Support for a Series of Offset Socket Keys, and Case for Offset Keys Comprising at Least Two Corresponding Hinged Supports
First Claim
9. A case for a series of offset socket keys whose dimensions increase from one key to the next, each key comprising a first arm and a second arm extending in a key plane, the case comprising:
- a body having at least two shells which are hinged together and which, in a storage and transport position, face each other and means for retaining the series of keys relative to the body which are suitable for each receiving one of the first arm and second arm of a key, the keys being offset vertically relative to each other,wherein each shell extends in a general plane and is provided with a series of openings which have increasing diameters and which are suitable for each receiving the other of the first arm and second arm of a key; and
wherein the means for retaining further includes a retention unit which is laterally offset relative to the general plane of the body and which is arranged sloping relative to the body in order to retain the vertically offset keys in the storage and transport position, in parallel planes which deviate angularly from the general plane of the body.

Abstract
The support for offset socket keys, each key comprising a first arm and a second arm which extend in a plane Q, comprises a body which is provided with a series of openings which extend in a plane P and a retention unit for retaining the series of keys relative to the body (4), the keys being offset vertically relative to each other. The retention unit is laterally offset relative to the plane P and is arranged sloping relative to the body in order to retain the vertically offset keys in the storage and transport position, in parallel planes Q which deviate angularly from the plane P.
