Abstract
This case (10) for a set of tools provided with a handle comprises a first holder (17) and a second holder (18) which are hinged together by a hinge (19) between a first position and a second position, and the holders (17, 18) comprise two partitions (24) which are substantially parallel to one another and which define a channel (22) intended to receive and retain the handle of a tool, each housing comprising two partitions (24, 124) substantially parallel to one another defining a channel (22, 122) intended to receive and retain the handle (16) of a tool. Each channel has a slightly greater width than the smallest dimension of the handle (16) of the associated tool, the handle being arranged substantially vertically in each channel. Application to the storage of a set of open-ended spanners or ring spanners.

14. Case for a set of tools, in particular for open-end spanners or ring spanners, each tool comprising at least one working head and a flat handle, the case comprising:
-
a first support and a second support which are articulated with one another by way of an articulation between a first, storage and transport position and a second, tool access position, each of the first and second supports comprising; a base of generally substantially planar form; a plurality of receivers, parallel to one another, each plurality of receivers being integral with the base of the corresponding support, each receiver comprising two partitions which are substantially parallel to one another and delimit a channel for receiving and retaining the handle of a corresponding tool of the set in a given position in the first support or in the second support;
wherein the width of each channel is slightly greater than the smallest dimension of the handle of the associated tool so that, in each channel, the tool handle is disposed substantially vertically, and each support comprises a plurality of receiving and retaining means for the working head of the tool, each receiving and retaining means being associated with a receiver and being intended to receive and retain the working head of the corresponding tool in a given position in the support, the plurality of receiving and retaining means being integral with the base;
wherein, in the first, storage and transport position, the supports are folded on one another, the bases being disposed externally and opposed to each other and the channels of the receivers being superposed facing one another; and
wherein each support is a part moulded from plastics material. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)

26. Tool set comprising a set of tools, in particular open-end spanners or ring spanners, each tool comprising at least one working head and a flat handle, the set of tools being arranged in a case, the case comprising:
-
a first support and a second support which are articulated with one another by way of an articulation between a first, storage and transport position and a second, tool access position, each of the first and second supports comprising; a base of generally substantially planar form; a plurality of receivers, parallel to one another, each plurality of receivers being integral with the base of the corresponding support, each receiver comprising two partitions which are substantially parallel to one another and delimit a channel for receiving and retaining the handle of a corresponding tool of the set in a given position in the first support or in the second support;
wherein the width of each channel is slightly greater than the smallest dimension of the handle of the associated tool so that, in each channel, the tool handle is disposed substantially vertically, and each support comprises a plurality of receiving and retaining means for the working head of the tool, each receiving and retaining means being associated with a receiver and being intended to receive and retain the working head of the corresponding tool in a given position in the support, the plurality of receiving and retaining means being integral with the base;
wherein, in the first, storage and transport position, the supports are folded on one another, the bases being disposed externally and opposed to each other and the channels of the receivers being superposed facing one another; and
wherein each support is a part moulded from plastics material,wherein, when the case is in the second position, the free ends of the tools substantially define, for each support, a sloping line, the two lines being offset relative to one another in the longitudinal direction of the tools.
