Description

Tool rack

Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to a tool holder. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a tool holder for holding one or more tools.

Background

The tool holder is used to support and store the tool when not in use. In addition, tool racks may be used to display tools during promotional activities, such as in stores. Many different types of tool holders for supporting, storing or displaying tools are known. Some known tool racks allow storage and support of tools by suspending the tools in a vertical direction. However, hanging tools have a tendency to rotate due to the load of the implement attached to these tools. Furthermore, the support portion from which the tool is suspended may bend due to lateral loading of the tool. This may lead to accidental removal of the tool. Furthermore, this may interfere with the space occupied by other tools stored in or with the tool rack.

European patent publication EP 2 861 386 B1 describes a holding device and its combination with an associated support device. The holding means is in the form of a hook having an attachment part cooperating with the support means and a carrier part capable of supporting the articles to be stored. The attachment part and the carrier part are interconnected by a shank part intended to extend parallel to the attachment surface of the support device. The support device has parallel rows of slots so that for mounting purposes an attachment member in the form of an attachment hook of the holding device is inserted into one of these slots and is thus held in its attachment slot. The retaining means extends downwardly to overlap with an exposed portion disposed on an adjacent slot (which is itself also part of a row of slots). The shank component has a fin extending from the shank component in a direction facing the support means and into this adjacent slot. When inserted into this slot, the fin forms a spacer means relative to its adjacent wall of the slot; thereby minimizing the free space between these walls and the spacer means. Thereby, the carrier member is prevented from swinging sideways. That is, in case an undesired external force acts laterally on the holding device, a plane parallel to the attachment surface of the support device pivots about the attachment part. In order to prevent any twisting of the suspension device due to the weight of the articles stored therewith, the handle member is made to rest on the front surface of the support device to support it against the weight of the articles acting perpendicular to the attachment surface of the support device.

Accordingly, there is a need for an improved tool rack that allows for simple, convenient and safe storage of at least one tool. Further, the tool rack may allow for unobstructed storage of various tools stored in or with the tool rack.

SUMMERY OF THE UTILITY MODEL

In view of the above, it is an object of the present invention to solve or at least reduce the above disadvantages. This object is at least partly achieved by a tool holder. The tool holder includes a tool holder body defining a front surface and a rear surface. The front surface defines at least one tool holder cavity extending from the front surface toward the rear surface. The rear surface defines a plane parallel to and coincident with the rear surface. The plug member is adapted to couple with at least one tool holder cavity. The plug element comprises a coupling element and a connecting element coupled to the coupling element. The coupling element is adapted to be received within the at least one tool holder cavity, and the connecting element is adapted to allow at least one appliance to be connected to the plug element. The plug member further includes a spacer member coupled to the connecting member. The spacer element extends away from the connecting element. Furthermore, the spacer element extends between the connection element and a plane defined by the rear surface such that the spacer element prevents the plug element from bending or deforming. The spacer element prevents bending or deformation due to the weight of the at least one tool or the at least one tool accessory being hung or stored.

Thus, the present disclosure provides a simple, convenient and user-friendly tool rack that stores or suspends a variety of different tools or tool accessories without interfering with one another. Tool holders use metal rods and plug elements that also include connecting elements to store or suspend tools or tool accessories. The plug element is provided with a spacer element to improve the stability of the plug element or the connection element against any kind of bending, twisting or rotation due to the weight or load of the stored or suspended tool or tool fitting.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the connecting element is a hook. However, in some embodiments, the connecting element is a basket. The connecting element may be such that it may be able to hang or store at least one tool or at least one tool accessory.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the tool holder comprises a plurality of holes for wall mounting of the tool holder. A plurality of holes are drilled in the tool holder for wall mounting of the tool holder. The plurality of holes may additionally be provided with wall mounting options including one or more of screws, nuts, and rivets.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the spacer element is telescopic. The spacer element bridges the gap between the connecting element and the plane defined by the rear surface (or the wall surface to which the tool holder is mounted) and provides stability to the plug element and in particular to the connecting element.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the cushion element is hingedly coupled to the connection element. The spacer element may be hingedly coupled to the connecting element so that the spacer element may be rotated to the correct orientation or position as required, and may then be locked in that correct orientation or position.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the spacer element prevents the connecting element from bending or deforming.

