Abstract
Description
Technical area
[0001] The invention relates to a holding device, in particular a tool plate. State of the art
[0002] During the assembly and maintenance of machinery, many tools and various fasteners are used, such as screwdrivers, screwdriver heads, screws, nuts, springs, bolts, etc. To prevent loss, maintenance personnel usually place a container nearby to store these parts. Examples of containers include cups, boxes, plates, etc.
[0003] However, most of the above-mentioned parts containers are readily available and used only temporarily. They are not specialized tools designed specifically for parts storage. Therefore, there are many inconveniences in their use, such as easy tipping, easy dropping of parts, etc.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a tool plate to solve the above problems. Object of the invention
[0005] The object of the invention is to provide a tool tray that can be bent and deformed according to the environment, allowing the user to place tools stably in different environments, thus increasing work efficiency.
[0006] This object is achieved by the tool plate of the invention, which comprises: a plate having a plurality of receiving sections and at least one bendable section, wherein the at least one bendable section is connected between two receiving sections; and at least one first magnetic element arranged on at least one receiving section. Short description of the drawings Fig. 1 a perspective view of the embodiment of the invention, Fig. 2 an exploded view according to Fig. 1, Fig. 3 a sectional view according to Fig. 1, Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 Representations of bending the bendable portion of the embodiment of the invention. Ways to implement the invention
[0007] The following embodiments serve only to illustrate possible implementations of the present invention; they are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. The term "one" or "at least one" before the nouns mentioned in the article does not limit the number; it can also be "plural" as needed. Changing the number is also within the scope of the invention.
[0008] Fig. 1 to 5 show an embodiment of the present invention. The tool plate of the present invention comprises: a plate 1 and at least one first magnetic element 2.
[0009] The plate 1 has a plurality of receiving sections 11 and at least one bendable section 16. The at least one bendable section 16 is connected between two receiving sections 11. By bending the at least one bendable section 16, the relative position and angle of the two receiving sections 11 can be freely changed to adapt to the work environment. For example, but not limited to, the at least one bendable section 16 is bent into an angle. The receiving sections 11 can be located on different sides of the angle to allow the user to place the parts.
[0010] The at least one first magnetic element is arranged on at least one receiving section 11. The at least one first magnetic element 2 can attract hand tools or parts such as screwdrivers, screws, nuts, springs, bolts, etc. Furthermore, the at least one first magnetic element 2 also allows the plate 1 to adhere to magnetically removable objects, such as car bodies and metal casings, allowing it to be used near the user's work area.
[0011] Preferably, the material of the at least one flexible section 16 is an elastic material. This allows the at least one flexible section 16 to return to its original state when the external force disappears.
[0012] Another preferred option is for the plate 1 to be formed in one piece. This offers the advantages of rapid production, fewer components, simplified assembly steps, and a continuous and excellent structure.
[0013] Yet another preferred option is for the plate 1 to be made of a soft material, such as silicone, plastic, or rubber. At the same time, the soft plate 1 can ensure that the surface structure of the object it is in contact with remains intact and that no damage or marks are caused by friction or impact.
[0014] In the present embodiment, the number of at least one bendable portion 16 is a plurality. The plurality of bendable portions 16 are connected to each other and form a deformable region 17. A plurality of receiving portions 11 are located outside the deformable region 17. By arbitrarily twisting and bending the deformable region 17, the relative positions of the receiving portions 11 can be freely changed. The receiving portions 11 are arranged at equal intervals around the center of the deformable region 17.
[0015] Furthermore, at least one of the receiving sections 11 has an annular groove 12 and a rod 13. The annular groove 12 surrounds the rod 13. The annular groove 12 serves to receive the first magnetic element 2. The parts attracted by the first magnetic element 2 can rest laterally against the rod 13 to increase stability. In this embodiment, each receiving section 11 has the annular groove 12 and the rod 13. The number of the at least one first magnetic element 2 is a plurality.
[0016] Furthermore, the rod 13 has an interior space 14. The interior space 14 serves to accommodate a second magnetic element 3. The second magnetic element 3 can provide additional magnetic attraction in different positions and angles.
[0017] Preferably, the tool plate further comprises at least one projection 4. The projection 4 is inserted into the rod 13 and blocks the first magnetic element 2 in the direction of the annular groove 12. The projection 4 can ensure the structural integrity of the rod 13 and prevent the first magnetic element 2 from accidentally falling off. The thickness of the projection 4 is equal to the thickness of the plate 1.
[0018] Yet another preferred possibility is that the projection 4 has a hardness greater than the hardness of the rod 13 and is more wear-resistant, so that it can effectively withstand the impact or friction of parts.
[0019] In the present embodiment, the number of at least one projection 4 is a plurality. The number of projections 4 is equal to the number of first magnetic elements 2. Furthermore, the rod 13 is provided with an opening 15 communicating with the interior space 14. When the projection 4 is mounted on the rod 13, a portion of the projection 4 covers at least a portion of the opening 15 to block the second magnetic element 3.
