Definitions

  • the invention relates to a bit box for receiving at least one, preferably several shorter tool bits that function as exchangeable insert tools and at least one further insert tool that is longer than the tool bits, with a first housing part that functions as a receiving space for the tools and one that can be pivoted with the first housing part connected second housing part and functioning as a clasp, the two housing parts defining and closing a storage space for the tools in a closed closed position and allowing the tools to be removed in an open open position.
  • bits comprise tool heads of different designs, such as wrenches, Allen keys and the like, at one tool end. These can then be inserted and used in a screwdriver comprising a receiving sleeve designed as a bit holder. Besides the bits, which usually have a length up to 25mm have, a further insertion tool is often provided in such a bit box, which can also be inserted non-rotatably into the insertion sleeve of a screwdriver or a chuck of an electric tool.
  • This plug-in tool is usually made significantly longer than the tool bits, in particular about 3 to 4 times as long, and is designed at a rear plug-in end for insertion into a tool, in particular a power tool, and at a front receptacle end for rotatably receiving the tool bits.
  • Such an insertion tool is often designed as a quick-release chuck or the like, which can therefore be inserted into a power tool with its rear end in a rotationally fixed manner and has a holding chuck at the front end for holding the bits in a rotationally fixed manner.
  • the bits can thus be changed simply by simply pulling them out of the insert sleeve, without having to operate the chuck of the power tool. Examples are from the EP2412494A2 , US2013118939A1 , US2005242145A1 or DE10156459A1 known.
  • the invention is based on the object of at least partially avoiding these disadvantages and, in particular, of simplifying the removal of the further insertion tool, that is to say simplifying the ejection.
  • the first housing part is designed as a pocket-like enclosing receiving space for the tool bits
  • a receiving sleeve is provided in the first housing part for the non-rotatable receiving of the tool bits, which has a receiving sleeve longitudinal axis a first end designed as an actuating end for the non-rotatable insertion of the insert tools and a second bearing end diametrically opposite the actuating end is designed to receive the further insert tool in a bearing manner
  • the first housing part has a receiving space adjoining the bearing end and extending along a receiving space longitudinal axis for receiving the further insertion tool has that the receiving space with a receiving space longitudinal axis and a tipping point extending transversely to the receiving space longitudinal axis and remote from the storage end as well comprises a tilt pocket formed between the storage end and the tilt point.
  • the bit box is particularly preferably designed to accommodate and use insert tools in the area of switch cabinets, distributors and barriers, which usually have a somewhat wider closing surface than regular screw bits.
  • the first and the second housing part thus form a kind of receiving box or a receiving space for receiving the tool bits, for which the first housing part is preferably larger and also pocket-like for enclosing or enclosing the tool bits, and the second housing part is designed as a clasp, which preferably together with the first housing part forms a harmonious, assemblable overall unit, which is thus designed to complement the formation of a uniformly closed profile.
  • the receiving space or the receptacle is designed to simplify one-handed removal of the additional - elongated - insertion tool with just one finger or thumb.
  • This is preferably implemented using a tilting mechanism.
  • This tilting mechanism includes e.g. a recess between the storage end and a tipping point.
  • a ramp can be formed from the area of the tipping point, which makes it easier for the additional insertion tool to slide out.
  • the additional insert tool can e.g. be designed as an extension piece for the bits or as a step wrench, the further insertion tool (additional tool) in the preferred embodiment being approximately three to four times the length of the usual bits.
  • the rear side of the receiving sleeve forms with a bearing end a position-fixing coupling or decoupling point for the further insertion tool in the receiving space.
  • the receiving sleeve can be designed magnetically to simplify insertion and fixation, preferably only on one side, for example at the end of the bearing.
  • the second housing part is preferably made much smaller than the first housing part.
  • the second housing part is designed as a receptacle for the tool bits, e.g. by providing receiving openings on the inside of the second housing part, which are then introduced into the interior of the first housing part when the second housing part is arranged in the first housing part or when the two housing parts are connected to one another.
  • the second housing part is designed as a clasp and is hingedly or pivotably connected to the first housing part, e.g. on a laterally arranged pivot axis or latching device, which acts as an axis about which the second housing part is pivotably attached to the first housing part.
  • the clasp is particularly preferred to design the clasp as a swivel arm.