Other features and aspects of the present invention will become apparent from the following description and the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 1 shows a tool holder 100. The tool holder 100 is used to hold, support or display at least one tool 200 or at least one tool accessory 210. The at least one tool 200 of the present disclosure is at least one garden tool 200, and the at least one tool accessory 210 is at least one handle 212 and at least one implement 214 of the at least one garden tool 200. At least one implement 214 may be removably coupled to at least one handle 210 to form at least one tool 200. However, in practical embodiments of the present disclosure, the tool rack 100 may store any other tools for applications other than gardening, without limiting the scope of the present disclosure in any way.

The tool holder 100 facilitates proper organization and storage of at least one tool 200 or at least one tool accessory 210 when not in use. The proper organization or arrangement of the at least one tool 200 or the at least one tool accessory 210 on the tool holder 100 allows for easy access to the at least one tool 200 or the at least one tool accessory 210 when use is desired. Further, the tool rack 100 may be used in a tool shop or store for displaying at least one tool 200 or at least one tool accessory 210 available for purchase, as appropriate.

The tool holder 100 may be manufactured using one or more of thermoplastic materials, wood, or metal. However, without limiting the scope of the present disclosure, the tool holder 100 may be manufactured using any other material as used or known in the art.

With continuing reference to fig. 1 and with further reference to fig. 2, the tool holder 100 includes a tool holder body 110. The tool holder body 110 includes a front surface 120, a rear surface 130, a pair of side surfaces 140, a top surface 150, and a bottom surface 160. The top surface 150 and the bottom surface 160 define a length of the tool holder 100 along the longitudinal axis W-W'. The top surface 150 and the bottom surface 160 define the length of the tool holder 100 along the plane X-X' defined by the rear surface 130. Plane X-X' is parallel to rear surface 130. Furthermore, the plane X-X' coincides with the rear surface 130. The pair of side surfaces 130 define a width of the tool holder 100 along a lateral axis Y-Y' of the tool holder 100. The longitudinal axis W-W 'is perpendicular to the lateral axis Y-Y'. Furthermore, the length of the tool holder 100 is preferably at least three times the width (along the lateral axis Y-Y') of the tool holder 100. However, any other suitable relationship between the length and width of the tool holder 100 may be used without limiting the scope of the present disclosure in any way.

The front surface 120 includes a plurality of holes 122 for wall-mounting of the tool holder 100 along a wall surface. The plane X-X' defined by the rear surface 130 may be a wall surface. Further, a plurality of holes 122 are drilled in the tool holder 100 by any means known in the related art for wall mounting of the tool holder 100. The plurality of holes 122 may additionally be provided with wall mounting options including one or more of screws, nuts, and rivets.

In some embodiments, wall mounting options including one or more of screws, nuts, and rivets may be received integrally with the tool holder 100 at the time of purchase. This integrated wall mounting option allows the tool holder 100 to be easily mounted on different mounting locations (e.g., walls, posts, uprights, etc.) in a horizontal, vertical, or any other desired orientation.

When the tool holder 100 is installed, the rear surface 130 of the tool holder 100 faces the installation site. In some embodiments, the tool holder 100 may be suspended at different mounting locations using a plurality of brackets (not shown) disposed on the rear surface 130 of the tool holder 100. In some embodiments, the tool holder 100 may be permanently welded to the mounting site. In some embodiments, the tool holder 100 may be mounted on the mounting site using a plurality of straps attached to the rear surface 130 of the tool holder 100, such that the plurality of straps may be wrapped around a circular mounting site (such as a post).

The pair of side surfaces 140 includes a plurality of cavities 142 (shown in fig. 2) along the lateral axis Y-Y'. The plurality of cavities 142 are adapted to hold a plurality of metal rods 144 (as shown in fig. 1), i.e., one cavity 142 for one metal rod 144. The plurality of cavities 142 of the present disclosure are formed as four cavities 142 arranged in a row, e.g., two cavities 142 in a first row and the remaining two cavities 142 in a second row. The shape and size of the two cavities 142 in the first row is different from the shape and size of the two cavities 142 in the second row. This type of arrangement allows for different sizes of metal rods 144 to be used. This type of arrangement also allows the use of metal rods 144 at different depths along the longitudinal axis W-W'. As discussed above, the same type of cavity arrangement may be implemented on the other side surface 140 of the tool holder 100. However, any other arrangement of the plurality of cavities 142 is within the scope of the present disclosure.

