Abstract

A hand tool case holding device including at least one holding device, which is provided for the purpose of detachably holding a hand tool case in a case accommodating area. It is provided that the hand tool case holding device has at least one charging coil and a bearing arrangement, which is provided for the purpose of movably supporting the charging coil and the holding device in relation to one another.

Claims

1. A hand tool case holding device, comprising:

at least one holding device for detachably holding a hand tool case in a case accommodating area;

at least one charging coil; and

a bearing arrangement for movably supporting the charging coil and the holding device in relation to one another,

wherein the bearing arrangement is configured for movably supporting the charging coil in the direction of the case accommodating area by pressing the charging coil in the direction of the case accommodating area.

2. The hand tool case holding device of claim 1, further comprising:

at least one force element for causing a force, which presses at least the charging coil in the direction of the case accommodating area.

3. The hand tool case holding device of claim 2, wherein the force element and the bearing arrangement are implemented in one piece.

4. The hand tool case holding device of claim 2, wherein the force element and the bearing arrangement are implemented separately.

5. The hand tool case holding device of claim 1, wherein the holding device has at least one holding arrangement for latching the hand tool case.

6. The hand tool case holding device of claim 1, wherein the charging coil is configured for transferring energy to a charging coil situated in the case accommodating area.

7. The hand tool case holding device of claim 1, further comprising:

a holding device housing implemented in one piece with the bearing arrangement.

8. The hand tool case holding device of claim 1, further comprising:

a holding device housing implemented separately from the bearing arrangement.

9. The hand tool case holding device of claim 2, wherein the force element movably supports at least one area of the holding device housing.

10. A hand tool case holding device, comprising:

at least one holding device for detachably holding a hand tool case in a case accommodating area;

at least one charging coil;

a bearing arrangement for movably supporting the charging coil and the holding device in relation to one another; and

at least one force element for causing a force, which presses at least the charging coil in the direction of the case accommodating area,

wherein the force element is situated action-oriented between the holding device housing and the charging coil.

11. A system, comprising:

a hand tool case holding device, including at least one holding device for detachably holding a hand tool case in a case accommodating area, at least one charging coil, and a bearing arrangement for movably supporting the charging coil and the holding device in relation to one another; and

the hand tool case, which has at least one holding device corresponding to the holding device of the hand tool case holding device,

wherein the bearing arrangement is configured for movably supporting the charging coil in the direction of the case accommodating area by pressing the charging coil in the direction of the case accommodating area.
