Tool Holder With Collapsible Handle And Pivoting Back Cover
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional tool holders occupy excessive space due to their fixed handle design, making them inconvenient to carry and store.
Innovation Solution
A tool holder design featuring a main body with a recessive receiving space for the handle, allowing it to be closed and stored within, along with a pivoting back cover and movable supporting portion for versatile positioning, enabling compact storage and easy carrying.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the handle stands straightly on the main body, then the tool holder is convenient to be carried, but the tool holder occupies excessive space when stored
Solution Approach 1:
The handle is designed to be movable relative to the main body, transitioning between an extended position for carrying and a retracted position for storage. The receiving space allows the handle to be folded inward, dynamically changing the overall volume of the tool holder to adapt to different usage scenarios.
Solution Approach 2:
The handle is arranged within the receiving space of the main body when not in use, similar to a nested doll structure. This nesting arrangement allows the handle to be stored inside the main body's cavity, significantly reducing the space occupied by the tool holder during storage.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the back cover is fixed, then the structure is simple, but the tool holder lacks versatility in positioning
Solution Approach 1:
The back cover is designed to pivot relative to the main body, enabling it to move between a closed position for compact storage and an extended position for stable placement. This dynamic mechanism allows the tool holder to adapt to different positioning requirements without significantly complicating the overall structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The pivoting back cover serves multiple functions: it protects the opening of the main body when closed, provides a stable base when extended, and enables the tool holder to be placed in various orientations. This multi-functionality increases the versatility of the tool holder while maintaining relatively simple structural components.

AI summary
A tool holder is provided, including a main body, a back cover and a handle. The main body has two side faces opposite to each other. An end of the main body is a first end, and the second end of the main body is a second end. The first end is formed with a hanging portion. The back cover is pivoted to the second end, and the back cover is closable or expendable relative to the main body to make an inner surface thereof selectively cover or uncover one side face of the main body. The handle is disposed on the hanging portion, and one said side face of the main body is recessively formed with a receiving space. The handle is selectively expendable or closable to be arranged in the receiving space.
