Description

[0001] The invention relates to a system with at least one tool case and a transport device for the tool case.

[0002] DE 20 2024 106 652 U1 discloses a trolley that can be equipped with tool compartments, for example. The content of DE 20 2024 106 652 U1 is incorporated into this application, for example with regard to the feasibility and / or possible embodiments of the invention.

[0003] The disadvantage is that there is no storage space for the tool compartments or tools while working.

[0004] The tool compartments or the tools must therefore either be placed on the floor or other storage options must be used.

[0005] It is therefore an object of the invention to create a system which provides a storage option.

[0006] This problem is solved by the subject matter having the features of the independent claim.

[0007] According to the invention, the system comprises a tool case, a transport device for the tool case and a table top.

[0008] The system includes all the necessary components, meaning the toolbox or the tools contained in the toolbox don't need to be placed on the floor. Because the tabletop is part of the system, no other storage options are necessary.

[0009] The table top can, for example, comprise or consist of a wood, plastic and / or metal material, e.g. aluminum.

[0010] The table top is preferably larger than the top of the tool case.

[0011] The system has a fastening device for releasably fastening the table top to the tool case and / or to the transport device in a transport position.

[0012] During transport, and preferably also during storage, the table top is stored safely and / or in a space-saving manner.

[0013] Preferably, the tabletop is mounted in such a way that the toolbox remains accessible. The tabletop does not have to be removed first to access the contents of the toolbox.

[0014] For example, the table top is oriented vertically in the transport position.

[0015] The system has a holding device for releasably fastening the table top to the tool case and / or to the transport device in a working position.

[0016] During work, the table top is securely attached to the tool case and / or the transport device.

[0017] Preferably, the table top is attached in such a way that the tool case remains accessible.

[0018] For example, the tabletop is oriented horizontally in the working position, thus providing a large storage area.

[0019] Preferably, the table top is attached to different attachment points and / or locations in the transport position and the working position. The attachment device and the holding device are therefore different from each other.

[0020] The system essentially forms a single unit, with the tool case, transport device, and tabletop always being transported together. In both the transport and working positions, the components are positioned directly next to each other and / or are connected to each other.

[0021] The system can be manufactured as a complete system. Alternatively, existing tool cases and / or transport devices can be retrofitted with a tabletop. For example, a component of the fastening device and / or the holding device can be mounted on the tool case and / or transport device, or the tool case and / or transport device can be adapted accordingly.

[0022] A kit can be provided to retrofit conventional tool cases and / or transport devices.

[0023] It was surprising that a system could be provided in such a simple way that already provides a storage option.

[0024] Further developments of the invention can also be found in the dependent claims, the description and the accompanying drawings.

[0025] According to one embodiment, the fastening device is designed as a plug-in device and / or has a plug-in device.

[0026] The table top can be easily attached to the tool case and / or the transport device for transport.

[0027] This allows for tool-free attachment.

[0028] According to a further embodiment, the holding device is designed as a locking device and / or has a locking device.

[0029] The table top can be easily locked onto the tool case and / or the transport device for working.

[0030] This allows for tool-free attachment.

[0031] According to a further embodiment, the locking device has a, preferably pre-tensioned, pin.

[0032] Preferably, two pins are provided, arranged on opposite sides. This holds the tabletop in place on both sides and prevents it from accidentally coming loose.

[0033] The locking mechanism is primarily used for locking. The main load of the tabletop can be supported by resting it on the tool case and / or the transport device.

[0034] According to a further embodiment, at least one base is provided for the table top.

[0035] In the working position, the base can, for example, support the side of the table top that is not supported by the tool case and / or the transport device.

[0036] For example, the base may comprise or consist of a wood, plastic and / or metal material, e.g. aluminum.

[0037] The base is preferably designed as a tube.

[0038] According to a further embodiment, the base is suspended from the table top in the transport position.

[0039] The stand can therefore be stored easily and / or without tools.

[0040] Alternatively, the stand can be attached to the tabletop via a hinge, for example. This allows the stand to be folded out and / or pivoted.

[0041] According to a further embodiment, the base is connectable or connected to the table top, preferably an underside of the table top, in the working position.

[0042] Preferably, the base is connected to the table top via a bayonet lock.

[0043] The stand can therefore be fixed easily and / or without tools.

[0044] Assembling and / or disassembling the table top is quick and easy.

[0045] According to a further embodiment, the base is height-adjustable and / or telescopic.

[0046] This allows for unevenness in the surface to be compensated for. Furthermore, the base can be used for tool cases and / or transport devices of different heights.

[0047] According to a further embodiment, several tool cases stacked on top of each other are provided.

[0048] Several tool cases can be placed on the transport device. These can be transported together. This significantly increases the number of tools transported.

[0049] For example, the upper tool cases can be removed even in the transport position. The tabletop doesn't get in the way.

[0050] According to a further embodiment, the transport device, e.g. a base of the transport device, has at least one wheel.

[0051] The system can therefore be transported easily and conveniently.

[0052] For example, exactly one wheel can be provided. Alternatively, exactly or at least two, three, or four wheels can be provided. The wheels can be designed, for example, as rubber wheels or rollers.

[0053] According to a further embodiment, the transport device is designed as a trolley.

