Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a device for collectively resting tools, and more particularly to a device capable of varying tool resting spaces.

[0002] A conventional tool kit is a substantially rectangular box body with six faces. The tool kit has several layers of drawers which are horizontally arranged from upper side to lower side. Some of the drawers define a recessed space, while some of the drawers are partitioned by slats into several small compartments for a user to place therein various kinds of tools.

[0003] With respect to both the drawers with recessed space and small compartments, after the tools are placed therein, the tools often randomly scatter around and intersect each other due to moving the entire tool kit or frequent drawing of the drawers. Therefore, a user must turn all the tools to find out a necessary tool. Moreover, after found, the user often needs to laboriously pull the intersecting tools apart.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0004] It is therefore a primary object of the present invention to provide a device capable of varying tool resting spaces. The device defines various tool resting spaces for easy collection and management of all kinds of tools or small parts.

[0005] It is a further object of the present invention to provide the above device which is able to vary tool resting spaces in accordance with the configuration of the tools.

[0006] It is still a further object of the present invention to provide the above device which provides tidy tool resting spaces to effectively utilize the tool resting spaces without wasting the spaces.

[0007] According to the above objects, the device capable of varying tool resting spaces of the present invention includes a plate body, at least one insertion key and at least one container. The plate body is formed with multiple insertion holes arranged at predetermined intervals. The insertion hole has a profile corresponding to that of the insertion key. The bottom face of the container is formed with at least one perforation having a profile corresponding to the profile of the insertion key.

[0008] The present invention can be best understood through the following description and accompanying drawings wherein:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0015] Please refer to FIGS. 1 to 3. The device capable of varying tool resting spaces according to the present invention includes a plate body 12 formed with multiple insertion holes 20 and at least one insertion key 14.

[0016] The plate body 12 has predetermined thickness and shape. A profile of the plate body 12 corresponds to a shape of an inner periphery of a drawer. The insertion holes 20 are formed on the plate body 12 at predetermined intervals.

[0017] The insertion key 14 is a shaft rod having a predetermined length. An outer circumference of a predetermined section of the insertion key 14 has a shape corresponding to a shape of an inner circumference of the insertion hole 20.

[0018] When placing various types of tools on the plate body 12, the insertion keys 14 are respectively elastically inserted in the insertion holes 20 of the plate body 12 around the tools to fix the tools with different patterns.

[0019] The device capable of varying tool resting spaces according to the present invention has the following advantages:

[0020] 1. The insertion keys 14 are variably inserted in the insertion holes 20 of the plate body 12 according to a configuration of the tools to define various tool resting spaces for easy collection and management of all kinds of tools.

[0021] 2. The present invention provides tidy tool resting spaces to effectively utilize the tool resting spaces without wasting the spaces,

[0022] Please refer to FIGS. 4 and 5. The device 1 capable of varying tool resting spaces according to the present invention further includes at least one container 16 having article resting spaces with predetermined profile, recessed shape and a bottom. The bottom of the container 16 is formed with at least one perforation at a position corresponding to the insertion hole 20. An inner circumference of the perforation has a profile corresponding to a profile of an outer circumference of the insertion key 14. By means of inserting the insertion keys 14 into the insertion holes 20 around the container 16 or inserting the insertion keys 14 through the perforations of the bottom of the container 16 into the insertion holes 20, the container 16 can be fixed on the plate body for resting various kinds of small parts or mini-tools in the container 16. Furthermore, a swingable cover body (not shown) can be pivotally disposed on an edge of a lateral face of the container 16 for preventing small parts or mini-tools from dropping out of the container 16.

[0023] FIG. 6 shows another embodiment of the present invention, in which the bottom of the container 16 is free from any perforation. Alternatively, the bottom of the container 16 is disposed with at least one downward extending leg post 60 at a position corresponding to the insertion hole 20. An outer circumference of the leg post 60 has a profile corresponding to the profile of the inner circumference of the insertion hole 20.

[0024] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention, not intended to limit the scope thereof. Many modifications of the above embodiments can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
