  • Patent number: 7032750
    Abstract: Storage device for at least one tool, in particular a screwing tool such as a screwdriver (1) or chuck (2) with exchangeable screwdriver inserts (3), having a base part (4) and a pivot-open lid part (5) articulated thereon, a mount (6, 7, 24) being provided for accommodating the tool (1, 2) in a fixed position in a plane in which the base part and/or lid part (5) extend/extends, and the lid part (5) having a window (8) which is similar to an outline contour of the tool (1, 2) and the peripheral-edge spacing of which is selected such that the tool (1, 2) cannot be removed through the window (8) of a closed said lid part (5). Certain regions of the tool (1, 2) accommodated by the mount (6, 7, 24) project through the window (8) of the closed lid part (5), peripheral portions of the window being in contact, or nearly in contact, with at least two positions on the tool.

  • Publication number: 20040084341
    Abstract: The invention relates to a storage device for one or more tools, in particular a screwing tool, such as a screwdriver (1) or chuck (2) with exchangeable screwdriver inserts (3), comprising a base piece (4) and a pivoting cover piece (5), connected thereto. A mounting (6, 7, 24) is provided, for the fixed housing of the tools (1, 2) in the plane of the base piece or the cover piece (5), said cover piece (5) has a window (8), similar to the outline of the tools (1, 2), the separation between the outline boundary of which is such that the tools (1, 2) cannot be taken through the window (8) of the closed cover piece (5). According to the invention, an advantageous development for the manipulation thereof may be achieved, whereby the tools (1, 2) fixed in the mounting (6, 7, 24) partly extend through the window (8) of the closed cover (5), whereby the edge of the window touches or nearly touches said tool, in at least two positions on the tool.

  • Patent number: 6643877
    Abstract: A tool set having a screwdriver handle with a chuck for insertion and latched mounting of screwing-tool inserts provided with standard polygonal shank segments, and having screwing-tool inserts, which are insertable into the chuck and are provided with the standard polygonal shank segments, in particular bits, nuts or ratchets and extensions for drive of the latter, comprising a supplementary tool which has a plier head (2) and a plier-handle projection (4) which is disposed immediately behind a knuckle joint (5) and is in form of the standard shank segment of the screwing-tool inserts, the screwdriver handle (9) latches to the plier-handle projection by its chuck (10), forming one of two plier arms and a blade extension (11) which likewise has a chuck (10), forming other of the two plier arms.

  • Patent number: 5601003
    Abstract: An injection-molded plastic handle for tools, particularly screwdrivers, having zones of plastic of different hardness, the harder plastic being nondeformable under the forces which occur as a result of the actuating load while the softer plastic permits slight elastic deformations, and having a centrally located receiving hollow space (5) for the tang of a tool blade (2), and, in order to obtain a development which is of optimized grippability and more advantageous in use, the central hollow space is located in a center part (6) having a profiled cover surface (11) around which a cover is injected, the depressions (8) resulting from the profiling of the cover surface (11) being filled with a softer plastic until obtaining an approximately circular cross-sectional shape.