[0054] For example, a trolley handle, preferably telescopic, can be provided.

[0055] The transport device can therefore be easily pulled.

[0056] According to a further embodiment, the transport device is designed as a sack barrow.

[0057] A sack barrow can also be called a stacker barrow.

[0058] For example, a sack barrow handle can be provided.

[0059] The transport device can therefore be easily pulled.

[0060] According to a further embodiment, the transport device has at least one handle and / or one bar.

[0061] In the working position, the table top can be placed on the handle or pole and / or supported on it.

[0062] According to a further embodiment, the handle and / or the bar forms a component of the holding device.

[0063] The tabletop can also include a component of the holding device. For example, a suspension device can be provided that can be attached to the handle and / or upright.

[0064] According to a further embodiment, the handle and / or the bar has an opening at the front.

[0065] For example, a pin of a locking device can engage to lock the opening.

[0066] All aspects, embodiments, and features of the invention described here can be combined with each other, preferably independently of the specific embodiment in which they are mentioned. Preferably, all subject matter of the dependent claims can be combined with each other and with the subject matter of the independent claim.

[0067] In general, it should be noted that terms like "a" or "an" do not necessarily mean "exactly one" or "exactly one," although this is also possible. The terms "a" or "an" can therefore be understood as "at least or exactly one" or "at least or exactly one." The use of the singular preferably includes the presence of the components in the plural, and vice versa.

[0068] It is noted that "vorzugsweise" and "vorzugt" can be translated as "preferably" in English. A feature introduced by "vorzugsweise" or "vorzugt" is purely optional, can be omitted, and does not constitute a limitation, for example, of the claims.

[0069] The invention is described below by way of example with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 a side view of an embodiment of a system according to the invention in the working position, Fig. 2 Detailed views of various components of the system according to Fig. 1, Fig. 3 a side view of another embodiment of a system according to the invention in the working position, Fig. 4 Detailed views of various components of the system according to Fig. 3, Fig. 5 Detailed views of various components of the system according to Fig. 3, Fig. 6 a side view of the system according to Fig. 3 in the transport position, and Fig. 7 a front view of various components of the system according to Fig. 3.

[0070] First, it should be noted that the illustrated embodiments are purely exemplary in nature. Individual features can be implemented not only in the combination shown, but also individually or in other technically feasible combinations. For example, the features of one embodiment can be combined in any way with features of another embodiment. The number and / or size of the tool cases is fundamentally arbitrary.

[0071] If a figure contains a reference symbol that is not explained in the immediately corresponding description, reference is made to the corresponding preceding or following explanations in the figure description. Thus, the same reference symbols are used for identical or comparable components in the figures and these are not explained again.

[0072] Fig. 1 shows a system with three tool cases 10, a transport device 12 designed as a trolley for the tool cases 10 and a table top 14.

[0073] The lowermost tool case 10 has plug-in tabs 15 as components of a fastening device 16 for releasably fastening the table top 14 in a transport position.

[0074] The transport device 12 has two wheels 18 arranged on opposite sides and a telescopic handle 20.

[0075] The handle 20 is height adjustable (shown in dashed lines) and has a horizontally oriented bar.

[0076] The handle 20, e.g. the bar, forms a component of a holding device 22 for releasably fastening the table top 14 to the transport device 12 in a working position.

[0077] A base 24 is connected to the underside of the tabletop 14. For example, one base 24 can be attached centrally to the tabletop 14. Alternatively, two bases can be provided on opposite edges of the tabletop 14.

[0078] As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 2, the base 24 can be hooked into the table top 14 for transport.

[0079] For this purpose, two suspension elements 26 can be provided, which can be suspended in recesses 27 of the table top 14.

[0080] The suspension elements 26 can each have a ring 28 for fastening to the base 24.

[0081] From this transport position, the base 24 can be removed from the table top 14 and fixed to the underside of the table top 14 via a bayonet lock 30.

[0082] The table top 14 has three plug-in elements 32 as components of the fastening device 16. The plug-in elements 32 can be inserted into the plug-in tabs 15 of the tool case 10 in the transport position.

[0083] The plug-in elements 32 can be screwed to the table top 14, for example, using screws 34.

[0084] The table top 14 has two suspension devices 36 as components of the holding device 22. These suspension devices 36 can be hooked onto the handle 20 in the working position.

[0085] Finally, the holding device 22 can have a locking device 38 with a pre-tensioned pin 40, e.g. a bolt, for locking.

[0086] The pin 40 can engage in a front opening of the handle 20.

[0087] Fig. 3 to 7 show a system in which the transport device 12 is designed as a sack barrow (in Fig. 6 without tool case 10).

[0088] In the working position, the table top 14 is attached to a horizontal bar.

[0089] Furthermore, the shape of the plug-in elements 32 is adapted to the conditions of a sack barrow.

[0090] As in Fig. 7, the base 24 can also be attached to the side of the table top 14.

[0091] Otherwise, the structure and function of the system are comparable to that in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 shown embodiment.

[0092] The system according to the invention can be quickly and easily adjusted from the transport position to the working position and vice versa. This is preferably done without tools.

[0093] While the system is extremely compact in the transport position, it provides a large storage option in the working position, e.g. for tools or entire tool cases.
