Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to storage devices, and in particular to a technical improvement of a tool storage device. Prior Technology

[0002] A typical tool hanger is used to attach one or more tools for easy storage and carrying. A conventional tool hanger includes a slide rail and a plurality of slides slidably disposed on the slide rail, which can accommodate multiple tools.

[0003] Conventional slide rails are made of metal, which limits their processing and design. Furthermore, the slide rails have poor anti-slip properties, causing them to easily loosen or wobble during use, especially when carried or displayed vertically. They are more prone to shifting relative to the slide rails due to gravity or external forces, and may even collide with each other. This can affect the stability and neatness of the tool, and may also cause noise or damage during display or use.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a novel and progressive tool storage device to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The main objective of this invention is to provide a tool storage device with a simple structure that prevents the tool holder from sliding within the groove.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a tool storage device, comprising: a base, which includes a rail groove extending in an extending direction, and two protrusions extending from opposite sides of the base toward each other, each of the protrusions including a plurality of protrusions and a plurality of recesses spaced apart, the plurality of protrusions and the plurality of recesses being alternately arranged along the extending direction.

Figure 3 is another exploded view of one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of the cover installation according to one embodiment of the present invention.

Figure 7 is a cross-sectional view of one embodiment of the present invention in use. Implementation

[0008] The following examples illustrate possible implementations of the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. The use of "a" or "at least one" before the terms mentioned herein is not a limitation on the quantity, and may also be "multiple" depending on the requirements. Such variations in quantity are also within the scope of protection, and are therefore stated in advance.

[0009] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7, which show one embodiment of the present invention. The tool storage device 1 of the present invention includes: a base 10.

[0010] The seat 10 includes a rail groove 20 extending in an extension direction E. Two protrusions 30 extend from opposite sides of the seat 10 toward each other. Each protrusion 30 includes a plurality of protrusions 31 and a plurality of recesses 32 spaced apart. The plurality of protrusions 31 and the plurality of recesses 32 are alternately arranged along the extension direction E. Specifically, an opening 15 is formed between the two protrusions 30, and the opening 15 communicates with the rail groove 20.

[0011] In this embodiment, the tool storage device 1 further includes a tool seat 50 that slides in the rail groove 20. The two stops 30 can stop the tool seat 50 in the transverse direction E. The tool seat 50 can be used to install a tool (such as a socket, screwdriver bit or other tool, not limited).

[0012] In this way, multiple interference and engagement areas are generated between adjacent protrusions 31 and recesses 32, forming an uneven plane. Any of the protrusions 31 can contact the tool seat 50 (as shown in Figure 7). The simple structure increases resistance and prevents the tool seat 50 from sliding, rotating, or loosening arbitrarily, resulting in a good positioning effect.

[0013] Specifically, the bottom 11 of one of the base bodies 10 faces the second part 30 in a first direction L1, which is transverse to the extension direction E. Each of the recesses 32 is open in the first direction L1 and in the direction facing each other, so the tool seat 50 can easily engage with one of the protrusions 31 through any of the recesses 32.

[0014] To further explain, the base 10 is injection molded from plastic. The plurality of recesses 32 allow the base 10 to be released from the mold in the first direction L1 (the thickness direction of the base 10). Demolding can be completed with a shorter mold opening distance, reducing the need for production space and improving the overall production line configuration flexibility.

[0015] The seat 10 includes a bottom 11 and two side portions 13. The two side portions 13 are laterally disposed on opposite sides of the bottom 11. Each side portion 13 is provided with a stop portion 30, and the stop portion 30 is spaced apart from the bottom 11. In this embodiment, the bottom 11, the two side portions 13, and the two stop portions 30 are integrally molded from plastic material, which is easy to process and form, allowing for diverse designs and easy manufacturing. In addition, the seat 10 is an insulator, and each protrusion 31 can move elastically relative to the rail groove 20, so that each protrusion 31 can elastically abut against the tool seat 50. The bottom 11 of the seat 10 is provided with at least one (or a plurality of) through holes 12, and the at least one (or a plurality of) through holes 12 corresponds to at least one (or a plurality of) protrusions 31. Specifically, at least one (or a plurality of) through holes 12 are disposed adjacent to one of the side portions 13 to reduce the contact area between the bottom 11 and each of the side portions 13, thereby increasing the swing range of each side portion 13 relative to the bottom 11. Furthermore, the plurality of through holes 12 are spaced apart from each other, increasing the structural strength of the base 10. Moreover, the plurality of through holes 12 allow a demolding mechanism to pass through or other mold mechanisms to pass through, facilitating the demolding and manufacturing of the base 10.

[0016] The seat 10 is an elongated seat extending along the extension direction E. The seat 10 is also provided with a port 14, which is open along the extension direction E. A cover 40 covers the port 14. One of the insertion parts 41 of the cover 40 is inserted into the rail groove 20 and is located between at least two protrusions 31 and the bottom 11 of the seat 10. In this embodiment, the insertion part 41 has two spaced-apart locking protrusions. The two locking protrusions are respectively locked into the rail groove 20 and are blocked by at least one of the protrusions 31 of one of the stops 30 in the first direction L1 to prevent them from falling out. Therefore, the port 14 is closed with a simple structure. Furthermore, one of the cover 40 and the bottom 11 is provided with a buckle hole 16 and the other is provided with a buckle part 42. The buckle part 42 can be detachably engaged with the buckle hole 16. In this embodiment, the cover 40 is provided with the buckle part 42 and the bottom 11 is provided with the buckle hole 16, so that the cover 40 can be fastened to the base 10. The cover 40 has a hanging hole for hanging.
