Storage Device For Tools, Especially Screwdriver Bits

A storage device for tools, especially screwdriver bits or the like, comprising a basic housing piece that is provided with a swiveling-in space for a pivotable part which is hinged to the basic housing piece so as to be pivotable from a storage position, in which the pivotable part is inserted in the swiveling-in space, into a removal position, in which the pivotable part is swiveled out of the swiveling-in space about a swiveling axis,

• wherein the pivotable part in a first row encompasses retaining openings for tool retaining sections, such that said retaining openings extend into a tool accommodating compartment in the storage position, said tool accommodating compartment adjoining the swiveling-in space
• and at least one additional row of retaining openings is provided that run parallel to the first row and where the retaining openings of the at least one additional row are associated with a pivotable strip which is contiguous with the pivotable part in the storage position and in the removal position assumes a pivotable distance position from the pivotable part,
• characterized in that the retaining openings of the first row and the at least one additional row have an outer wall of basically hexagonal-cross-section and are offset relative to one another by gaps, the outer wall of the basically hexagonal-cross-section retaining openings of the pivotable part that face the pivotable strip and the outer wall of the basically hexagonal-cross-section retaining openings of the pivotable strip both extend in a zigzag manner, and the zigzag protrusions of the one outer wall engage with the zigzag recesses of the other outer wall.
