Description

Technical area

[0001] The invention relates to the storage of tools, in particular a tool holder that can reliably hold and position the tool. State of the art

[0002] During the assembly / disassembly process of general products, it is usually necessary to use appropriate assembly / disassembly tools to ensure reliable connection or disconnection of many parts without damaging the parts. Common fasteners used to connect parts include screws, bolts, and so on. Hand tools such as wrenches are often used for these fasteners.

[0003] Hand tools are generally stored in storage spaces such as drawers and carts. However, the storage space lacks a well-positioned storage structure, resulting in many hand tools being stacked and placed haphazardly. As a result, it is difficult for users to find the necessary hand tools. The hand tools jam, interfere, and collide with each other, causing unnecessary structural damage to the hand tools' structure. Object of the invention

[0004] The object of the invention is to provide a tool holder that offers two different placement methods so that users can choose according to their needs so that tools can be stored neatly.

[0005] This object is achieved by the tool holder of the invention, which comprises a main body having a base and two support bodies, wherein the base forms an interior space along a first direction, wherein the two support bodies are spaced from each other and rise from the base along the first direction, wherein the two support bodies define an opening, wherein the opening is connected to the interior space, wherein a tool can be placed into the interior space of the base along the first direction, and wherein the tool can be brought into the interior space through the opening and supported by the two support bodies.

Ways to implement the invention

[0006] Fig. 1 to. Fig. 9 shows the embodiment of the present invention. The tool holder of the present invention includes: a main body 1.

[0007] The main body 1 has a base 11 and two support bodies 2. The base 11 forms an interior space 12 along a first direction 8. The two support bodies 2 are spaced apart from each other and rise from the base 11 along the first direction 8. The two support bodies 2 define an opening 3. The opening 3 is connected to the interior space 12. Among other things, the tool holder can be used in different ways according to different usage requirements. For example, if the first direction 8 is the same as the direction of gravity, a tool 7 can be placed into the interior space 12 of the base 11 along the first direction 8. The base 11 can support and confine the tool 7. If the first direction 8 is perpendicular to the direction of gravity, the tool 7 can be brought into the cavity 12 through the opening 3 and suspended by the two support bodies 2.

[0008] Each support body 2 has a support surface 21. The support surface 21 is located on the side of the support body 2 facing away from the interior space 12. When the tool 7 is brought through the opening 3 onto the main body 1, the support surface 21 can support the tool 7.

[0009] In the first direction 8, the end of the support surface 21 facing away from the base 11 is higher than the end of the support surface 21 closest to the base 11, so that the tool 7 moves closer to the base 11 to prevent the tool 7 from falling to the ground. In this embodiment, the support surface 21 is continuously inclined so that the tool 7 can slide smoothly on the support surface 21.

[0010] Each support body 2 also has a stopper 22. The stopper 22 protrudes from the end of the support surface 21 facing away from the base 11. The stopper 22 serves to block the tool 7 in the first direction 8. The stopper 22 can further prevent the tool 7 from falling. Alternatively, a transversely extending blocking part can be provided between the two support bodies 2. This blocking part can reliably block the tool 7 in the first direction 8, preventing it from accidentally separating.

[0011] The mutually facing sides of the two support bodies 2 each form a first step 23. The steps 23 face the support surfaces 21. The steps 23 protrude perpendicularly to the first direction 8 from the support surfaces 21. The steps 23 can be used as an additional support point for the tool 7, so that the tool holder can be used for tools 7 of different sizes and shapes.

[0012] The tool holder further comprises at least one magnet unit 6. The at least one magnet unit 6 is positioned on the base 11. The at least one magnet unit 6 allows the tool holder to be quickly positioned on a magnetically attractable object, for example, iron. In this embodiment, at least one first receiving chamber 131 is provided on the side of the main body 1 facing away from the interior space 12. The at least one magnet unit 6 is accommodated in the at least one first receiving chamber 131, which effectively prevents foreign objects from directly impacting the at least one magnet unit 6.

[0013] The base 11 has a bottom wall 15 and two side walls 16. The two side walls 16 rise laterally from the bottom wall 15. The number of at least one first receiving chamber 131 is two. The number of at least one magnet unit 6 is two. The two first receiving chambers 131 and the interior space 12 are located on two opposite sides of the bottom wall 15. The two magnet units 6 are arranged in the two first receiving chambers 131. Each magnet unit 6 contains a magnet 61 and two iron pieces 62. The magnet 61 is arranged between the two iron pieces 62. Furthermore, the base 11 is provided with a recess 14 on two opposite sides transverse to the first direction 8. Each recess 14 extends from the side wall 16 to the bottom wall 15.When the bottom wall 15 is positioned on an object, the recesses 14 can provide a clearance into which the fingers can protrude, so that the main body 1 can be gripped more easily.

[0014] In this embodiment, the tool 7 is a ratchet wrench. The tool 7 has a head 71 and a shaft 74. The head 71 can be optionally accommodated in the interior 12 or supported by the two support bodies 2. Each side wall 16 forms an arcuate main recess 17 and an arcuate secondary recess 18, which are arranged along the direction of the opening 3. The opening of the arcuate main recess 17 runs transversely to the opening 3. The arcuate main recess 17 is larger than the arcuate secondary recess 18. When the head 71 is accommodated in the interior 12, the arcuate main recess 17 can accommodate a plug-in projection 72 of the head 71. The arcuate secondary recess 18 serves to accommodate a rotary knob 73 of the head 71.

[0015] It should be noted that each side wall 16 further has two notches 19. The two notches 19 are located on opposite sides of the arcuate main recess 17. The two notches 19 are connected to the arcuate main recess 17 to expand the receiving space, thereby providing the advantage of accommodating more types of heads 71.

[0016] Preferably, the tool holder further comprises an uneven structure 4. The uneven structure 4 is provided on the outer side of the main body 1. When gripping, the contact area with the hand can be increased and the holding stability can be improved. In this embodiment, the uneven structure 4 includes a plurality of blind holes 41 and a plurality of ribs 42. The plurality of blind holes 41 are located on the two side walls 16 and the two support bodies 2. The plurality of ribs 42 are formed on the bottom wall 15.

[0017] The main body 1 preferably further comprises at least one anti-slip element 9. The material of the at least one anti-slip element 9 is, for example, rubber. The main body 1 forms at least one second receiving chamber 132 on the side facing away from the interior 12. The at least one anti-slip element 9 is arranged in the at least one second receiving chamber 132. Since the at least one anti-slip element 9 has a relatively high frictional resistance, it can effectively prevent the tool holder from slipping randomly.

[0018] Preferably, the tool holder also includes a size display unit 5. The size display unit 5 is provided on the main body 1 so that the user can quickly recognize the size of the tool 7 by visual inspection.
