Abstract

A system having a hand tool case which includes at least one inductive charge receiving area, and at least one hand tool battery which is provided for being inductively charged. The inductive charge receiving area is provided for storing the hand tool battery at least partially in close proximity to at least one wall of the hand tool case.

Claims

1-10. -10. (canceled)

11. A system, comprising:

a hand tool case which includes at least one inductive charge receiving area and at least one hand tool battery which is inductively chargeable;

wherein the inductive charge receiving area is for storing the hand tool battery at least partially in close proximity to at least one wall of the hand tool case.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein the inductive charge receiving area is for storing the hand tool battery over a large area on the at least one wall of the hand tool case.

13. The system of claim 11, wherein the hand tool battery has at least one charging coil which, at least in an accommodated state of the hand tool battery in the inductive charge receiving area, is situated at least essentially in parallel to the wall of the hand tool case.

14. The system of claim 11, wherein the hand tool battery has at least one charging coil which is situated on a bottom side of the hand tool battery.

15. The system of claim 11, wherein the hand tool battery has at least one charging coil which is situated on an outer side of the hand tool battery.

16. The system of claim 11, wherein the at least one wall forms a bottom side of the hand tool case.

17. The system of claim 11, wherein the at least one wall forms an outer side of the hand tool case.

18. The system of claim 17, wherein the outer side of the hand tool case forms a rear side of the hand tool case.

19. A hand tool case of a system, comprising:

a hand tool case arrangement which includes at least one inductive charge receiving area for receiving at least one hand tool battery which is inductively chargeable, the system including the hand tool case arrangement and the at least one hand tool battery;

wherein the inductive charge receiving area is for storing the hand tool battery at least partially in close proximity to at least one wall of the hand tool case arrangement.

20. A hand tool battery of a system, comprising:

at least one hand tool battery which is inductively chargeable for a hand tool case which includes at least one inductive charge receiving area, which is for receiving the at least one hand tool battery, the system including the hand tool case and the at least one hand tool battery;

wherein the inductive charge receiving area is for storing the hand tool battery at least partially in close proximity to at least one wall of the hand tool case.
