Abstract

A tool case includes a case and a cover. A first rib projects from an inner face of a first side of the case, and a second rib projects from an inner face of a second side of the case. The cover includes an end pivotally connected to a lateral side of the case. The cover further includes a first holding area and a second holding area. The first holding area includes at least one pair of resilient holding plates for securely holding a tool. Sleeves are integrally and consecutively formed on the inner side of the second holding area. Each sleeve includes a receiving holes for receiving at least one bit. The bits received in the receiving sleeves respectively abut against the first rib and the second rib to prevent falling of the bits.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A tool case comprising: 
 a case including a compartment delimited by a first side, a second side opposite to the first side, and a first lateral side, a first rib projecting from an inner face of the first side, a second rib projecting from an inner face of the second side; and    a cover including an end pivotally connected to the first lateral side of the case, the cover being pivotable between an open position and a closed position, the cover including an inner side that has a first holding area and a second holding area;    the first holding area including at least one pair of resilient holding plates for securely holding a tool;    a plurality of sleeves being integrally and consecutively formed on the inner side of the second holding area, each said sleeve including a receiving holes for receiving at least one bit, the bits received in the receiving sleeves respectively abutting against the first rib and the second rib to prevent falling of the bits.    
   
   
       2 . The tool case as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the case further includes a second lateral side opposite to the first lateral side and a bottom side, the compartment being further delimited by the second lateral side and the bottom side.  
   
   
       3 . The tool case as claimed in  claim 2 , further including a resilient clip having an end fixed to an outer face of the bottom side of the case.  
   
   
       4 . The tool case as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the end of the cover is integrally formed with the first lateral side of the case while allowing the cover to pivot relative to the case.  
   
   
       5 . The tool case as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the end of the cover is integrally formed with the first lateral side of the case while allowing the cover to pivot relative to the case.  
   
   
       6 . The tool case as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first tool-holding area includes at least two pairs of said resilient holding plates, defining at least two aligned tool-holding sections.  
   
   
       7 . The tool case as claimed in  claim 6 , further including a restraining plate aligned with the tool-holding sections, the restraining plate including a notch.  
   
   
       8 . The tool case as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the cover includes a grip on an end face thereof, the second lateral side of the case including a recessed portion for receiving the grip.  
   
   
       9 . The tool case as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the cover includes at least one engaging member, the second lateral side of the case including at least one engaging hole for releasably engaging with said at least one engaging member.  
   
   
       10 . The tool case as claimed in  claim 1 , further including a partitioning plate mounted on the inner face of the second tool-holding member for separating each said receiving groove into two sections each for receiving a bit therein.  
   
   
       11 . The tool case as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein each said sleeve includes a longitudinal slit to allow slight deformation.