  • Either the first or the second or both housing parts preferably comprises position-fixing seats for at least one insertion tool.
  • the first housing part comprises a receptacle sleeve held in the housing in a rotationally fixed manner for receiving the tool bits in a rotationally fixed manner, preferably designed as a steel sleeve into which the tool bits and the further insert tool can be inserted in a rotationally fixed manner.
  • Embodiments provide a hexagon socket or another profile formed on the inside for a non-rotatable connection with the complementarily formed insertion ends of the tool bits or the additional insertion tool.
  • This insertion sleeve extends along a longitudinal axis or longitudinal axis of the tool and is preferably received in the housing in a rotationally fixed manner, in particular by overmolding with a housing part.
  • the front actuating end of the insertion sleeve preferably protrudes out of the housing in order to be able to use the tool bits accordingly for different purposes and to be able to use the housing as a lever arm for the rotation when the receiving sleeve with the non-rotatably connected housing is rotated around the longitudinal axis of the receiving sleeve.
  • the actuating end of the receiving sleeve forms the front end of the tool and protrudes from the first housing part or housing to a certain extent in order to simplify the insertion of the tool bits and the additional tool into the actuating end.
  • a housing part preferably the larger first housing part, but in any case the housing part comprising the receiving sleeve, comprises a receiving space or a pocket open on one side for this additional plug-in tool, in which the additional plug-in tool can be inserted so that it can be used can be connected to the storage end of the receiving sleeve in stock.
  • the storage end preferably extends over a certain section into the receiving space.
  • the pocket is preferably so deep that the additional plug-in tool dips completely into it or is received by it, that is to say it is not visible in the front or rear view.
  • the receiving sleeve can comprise a magnet, which simplifies the insertion and centering of the insert tool or helps to connect the insert tool to the bearing end.
  • the receiving space is according to the invention to simplify the Removal of the further insertion tool, including the receiving space in a receiving space longitudinal axis formed by the receiving space, which extends collinearly to the longitudinal axis of the receiving sleeve, a distance from the storage end preferably 2/3 of the distance based on the total length of the pocket and possibly also eccentrically from the Storage end remote tipping point and in the area between the tipping point and the storage end comprises a recess, recess or the like, which when loosening the additional plug-in tool enables the lowering of the further plug-in tool around the tipping point, so that an opposite other end or front end of the further plug-in tool from the surface of the housing protrudes upwards and thus enables easier removal.
  • a particularly harmonious pivoting is achieved if, measured from the lower edge of the insertion tool received in the storage end as a reference point, the distance from this lower edge to the tipping point (d) is approximately 2/3 of the total length of the insertion tool from this lower edge, which corresponds approximately to about 2/3 of the length of the pocket.
  • the maximum deflection in the tilting position (x) can be determined as required by the depth of the tipping trough (f) and the arrangement of the tilting line (K) in the housing.
  • the bit box can, in a further development, be tapered in the longitudinal direction away from the receiving sleeve and / or comprise a bevel.
  • Embodiments provide a logo field on the housing which is designed to accommodate a company logo and is easy to equip. This is preferably designed as a rectangular recess. Furthermore, various designs such as perforations, grooves, etc. can be integrated into the housing in order to give the housing a light impression.
  • tipping point is part of a tilting arc defined by the pocket, which is adapted to the geometric configuration of the additional plug-in tool, that is to say surrounds it approximately on one side in the installed position.
  • the additional plug-in tool can be designed as required to suit the customer. This is preferably designed as a step key that can be used to open, close and adjust doors, windows and the like. Previous step wrenches are usually fixed on tools, for example as a cross wrench.
  • the additional insertion tool in particular the step wrench, is for the first time arranged in a compact and captive manner in a bit box so that it can be removed with a finger or thumb.
  • the additional insert tool can be replaced by other parts, e.g. an extension for the insert tools, in particular bit holders.
  • connection In the context of this description, the terms “connected”, “connected” and “integrated” are used to describe both a direct and an indirect connection, a direct or indirect connection and a direct or indirect integration.
  • identical or similar elements are provided with identical reference symbols, insofar as this is appropriate.
  • the Figure 1 shows a perspective view of the bit box 2 according to the invention, which is designed at the same time as a turning tool and has a particularly pleasant shape to be held in the hand, for which purpose it has continuously rounded corners on the plastic housing 2.