In some embodiments, the plurality of cavities 142 may be through cavities such that a plurality of metal rods 144 inserted from one of the side surfaces 140 may pass through the width of the tool holder 100 along the lateral axis Y-Y'. In the case of multiple through cavities 142, portions of multiple metal rods 144 extend away from each of the two side surfaces or pair of side surfaces 140.

Further, the plurality of metal rods 144 retained in the plurality of cavities 142 are designed to retain or support at least one handle 212 of at least one tool 200. The at least one handle 212 may be made of wood, aluminum, or other materials without limiting the scope of the present disclosure. At least one handle 212 may be a conventional handle or a telescoping handle. Further, the at least one handle 212 may include a grip for suitably holding the at least one handle 212 of the at least one tool 200. Depending on ergonomic requirements, the handle may be disposed at more than one location along the length of the at least one handle 212. The handle may preferably be made of silicone. However, any other suitable material may be used to make the handle.

Each of the at least one handle 212 requires two metal rods 144 of the plurality of metal rods 144 for proper support in the storage position of the at least one handle 212. The two metal rods 144 required to support one handle 212 may not necessarily be inserted or held in multiple cavities 142 arranged in the same row. However, preferably, two metal rods 144 required to support one handle 212 may be inserted into the plurality of cavities 142 arranged in the same row.

The at least one handle 212 includes at least one locking member 216 (shown in fig. 1) such that the at least one locking member 216 is removably suspended or supported on one of the two metal rods 144 required to support the at least one handle 212. Further, the other one of the two metal rods 144, which is not engaged with the at least one locking member 216, may prevent the accidental removal of the at least one handle 212 by acting as a counter for the rotational torque of the at least one handle 212. Thus, the at least one handle 212 extends along the longitudinal axis W-W' in a stable manner below the plurality of cavities 142.

In some embodiments, the plurality of cavities 142 are formed proximate the top surface 150 of the tool holder 100. The plurality of cavities 142 proximal to the top surface 150 of the tool holder 100 ensures that the tool holder 100 has a sufficient vertical extent along the longitudinal axis W-W' below the plurality of cavities 142. This may serve as a reaction force against the gravitational force acting on the at least one tool 200 (or the at least one handle 212) suspended from the tool holder 100. Accordingly, the plurality of cavities 142 may be formed at any length along the longitudinal axis W-W 'of the tool holder 100 such that a portion of the at least one tool 200 (or the at least one handle 212) extends along the longitudinal axis W-W' and receives support from the side surface 140 of the tool holder body 110 of the tool holder 100.

In some embodiments, at least a portion of the at least one tool 200 below the plurality of cavities 142 responsible for its support is about 2cm, or any other suitable value depending on factors such as the size, weight, profile, type, etc. of the at least one tool 200 or tool holder 100. Thus, the portion of the at least one tool 200 extending along the longitudinal axis W-W' is supported from the tool holder body 110 (particularly the side surface 140 of the tool holder 100). This eliminates the general tendency for the at least one tool 200 (or the at least one handle 212) to hang obliquely and thus allows the at least one tool 200 (or the at least one handle 212) to be supported and properly hung substantially vertically on the tool rack 100.

With continued reference to fig. 1 and 2, the front surface 120 of the tool holder body 110 of the tool holder 100 is adapted to receive at least one tool 200 (or at least one implement 214). The at least one implement 214 may be one or more of a shovel, a rake, a plow, a spade, a hoe, a weed extractor, a broom, a brush, an ice shaver, a trowel, a sprayer, and the like.

The front surface 120 of the tool holder body 110 defines at least one tool holder cavity 124. At least one tool holder cavity 124 is defined along the length of the tool holder 100. At least one tool holder cavity 124 is defined along a longitudinal axis W-W'. In addition, an axis Z-Z ' (shown in FIG. 2) perpendicular to the longitudinal and lateral axes W-W ' and Y-Y ' passes through the at least one tool holder cavity 124. At least one tool holder cavity 124 extends from the front surface 120 toward the rear surface 130 of the tool holder body 110.

