Description

  The present invention relates to a storage case for storing a power tool and its accessories.

  A conventional storage case for a power tool will be described with reference to FIGS.

  5 and 6 are plan views showing a state in which an upper cover and a lower cover of a conventional storage case are opened.

  The storage case 1 shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 is configured by axially fixing an upper lid 2 and a lower lid 3 which are divided into two by a support member 4 such as a pin so that the upper lid 2 and the lower lid 3 can be opened and closed. Are provided with a power tool storage unit 8 for storing a power tool 5, a charger 6, and a reserve storage battery 7, a charger storage unit 9, and a reserve storage battery storage unit 10, respectively.

  By the way, the size of the charger 6 and the storage battery 7 differ depending on the specification. For example, the charger 6 is different in the size of the board assembly on which the transformer and electronic components are mounted depending on the charging time and input voltage, and the storage battery 7 is different in the battery type and battery voltage such as lithium ion and nickel hydride. The size is different.

  However, although the electric tool 5 can be combined with the charger 6 and the storage battery 7 having different specifications, in order to share the storage case 1, the charger 6 and the storage battery 7 having different specifications having different sizes must be included. I must. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, the charger storage unit 9 and the spare storage battery storage unit 10 are inevitably shaped to match the large charger 6 and the large storage battery 7 shown in FIG. The holding of the small storage battery 7 was insufficient.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, when the electric tool 5 is combined with the small charger 6 or the small storage battery 7, a packing 21 such as a packing is pasted on the charger storage unit 9 or the spare storage battery storage unit 10 at the time of shipment from the factory. The charger 6 and the storage battery 7 are prevented from scattering.

  In the conventional storage case, when a customer who uses a combination of a small charger and a small storage battery obtains a separate charger or large storage battery with a different specification and stores it separately, there is a problem that the padding becomes an obstacle and cannot be stored. It was.

  In addition, when a customer who uses a combination of a large charger or a large storage battery stores a small charger or small storage battery in a storage case, there is no padding, so there is insufficient pressure on the charger or storage battery. Battery chargers and storage batteries may scatter and damage or damage power tools and other storage items. As a result, the specifications of the storage case could not be standardized, depending on the accessories to be combined, depending on the presence or absence of padding.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a common storage case that can hold storage items of different sizes.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention comprises an upper lid and a lower lid, and the mating portion is composed of an upper lid and a lower lid that are axially fixed by a support member so as to be openable and closable. In a storage case provided with a storage unit for storing the accessory, the storage unit can store stored items of different sizes, and moves to a position where it comes into contact with the stored item to hold the stored item. A holding member and an urging member for urging the holding member toward the stored item are provided.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to store storage items of different sizes in the storage part of the storage case, and to move the holding member to a position where it comes into contact with the storage item and hold the storage item, and the holding member Since the urging member for biasing the stored item is provided, the stored item can be held even if the size of the stored item changes, and the stored item can be prevented from being scattered, and the storage case can be made common. .

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  1 is a plan view showing a state in which the upper and lower lids of the storage case according to the present invention are opened, FIG. 2 is an enlarged detail view of part A in FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line BB in FIG. FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along the line CC of FIG.

  The storage case 1 shown in FIG. 1 is configured by axially fixing an upper lid 2 and a lower lid 3 divided in two by a support member 4 such as a pin so as to be freely opened and closed. A power tool storage unit 8 for storing the power tool 5 and its charger 6 as an accessory, and a reserve storage battery 7, a charger storage unit 9 and a reserve storage battery storage unit 10 are provided. Here, since the charger 6 and the storage battery 7 are different in size due to the difference in specifications, the charger storage unit 9 and the reserve storage battery storage unit 10 are configured so that the charger 6 and the storage battery 7 having different sizes can be inserted. It has a shape tailored to large storage items.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3, two rails 12 having claw portions 11 are juxtaposed on the lower cover 3 of the charger housing portion 9, and the claw portions 13 that engage with the claw portions 11 of the rail 12. A holding member 15 having a slope 14 (see FIG. 4) is movably provided along the rail 12, and the holding member 15 is always urged toward the charger 6 by a spring 17 as an urging member. ing.

  Thus, as shown in FIG. 4, when the charger 6 is housed in the direction of the arrow b, the slope portion 14 provided on the holding member 15 abuts against the side surface 16 of the charger 6. It is pushed in the direction of arrow a in the figure against the urging force of 17 to allow passage of the charger 6 and presses and holds the charger 6 stored in the charger storage portion 9.

  As described above, the holding member 15 moves to a position that matches the size of the charger 6 to store the charger 6 in the charger storage portion 9 and presses the charger 6 by the urging force of the spring 17. Since this is held, the chargers 6 having different sizes can be held without being scattered.

  In addition, for the reserve battery 7, the holding member 18 moves along the rail 19 to a position that matches the size of the battery 7 in the same manner as described above, and stores the battery 7 in the reserve battery storage unit 10. Since the storage battery 7 is pressed and held by the urging force of the spring 20, the storage batteries 7 having different sizes can be held without being scattered, and the common use of the storage case 1 can be measured.

It is a top view which shows the state which opened the upper cover and lower cover of the storage case which concern on this invention. It is the A section enlarged detail drawing of FIG. FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along line B-B in FIG. 2. It is CC sectional view taken on the line of FIG. It is a top view which shows the state which opened the upper cover and lower cover of the conventional storage case. It is a top view which shows the state which opened the upper cover and lower cover of the conventional storage case.
