Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an innovative case for tool accessories, in particular jigsaw blades or drills. It is a general aim of the present invention to provide a case of reduced cost and practical use.
  • a case for tool accessories such as drills or jigsaw blades
  • a base on which a closure lid is slidable housings for the accessories which are aligned and directed in the sliding direction of the lid being present in the base, characterised in that the base has a hinged head end capable of being overturned backward on opening of the lid.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective front view of the case in a closed condition
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective front view of the case in an open condition
  • FIG. 3 is a view similar to that in FIG. 2 but seen from another angle;
  • FIG. 4 is a perspective rear view of the case
  • FIG. 5 is an enlarged view showing a first hinging means of the case portions
  • FIG. 6 is an enlarged view of a second possible hinging means
  • FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view showing coupling between the case base and lid.
  • a case generally identified at 10 comprises a base 11 on which a lid 12 slides in the same manner as a drawer.
  • the base has a portion projecting from the case and provided with a hole 16 for hanging.
  • the base has a plurality of housings 13 disposed parallel to the sliding direction of the lid to receive the tool accessories.
  • Shown in the figure is for example a blade 14 for a jigsaw.
  • Housings 13 can obviously be of any appropriate configuration as known, to receive other accessories such as drills for example.
  • the housings can be formed with a sloping shape to reduce the transverse extension of the case.
  • said housings show a “saw tooth” conformation in the transverse direction of the case.
  • the head end 15 of the base is hinged on the remaining portion of the base along a line transverse to the sliding direction of the lid so that it can be overturned backward once the lid uncovers it, passing from the position shown in chain line to the position shown in solid line in FIG. 2.
  • the overturned portion enables the end of the accessories contained in the case to be freed so that extraction of same by a user is made easier.
  • the overturned portion embodies a support foot to keep the case in a sloping position when the latter rests on a surface as clearly shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • Shown in more detail in FIG. 4 is a possible embodiment of the hinging elements 17 between the fixed base and the tiltable portion.
  • the hinging means 17 comprises two wings or hinge elements 18 , 19 fitted into each other.
  • the two hinged portions can be made of one piece construction, by use of a flexure hinge 20 having a bending line of appropriate thickness.
  • This technical solution is applicable by making the base of an appropriate material such as polyethylene.
  • FIG. 7 Shown in FIG. 7 is a possible conformation of the housings 13 and coupling between the lid and base.
  • Each housing has a sloping bottom surface 21 on which the blade 14 rests.
  • the base is provided with a rib 23 at each housing which is slidably received in a mating groove 24 in the lid.
  • the lid is slidably in engagement with the base by means of mutual coupling side surfaces 22 sloping inwardly.
