Description

[0001] The invention relates to a device for storing tools. Devices for storing tools are known from DE 102 52 747 A1, DE 10 2011 054 219, DE 20 2009 012 145 U1, and DE 10 2005 061 185 A1.

[0002] US 5 217 115 A discloses the preamble of claim 1.

[0003] Further examples are known from US 6 244 486 B1, US 2002 / 092786 A1, US 2 791 251 A, US 2003 / 042160 A1, US 5 139 143 A or FR 1 519 783 A.

[0004] In particular, bags made of textile material are known which can be brought from a removal position, in which the flat base body is spread out in one plane, into a storage position by rolling up.

[0005] The invention is based on the object of developing a known tool bag in a user-friendly manner.

[0006] This object is achieved by the invention as defined in the claims. The device according to the invention comprises a flat base body having an inner side and an outer side. Holding devices for securing the tools to the base body are provided on the inner side. The base body is divided into surface sections by a plurality of hinges. The surface sections can be folded into a storage position around the hinges formed by folding lines. In the storage position, the surface sections complement each other to form an outer surface of a solid body. This forms a polygonal solid body with a plurality of faces, for example, two broad side faces, two narrow side faces, and two end faces. The end faces can run parallel to one another, so that the polygonal solid body has the shape of a prism. The surface sections of the base body can each form a dimensionally stable and flexible flat body.At least the outer surface can be made of a textile material so that the device is tactilely appealing. It is preferably a soft textile so that the closed or opened device can also be placed on sensitive surfaces, for example the bodywork of motor vehicles. As a result of the fold lines, the hinged surface sections can be placed not only on a flat base but also on an open surface, for example a curved surface. In the removal position, the individual hinged surface sections can nestle against the surface contour of the base like tank tracks. The rigidity of the walls is determined in particular by the rigidity of plastic insert plates, which are preferably sewn between two textile layers.The two textile layers can be directly connected to one another along the hinges, for example with a seam. The insert plates can be magnetically equipped so that the opened device is held to a steel base by magnetic force. The magnetic equipment of the insert plates can also be used to fix the device in its closed position. The end faces of the polygonal solid body can be closed by tabs that are attached to the base body. The edge of the end face can be formed by the outer edge of a hem. The base body can be placed on this edge formed by the hem in its stored position. An end face can also be formed by several tabs. The several tabs then complement each other to form an essentially flat end face.The tools are attached to the inside of the surface sections with holding devices, for example made of plastic.

[0007] Gaps remain next to a tool. These gaps allow the user to grasp the tools. The gaps are preferably large enough to accommodate fingertips. In the storage position, sections of tools that are assigned to other surface sections, in particular adjacent ones or those opposite each other in the storage position, engage in these gaps. The arrangement of the tools is selected such that the gaps between or next to the tools are filled or at least partially filled by sections of other tools in the storage position. If the device, which is preferably designed as a tool pocket, is closed, tools from adjacent or opposite sides of the pocket engage in the gaps in order to fill them as much as possible.It is considered advantageous that the tools are arranged with the greatest possible overview when opened, but that the bag has a minimal pack size when closed. In particular, it is provided that the wide side surface sections carry holding devices that are at a distance from the fold lines. This creates clearance spaces into which tools that are attached to the inside of the narrow surface sections can enter when the device is closed. The tools attached to the narrow surface sections can have a width that essentially corresponds to the distance between the insides of the wide surface sections that lie opposite one another in the storage position. For example, a ratchet can be attached to a narrow surface section whose ratchet head is only slightly narrower than the width of the wide surface section.Sockets can be attached to the inside of the opposite narrow surface section. Each socket sits on an associated holder, which can be made of plastic. The socket with the largest wrench size has a diameter that is only slightly smaller than the width of the narrow surface section. In particular, it is provided that elongated tools, such as shaft extensions for a ratchet or the ratchet itself, are arranged parallel to the fold lines. Shorter tools, for example bits or sockets, are arranged with their axes transverse to the direction of extension of the fold lines. The device according to the invention is, in particular, a textile tool bag consisting of two textile layers sewn together along the fold line. The peripheral edge of the two textile layers is closed using a hem tape.The tabs forming the end surfaces are attached to one of the wide-surface sections by means of the hem band. The stiffening elements, which are preferably made of plastic and are formed by flat bodies, are located in the spaces between the textile layers, which are separated from one another by seams and in particular by seams forming the fold lines. The holders can be formed by loops made of textile or plastic, in particular soft or hard plastic, into which the tools can be inserted. It is particularly advantageous if the insert panels or several sections of a uniform insert panel are connected to one another via spring bars, which hold the insert panels or their sections in a plane when not tensioned. The bars are bent, in particular bent by 90°, when the tool bag is closed.They then provide a spring force that causes the tool bag to unfold automatically when its closure is opened. In a preferred embodiment, the tool bag has an insert body that stiffens at least two, preferably all, surface sections. In the area of the hinges, the flat body has slits. The area between each slit and the outer edge then forms a spring bar. The insert body can be a flat body made of a spring-elastic plastic material that has a plurality of parallel slits that are spatially assigned to the hinges. The flat body, which is encased in a textile casing, forms bars / bridges in the areas adjacent to the slits. The textile layers are connected to one another by means of seams, with seams running through the slits.

