Description

Technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a tool storage device. State of the art

[0002] After removing the socket from its packaging box or hanging card, it is typically stored in a toolbox. However, with this storage method, the socket can easily roll around in the toolbox, causing unnecessary collisions. Alternatively, it can be stacked among many tools and be difficult to find. For this reason, the industry has developed socket storage devices to keep the sockets stable. The structure of a conventional socket storage device includes a sliding bar and a socket holder. The socket holder is mounted so that it can slide along the sliding bar, and the socket is detachably connected to the socket holder, thus fulfilling its storage or display function.

[0003] This type of socket storage device requires a lot of storage space and is not suitable for the user to carry. Furthermore, this socket storage device uses only a leaf spring for positioning. The socket can fall out very easily. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new and more advanced tool storage device. Object of the invention

[0004] The object of the invention is to provide a tool storage device that can be stably combined with a flexible substrate for positioning the tool. The design based on the flexible substrate significantly reduces the space required. The flexible substrate can also encase the tool for storage and transport.

[0005] This objective is achieved by the tool storage device of the invention, which comprises: a first component having a first mounting section and a first clamping section connected to each other; and a second component having a connecting section, a second mounting section and a second clamping section, wherein the connecting section and the second mounting section are arranged on two opposite sides of the second clamping section, wherein the connecting section serves to connect to a tool, wherein the second mounting section is connected to the first mounting section, and wherein the second clamping section and the first clamping section are used to clamp a flexible substrate together.

Ways to implement the invention

[0006] Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3, Fig. 4, Fig. 5, Fig. 6, Fig. 7, Fig. 8 to Fig. Figure 9 shows the tool storage device of the invention, which comprises: a first component 1 and a second component 4.

[0007] The first component 1 has a first mounting section 2 and a first clamping section 25, which are connected to each other. The second component 4 has a connecting section 5, a second mounting section 8, and a second clamping section 82. The connecting section 5 and the second mounting section 8 are arranged on two opposite sides of the second clamping section 82. The connecting section 5 is used to connect to a tool 9 (for example, a socket). The second mounting section 8 is connected to the first mounting section 2. The second clamping section 82 and the first clamping section 25 are used to clamp a flexible substrate B together. The flexible substrate B is deformable and bendable, allowing it to adapt to the storage space, making optimal use of different spaces and being convenient for the user to store and carry. Furthermore, the flexible substrate B can encase the tool 9.

[0008] The first assembly section 2 or the second assembly section 8 has a through-hole 21 and a base 22, and the other has at least one assembly arm 81. The through-hole 21 is provided in the base 22. The at least one assembly arm 81 is inserted into the through-hole 21 and connected to the base 22. The through-hole 21 extends through the base 22. The base 22 has a wall section 23 and at least one blocking section 24. The wall section 23 surrounds the through-hole 21, and the at least one blocking section 24 projects from the wall section 23. The at least one assembly arm 81 is blocked by the at least one blocking section 24 in the opening direction of the through-hole 21.

[0009] The first mounting section 2 has the through-hole 21 and the base 22. The base 22 is arranged on the first clamping section 25. The second mounting section 8 has at least one mounting arm 81 that projects from the second clamping section 82. When the at least one mounting arm 81 is connected to the base 22, the base 22 and the second clamping section 82 are aligned, thus keeping the first clamping section 25 and the second clamping section 82 spaced apart from each other. There are two at least one mounting arm 81. The two mounting arms 81 extend away from the second clamping section 82 and form an inverted V-shape.

[0010] The first clamping section 25 consists of a base body 26 and at least one wing section 29, which are connected to each other. The first assembly section 2 is arranged on the base body 26. The base body 26 has a first side 27 and a second side 28. The first side 27 faces the second component 4, and the second side 28 faces away from the second component 4. The at least one wing section 29 bends gradually from the second side 28 to the first side 27 and then to the second component 4 in order to clamp and position the flexible substrate B.

[0011] The number of at least one wing section 29 is two. The two wing sections 29 are arranged symmetrically on two opposite sides of the base body 26. In the direction from the second side 28 to the first side 27, the at least one wing section 29 does not project beyond the first assembly section 2.

[0012] The connecting section 5 has a main body 51, at least one positioning projection 6, and at least one resistance projection 7. The main body 51 extends transversely to the second clamping section 82 for connection with the tool 9. The main body 51 defines an axial direction 511 and a radial direction 512. The at least one positioning projection 6 and the at least one resistance projection 7 project from the main body 51 along the radial direction 512. The at least one positioning projection 6 engages in at least one positioning hole 91 of the tool 9. The at least one resistance projection 7 abuts an inner wall 92 of the tool 9, thereby improving the connection strength of the connecting section 5 and the tool 9, so that the tool 9 does not arbitrarily wobble relative to the main body 51.The user can attach or detach the tool 9 from the connecting section 5 by rotating the tool 9.

[0013] The main body 51 consists of a cover body 52 and a support rod 56. The cover body 52 is arranged on the second clamping section 82 and together they enclose an interior space 57. The cover body 52 has two side walls 53, two openings 54, and a ceiling wall 55. The outer contour of the ceiling wall 55 is octagonal. The two side walls 53 are symmetrically connected to two opposite sides of the ceiling wall 55. The openings 54 are defined between the two side walls 53. The at least one positioning projection 6 and the at least one resistance projection 7 are arranged on at least one of the two side walls 53. The support rod 56 is located in the interior space 57 and connects the ceiling wall 55 and the second clamping section 82. The support rod 56 is not connected to the two side walls 53 in order to allow the two side walls 53 to deform elastically.

[0014] The at least one positioning projection 6 and the at least one resistance projection 7 are arranged offset in the axial direction 511. In this way, the at least one positioning projection 6 and the at least one resistance projection 7 can bear against the tool 9 at different depths in the axial direction 511, so that the tool 9 can be connected stably and firmly to the connecting section 5.

[0015] In the radial direction 512, the height of the at least one positioning projection 6 is greater than the height of the at least one resistance projection 7 to ensure that the at least one positioning projection 6 engages to the depth of the at least one positioning hole 91.

[0016] The main body 51 further defines a circumferential direction 513. The at least one positioning projection 6 is hemispherical to allow it to slide easily into and out of the at least one positioning hole 91. The at least one resistance projection 7 is humped to gradually increase the resistance force during the rotation and locking process. The at least one resistance projection has a first surface 71 and a second surface 72, which are connected to each other. The second surface 72 serves to abut the inner wall 92. In the circumferential direction 513, the length of the first surface 71 is greater than the length of the second surface 72.
