Abstract: A box for the storage and display of elongated objects has a base part and a cover part that is recessed in the base part. More particularly the base part has a floor having a pair of parallel side edges and an end edge bridging the side edges, respective side walls projecting upward from the side edges and in turn having upper edges, and an outer end wall bridging the side walls and projecting upward from the end edge. The cover part has a face plate, is hinged on the base part, and is pivotal thereon between an open position projecting upward from the base part and a closed position with the face plate lying wholly within the base part below the upper edges of the side walls. In addition the cover part is formed with a laterally projecting grip tab coplanar with the face plate. A frangible latch element connected between the cover and base parts in the closed position of the cover part retains same therein so that the cover part can only be moved into the open position after breaking of the latch element.

Abstract: A tool-parts storage box has a base having a floor, generally parallel front and back walls projecting upward from the floor, and generally parallel side walls bridging the front and back walls. A cover can pivot on the base about a cover axis between a closed position overlying the walls and an open position projecting upward from the cover axis. An insert provided with holders for some of the parts can pivot on the side walls about an insert axis generally parallel to but offset from the cover axis and pivotal between a down position nestled in the base and an up position standing up above the base. A link connected between the cover and the insert pivots the insert from the down position into the up position on pivoting of the cover from the closed to the open position. A tray provided with holders for others of the parts is pivoted on the insert about a tray axis generally parallel to and offset from the cover and insert axes. The insert axis lies between the tray and cover axes.

Abstract: A storage case for elongated objects has a generally flat base part formed with an array of parallel and longitudinally extending grooves separated by longitudinally extending ridges. The grooves all are open longitudinally at one end and closed longitudinally at the opposite end. Thus the objects can be held in the grooves. A generally flat cover part engaged over the base part covers the grooves. The cover part has one transversely extending edge lip overreaching the open ends of the grooves and formed with a longitudinally throughgoing aperture of generally the same transverse width as the grooves and this cover part is slidable transversely along the base part for alignment of the aperture with the open end of each of the grooves. One of the parts is formed with a transversely extending notch formation open toward the other part and the other part is formed with a transversely extending rib formation generally complementary to and fitting into the notch formation.

Abstract: A storage/display box for elongated objects has a body having a pair of generally parallel side walls spaced apart along an axis, a cover pivoted on the body and engageable therewith to close same, and an insert engageable within the body and beneath the cover. This insert is connected to the cover for pivoting therewith and is adapted to hold the objects. A respective body tab projects from each of the side walls generally at the axis and is formed with an inner part of part-cylindrical shape, centered on the axis and having an inner end connected to the respective side wall and an outer end and an outer part projecting generally perpendicular to and crossing the axis. The inner part forms between its ends a part-cylindrical seat. A respective insert tab formed on the insert adjacent each side wall at the axis has a part-cylindrical outer edge complementary to and fitting within the inner part of the respective body tab. A pivot axle passes through each body tab and the respective insert tab at the axis.

Abstract: A grip for a container such as a tool box is provided by a strap having longitudinal slots at its end region by passing these end regions through guide strips formed unitary in the wall of the container so that projecting tongues formed unitary therein engage in the slots. This allows mounting without tools or damage to the housing in a simple manner.

Abstract: A storage container for elongated tools, particularly for tools with four-sided shanks such as tap drills and screw extractors, having a cylindrical container body with parallel circularly-arranged receptacles for tools, a rotatable cap closing the receptacles with a tool-removal aperture in the cap, the cap being rotatable so as to place the tool removal aperture in juxtaposition to the desired tool receptacle. The container body bears a tool shank clamping assembly having a movable clamping jaw positioned by a cam defined by a hole of specific shape in a cam disk, such that the clamping assembly is adjusted to have a cross-section corresponding to the shank of the desired tool.

Abstract: The case for storing objects, particularly a plurality of tools such as spiral drills, tap drills and the like, comprises a base piece, a cover piece connected pivotally with it and a receptacle portion for the objects. The base piece and the cover piece are each provided with an opening forming a handle portion adjacent an egde of the case opposite a common pivot joint connecting the base piece and the cover piece. The handle portion includes a handle frame member on the base piece which is provided with a substantially U-shape transverse cross sectioned receiving groove open toward the cover piece and a handle strip in the cover piece covering the receiving groove when the case is closed.