[0008] The invention relates to a further development of the previously described storage device for tools, in which the tools are screwdriver bits, in particular screwdriver bits, which have an axial length of 25 mm and a ¼" hexagon section with which the bits are inserted into insertion openings of holders. For this purpose, at least two surface sections each have one or more holding devices. The holding devices can be made of plastic and connected, for example, glued, to the inner surfaces of the storage device. Each of the holding devices has a plurality of rectilinear rows spaced from one another by spacer gaps, each having a plurality of insertion openings for the screwdriver bits.The rows of different holding devices are arranged offset from one another in such a way that when the device is closed into the storage position, the screwdriver bits inserted into the insertion openings of one holding device enter the spacing spaces of the other holding device.

[0009] Embodiments of the invention are explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings. They show: Fig. 1 the top view of a textile tool bag of a first embodiment in the open removal position in plan view, Fig. 2 the textile tool bag with the direction of the arrow II in Figure 1, Fig. 3 a perspective view of the opened tool bag, Fig. 4 a perspective view of the opened tool bag, wherein a narrow surface section 21 is brought into a 90° position relative to a wide surface section 20, so that the head of a ratchet 13 engages in a clearance space 27, Fig. 5 a perspective view in which another narrow surface section 19 is brought into a 90° position relative to a wide surface section 20, so that nuts 7 fastened to the narrow surface section 19 dip into a clearance space 28 of the wide surface section 20, Fig. 6 the tool bag in its closed position, Fig. 7 the tool bag in the closed position with the narrow surface 19 removed in the direction of the arrow VII in Figure 6 , Fig. 8 the tool bag with the narrow side 21 removed in the direction of arrow VIII in Figure 6 , Fig. 9 the tool pocket with removed surface sections 18, 22 in the direction of arrow IX in Figure 6 , Fig. 10the section along the line X - X in Figure 8 but with all surface sections, Fig. 11 the section along the line XI - XI in Figure 8 with all surface sections, Fig. 12 the section along the line XII - XII in Figure 1 , Fig. 13 a representation according to Figure 1 a second embodiment, with unequipped tool holders, Fig. 14 the stiffening insert of the Figure 13 illustrated embodiment, Fig. 15 a third embodiment in an open position of the storage device, Fig. 16 a section along the line XVI - XVI in Fig. 15 in the closed position, Fig. 17 a fourth embodiment of the invention in the open position, Fig. 18 the section along the line XVIII - XVIII in Fig. 17 in the closed view, Fig. 19 a fifth embodiment of the invention in an open position and Fig. 20 the Fig. 19The illustrated embodiment in a closed position cut along the section line XX -XX in Fig. 19 .

[0010] The embodiment is a device for storing tools, in particular screwing tools 5, 7, 9, 11, 13. It has a flat base body 1, which has an inner side 2 and an outer side 3. The inner side 2 is formed by a first textile layer and the outer side 3 is formed by a second textile layer. On the inner side 2, holding devices 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 are provided for securing the tools 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, with which the tools 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 are fastened to the base body 1. The base body 1 is divided into several surface sections 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 by several hinges 14, 15, 16, 17. The surface sections can be moved from a tool removal position, as shown in the Figure 1is shown, in which the surface sections 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 lie essentially in one plane, around the hinges 14, 15, 16, 17 formed by folding lines are folded into a storage position, which in the Figure 6 is shown. In the storage position, the tools 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 are not visible. Two surface sections 22, 18 overlap in regions and are attached to one another with fastening elements not shown, for example with a snap fastener, a Velcro fastener or a magnet. In the storage position, the textile tool bag has the shape of a polygonal solid. In the exemplary embodiment, the polygonal solid forms a cuboid. The end faces of the cuboid are formed by tabs 26 which, due to a hem 31, are arranged slightly recessed from the edge of the base body 1.

[0011] The rigidity of the individual surface sections is ensured by pocketed flat bodies. These flat bodies are inserts with a rectangular cut, which can be made of plastic. The flexibility of the base body in the area of the hinge lines 14, 15, 16, and 17 is achieved by the two textile layers being directly sewn together. Figures 1 to 11 This type of connection cannot be seen, but it can be seen in the sectional view of the Figure 12 .

