Tool positioning pad

Abstract

A tool positioning pad has a body, at least one positioning slot and two containing recesses. The body is a plastic foam block and corresponds to and is normally mounted in a tool box. The at least one positioning slot is formed in the body and each position slot has two ends and at least one non-straight section. Each non-straight section may be arced or curved and is integrally formed longitudinally in the positioning slot and has a convex inner sidewall. When a thin tool such as a spanner is placed into a positioning slot, the convex inner sidewall is deformed to press and securely hold the spanner inside the positioning slot.

1 . A tool positioning pad comprising
 a body being a plastic foam block; and   a positioning slot being formed in the body and the positioning slot having
 two ends; 
 a center line being defined as a connection line between the ends of the positioning slot; and 
 at least one non-straight section being integrally interconnected longitudinally in the positioning slot, each one of the non-straight section having
 a convex inner sidewall; and 
 a concave inner sidewall corresponding to and being parallel with the convex inner sidewall. 
 
   
   
   
       2 . The tool positioning pad as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the tool positioning pad further has two containing recesses being formed in the body and each containing recess being communicated with one of the ends of the positioning slot. 
   
   
       3 . The tool positioning pad as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the positioning slot is a straight slot and has one non-straight section centrally interconnected with the positioning slot. 
   
   
       4 . The tool positioning pad as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the positioning slot is an arced slot to form one non-straight section. 
   
   
       5 . The tool positioning pad as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the positioning slot is a wavy slot having multiple serially connected non-straight sections, each non-straight section is arced. 
   
   
       6 . The tool positioning pad as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the positioning slot is a straight slot and has one non-straight section centrally interconnected with the positioning slot. 
   
   
       7 . The tool positioning pad as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the positioning slot is an arced slot to form one non-straight section. 
   
   
       8 . The tool positioning pad as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the positioning slot is a wavy slot having multiple serially connected non-straight sections, each non-straight section is arced. 
   
   
       9 . The tool positioning pad as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein
 the tool positioning pad has multiple positioning slots being parallelly formed in the body, the two ends of each positioning slot are respectively grouped on two sides of the body; and   each containing recess is communicated with one end of each positioning slot that is formed on the same side of the body.   
   
   
       10 . The tool positioning pad as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein each positioning slot is a straight slot and has a non-straight section centrally interconnected with the positioning slot. 
   
   
       11 . The tool positioning pad as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein each positioning slot is an arced slot to form one non-straight section. 
   
   
       12 . The tool positioning pad as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein each positioning slot is a wavy slot having multiple serially connected non-straight sections, each non-straight section is arced. 
   
   
       13 . The tool positioning pad as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the convex inner sidewall of each one of the at least one non-straight section is slightly overlapped over the center line of the positioning slot. 
   
   
       14 . The tool positioning pad as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the convex inner sidewall of each one of the at least one non-straight section is just contacted with the center line. 
   
   
       15 . The tool positioning pad as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein the convex inner sidewall of each one of the at least one non-straight section of each positioning slot is slightly overlapped over the center line of the positioning slot. 
   
   
       16 . The tool positioning pad as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein the convex inner sidewall of each one of the at least one non-straight section of each positioning slot is just contacted with the center line of corresponding positioning slot.
