System for holding tools in a position facilitating storage

Abstract

A tool cart has two tool holding systems mounted above one another such that each tool is held in two distinct places. Each tool system has a throat with a bottom for holding the shaft of a tool by an elastic device and a structure for leading the shaft into the throat while passing on the side of the elastic device where the throat is situated. The interior contour of the throat and structure for leading the shaft into the throat are covered on by an element forming an adherence zone that brakes the tool shaft vertical movement.
