  • Patent number: 9272722
    Abstract: The placement tray (6) comprises a general plane (6a) and at least one rim (60, 80) movable between a rest position in which the or each rim (60, 80) is disposed so that it projects relative to the general plane (6a) and a working position in which the or each rim (60, 80) is aligned relative to the general plane (6a). The or each rim (60, 80) retracts automatically under the action of a load (F) which biases the or each rim (60, 80) from its rest position towards its working position, the load being placed on the upper surface of the tray (6) vertically above the or each rim (60, 80).

  • Patent number: 8613240
    Abstract: This tool substantially extends in a general plane (XY) and comprises: —at least one working head (12, 13) intended to cooperate with the fastener; —a handle (14) which is integral with the or each working head; the handle extending along a longitudinal axis (X-X) and comprising a linear portion (15) and at least one connection portion (16, 17) which connects the or each working head to the linear portion, the linear portion of the handle having a section transverse to the longitudinal axis (X-X) which comprises a relatively large transverse dimension substantially parallel with the general plane of the tool (XY) perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (X-X), and a relatively small dimension perpendicular to the general plane of the tool (XY). The large dimension and the small dimension of the transverse section are changing along the longitudinal axis. Use in flat wrenches, combination wrenches and ring wrenches.

  • Patent number: 8038020
    Abstract: A support for a series of tools, each tool including at least one head and one handle, includes a base; a plurality of housings, each housing being intended to receive and retain the handle; a plurality of means for receiving and retaining a head, each receiving and retaining means being intended to receive and retain the head; the housings and the receiving and retaining means being secured to the base, each housing comprising two partitions, at least one of the partitions including a means for positioning the handle. At least one partition, which is formed integrally with the base, is designed to flex elastically and transversely to allow the handle to overcome the means for positioning the handle.
