Abstract
The invention relates to a case for holding elongate objects, in particular, drills or other tools, comprising a housing shell and a lid hinged pivotably thereto via a hinge and at least two pivotable holding parts which while the case is closed are pivoted inward into the interior, while they are pivoted outward out of the said interior when the lid is being opened, wherein only the holding part close to the lid is mounted in a pivoting axis in the housing shell of the case, while the at least one additional holding part disposed in front of the holding part closest to the lid is detachably connected to the respective closest holding part. The advantage lies in the fact that the case can be modularly expanded, that the manipulation is improved, and that the manufacturing cost is reduced.
Claims40
A case for holding elongate objects, said case comprising:
- a housing shell;
- a lid that is pivotally connected to said housing shell by a hinge, and;
- at least three pivotable holding parts that are swiveled inward into the interior of the case at times when the case is closed and that are swiveled outward from the interior of the case at times when the lid is being opened, wherein;
- a first holding part that is closest to the lid includes a nub and an axis stub, said first holding part being mounted to the housing shell on said axis stub and wherein;
- at least a second holding part is disposed on the side of the first holding part that is away from said lid, said second holding part having an axis stub and a nub disposed thereon, said second holding part also having a snap-on device that engages the axis stub of the first holding part to detachably connect the second holding part to said first holding part, said second holding part also having a tongue with an elongated hole that slidingly engages the nub of the first holding part and wherein;
- at least a third holding part is disposed on the side of the second holding part that is away from said first holding part, said third holding part also having a snap-on device that engages the axis stub of the second holding part to detachably connect the third holding part to said second holding part, said third holding part also having a tongue with an elongated hole that slidingly engages the nub of the second holding part.
A case according to claim wherein the carrier plate is pivotably linked to the upper end of the first holding part.
A case according to claim wherein the carrier plate is constructed of synthetic material and is connected to the first holding part as single material by a film hinge.
A case for holding elongate objects, said case comprising:
- a housing shell;
- a lid that is pivotally connected to said housing shell by a hinge, and;
- at least two pivotable holding parts that are swiveled inward into the interior of the case at times when the case is closed and that are swiveled outward from the interior of the case at times when the lid is being opened, wherein;
- a first holding part that is closest to the lid includes a nub and a first axis stub and a second axis stub, said first holding part being mounted to the housing shell on said axis stubs and wherein;
- at least a second holding part is disposed on the side of the first holding part that is away from said lid, said second holding part having an axis stub and a nub disposed thereon, said second holding part also having a snap-on device that engages the second axis stub of the first holding part to detachably connect the second holding part to said first holding part, said second holding part also having a tongue with an elongated hole that slidingly engages the nub of the first holding part.
A case for holding elongate objects, said case comprising:
- a housing shell;
- a lid that is pivotally connected to said housing shell by a hinge, and;
- at least two pivotable holding parts that are swiveled inward into the interior of the case at times when the case is closed and that are swiveled outward from the interior of the case at times when the lid is being opened, wherein;
- a first holding part that is closest to the lid includes a nub and a first axis stub and a second axis stub, said first holding part being mounted to the housing shell on said axis stubs and wherein;
- at least a second holding part is disposed on the side of the first holding part that is away from said lid, said second holding part having an axis stub and a nub disposed thereon, said second holding part also having a snap-on device that engages the second axis stub of the first holding part to detachably connect the second holding part to said first holding part, said second holding part also having a tongue with an elongated hole that slidingly engages the nub of the first holding part.
A case for holding elongate objects, said case comprising:
- a housing shell;
- a lid that is pivotally connected to said housing shell by a hinge, and;
- two pivotable holding parts that are swiveled inward into the interior of the case at times when the case is closed and that are swiveled outward from the interior of the case at times when the lid is being opened, wherein;
- a first holding part that is closest to the lid includes a nub and a first axis stub and a second axis stub, said first holding part being mounted to the housing shell on said axis stubs and wherein;
- a second holding part is disposed on the side of the first holding part that is away from said lid, said second holding part having a snap-on device that engages the second axis stub of the first holding part to detachably connect the second holding part to said first holding part, said second holding part also having a tongue with an elongated hole that slidingly engages the nub of the first holding part.
