together with the tool received therein (e.g., an angle wrench), lies in a plane parallel to the bottom wall and / or the cover wall. In the removal position, the tool receptacle is raised, i.e., folded open from the storage position, and oriented transversely at an angle, preferably at a right angle, to the bottom wall and / or the cover wall.

[0034] Another aspect of the invention provides that the reinforcement insert is integrated into the surface section of the cover. The reinforcement insert is embedded in the material of the surface section.

[0035] The reinforcing inserts can be made of different materials, such as plastic or metal. In practice, it is advantageous to use at least two reinforcing inserts made of different materials. In this case, the reinforcing insert can be made of plastic (e.g., fiberglass-reinforced plastic), and at least one other material insert can be made of metal (particularly ferromagnetic material). This metal reinforcing insert has the additional function of locking the container body.

[0036] An advantageous embodiment provides that the tool container has a locking feature, in particular a magnetic locking feature, for locking the container body.

[0037] The locking mechanism comprises at least one magnet and a closing element that interacts with the magnet. The closing element is made of a ferromagnetic material. In this case, it is preferably a reinforcing insert in the surface section of the cover that forms the front wall. The front wall can also be formed from two surface sections. In this case, one surface section is connected to the surface section of the bottom wall via a hinge, preferably the surface section on the bottom side of the front wall is securely joined to the end face of the lower side wall. The upper surface section is connected to the surface section that forms the lid wall and forms a closing tab for locking the front side of the container body.

[0038] Another advantageous embodiment stipulates that magnet, particularly two magnets are set respectively in the outer area of ​​bottom.In this case, permanent magnet is arranged in the wing pointing to front wall, and wherein this wing is the one-piece component of the preferred material consistency of side wall bottom.

[0058] exist Figures 1 to 18 1 and 2. In the drawings, the same reference numerals are used for the same or similar components even if repeated description is omitted for simplicity.

[0059] Figure 1 The tool container 1 according to the invention is shown in its closed tool storage position.

[0060] Figures 2 to 7 as well as Figure 17 The view of FIG. 1 shows the opened tool container 1 .

[0061] Additionally with the help of Figures 8 to 16 and Figure 18 The figures of FIG. 1 illustrate the components and component parts of the tool container 1 .

[0062] The tool container 1 for receiving tools has a cuboid container body 2 in its closed storage position. The tool container 1 contains a tool set of various tools 3, 4.

[0063] The container body 2 has a cover wall 5, a bottom wall 6, a front wall 7, a rear wall 8 and two side walls 9, 10. The cover wall 5, the bottom wall 6, the front wall 7 and the rear wall 8 are formed by a cover 11.

[0064] Especially in Figure 8The cover 11 can be seen in the figure. The cover 11 is divided into surface sections 13-18 by a hinge 12. Two surface sections 16 and 17 form the lid wall 5. The surface section 14 forms the bottom wall 6, and the surface section 15 forms the rear wall 8 of the container body 2. The surface section 18 forms the front wall 7, and the relatively short front surface section 13 is arranged in an integrated manner on the front wall 7 and overlaps with the front surface section 18 or the front wall 7 part. The surface sections 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 can be folded around the hinge 12. The front surface section 13 can also be folded around the hinge 12 arranged towards the surface section 14. However, the front surface section 13 is firmly fixed to the container body 2.

[0065] The hinges 12 between the various surface sections 13-18 of the cover 11 are constructed as film hinges. The film hinges extend across the width of the cover 11 and create a thin-walled connection between each adjacent surface section 13-18, so that their flexibility allows the connected surface sections 14-18 to be rotated or folded relative to each other. The cover 11 is thinner in the film hinge portion than in the surface sections 13-18. The outer envelope 19 of the cover 11 is made of a film-like material, such as polyamide or another resistant plastic film. Reinforcement inserts 20 and 21 are integrated into the surface sections 14-18 of the lid wall 5, bottom wall 6, front wall 7, and rear wall 8. In the surface sections 14-17 forming the lid wall 5, rear wall 8, and bottom wall 6, the reinforcement insert 20 is made of plastic, such as glass fiber reinforced plastic. The reinforcement insert 21 in the surface section 18 forming the front wall 7 is made of sheet metal, particularly zinc sheet. Figure 8 Two reinforcing inserts 20 and 21 are shown as examples. One reinforcing insert 20 can be seen in the rear surface section 16 of the cover wall 5. This reinforcing insert 20 is made of fiberglass-reinforced plastic. Furthermore, one reinforcing insert 21 is shown in the front surface section 18 forming the front wall 7. This reinforcing insert 21 is made of sheet metal.

