The present invention discloses a tool organization device for receiving an insert clip. The insert clip includes a post with a laterally formed protrusion. The tool organization device includes a plate-shaped main body with an upper side and a lower side. The distance between the upper side and the lower side is defined as a first length, while the axial length of the post is defined as a second length. The first length is at least equal to the second length. The main body contains multiple mounting holes that allow the post to be inserted from top to bottom. The main body forms multiple retention elements, each of which is positioned at the corresponding mounting hole. Each retention element acts as a stop for the protrusion as it enters each mounting hole, thereby limiting the movement of the insert clip.
1 . A tool organization device, used for receiving an insert clip, the insert clip comprising a disc-shaped flange, a post, and a tool holder, wherein the disc-shaped flange connects an upper end of the post and a lower end of the tool holder, the post having a lateral protrusion, a top end of the protrusion positioned between the two ends of the post, and the tool holder is used to position a tool;
wherein the tool organization device comprises:
a plate-shaped main body with an upper side and a lower side, the upper side and the lower side are opposite each other along a thickness direction of the main body, the main body comprising multiple mounting holes extending through its thickness, each mounting hole extending to both the upper side and the lower side, allowing the post of the insert clip to be inserted from top to bottom, a distance between the upper side and the lower side for each mounting hole defined as a first length, while an axial length of the post is defined as a second length, the first length being at least equal to the second length, a centerline of each mounting hole extending along the first length at a center of the mounting hole, the main body comprising multiple hole walls, at least every three hole walls arranged adjacent to each other to form one of the multiple mounting holes therebetween, a width of each hole wall being uniform, and an angle between any two adjacent hole walls also being equal;
the main body further comprises multiple retention elements, each of which is positioned in a corresponding mounting hole, each retention element is attached to a hole wall and extends from the hole wall toward the centerline of the mounting hole, wherein a distance from the hole wall to the centerline is greater than a distance from the retention element to the centerline, each retention element having a support surface at its bottom, a distance between each support surface and the upper side is defined as a first distance, a distance between the protrusion of the insert clip and the disc-shaped flange of the insert clip is defined as a second distance, the first distance is at most equal to the second distance, each retention element configured as a stop for the protrusion as the protrusion exits each mounting hole, thereby limiting movement of the insert clip;
wherein for each mounting hole, at a first rotational position the protrusion can move past the retention element when being inserted into the mounting hole, and at a second rotational position the protrusion is positioned under the support surface of the retention element to prevent removal of the insert clip from the mounting hole.
2 . The tool organization device according to claim 1 , wherein the main body comprises at least one retention element for each mounting hole.
3 . The tool organization device according to claim 2 , wherein the retention element for each mounting hole is ring-shaped, and each retention element forms a ring-shaped support surface connecting to each hole wall along a radial perimeter of the mounting hole.
4 . The tool organization device according to claim 3 , wherein each retention element forms a ring-shaped guiding surface, the guiding surface is connected to a side of the support surface opposite the hole wall and extends toward the upper side.
5 . The tool organization device according to claim 3 , wherein a shortest distance between radially opposite sides of an inner edge of each ring-shaped retention element is defined as a third distance, a radial width of the post is defined as a second width, and the third distance is compatible with the second width.
