Abstract
A sliding type tool storage structure comprises an open-close switching unit clamped between a first storing element and a second storing element that can slide relative to each other. When the first storing element slides relative to the second storing element to change their relative position, the stopping portions of the open-close switching unit will open or close the tool storing grooves of the respective storing elements. Being a simple structure, the sliding type tool storage structure is easy to carry. Furthermore, since the tool storage structure can be operated simply by sliding of two elements, it is very convenient to use.
Claims11
A sliding type tool storage structure being adapted for storing tool heads, comprising:
- a first storing element including an outer surface, an inner surface, a first side and a second side opposite the first side, the first side and the second side being connected between the outer surface and the inner surface, the first storing element being formed with plural spaced tool storing grooves in the outer surface thereof, the first storing element being further formed in the inner surface thereof with a first control groove, the first control groove being formed with plural through-hole-shaped displacement spaces which are located adjacent to the respective tool storing grooves, respectively, the first storing element being further provided with a slidable positioning element on the inner surface thereof;
- an open-close switching unit including plural first stopping portions on a first surface thereof and plural second stopping portions on a second surface opposite the first surface thereof, the first stopping portions and the second stopping portions extending in opposite directions, each of the first and the second stopping portions including a stopping end, the respective first stopping portions being inserted into the displacement spaces of the first control groove;
- and
- a second storing element including an outer surface, an inner surface, a first side and a second side opposite the first side thereof, the second storing element being formed with plural tool storing grooves in the outer surface thereof and formed with a slide corresponding element on the inner surface thereof, the slidable positioning element of the first storing element being slidably assembled to the slide corresponding element of the second storing element, the open-close switching unit being clamped between the first storing element and the second storing element, the first side and the second side of the first storing element being arranged opposite the first side and the second side of the second storing element, respectively, the second storing element being formed in the inner surface thereof with a second control groove, the second control groove being formed with plural through-hole-shaped displacement spaces which are located adjacent to the respective tool storing grooves of the second storing element, the respective second stopping portions of the open-close switching unit being inserted into the respective displacement spaces of the second control groove, between a first side of the open-close switching unit and a second groove surface of the first control groove adjacent to the second side of the first storing element being defined a first control clearance, between a second side of the open-close switching unit and a first groove surface of the first control groove adjacent to the first side of the second storing element being defined a second control clearance, the first storing element being allowed to slide in a direction of the first side thereof through the first control clearance, the second storing element being allowed to slide in a direction of the second side thereof through the second control clearance, the siding of the first storing element and the second storing element changing a relative position of the respective tool storing grooves with respect to the respective stopping ends so as to open/close the respective tool storing grooves.
