Description

The The invention relates to a closure cap for a hollow tool handle, whose cavity is the Storage of parts is used.

It are a variety of such caps generally well known e.g. with screw, bayonet, plug or snap (catch) closure.

It Object of the invention, a novel cap with Provide snap (catch) closure.

This The object is achieved by the in the characterizing part of claim 1 specified characteristics solved.

advantageous Further developments of the invention are characterized in the subclaims.

One embodiment The invention is illustrated in the drawings and will be described in more detail below.

It demonstrate:

1 a perspective view of the tool handle with the cap according to the invention in the closed state;

2 a perspective view of the tool handle in the open state and the closure cap according to the invention.

3 a partial perspective view of the tool handle in the open state and a perspective view of the cap according to the invention from a different direction than in 2 ;

4 a perspective view of the cap according to the invention with a view of the inside of its bottom.

In The representations of the figures, the same parts carry the same Reference numerals.

The hollow tool handle (without cap) is with 2 , the cap with 3 designated; the closed with the cap tool handle with 1 ,

The hollow tool handle 2 serves as a container for the storage of parts. His opening 17 is through the cap 3 closable.

cap 3 and tool handle 2 are connectable by a detachable snap (catch) closure.

• a) mit zwei sich gegenüberliegenden zungenförmigen Fortsätzen 5 und 6 mit jeweils einer Öffnung 13 und 14 und
• b) mit zwei sich gegenüberliegenden Führungs-Elementen 7 und 8.

The round cap 3 (It may also have a different shape in adaptation to a correspondingly different profile of the tool handle) has a Rappenrand pulled down from its bottom B 4

• a) with two opposing tongue-shaped projections 5 and 6 each with an opening 13 and 14 and
• b) with two opposing guide elements 7 and 8th ,

The tongue-shaped extensions 5 and 6 protrude in the closed state of Wekzeughandgriffes - when its opening 17 with the cap 3 is closed - fit into the tongue-like recesses 15 and 16 the tool handle wall.

Inside the tool handle 1 are two spring arms 9 and 11 arranged with one snap (catch) element each 10 and 12 at their free ends for engagement in the opening 13 and 14 the tongue-shaped extensions 5 and 6 the closure cap in the closed state of the tool handle, so that the cap 3 not from the tool handle 2 can solve.

To release the cap, the Schapp (catch) elements 10 and 12 pressed inwards (into the tool handle inside) and the cap 3 from the tool handle 2 deducted.

The closing of the open tool handle with the cap is characterized by the cap edge 4 outgoing guide elements 7 and 8th relieved, which in the opening 17 of the tool handle 2 be plugged, wherein the outer surface of the guide elements rests against the inner wall of the tool handle.

The round in the inner contour training (seen in cross section) of the handle and its curvature adapted guide elements 7 and 8th serve when closing the opening 17 both the axial alignment when sliding the Kapppe on the handle and the stabilization of the cap 3 in the tongue-shaped recesses 15 and 16 , The semicircular shape of the tongue-shaped extensions 5 and 6 is used for radial alignment with the tongue-shaped recesses 15 and 16 ,

The guide elements 7 and 8th and / or the extensions 5 and 6 are rejuvenated to their free ends.

For the one with the cap 3 locked tool handle 2 is the outer surface of the cap edge 4 and the tongue-like extension 5 respectively. 6 on the adjacent outer surface of the tool handle 2 aligned in alignment.