[0066] The side walls 9 and 10 are each formed by an upper side wall part 22 and a lower side wall part 23. One upper side wall part 22 is arranged on the edge of each of the two surface sections 16 and 17 forming the cover wall 5. The upper side wall part 22 is firmly joined, in particular materially joined, preferably adhesively bonded, to the surface section 17 facing the front of the front wall 7. The upper side wall part 22 has inwardly directed flanks 24 on the cover side. With the outer surfaces of the flanks 24, the upper side wall part 22 rests on the inside or on the bottom against the surface section 17 and joins it along its length parallel to the side wall 9 and 10.

[0067] The side wall lower parts 23 are respectively arranged on the edge sides of the mutually opposite outer longitudinal sides of the surface section 14 forming the bottom wall 6 and are firmly joined to the surface section 14. This also takes place along the flanks 25 of the bottom side.

[0068] A side wall lower part 23 and a side wall upper part 22 respectively complement each other to form the side wall 9 or 10 of the container body 2 .

[0069] The lid wall 5 and the two upper side wall portions 22 form a lid portion 26. The bottom wall 6 and the two lower side wall portions 23 form a bottom portion 27. Each upper side wall portion 22 and each lower side wall portion 23 have form-locking elements 28 and 29 that engage with one another when the container body 2 is closed. The lower side wall portions 23 have an upwardly protruding pocket section 30 in the middle longitudinal section. Inside, each pocket section 30 has a trapezoidal pocket recess 31. The recess 31 is bounded by a bottom tab 32 and two side struts 33 and forms the form-locking element 28. The form-locking element 29 on the upper side wall portion 22 is formed by a tongue section 34. The tongue section 34 is designed to complement the pocket section 30 and also has a trapezoidal configuration, with an end tab 35 and two obliquely extending end bevels 36.

[0070] On each side wall lower part 23, a support receiving portion 37 is provided, into which the side wall upper part 22 can be inserted using a coupling element 38. In this way, the cover part 26 can be erected at a certain angle relative to the bottom part 27. In particular, Figure 2 and Figure 3 The upright tool removal or display position of the tool container 1 can be seen in FIG.

[0071] The coupling element 38 is formed by a rear-wall-side end section 39 of the side wall upper portion 22. For this purpose, the end section 39 is designed in a stepped manner. The support receptacle 37 and the coupling element 38, or the rear-wall-side end section 39, have supporting wall sections 40 and 41 that are designed to complement each other. A step 42 is formed in the supporting wall section 40 of the support receptacle 37. The supporting wall section 41 in the coupling element 38 also has a step 43. When the cover part 26 is raised, the end section 39 engages in the supporting receptacle 37. In this case, the supporting wall sections 40 and 41 support each other on the steps 42 and 43.

[0072] In the upright position of the cover part 26, a support 44 is provided for the cover part 26. The support 44 is formed by the rear wall 8 and the rear surface section 16 of the cover wall 5 on the rear wall side. Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the rear wall 8 is folded back and lies flat on the ground by raising the cover part 26. The rear wall 8 extends away from the bottom wall 6 of the bottom part 27, lying on the same plane as the bottom wall 6. The rear surface section 16 of the cover wall 5 rises obliquely from the cover part 26 and forms a supporting tab 45, which extends from the rear wall 8 at a supporting angle oblique to the cover part 26.

[0073] A carrier 46 can be inserted laterally between the lower side wall parts 23 and laterally between the upper side wall parts 22. In the embodiment of the tool container 1 shown here, the carrier 46 is shown in the cover part 26 between the upper side wall parts 22. The carrier 46 can hold a tool receptacle 47 provided for this purpose for the tools 3, 4.

[0074] exist Figure 14 The carrier 46 arranged in the cover part 26 can be seen in FIG. Figure 15 The view of FIG. 4 shows a single carrier 46 .

