New description: [New technical field] This creation is a hand tool for parts or accessories of wrenches, wrenches, screwdrivers, especially a tool head storage structure for a screwdriver. [Prior Art] In order to facilitate the assembly and disassembly of various structures and the various working environments, humans have developed hand tools with different requirements. Press, a screwdriver disclosed on the market (see As shown in FIG. 1 , the driver 90 has a grip 91. The grip 91 axially forms a chamber 911 for receiving a roller 92, and the roller 92 is axially arranged at a plurality of ends. The receiving head 921 is disposed in the tool head A, and the handle 91 is oppositely disposed with a through hole 912 extending through the chamber 911. The end of the grip 91 is provided with a cover 93 for closing the chamber 911. The cover is provided. 93 is eccentrically formed with a guide hole 931 opposite to the receiving groove 921. When the roller 92 is pressed by the rotation of the chamber 911 of the grip 91, the guide hole 931 of the cover 93 will be selectively associated with the roller 92. The storage groove 921 communicates with the tool head A to enter and exit the storage groove 921 of the roller 92. The conventional structure further analyzes that the following problems still exist: 1. The roller 92 segment must be pushed to apply force, and the other segment must be provided. The tool head A is accommodated, and the drum 92 must have a considerable length to perform work. The overall length of the driver must be increased to accommodate the roller 92, which not only cannot use a narrow operating space, but also increases the burden of material required for manufacturing. 5 M340893 2· The edge driver pushes the roller 92 through the hole 912. Rolling, providing a thumb to refer to such a small hole 912 in the #, one operation in a narrow space day to know 'causes the user difficult to force the roller 92, not to mention the strength of the old and weak women and children User. ~ I have this, the creator of this case has been carefully thought out, and has been designed with many years of experience. After many discussions and trials of sample tests, and many corrections and improvements, a tool head storage structure for the starter was developed. [New Content] This creation department is a jade head storage structure with a screwdriver, which is designed to be rotatably assembled to the grip through a turntable, thereby shortening the length and reducing the volume. In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention is a tool head storage structure of a screwdriver, the Haiqizi has a grip, the grip is provided with a tool head storage structure, and the tool head storage structure includes a plurality of housing portions. Each of the accommodating portions is axially disposed on the grip; the limiting portion is axially formed at one end of the grip, and the accommodating portion is axially penetrated through the limiting portion; A through hole is formed eccentrically, and the rotating cover is in position with respect to the limiting portion.卩, the positioning portion of the switch is rotatably assembled on the limit portion of the handle, and when the cover is turned, the through hole of the cover will be opened and closed to the receiving portion 0 M340893 by further analysis The following effects can be obtained: _1. The driver is axially assembled with the flip cover through the grip, which not only reduces the overall length of the screwdriver, but also reduces the cost of the material and reduces the burden of manufacturing costs; 2. The screwdriver passes through the grip The axial assembly of the flip cover allows the user to apply force by the force of the finger or the palm, which not only prevents the user from being obstructed by the space, but also makes the work smoother. • [f] The techniques, means and other functions used in this creation are described in detail with reference to the drawings, and it is believed that the above objects, features and other advantages of the present invention may be An in-depth and specific understanding; the creation screwdriver 10 (see Figures 2 and 3) has a grip 20 and a set of rods 30, the grip 20 comprising a tool head receiving structure 40; The head receiving structure 40 includes a wearing portion 41, a plurality of receiving portions Φ 42 , a limiting portion 43 and a rotating cover 44 ; the wearing portion 41 is axially formed at the center of the grip 20 , and the insertion portion The portion 41 is a circular hole, and the insertion portion 41 is disposed for the set of rods 3; the receiving portion 42 is axially formed around the insertion portion 41, the receiving portion 42 is a circular groove, and the receiving portion The portion 42 is received by the tool head a; the limiting portion 43 is axially formed at the end of the grip 20, and the limiting portion 43 axially communicates with the receiving portion 41 and the receiving portion 42 for the insertion. The portion 41 and the accommodating portion 42 extend axially through the limiting portion 43. The limiting portion 43 is radially disposed with a card protrusion 431. The card 7 M340893 is formed on the protrusion 431 by a plurality of openings. The positioning recess 432 and the plurality of closing positioning recesses 433 are respectively formed with respect to the respective receiving portions 42 respectively formed between the two opening positioning recesses 432; the rotating cover 44 has A cover portion 441 and a positioning portion 442, the cover portion 441 of the flip cover 44 is axially eccentrically formed with a through hole 443, and the positioning portion 442 is axially formed on the periphery of the cover portion 441, and the inner side surface of the positioning portion 442 Forming a positioning protrusion 444, the inner wall edge of the positioning portion 442 is radially annularly provided with a card protrusion 445; the rotating cover 44 (see FIGS. 3, 4 and 5) is opposite to the positioning portion 442 The limiting portion 43 is assembled such that the tab 445 of the flip cover 44 is placed on the side of the tab 431 of the limiting portion 43 , and the receiving portion 41 and the receiving portion 42 are covered by the flip cover 44 . The portion 441 is disposed to prevent the tool head a received in the receiving portion 42 from falling, and the positioning protrusion 444 of the rotating cover 44 is selectively positioned at the opening and positioning recess 432 of the limiting portion 43 and the positioning recess is closed. 433, when the positioning protrusion 444 is positioned on the opening and positioning recess 432, the through hole 443 of the rotating cover 44 will be opposite to a receiving portion 42 thereof. The opening state of the tool head A can be provided. When the positioning protrusion is located in the closing positioning recess 433, the through hole 443 of the rotating cover 44 will not be opposite to the receiving portion 42 thereof, and the closed state is not provided. Head a goes in and out. Another embodiment of the limiting portion 43 and the flip cover 44 is as follows: the limit position 443 (see FIG. 6) is axially formed at one end of the grip 2, the limit portion 43' axis The insertion portion 41 and the accommodating portion 42 are connected to the accommodating portion 42 and the accommodating portion 42 is axially penetrated through the limiting portion 43.
