Description

La présente invention concerne un magasin ou conteneur d'outils de dimensions suffisamment réduites pour être facilement mis dans une poche de vêtement.The present invention relates to a tool magazine or container for small enough to be easily put in a pocket clothing.

Lorsqu'on désire transporter avec soi, dans une poche, une série d'outils, on dispose généralement de deux sortes de moyens; tout d'abord on peut avoir un conteneur, de forme généralement cylindrique, dont une extrémité forme couvercle et où les différents outils sont contenus à l'intérieur d'une partie creuse dudit cylindre. Généralement, un embout prévu sur l'autre extrémité du conteneur permet d'adapter chaque outil, le conteneur fonctionnant alors comme manche de l'outil en service. Un tel dispositif comporte plusieurs inconvénients, notamment le fait, vu que les outils sont placés en vrac à l'intérieur du conteneur, de devoir vider complètement le conteneur pour choisir un outil déterminé; de même il est généralement nécessaire de replacer les outils selon un ordre déterminé à l'intérieur du conteneur si on désire que tous y prennent place. Un tel dispositif ne permet pas de constater facilement s'il manque un outil.When you want to carry with you, in a pocket, a series tools, there are generally two kinds of means; first of all we may have a container, generally cylindrical in shape, one of which end form cover and where the different tools are contained inside of a hollow part of said cylinder. Generally, one nozzle provided on the other end of the container makes it possible to adapt each tool, the container then functioning as the handle of the tool in service. Such a device has several drawbacks, including the fact that the tools are placed in bulk inside the container, having to completely empty the container for choosing a specific tool; similarly it is generally tools must be replaced in a specified order inside the container if you want everyone to take their place. Such a device does not allow not easily see if a tool is missing.

Un autre moyen consiste à réunir les différents outils par une de leurs extrémités et à les monter entre deux côtes latérales afin de former un dispositif de type canif ou « couteau suisse ». Dans ce cas, certains ustensiles, par exemple un cure-dents ou des brucelles, peuvent être enfilés dans un logement adapté. Lorsque le nombre d'ustensils est important, la largeur du couteau devient prohibitive. De plus l'utilisateur n'a pas le choix des outils pour ses besoins propres, les différents ustensiles étant montés en usine par le fabricant du couteau.Another way is to bring the different tools together by one of their ends and to mount them between two lateral ribs to form a penknife or "Swiss knife" type device. In this case, some utensils, for example a toothpick or tweezers, can be threaded into a adapted accommodation. When the number of utensils is large, the width of the knife becomes prohibitive. In addition, the user has no choice of tools for its own needs, the various utensils being assembled in the factory by the knife maker.

CH-A-6 545 14 décrit un magasin d'outils comme mentionné dans le préambule des revendications 1 et 2.CH-A-6 545 14 describes a tool magazine as mentioned in the preamble of claims 1 and 2.

Un premier but de l'invention est de proposer un magasin d'outils ne rencontrant pas les inconvénients des dispositifs connus, soit permettant d'accéder facilement à un outil déterminé pour pouvoir le sortir ou le ranger, ainsi que de pouvoir facilement contrôler la présence de tous les outils, tout en restant dans des dimensions permettant de le mettre en poche. A first object of the invention is to propose a tool store which does not not meeting the drawbacks of known devices, or allowing easy access to a specific tool to be able to take it out or put it away, as well as being able to easily control the presence of all the tools, while remaining in dimensions allowing to put it in pocket.

Un deuxième but de l'invention est de proposer un magasin d'outils modulable selon les besoins de l'utilisateur, soit laissant à ce dernier le choix des outils à inclure dans le dispositif.A second object of the invention is to provide a tool store flexible according to user needs, giving the user the choice tools to include in the device.

Ces différents buts sont atteints par un magasin d'outils répondant aux revendications.These different goals are achieved by a tool store that meets to the claims.

Une forme d'exécution préférentielle comportant deux variantes des moyens d'ouverture d'un magasin d'outils selon l'invention est décrite ci-dessous, en regard du dessin annexé comportant les figures où:

  • les figures 1A, 1B et 1C représentent une forme d'exécution d'un magasin d'outils à l'état fermé, selon respectivement une vue depuis une première extrémité, selon une face latérale et selon une deuxième extrémité,
  • la figure 2A représente une vue latérale du même magasin ouvert selon une première variante des moyens d'ouverture,
  • la figure 2B représente un échantillonnage d'outils visibles sur la figure précédente,
  • la figure 3 représente le même magasin ouvert vu par-dessus,
  • la figure 4A représente une vue latérale d'un magasin ouvert selon une deuxième variante des moyens d'ouverture, et
  • la figure 4B représente un autre échantillonnage d'outils visibles à la figure précédente.
    • A preferred embodiment comprising two variants of the means for opening a tool magazine according to the invention is described below, with reference to the appended drawing comprising the figures where:
  • FIGS. 1A, 1B and 1C represent an embodiment of a tool magazine in the closed state, respectively according to a view from a first end, along a lateral face and along a second end,
  • FIG. 2A represents a side view of the same store opened according to a first variant of the opening means,
  • FIG. 2B represents a sampling of tools visible in the previous figure,
  • FIG. 3 represents the same open store seen from above,
  • FIG. 4A represents a side view of a store opened according to a second variant of the opening means, and
  • FIG. 4B represents another sampling of tools visible in the preceding figure.

    • Comme on le voit sur les figures, le magasin d'outils 1 selon l'invention a la forme générale d'un « couteau suisse ». D'après les figures 1A et 1C, on voit que ses dimensions, notamment sa largeur restent assez faibles. Le magasin d'outils 1 est donc constitué d'un corps 10 comportant deux côtes latérales 11 et 12 maintenues ensemble de manière connue et laissant un espacement entre elles. A côté d'un ustensile de stockage d'outils 2 qui sera décrit plus bas, le magasin 1 peut encore comporter un ou plusieurs autres ustensiles ou lames, par exemple une lame de couteau 13 ou un poinçon 14, ces autres outils étant montés et utilisables de manière connue.As can be seen in the figures, the tool magazine 1 according to the invention has the general form of a "swiss army knife". From Figures 1A and 1C, it can be seen that its dimensions, in particular its width, remain quite small. The tool magazine 1 therefore consists of a body 10 comprising two ribs side 11 and 12 held together in a known manner and leaving a spacing between them. Next to a tool storage utensil 2 which will be described below, the magazine 1 may also include one or more other utensils or blades, for example a knife blade 13 or a punch 14, these other tools being mounted and usable in a known manner.

    Le magasin d'outils 1 comporte un ustensile, ou lame, de stockage 2, disposé dans l'espacement entre les deux côtes latérales 11 et 12 et qui peut être extrait, respectivement introduit dans le corps 10 selon deux variantes. Selon une première variante, représentée par la double flèche de la figure 2A, une première extrémité de l'ustensile de stockage 2 est montée de manière pivotante sur un pivot 20, ce qui permet de sortir l'ustensile respectivement de l'introduire entre les deux côtes latérales 11 et 12 du corps 10 de la même manière qu'une lame de couteau habituelle. A cet effet, l'autre extrémité de l'ustensile de stockage 2 comprend des moyens de prise 21 (voir figures 1C et 2A) permettant de le saisir afin de le faire pivoter.The tool magazine 1 includes a storage utensil, or blade 2, arranged in the space between the two lateral ribs 11 and 12 and which can be extracted, respectively introduced into the body 10 in two variants. According to a first variant, represented by the double arrow of the 2A, a first end of the storage utensil 2 is mounted swivel on a pivot 20, which allows the utensil to be removed respectively to introduce it between the two lateral ribs 11 and 12 of the body 10 in the same way as a usual knife blade. For this purpose, the other end of the storage utensil 2 comprises gripping means 21 (see Figures 1C and 2A) allowing it to be grasped in order to rotate it.

    Selon une autre variante, représentée par la double flèche de la figure 4A, l'ustensile 2 est coulissant longitudinalement entre les deux côtes latérales 11 et 12, le long de moyens de coulisses non représentés sur les figures. L'ustensile de stockage 2 peut alors être complètement sorti du corps 10 et être séparé de ce dernier, ou alors être retenu, par des moyens connus, au corps 10. De la même manière que précédemment, des moyens de prise 21 peuvent aider à sortir l'ustensile de stockage 2 du corps 10.According to another variant, represented by the double arrow of the Figure 4A, the utensil 2 is sliding longitudinally between the two ribs side 11 and 12, along slide means not shown on the figures. The storage utensil 2 can then be completely removed from the body 10 and be separated from the latter, or else be retained, by known means, to the body 10. In the same way as previously, gripping means 21 can help remove storage utensil 2 from body 10.