[0075] The carrier 46 is formed by a light metal rail 48. Claw-shaped first clamping elements 49 are provided on each longitudinal side of the rail 48 and serve to receive or secure the tool receptacle 47. The rail-shaped carrier 46 has a central base web and longitudinal strips oriented transversely and at right angles to the base web at the ends. Flanges pointing inwards from above and forming the first clamping elements 49 are attached to the longitudinal strips.

[0076] Figure 16 A tool receptacle 47 is shown. The tool receptacle 47 is equipped on its lower longitudinal side 51 with a fixing tab 50, which can be coupled to a first clamping element 49 of a rail 48 in a force-fitting and form-fitting manner. The tool receptacle 47 has a receptacle 52 for holding a tool 3. Figure 16 In the embodiment, the two receiving portions 52 are loaded with tools 3 in the form of tool heads (drill bits).

[0077] Figure 18 The view of FIG shows a tool receiving portion 53 for holding a tool 4 in the form of a screwdriver and tool accessories. A recess 54 matching the contour of the tool 4 is provided in the tool receiving portion 53 together with a second clamping element 55 integrated therein.

[0078] To hold the tool receptacle 53 in the container body 2, a fixing element 56 is provided in the form of a bottom-side tab 57 which can be inserted into a clamping receptacle 58. The clamping receptacle 58 can be inserted through a slot in the flank 24 of the upper side wall part 22.

[0079] The carrier 46 also has fastening elements 59 which are realized by bottom-side webs 57 . The fastening elements 59 provided on the underside of the carrier 46 are also fastened in clip receptacles 58 in the flanks 24 of the upper side wall part 22 .

[0080] Figure 11 and Figure 13The upper side wall portion 22 has a plurality of spaced-apart clamping receptacles 58 in the form of slots. These slots are arranged in a modular format so that either the carrier 46 or the tool receptacle 53 can be selectively inserted. It is understood that corresponding clamping receptacles 58 may also be provided on the lower side wall portion 23 depending on the loading of the tool container 1.

[0081] Figure 10 and 13 as well as Figure 4 and 5 In addition, the side wall lower part 23 has a holding section 60 for fixing a tool receiving portion 61. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The mounted tool receptacle 61 with the tool 3 integrated therein can be seen in FIG.

[0082] The holding section 60 is formed on the inwardly directed flank 25 of the underside of the side wall lower part 23 .

[0083] The side wings 25 point inwardly toward the interior of the container body 2. The holding section 60 is bounded in the middle of the side wall lower portion 23 by a transverse partition 62. The side wall lower portion 23 is bounded at the front wall end 63 and the rear wall end 64 by a front wing 65 and a rear wing 66. The side wall upper portion 22 also has a front wing 67 and a rear wing 68, respectively.

[0084] Figure 4 and Figure 5 The tool receiving portion 61 is shown fixed to the holding section 60. In particular, Figure 5 As shown, the tool receiving portion 61 is arranged to be pivotally movable in the holding section 60. In order to facilitate the removal of the tool 3 stored therein, the tool receiving portion 61 can be erected and raised upward from the bottom wall 6. Figure 5 The upright tool receptacle 61 is shown with an angle wrench received therein.

[0085] The tool container 1 has a locking portion 69. In the closed storage position, the locking portion 69 secures the front wall 7 of the container body 2. The locking portion 69 has two magnets 70 that interact with a closing element 71. The closing element 71 is formed by a reinforcing insert 21 of ferromagnetic material in the front wall 7 of the cover 11 or in the surface section 18 forming the front wall 7.

[0086] The magnets 70 are positioned in receptacles 72. Receptacles 72 are formed on the left and right front wings 65 of the side panel lower portion 23, respectively. The front wings 65 are integral components of the side wall lower portion 23, made of a single material. Receptacles 72 are provided in the front wings 65, and the magnets 70 are secured therein. A closing body 71 of the locking portion 69, formed from the reinforcing insert 21, interacts with the magnets 70 and, through the magnets 70, secures the front wall 7 to the front side of the container body 2.

[0087] The surface section 13 forms the front boundary of the front wall 7 at the end side between the two side wall lower parts 23 and is firmly engaged with the end-side joining surface 73 of the front wing 65 below the receptacle 72 for the magnet 70 .