The at least one tool holder cavity 124 may preferably have a depth equal to the depth of the tool holder 100 along the Z-Z' axis. In some embodiments, at least one tool holder cavity 124 may taper along its depth. In some embodiments, the at least one tool holder cavity 124 may preferably have a circular shape. However, without limiting the scope of the present disclosure, the at least one tool holder cavity 124 may have any other shape.

In some embodiments, the material of the at least one tool holder cavity 124 is similar to the material of the tool holder body 110. In some embodiments, the material of at least one tool holder cavity 124 is different from the tool holder body 110.

In some embodiments, the at least one tool holder cavity 124 is integrally formed with the tool holder body 110 by any suitable manufacturing means known in the relevant art. In some embodiments, the at least one tool holder cavity 124 is formed as a separate element to be attached to the tool holder body 110 after the respective fabrication of the tool holder body 110 and the at least one tool holder cavity 124 by any suitable means known in the related art.

In addition, at least one tool holder cavity 124 includes a set of ribs 126. The set of ribs 126 includes a plurality of annular ribs in the at least one tool holder cavity 124. The set of ribs 126 may extend at least partially along the depth of the at least one tool holder cavity 124. The ribs of the set of ribs 126 may have any suitable shape without limiting the scope of the present disclosure in any way. The set of ribs 126 of the at least one tool holder cavity 124 is operatively coupled to the plug member 300 (shown in fig. 1 and 3).

The plug member 300 (shown in fig. 1) is adapted to couple with at least one tool holder cavity 124. As shown in detail in fig. 3, plug member 300 includes a coupling member 320 and a connecting member 310 coupled to coupling member 320. In some embodiments, the coupling between connecting element 310 and coupling element 320 is a removable coupling. In some embodiments, the coupling between connecting element 310 and coupling element 320 is a permanent coupling. Any known suitable coupling method may be used for removable or permanent coupling of connecting element 310 to coupling element 320 without limiting the scope of the present disclosure.

The coupling element 320 is adapted to be received within at least one tool holder cavity 124. Coupling member 320 includes a set of ribs 322. The set of ribs 322 includes a plurality of annular ribs on the perimeter or circumference of the coupling element 320. The set of ribs 322 extend partially along the length of coupling member 320. The set of ribs 322 may have a similar or different shape than the first set of ribs 126. Coupling member 320 also includes a plurality of annular fingers 324 toward an end thereof. Some (or all) of the plurality of fingers 324 include a protrusion 326. The protrusion 326 may facilitate a removable but secure coupling between the at least one tool holder cavity 124 and the coupling element 320. The protrusion 326 may facilitate a friction or snap-fit coupling between the at least one tool holder cavity 124 and the coupling element 320. The protrusion 326 may slide along the depth of the at least one tool holder cavity 124 until the coupling element 320 is at least partially received within the at least one tool holder cavity 124 to form a secure coupling.

Further, when the coupling element 320 is received within the at least one tool holder cavity 124, the set of ribs 126 and the set of ribs 322 engage together to allow the plug element 300 to be removably coupled with the at least one tool holder cavity 124.

With continued reference to fig. 3, a connection element 310 (as described above) is adapted to allow the at least one appliance 214 to be connected to the plug element 300. In some embodiments, the connecting element 310 is a hook (as shown in fig. 1 and 3). The hook may be used to hang at least one tool 200 or at least one tool accessory 210 on the tool holder 100. The at least one tool 200 or the at least one tool accessory 210 may comprise an annular surface for insertion in the hook. In some embodiments, the connecting element 310 may be a basket. The basket may be used to store at least one tool 200 or at least one tool accessory 210. However, in practical embodiments of the present disclosure, the connection element 310 may be any component that may assist in hanging, supporting, displaying, or storing the at least one tool 200 or the at least one tool accessory 210.

