Definitions
- the invention relates to a tool case with the features according to the preamble of claim 1.
- a stackable case for portable machine tools is known from EP 0 555 533, the one has box-shaped or bowl-shaped lower part and a lid.
- a stacking of several cases is possible in such a way that the lower part of an upper case sits on the lid of the case immediately below.
- the lid of the lower case is fixed between the lower part of this lower case and the lower part of the upper case arranged directly above it. In the stacked state, such a lid must therefore bear the weight of one or more suitcases stacked over it and their contents. This places a considerable load on the lid, which can damage the lid itself or the hinges or closures holding it.
- Connecting means are provided which enable a releasable connection between the lower parts of two suitcases of a stack of suitcases, each of which sits directly on top of one another, forming a coherent transport unit consisting of a plurality of suitcases. This is intended to ensure that a stack of suitcases can be lifted on the uppermost suitcase, the lower suitcases being hung underneath with the connecting means. A certain pretensioning force of the connecting means is required for an intimate connection which prevents the cases from slipping relative to one another.
- the invention has for its object to develop a generic tool case such that its stackability improves and its load is reduced in the stacked state. This object is achieved by a tool case with the features of claim 1.
- stack posts extending in the vertical direction are provided on the lower part of a tool case, between which a cover forming the cover lies in the closed state.
- the lower part and the stacking posts arranged thereon are designed in such a way that the lower part of a stacked tool case is supported on the stacking post of the respective lower tool case.
- the lid has no static function in the stacked state and can be made correspondingly light and simple, in particular together with any hinges and closures that may be present.
- this enables the cover to be designed freely according to the requirements ⁇ of the opening to be covered or of the tool to be transported, without having to take into account the static load during stack formation.
- a drawer is provided with a housing part and a horizontally insertable drawer, for example for accessories.
- the drawer is designed to be comparable to the tool case in which stacking posts absorb the weight forces, in particular in the side walls, as a result of which the drawer is essentially force-free.
- the drawer can thus be pulled forward out of its housing part without loosening the connection to the tool case above.
- the cover when the tool cases are stacked, expediently has a distance in the vertical direction from the lower part lying above it. This ensures that even in the dirty state of the cover, the lower part or both parts, there is no transmission of force in the stacked state from a lower part to the cover underneath.
- the spacing also enables the cover to be opened at least slightly in the stacked state, as a result of which it can be checked, for example, whether there is a tool in a case in question within a stack.
- Two opposite side walls of the lower part are advantageously pulled up laterally past the cover and thereby form the support posts.
- the design effort for this training is low.
- the side walls When stacked, the side walls are loaded within their wall level, which ensures a high load-bearing capacity even with a thin-walled and correspondingly light construction.
- the cover lying between the side walls can be designed with a large area, which enables unhindered access to the contents of the tool case.
- the cover is expedient on one between the Side walls of the rear wall of the lower part are pivotally fastened with hinges and can be fixed to a front wall of the lower part opposite the rear wall with a closure. The cover cannot be lost due to the connection with hinges.
- the cover In conjunction with the side walls that are pulled up to the side, the cover can be swiveled freely, which makes access to the interior of the tool case easier.
- two closures which are arranged laterally offset from the center of the front wall are expediently provided. On the one hand, this enables simple opening and closing of the cover, with one closure being able to be operated simultaneously by one hand of an operator.
- a well-distributed power transmission between the cover and the lower part is made possible in connection with the hinges, which avoids selective force peaks on the cover and enables a correspondingly light construction.
- the closures are advantageously countersunk with respect to the outer contour of the tool case in the closed state, which avoids inadvertent bumping or tearing and contributes to the reduction of the necessary storage space, particularly in the stacked state.
- the closures are advantageously designed such that they snap in automatically when the cover is closed, as a result of which the cover can then no longer open by itself. This increases the security against falling out of the content. To completely close the closures, then manually pressed into their locking position.
- the stackability is further improved in that means are provided to prevent tool cases stacked one above the other from slipping transversely to the direction of travel. These are designed in particular as form-fitting interlocking projections and guide recesses and are usefully provided with side bevels. This enables a precisely aligned stack formation with a correspondingly small storage space. When transported, for example in a vehicle to the construction site, slipping of tool cases stacked one above the other is avoided.
