Abstract

A hand tool case holding device including a holding device housing, a case accommodating area, and a charging coil, which is provided for the purpose of transferring energy into a hand tool case situated in the case accommodating area. It is provided that the hand tool case holding device includes a holding device, which is provided for the purpose of detachably fixing at least the holding device housing independently of the hand tool case.

Claims

1. A hand tool case holding device, comprising:

a holding device housing;

a case accommodating area, wherein the case accommodating area includes a surface in which a hand tool case is configured to be situated upon,

a charging coil for transferring energy into a hand tool case situated in the case accommodating area;

a holding device for mechanically and detachably fixing at least the holding device housing to a surface of an object independently of the hand tool case; and

a further holding device for detachably fixing the hand tool case in the case accommodating area,

wherein the further holding device has two holding arrangements situated on two opposing sides of, and external to, the case accommodating area,

wherein the holding device and the further holding device are situated on opposite sides of a plane parallel to a longitudinal axis of the holding device housing.

2. The hand tool case holding device of claim 1, wherein the holding device and the further holding device are implemented as corresponding to one another.

3. The hand tool case holding device of claim 1, wherein at least one of the holding device and further holding device is implemented as detachable without tools.

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

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

a charging electronic system for at least controlling a charging operation.

6. The hand tool case holding device of claim 1, wherein a main extension of the holding device housing is aligned essentially perpendicularly to an action direction of the charging coil.

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

a cooling device for at least partially compensating for waste heat arising during a charging operation.

8. A system, comprising:

a hand tool case holding device, including a holding device housing, a case accommodating area, wherein the case accommodating area includes a surface in which a hand tool case is configured to be situated upon, a charging coil for transferring energy into the hand tool case situated in the case accommodating area, and a holding device for mechanically and detachably fixing at least the holding device housing to a surface of an object independently of the hand tool case;

the hand tool case having at least one further holding device corresponding to the holding device of the hand tool case holding device,

wherein the at least one further holding device is configured to detachably fix the hand tool case in the case accommodating area,

wherein the at least one further holding device has two holding arrangements situated on two opposing sides of, and external to, the case accommodating area,

wherein the holding device and the further holding device are situated on opposite sides of a plane parallel to a longitudinal axis of the holding device housing.

9. A hand tool case holding device, comprising:

a holding device housing;

a case accommodating area, wherein the case accommodating area includes a surface in which a hand tool case is configured to be situated upon;

a charging coil for transferring energy into a hand tool case situated in the case accommodating area;

a holding device for mechanically and detachably fixing at least the holding device housing to a surface of an object independently of the hand tool case; and

a further holding device for detachably fixing the hand tool case in the case accommodating area,

wherein the holding device and the further holding device are implemented as corresponding to one another,

wherein the holding device and the further holding device are situated on opposite sides of a plane parallel to a longitudinal axis of the holding device housing.

10. The hand tool case holding device of claim 9, wherein at least one of the holding device and the further holding device is implemented as detachable without tools.

11. The hand tool case holding device of claim 9, wherein at least the further holding device has at least one holding arrangement for latching the hand tool case.

12. The hand tool case holding device of claim 9, wherein the further holding device has two holding arrangements situated on two opposing sides of the case accommodating area.

13. The hand tool case holding device of claim 9, further comprising:

a charging electronic system for at least controlling a charging operation.

14. The hand tool case holding device of claim 9, wherein a main extension of the holding device housing is aligned essentially perpendicularly to an action direction of the charging coil.

15. The hand tool case holding device of claim 9, further comprising:

a cooling device for at least partially compensating for waste heat arising during a charging operation.