[0012] The arrangement of the tools within the device is selected such that, when opened, tools 5, 7, 9, 11, and 13 are arranged with the greatest possible overview, yet the bag has a minimal pack size when closed. In particular, it is intended that, when opened, there is sufficient space next to the tools, and in particular on opposite sides of the tool, so that a user can hold the tool between two fingers. This clearance, which can be used for removal and loading, is filled by another tool when closed.

[0013] On a wide surface section 20 there is a holding device 10 forming two loops. In one of the loops there is a long extension shaft for a ratchet. In the other loop there is a shorter extension shaft for a ratchet. In another loop 8 there is a chuck 9 into which a bit 5 can be inserted. The axes of the shafts 11, 11' and the chuck 9 run parallel to the hinge lines 14, 15, 16, 17. There is a free space 27 between the shaft 11 and the fold line 16. On the opposite side of the shaft 11 there is a further spacing space 28 between the shaft 11 and the hinge line 15. Rectangular tabs 26 are sewn onto the two opposite free edges of the wide surface section 20.The narrow surface section 21, which is connected to the wide surface section 20 via the hinge line 16, carries a ratchet 13, the ratchet head of which has a width that is only slightly less than the width of the narrow surface section 21. The arm of the ratchet 13 is inserted into two loops 12 and has an axial extension that runs parallel to the hinge lines 14, 15, 16, 17. If the narrow surface section 21 is released from the... Figure 1 shown open position in the Figure 4 shown position, i.e. positioned 90° around the hinge line 16, the head of the ratchet 13 pivots into the clearance space 27 next to the shaft 11.

[0014] The narrow surface section 19, which adjoins the wide surface section 20 via the hinge line 15, carries a plurality of nuts 7, namely nine, each having a different wrench size. Plastic push-on holders 6 are connected to the inside of the narrow surface section 19, onto which the nuts 7 are pushed such that their axes extend transversely to the direction of extension of the hinge lines 14, 15, 16, 17. If the narrow surface section 19 is Figure 1 shown open position in the Figure 5 shown position is pivoted open by 90°, the nuts 7 fastened to the narrow surface section 19 are pivoted into the clearance space 28 next to the shaft 11.

[0015] The narrow-surface section 19 is connected to a wide-surface section 18 via the hinge 14. The wide-surface section 18 carries screwdriver bits 5. Each screwdriver bit 5 is inserted into a holder 4. The holder 4 is formed by a loop. A loop body forms several loops. The loops form cavities that extend in a direction transverse to the hinge lines 14, 15, 16, 17.

[0016] The polygonal sections of the screwdriver bits 15 (not shown) are inserted into the loops 4, so that the working tips of the bits 5 protrude from the loops. Spaces remain between the individual working tips so that the bits can be held between two fingers.

[0017] A clearance space 29 extends between the holder 4 and the hinge line 14. If the narrow surface section 19 is brought into a 90° position relative to the wide surface section 18, the nuts 7 pivot into the clearance space 29. In the closed state, the clearance space 28 is opposite the clearance space 29.

[0018] It is considered advantageous that the attachment holders 6 protrude transversely to the surface extension of the inner side 3 when the device is open. This allows for easy loading and removal of the nuts.

[0019] The closure tab, which is connected to the narrow surface section 21 via the hinge line 17, is also formed by a surface section 22. In the closed state, the surface section 22 overlaps the surface section 18.

[0020] The Figures 13 and 14 show a second embodiment that differs from the one shown in the Figures 1 to 12illustrated embodiment essentially only by the insert body 23. The insert body is in plan view in the Figure 14 It consists of a single flat body made of a flexible plastic. The flat body 23 has four parallel slits 32. The flat body 23 is sandwiched between two textile layers. The textile layers are connected to one another with seams, whereby the seams run through the slits 32. The slits 32 coincide with the hinge lines 14, 15, 16, 17. The slits 32 are enclosed all the way around and have a narrow outline. The two longitudinal edges run parallel to one another. Between each narrow edge of the slit 32 and the outline contour line of the flat body 32, webs 33 are formed. These material webs form spring webs. When folding the tool bag from the Figure 13shown unfolded position into a closed position, such as the Figure 6 As shown, the spring bars 33 are bent by 90°. Their spring tension causes the tool bag to automatically fold into the Figure 13 The position shown opens when the closure is opened. The material of the insert body 23 can be a fiber-reinforced plastic, for example a glass-fiber-reinforced plastic.

[0021] The Figures 15 and 16show a third embodiment of the invention, in which the storage device in the open position has a flat base body consisting of surface sections 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 connected to one another by hinge lines 14, 15, 16, 17. The surface sections 18, 20 and 21 are equipped with tools. The narrow surface section 21 has a fastening tab 21 that holds a screwdriver handle 31 with a plug-in chuck. The wide surface section 20 has two holders 4 arranged parallel to the hinge lines 15, 16 for receiving bits 5. The holders 4 are plastic bodies m with insertion openings for one bit 5 each. The holders 4 are connected flatly to the inside of the surface section 20, which also has two tabs 26 that close the narrow sides in the closed position.