  • the housing 2 is formed by an upper housing part 2.1, which forms a pocket-like receptacle that is circumferentially closed except for a lower opening and is rotatably connected to a second housing part designed as a clasp, so that this pivot arm 2.2 from the in Figure 1 shown closed position in the Figure 2 open position shown can be transferred, in which several bits or insert tools 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 9a formed as switch cabinet keys or wrenches are inserted and held on the inside of the pivot arm 2.2.
  • insertion tools 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 9a can then be inserted into a receiving sleeve 10 which is enclosed at the upper end of the upper housing part 2.1 and which has an actuating end 10.1 with a hexagon socket at the front end, which is complementary to the end-side plug-in profiles Tool bits is formed.
  • a receiving sleeve 10 which is enclosed at the upper end of the upper housing part 2.1 and which has an actuating end 10.1 with a hexagon socket at the front end, which is complementary to the end-side plug-in profiles Tool bits is formed.
  • the swivel arm 2.2 comprises at the rear end two spring elements 2.2.2 which protrude laterally and, in the installed position, engage in openings on the inside of the upper housing part 2.1.
  • These spring elements 2.2.2 serve as a fulcrum for fastening the pocket-like upper housing part 2.1 to the swivel arm 2.2, but also enable the swivel arm 2.2 to be removed from the upper housing part 2.1.
  • a latching tab on the front end of the swivel arm 2.2.1 engages in a correspondingly designed opening 2.2.1 in the upper housing part 2.1 in the closed position and fixes the upper housing part 2.1 compared to the swivel arm 2.2 in the closed position and prevents unintentional opening.
  • the upper housing part 2.1 comprises at the upper end and coaxially to the longitudinal axis of the receiving sleeve 10 a tapering to the rear end, one-sided open pocket 2.2.3, which is open to the front and closed to the rear and is also designed to insert one into the rear storage end 10.2 of the receiving sleeve 10 including the stepped wrench 12 used, which has a hexagon formed at a lower end for insertion into a joining partner and which has upwardly extending square edges of different sizes.
  • a tipping point or a tipping line running transversely to the pocket longitudinal axis and in the pocket 2.2.3 is in the area between this tipping line and the storage end 10 as Depression formed tipping trough formed into which the lower end of the step wrench 12 is immersed when the step wrench 12 is removed from the storage end 10.2 by simply pushing it with a finger, whereby the step wrench 12 then also slides down into the tipping trough and the rear end around the Tipping point so folds up over the outer surface of the housing.
  • tipping trough is arranged lowered in relation to the tipping point (K) so that the lower end of the step wrench 12 can dip or sink into this tipping trough when it is released from the holding end of the receiving sleeve 10.2.
  • the pocket 2.2.3 running backwards from the tipping point and a slope or a rise is formed in the pocket profile to prevent it from being pushed out but not immediately dropped out of the Realize pocket when loosening.
  • the finger presses the step wrench 12 down into the tilting pocket, tilts the step wrench around the tipping point so that it can be easily removed.
  • the holding force of the magnet is chosen so that it can easily be overcome by a finger, preferably this has a holding force in the range of 5-10.
  • the swivel arm 2.2 comprises a plurality of resiliently designed clamping seats on the inside for the position fixation of the insertion tools 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 9a.
  • Figure 10 shows a schematic plan view, partially in section, of the step wrench 12 received in the storage end 10.2 of the insertion sleeve 10 in the storage position and Figure 11 the same step wrench 12 in the pivot position.
  • x f b - d / 2 d shows the step wrench 12 after loosening from the storage end 10.2 of the insert sleeve 10 in the tilted position, but still received in the upper housing part 2.1, in which the upper end of the step wrench 12 protrudes upwards from the surface of the housing 12 and thus easy removal is.
  • triangle B and C must be different for tilting out of the front end, triangle B preferably being smaller than triangle C so that the length the protruding front part of the Insertion tool from the center line of the insert sleeve 10 is greater than the maximum depth of the tipping trough measured from the longitudinal axis of the insert sleeve.
  • the maximum deflection in the tilted position x can thus be determined by the depth of the tipping trough f and the arrangement of the tilting line K in the housing.
  • the insert tool does not have to be a step wrench, but can be any longer insert tool.