    L'ustensile de stockage 2 est constitué notamment d'une paroi 22 comportant sur une ou ses deux faces une pluralité de tenons de fixation 23. Les tenons de fixation 23 sont de préférence regroupés de manière à pouvoir y insérer une pluralité d'outils 3, par pincement de chacun entre deux ou trois tenons 23. On voit par exemple à la figure 2A que la face montrée de l'ustensile de stockage 2 comporte dix-huit tenons 23, disposés en groupes de trois de manière à pouvoir stocker six outils 3 parallèlement entre eux. De manière semblable, bien que ce ne soit pas absolument nécessaire, l'autre face de l'ustensile de stockage 2 visible à la figure 4A porte le même nombre de tenons 23 pour accepter le même nombre d'outils 3. A titre d'exemple d'outils qu'il est possible de stocker dans un tel dispositif on a, comme on peut le voir aux figures 2B et 4B, une lime fine 30, un premier tournevis à fente 31, deux tournevis à six pans 32 et 33, une pointe 34, un tournevis en croix 35 et deux autres tournevis à fente 36 et 37. On remarque donc que tous les outils 3 sont indépendants du magasin d'outils 1; ils peuvent donc facilement être choisis par l'utilisateur lors de l'achat du magasin ou alors choisis, par exemple pour un dépannage déterminé, parmi une gamme plus complète à disposition de l'utilisateur.The storage utensil 2 consists in particular of a wall 22 comprising on one or both of its faces a plurality of fixing lugs 23. The fixing studs 23 are preferably grouped so as to be able to insert a plurality of tools 3, by pinching each one between two or three tenons 23. We see for example in Figure 2A that the face shown of the utensil storage 2 includes eighteen tenons 23, arranged in groups of three of so that six tools 3 can be stored parallel to each other. So similar, although not absolutely necessary, the other side of the storage utensil 2 visible in FIG. 4A carries the same number of studs 23 to accept the same number of tools 3. As an example of tools it is possible to store in such a device we have, as we can see at Figures 2B and 4B, a fine file 30, a first slotted screwdriver 31, two hexagon screwdriver 32 and 33, a point 34, a cross screwdriver 35 and two other slotted screwdrivers 36 and 37. It can therefore be seen that all of the tools 3 are independent of tool magazine 1; so they can easily be chosen by the user when buying the store or so chosen, for example for a determined troubleshooting, from a more complete range available to the user.

    Le magasin d'outils a été décrit avec un ustensile de stockage 2 équipé sur ses deux faces de moyens de fixation 23; il est évidemment aussi possible que seule une face soit conformée pour recevoir des outils. De même il est possible de prévoir plus d'un ustensile de stockage 2 entre les deux côtes latérales 11 et 12, chacun des ustensiles pouvant être équipé sur une ou ses deux faces.The tool magazine has been described with a storage utensil 2 fitted on its two faces with fixing means 23; it is obviously also it is possible that only one face is shaped to receive tools. Likewise it is possible to provide more than one storage utensil 2 between the two ribs side 11 and 12, each of the utensils being able to be equipped on one or its two sides.

    On remarque sur la portion arrière de quelques-uns des outils, notamment sur le tournevis 31, un moyen d'accrochage 310. Cette portion arrière de l'outil 31 peut être insérée dans un logement 15 qui peut être prévu sur une extrémité du corps 10 ou dans un logement 16 qui peut être prévu sur une côte latérale du corps 10. En encliquetant les moyens d'accrochage 310 dans un dispositif connu prévu à cet effet à l'intérieur du ou des logements 15,16, il est possible d'utiliser le corps 10 comme manche pour l'outil 31.We notice on the back portion of some of the tools, in particular on the screwdriver 31, a hooking means 310. This portion rear of the tool 31 can be inserted into a housing 15 which can be provided on one end of the body 10 or in a housing 16 which can be provided on a lateral side of the body 10. By snapping on the hooking means 310 in a known device provided for this purpose inside the housing (s) 15,16, it is possible to use the body 10 as a handle for the tool 31.

    Le même moyen d'accrochage 310 peut aussi par exemple s'adapter à un mandrin d'un actionneur d'outils comme par exemple un visseur/dévisseur alimenté par batteries ou par n'importe quelle source d'énergie.The same attachment means 310 can also for example adapt to a chuck of a tool actuator such as for example a screwdriver / unscrewer powered by batteries or any source of energy.

    Ainsi, sous un faible volume, l'utilisateur dispose d'une gamme d'outils, qu'il peut adapter à ses besoins, les outils étant facilement accessibles individuellement et si nécessaire, certains d'entre eux pouvant facilement être utilisables en coopération avec le corps du magasin comme manche ou support dudit outil.Thus, under a low volume, the user has a range tools, which he can adapt to his needs, the tools being easily accessible individually and if necessary, some of which can easily be usable in cooperation with the body of the store as handle or support said tool.