[0022] In the area of the hinge 16, a clearance space 27 is formed into which the screwing tool 13 can pivot when closed.

[0023] The insertion openings of the holding device 4 for the individual bits 5 are arranged one behind the other in a row. Between the two rows, a space 28 remains, into which a row of bits arranged on the surface section 18 engages when closed. The surface section 18 carries a holding device 4 with insertion openings for bits 5. The surface section 18 carries only a single row of bits. Next to the row are spaced openings 27, 29, into which the bits seated on the surface section 20 can pivot when folded.

[0024] In the Figures 17 and 18In the fourth exemplary embodiment shown, a narrow side wall 21 carries a lining 13 which is fastened to the narrow side wall by means of a loop 12. This storage device also has surface sections 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 which abut one another at parallel hinge lines 14, 15, 16, 17. Two wide surface sections 18, 20 which lie opposite one another in the closed position are each equipped with holders 4 made of plastic for receiving bits. The holders 4 each have insertion openings for one bit. The insertion openings are arranged as rows running transversely to the hinge lines 14, 15, 16. The rows are spaced from one another in such a way that clearance spaces 27, 28 are formed between the rows. The bits from the other wide side surface 18, 20 enter the clearance spaces 27, 28 when the storage device is closed.

[0025] The outer edges of the surface section 20 each carry a tab 26 which, when closed, forms a side wall of the cuboid storage device.

[0026] The Figures 19 and 20 The fifth embodiment shown, like all other embodiments, is a screwdriver storage device with a flat base body when opened. The base body has a textile outer surface and preferably also a textile inner surface. The screwdriver 13 is attached to a narrow side surface 21 by means of a loop 12. The opposite narrow side surface 19 carries a holder 4 for screwdriver bits. The screwdriver bits are arranged in several rows that extend transversely to the orientation of the hinge axes 14, 15. Each insertion opening has three receiving openings for bits. A chuck 9 is inserted into one receiving opening.

[0027] The wide side surface 20 is equipped on its inner side with two holding devices 4 running parallel to the hinge lines 14, 15. Each of the two parallel holding devices has several rows of insertion openings, each for a bit 5. Here, too, each row contains three insertion openings, with a total of six insertion openings arranged one behind the other in a direction transverse to the hinge lines 14. The rows are single-row, so that each bit has a maximum of two neighbors.

[0028] Between the single rows of storage devices there are clearance spaces 27, 28 into which bits of the surface section 19 or 20 can be inserted when the device is closed.

[0029] The Figures 15 to 20The storage devices shown have a total of five surface sections 18 to 22. When closed, the surface sections 18, 22 are in contact, virtually parallel to each other. The surface section 22 is provided with adhesives that can adhere to the outside of the surface section 18 when the device is closed.

[0030] Of particular inventive importance in the embodiments illustrated in Figures 15 to 12 is the parallel, juxtaposed arrangement of several, in particular two, plastic-made holding devices 4 for bits 5, which are in particular equipped with bits 5. A sufficiently large clearance 28 is located between the holding devices 4 so that the bits 4 arranged in the holders can be removed using two fingers. The clearance 28 is not only large enough to allow a thumb to pass through, but also wide enough to allow the bits inserted into a holder 4 of another surface section 18, 19 to enter it.

[0031] Of independent importance is also that the surface section 20, which has at least one or more holding devices 4 for bits 5 or holding devices 4 equipped with bits 5, is assigned tabs 26 which, in the closed state, form opposing walls of the storage device, wherein the tabs 26 are in particular flexibly fastened to the edges of the surface section 20, for example sewn or glued.

[0032] The assignment of a handle 13 or another screwing tool to a narrow surface section 21, which adjoins a wide surface section 20, also has an independent meaning, wherein a second narrow surface section 19, which adjoins the wide surface section 20, is assigned holders 4 which are or are equipped with bits 5.

[0033] It is furthermore of inventive importance that a lining 9 or an extension piece is inserted into an insertion opening of a holder 4 assigned to a narrow surface section 19, which, in the closed state of the storage device, lies between two row-shaped holding sections of the holding device 4, which are assigned to the wide surface section 20, which directly adjoins the narrow surface section 19 at a hinge line 15.

[0034] Of further inventive importance is that holders 4 assigned to a first surface section 20 have spaced-apart rows of insertion openings for bits 5 and another surface section 18, 19 has identical holders 4 for bits 5, the row-shaped insertion openings for bits 5 of which are offset from the row-shaped insertion openings of the holder 4 of the surface section 20 in such a way that the bits inserted in the insertion openings of the respective holding device 4 dip into the spacing spaces 27, 28 of the respective other holding device 4.
