Description

  This invention relates to a tool caddy used for maintenance of vehicles such as automobiles.

  Since automobiles are composed of many parts, many tools are required for periodic inspections such as vehicle inspections and repairs. Some repair shops aim to improve work by placing many of these tools side-by-side on a wall surface or placing them on a work table of appropriate height and length for easy removal. However, in the method of arranging the tool at a fixed position such as a wall surface, the worker must leave the vehicle every time the tool is changed, and the side surface of the vehicle on the same side as the place where the tool is arranged is easy to repair. In order to repair the side of the vehicle on the opposite side, there was an inconvenience that the worker had to make a large detour.

In order to solve the above inconvenience, a wagon for vehicle maintenance, in which a required tool is mounted on a cart with a caster or a wagon with wheels of an appropriate size, is used (Patent Document 1). .
JP 2001-354140 A

As mentioned above, the method of placing the necessary tools on the side walls, shelves, or work benches in the factory is inefficient if the operator goes to pick them one by one. When one work is finished, there is a troublesome work of returning it to the shelf etc. and carrying the tool for the next work. In that case, if the position to return the tool is not done correctly, the next work There were also problems such as causing problems.
In addition, in the case of a wagon or cart loaded with the necessary tools, there is no work to carry the tools one by one as described above, but a large number of tools are placed in a limited loading range, so it is necessary for the current work. There was a problem that it was difficult to remove the tool under the next work tool.
This device is intended to solve these problems.

The present invention relates to a vehicle maintenance tool caddy in which tools can be easily taken out according to work.

FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the door of the shelf 3 is opened. In this example, the shelf 3 has two upper and lower stages, and a hammer, an oil bottle, and the like are housed in the shelf, but the usage method may be arbitrarily set.
The doors 31 and 32 of the shelf part 3 are such that an appropriate gap is generated between the lower end of the doors 31 and 32 and the table plate 21 of the base part 2. This type of conventional caddy for vehicle maintenance has a box shape and the front has the same plane in the vertical direction, so even if the front door is opened and the tool is taken out, there is no place for temporary placement during work. There was no. In the present invention, by opening the doors 31 and 32 below, the surface of the table plate 21 can be sufficiently used even when the doors are closed, and a long member such as a lift attachment as shown in FIG. Can be put.
When the door is closed, it is more convenient to fix the closed state with a magnet or the like.

The tool placement portion 4 is preferably a shape in which the central portion is recessed in a dish shape so that the tool placement portion 4 does not fall out of the caddy when a tool is placed during work.
