Abstract:
1. A sliding type tool storage structure being adapted for storing tool heads, comprising: a first storing element including an outer surface, an inner surface, a first side and a second side opposite the first side, the first side and the second side being connected between the outer surface and the inner surface, the first storing element being formed with plural spaced tool storing grooves in the outer surface thereof, the first storing element being further formed in the inner surface thereof with a first control groove, the first control groove being formed with plural through-hole displacement spaces which are located adjacent to the respective tool storing grooves, respectively, the first storing element being further provided with at least one slidable positioning element on the inner surface thereof; an open-close switching unit including plural first stopping portions on a first surface thereof and plural second stopping portions on a second surface opposite the first surface thereof, the first stopping portions and the second stopping portions extending in opposite directions, each of the first and the second stopping portions including a stopping end, each first stopping portion being inserted into a respective one of the displacement spaces of the first control groove; and a second storing element including an outer surface, an inner surface, a first side and a second side opposite the first side thereof, the second storing element being formed with plural tool storing grooves in the outer surface thereof and formed with at least one slide corresponding element on the inner surface thereof, the slidable positioning element of the first storing element being slidably connected to the slide corresponding element of the second storing element, the open-close switching unit being clamped between the first storing element and the second storing element, the first side and the second side of the first storing element being arranged adjacent the first side and the second side of the second storing element, respectively, the second storing element being formed in the inner surface thereof with a second control groove, the second control groove being formed with plural through-hole displacement spaces which are located adjacent to the respective tool storing grooves of the second storing element, the respective second stopping portions of the open-close switching unit each being inserted into a respective one of the respective displacement spaces of the second control groove, between a first side of the open-close switching unit and a second groove surface of the first control groove of the first control element adjacent to the second side of the first storing element being defined a first control clearance, between a second side of the open-close switching unit and a first groove surface of the first control groove of the second control element adjacent to the first side of the second storing element being defined a second control clearance, the first storing element being allowed to slide in a direction of the first side of the first storing element thereof through the first control clearance, the second storing element being allowed to slide in a direction of the second side of the second storing element thereof through the second control clearance, the sliding of the first storing element and the second storing element changing a relative position of the respective tool storing grooves of the first and second storing elements with respect to the respective stopping ends of the first and second storing elements so as to open/close the respective tool storing grooves of the first and second storing elements.