In some embodiments, the connecting element 310 may be such that it may be capable of receiving different types of commonly known and available implements 214, thereby increasing the versatility of the tool holder 100. In some embodiments, connecting element 310 may be a hollow cylindrical body (not shown) provided with coupling element 320 such that the hollow cylindrical body may be tilted in a substantially upward direction away from the ground. The hollow cylindrical body may be used to support or store at least one tool 200 or at least one tool accessory 210. However, in a practical embodiment, the connecting element 310 may be a hollow body of any other shape provided with a coupling element 320. For example, the at least one tool holder cavity 124 may be three tool holder cavities 124. One of the three tool cavities 124 proximal to the bottom surface 160 may receive a plug member 300 having a connecting member 310 as a hook or basket coupled with a coupling member 320. One of the two remaining cavities of the three tool cavities 124 may receive a plug member 300 having a connecting member 310 as a hollow cylindrical body coupled with a coupling member 320, while the other cavity may receive a plug member 300 having a connecting member 310 as a hollow spherical body coupled with a coupling member 320.

Further, plug member 300 includes a spacer member 330 (shown in FIG. 3) coupled to connecting member 310. The spacer element 330 extends away from the connecting element 310. The spacer element 330 extends at least partially between the connecting element 310 and a plane X-X' defined by the rear surface 130 of the tool holder body 110. The spacer element 330 bridges the gap between the connection element 310 and the rear surface 130. When the coupling element 320 is inserted in the at least one tool holder cavity 124, the spacer element bridges the gap between the connecting element 310 and the plane X-X'.

The spacer element 330 may provide support and stability to the plug element 300 (and in particular to the connecting element 310) when the at least one tool 200 or the at least one tool accessory 210 is suspended (in the case of a hook) or stored (in the case of a basket) with the connecting element 310. The spacer element 330 may prevent the plug element 300 (and in particular the connecting element 310) from bending or deforming due to the weight of the at least one tool 200 or the at least one tool fitting 210, which is suspended or stored.

Furthermore, as shown in fig. 1, if the handle 212 is suspended in the side surface 140, it may utilize a free space created by means of the cushion element 330 and may be freely stored or suspended without any hindrance by the connecting element 310 or the at least one tool 200, or the at least one tool accessory 210 suspended or stored together with the tool holder 100 by using the connecting element 310. The operator may remove the stored handle 212 from the tool holder 100 without disturbing the connecting element or the stored or suspended tool or tool accessory.

In some embodiments, the spacer element 330 may be permanently integrated or coupled with the connecting element 310. In some embodiments, the spacer element 330 may be removably attached with the connection element 310. In some embodiments, the material used to make the spacer elements 330 may be the same as the material used to make the connecting elements 310. In some embodiments, the material used to make the spacer elements 330 may be different from the material used to make the connecting elements 310. In some embodiments, the user of the material used to make the spacer element 330 is a hard and rigid material such that it may provide stability to the plug element 300 (and particularly to the connecting element 310) and may not deform itself due to the weight of the at least one tool 200 or the at least one tool accessory 210 being hung or stored.

In some embodiments, the spacer element 330 may be telescopic to conveniently bridge a variable gap that may exist between the connecting element 310 and the plane X-X'.

In some embodiments, more than one spacer element 330 may be permanently or removably coupled with the connecting element 310 to further enhance the stability of the plug element 300 or the connecting element 310.

In some embodiments, the spacer element 330 may be slidable along the surface of the connecting element 310 to manipulate the spacer element 330 into the correct position on the connecting element 310 as desired. In some embodiments, the spacer element 330 may be hingedly coupled to the connection element 310 such that the spacer element 330 may be rotated to the correct orientation or position as desired, and may then be locked in the correct orientation or position.

In some embodiments, the ends of the cushion element 330 may be provided with a rubber-like or foam-like material, such that the cushion element 330 may not be able to adjust the wall surface to which the tool holder 100 may be mounted.

Thus, the present disclosure provides a safe, simple, convenient, and user-friendly tool rack 100 that stores or suspends a variety of different tools 200 or tool accessories 210 without any mutual hindrance. The tool holder 100 uses the metal rod 144 and the plug member 300 further comprising a connecting member 310 to store or suspend the tool 200 or the tool accessory 210. The plug member 300 is provided with a spacer member 330 to improve the stability of the plug member 300 or the connection member 310 against any kind of bending, twisting or rotation due to the weight or load of the stored or suspended tool 200 or tool fitting 210.

In the drawings and specification, there have been disclosed preferred embodiments and examples of the invention and, although specific terms are employed, they are used in a generic and descriptive sense only and not for purposes of limitation, the scope of the invention being set forth in the following claims.
