Abstract
The invention relates to an implement holder, in particular for a pocket knife, or a flat-design storage case having a housing body with one or more housing compartments for at least one implement which can be moved out from a rest position into a position of use, e.g. a knife, corkscrew, screwdriver. A writing instrument is provided as an implement and the housing body projects beyond the implement forming the handle thereof in a ready-to-use position.
Claims20
A holder for implements, comprising:
- a housing body defining a plurality of housing compartments therein including at least a writing implement housing compartment and an additional housing compartment;
- a writing implement disposed in the writing implement housing compartment and an additional implement disposed in the additional housing compartment, the writing implement being movable in an axial direction between a stowed position inside the housing body and an extended position partially protruding out from the housing body such that the housing body forms a gripping part therefor;
- and
- an operating element connected to the writing implement, the operating element having an elastically deformable portion that extends through a slot formed in the housing body and terminates in a gripping element outside the housing body, the slot extending parallel to the axial direction and having a locating recess comprising a widened portion of the slot at each opposite end of the slot, the deformable portion being arranged to be elastically biased into each of the locating recesses to fix the writing implement in the stowed and extended positions, whereby pressing the gripping element laterally disengages the deformable portion of the operating element from the locating recess so that the writing implement can be extended or stowed.
A holder for implements, comprising:
- a housing body defining a first writing implement housing compartment and a second writing implement housing compartment therein;
- a writing implement for storage in the first writing implement housing compartment;
- and
- wherein the second writing implement housing compartment extends into the housing body along a longitudinal direction and has a depth in the longitudinal direction such that when the writing implement is fully inserted into the second writing implement housing compartment in the longitudinal direction a portion of the writing implement protrudes out beyond a periphery of the housing compartment such that the housing body forms a gripping part therefor.
A holder for implements, comprising:
- a housing body defining a plurality of housing compartments therein including at least a writing implement housing compartment and an additional housing compartment, the housing body being formed by at least a bottom plate and a cover plate;
- a writing implement disposed in the writing implement housing compartment and an additional implement disposed in the additional housing compartment, the writing implement being movable between a stowed position inside the housing body and an extended position partially protruding out from the housing body such that the housing body forms a gripping part therefor;
- and
- wherein a portion of one of the bottom and cover plates comprises a door that is hingedly connected to the housing body so as to be pivotable relative thereto.
A holder for implements, comprising:
- a housing body defining at least a writing implement housing compartment therein;
- a writing implement disposed in the writing implement housing compartment, the writing implement being movable between a stowed position inside the housing body and an extended position in which a tip of the writing implement is protruding out from the housing body;
- and
- a lighting device arranged in the housing body, the lighting device being arranged relative to the writing implement such that when the writing implement is in the extended position the tip of the writing implement is in at least a peripheral region of a light beam emitted by the lighting device.
A pocket tool comprising:
- a housing body comprising at least a bottom plate and a cover plate opposing each other;
- a tool arranged in a tool housing compartment defined in the housing body, the tool being pivotably mounted in the housing body and having a biasing device for urging the tool toward one of an extended and a retracted position;
- a writing implement disposed in a writing implement housing compartment defined in the housing body, the writing implement being movable in an axial direction between a stowed position inside the housing body and an extended position partially protruding out from the housing body such that the housing body forms a gripping part therefor;
- and
- an operating element connected to the writing implement, the operating element having an elastically deformable portion that extends through a slot formed in the housing body and terminates in a gripping element outside the housing body, the slot extending parallel to the axial direction and having a locating recess comprising a widened portion of the slot at each opposite end of the slot, the deformable portion being arranged to be elastically biased into each of the locating recesses to fix the writing implement in the stowed and extended positions.
