Description

Tool storage device

The invention relates to a tool storage device, and in particular to a technical improvement of a tool storage device for storing tools.

According to the general tool storage device, a tool holder is provided with a plurality of spaced grooves, which can be used to store a plurality of tools. The inner diameter of each groove is usually slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the tool to ensure that the tool can be tightly fixed after being placed in the groove. However, due to the large contact area between the inner peripheral wall and the outer peripheral surface of the tool, the friction force between them is large, making it difficult for the tool to pull out of the groove.

Therefore, it is necessary to provide a novel and progressive tool storage device to solve the above problems.

The main purpose of this invention is to provide a tool storage device in which the tool inserted in the container can be firmly positioned and the tool can be easily pulled out of the container.

In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides a tool storage device, which includes a storage seat and at least one accommodation part. Each accommodation part includes a peripheral wall and a receiving groove. The peripheral wall constitutes the receiving groove. The peripheral wall includes a receiving groove. A radially penetrating groove for inserting a tool.

The following examples are only used to illustrate the possible implementation of this invention, but they are not intended to limit the scope of protection sought by this invention. The "one" or "at least one" before the nouns mentioned in the article do not limit the quantity. It can also be "plural" according to the requirements. This change in quantity is also the scope of the desired protection, which will be explained first.

Please refer to FIGS. 1 to 7 , which show a first preferred embodiment of the invention. The tool storage device 1 of the invention includes a storage seat 10 .

The receiving seat 10 includes at least one receiving portion 20. Each of the receiving portions 20 includes a peripheral wall 22 and a receiving groove 23. The peripheral wall 22 constitutes the receiving groove 23. The peripheral wall 22 includes a radially penetrating groove 40. The receptacle 23 is for inserting a tool 2, such as a screwdriver head; thereby, the tool 2 inserted in the receptacle 23 can be firmly positioned, and the tool 2 can be easily pulled out of the receptacle. slot 23.

In this embodiment, the peripheral wall 22 includes two spaced apart arm portions 24. The groove 40 is formed between the arm portions 24.
