Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The adjustable tool placement space tray of the present invention is mainly applied to the technology of installing one or more horizontal or vertical placement racks on the two long or two short sides of the tray according to the size and specifications of the tools, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the tool placement space. [Previous Technology]

[0002] Note that conventional tool placement devices are mainly used to place and position tools of various sizes and specifications, such as socket sets, screwdriver bit sets, etc. Conventional tool placement devices usually divide tools into several units according to specifications or types, and then arrange the tools of different units on different shelves. These shelves are then assembled together on the same base structure. This type of design is mainly based on the consideration that if the user only needs to use one unit of the tool in actual use, he / she only needs to pick up that shelf, without having to move the entire base, which is more labor-saving and convenient to use.

[0003] However, traditional tool storage devices generally only allow for the installation of shelves in a single direction on the base structure, such as horizontal or vertical shelves. They cannot be configured to accommodate shelves in a horizontal or vertical arrangement based on the length, size, and specifications of the tools. This makes them unsuitable for storing and using tools of different lengths, sizes, or specifications simultaneously, which is an existing problem and shortcoming that needs to be overcome. [Summary of the Invention]

[0004] The inventor is currently engaged in the manufacturing and design of related products. With many years of practical experience and insights, he has actively invested in innovation and improvement to address the existing problems and shortcomings of traditional tool placement devices, and has completed an adjustable tool placement space tray.

[0005] The technical means applied to solve the problem in the invention and the effect compared with the prior art are as follows: a plurality of insertion slots and a plurality of elastic locking arms are respectively provided on the side walls of the two long sides and the two short sides of the tray in a corresponding configuration. The elastic locking arms are provided with locking parts. A plurality of positioning parts are provided between the plurality of insertion slots and the plurality of elastic locking arms. The horizontal placement rack and the vertical placement rack are provided with an insertion part and a positioning step corresponding to the insertion slot and the elastic locking arm. The insertion part is first inserted into the insertion slot, and then the locking part of the elastic locking arm is snapped and fixed on the positioning step. This allows the user to select one or more of the horizontal placement rack or the vertical placement rack to be installed on the two long sides or the two short sides of the tray according to the size and specifications of the tool. This has an improvement in effectiveness and is the main objective achieved.

[0006] The aforementioned adjustable tool placement space tray, wherein: a handle is pivotally mounted at the center of the upper part of the tray.

[0007] The above-mentioned adjustable tool placement space tray includes: a plurality of horizontally arranged fixing holes and a plurality of vertically arranged fixing holes at the middle of the bottom surface of the tray; the horizontal and vertical placement racks are provided with fish-eye holes corresponding to the fixing holes for the insertion of the inserting element; two avoidance holes extend outward from one oblique side of the fixing hole; two positioning holes are provided on the other oblique side of the fixing hole for positioning the positioning element; a T-shaped inserting rod is provided on the positioning element corresponding to the two avoidance holes for alignment with the two avoidance holes; two positioning flanges are provided on both sides of the inserting rod corresponding to the two positioning holes; and a rotating groove is provided on the surface of the positioning element for rotating the positioning element so that the two positioning flanges are positioned in the two positioning holes.
