Abstract

Disclosed is a holder for hexagonal wrenches which can compactly house a plurality of hexagonal wrenches therein and also be used as a grip for hexagonal wrenches. Around the outer peripheral surface of the holder body 1 is formed a corrugated portion 4 to provide a gripping portion 5. Said holder body 1 is formed with fitting holes 6, corresponding to each size of hexagonal wrenches 2. Then, into the fitting holes 6 are inserted the shafts 2A of the hexagonal wrenches 2 in order to incorporate the hexagonal wrenches 2 in the holder body 1. According to the structure of the invention, a plurality of hexagonal wrenches 2 of different sizes can be compactly housed in the holder body 1. Further, the hexagonal wrenches 2 are nearly integrated with the holder body 1, which are able to be utilized as a grip for hexagonal wrenches 2.

Claims

1. A holder for a plurality of hexagonal wrenches (2) of different sizes comprising:

a holder body (1) having a gripping portion (5) around the peripheral surface thereof;

a plurality of fitting holes (6) provided along the longitudinal length of said holder body (1), corresponding to each diameter of said hexagonal wrenches (2), said each hexagonal wrench (2) being fitted into said each fitting hole (6) corresponding thereto, wherein said holder body (1) is formed with helically-sloped portions (3) at both ends thereof, said helically-sloped portions (3) being formed symmetrical to each other.

2. A holder for a plurality of hexagonal wrenches of different sizes according to claim 1, wherein said holder body (1) are formed with a corrugated portion (4) along its longitudinal length around the outer peripheral surface thereof.

3. A holder for a plurality of hexagonal wrenches of different sizes according to claim 1, wherein said fitting holes (6) are formed in approximately the same circular arc, said each fitting hole (6) being spaced by a predetermined distance.

4. A holder for a plurality of hexagonal wrenches of different sizes according to claim 1, which is characterized in that:

said holder body (1) is capable of being used both as a holder and a grip.