- the bevels simplify the formation of a stack, since an upper tool case only has to be placed imprecisely on a lower one, the lateral bevels favoring the projections sliding into the corresponding guide recesses.
- the projections are arranged on the lower part and are designed such that they protrude with respect to the bottom thereof against the vertical direction.
- the projections can also perform the function of adjustable feet for a single tool case to be set down.
- a guide recess is provided in the cover laterally adjacent to the two side walls and is designed in such a way that projections of a overlying lower part can be supported on the inside on the side walls.
- the guide recesses are expediently provided in each case in the region of the rear wall and the front wall, the guide recesses in the region of the front wall being separated from those in the region of the rear wall by stop faces.
- Correspondingly shaped projections with corresponding stop surfaces are provided which engage in these guide recesses when stacked on top of one another.
- the abutting abutment surfaces serve as protection against slipping in one direction from the front wall to the rear wall and vice versa. It may be expedient to make the respective guide recesses open in the direction of the adjacent rear wall or the adjacent front wall. This makes it possible, for example, to place a tool case obliquely from the front onto a lower tool case and to push it back towards the rear wall.
- the projections in the region of the front wall can slide into the corresponding open guide recesses until the rear projections in the region of the rear wall lie over their corresponding guide recesses and, in particular, slide into the guide recesses guided by the bevels.
- the side walls can have a recess on their top side pointing in the vertical direction and a corresponding elevation on their opposite bottom side.
- the undersides of an upper tool case rise into the corresponding recesses in the side walls of a lower tool case, thereby forming a positive connection.
- the recesses and elevations are delimited by oblique pressure surfaces which can be stacked against one another during stacking and which in a simple manner enable precise positive locking such that forces can be absorbed in both the vertical and horizontal directions.
- This also provides a precisely defined location of the introduction of force, which can be structurally and appropriately reinforced, while the other areas of the side walls can be kept simple and light. It may be expedient to make the upper side of the side walls convex and the lower side concavely curved. Due to the concave curvature of the underside, it is avoided that a single tool case, placed on a flat surface, rests with its raised portion underneath, so that the tool case can be stored against tipping over. When forming a stack of tool cases, the concavely curved undersides of the side walls each lie flat against the corresponding convexly curved upper sides and allow a flat, load-bearing power transmission in the side walls without loading the cover. Due to the differently directed curvature of the top and bottom, the user can see the top with the cover at a glance even in the absence of further markings, so that a storage of the tool case with its top turned down and the known consequences associated with it when opening is avoided.
- means are provided for, in particular, releasable, form-fitting connection in the vertical direction of tool cases stacked one above the other, which makes it possible to carry several stacked tool cases on one handle.
- a positive connection of individual tool cases to one another can be achieved in all three spatial axes, so that a stack formed in this way can also be tilted laterally and then lifted and carried, for example, on a handle attached to the front.
- the corresponding connecting means are expediently provided on the support posts and in particular on the side walls forming the support posts.
- brackets and ribs has a high load capacity with a simple structural design and correspondingly low manufacturing costs.
- the brackets are expediently pivotally attached to the respective side walls so that they cannot be lost in the released state.
- the clips can advantageously be designed as swiveling handles, which gives them a dual function: the clips in a lower area of a stack of tool boxes connect them positively to each other in the vertical direction, while the top clips can be swung out to the side and as a handle to lift or carry the whole Stack can serve.
- the storage space required is kept small by arranging locking recesses in which the latter means for the positive connection can be sunk. For example, in the case of stacks arranged side by side on a shelf, individual tool cases can be pulled out to the front without the side clamps of adjacent stacks being able to interlock.
- the cover is expediently lockable on the lower part.
- an opening is provided in the front wall and in the adjacent area of the cover, through which, for example, a padlock can be passed.
- the tool case and in particular its lower part, the cover and the clamps are made of plastic.
- the processing of the plastic by means of injection molding is expedient.
- Polypropylene or ABS have proven to be suitable for a high load-bearing capacity combined with a corresponding impact resistance and good workability.
