- A hand tool box having a permanently installed construction site radio is discussed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,810,168.
- A system having at least a hand tool box, a hand tool fastening arrangement, and a construction site radio configured to be removable from the hand tool box is proposed, the hand tool fastening arrangement and the construction site radio being configured to be jointly transportable in a receptacle space of the hand tool box. A “hand tool box” is to be understood in particular as a box which is provided for the purpose of accommodating at least one hand tool and/or one hand tool battery. The hand tool box may have at least one main body and a box lid. A “hand tool fastening arrangement” (“means”) is to be understood in particular as a structure which is provided for the purpose of fastening the hand tool and/or the hand tool battery in a form-fit and/or friction-locked manner in at least one operating state, in particular together with the box lid of the hand tool box. The hand tool fastening arrangement may delimit a hand tool receptacle area and/or a hand tool battery receptacle area, in particular on more than one side with a shape of the hand tool and/or the hand tool battery. The hand tool fastening arrangement may remain in the receptacle space of the hand tool box when the hand tool and/or the hand tool battery is/are removed. The hand tool fastening arrangement may be placed unfastened into the hand tool box in particular. Alternatively, the hand tool fastening arrangement could be mechanically connected to the hand tool box and/or configured at least partially in one piece with the hand tool box. A “construction site radio” is to be understood in particular as a radio which is provided for use on a construction site. The construction site radio may be provided for the purpose of surviving a fall from at least 1 m high without functional restrictions resulting therefrom. The construction site radio is advantageously protected against environmental influences at least according to protection class IP53. In particular, the term “configured to be removable” is to be understood to mean that the construction site radio may be removed without tools and nondestructively from the hand tool box.
- The construction site radio may be removable from the hand tool box with few manipulations. In particular, the construction site radio is configured to be usable separately from the hand tool box. A “receptacle space” is to be understood in particular as a space which encloses the hand tool box when the box lid is closed. In particular, the term “jointly transportable in a receptacle space” is to be understood to mean that the hand tool fastening arrangement and the construction site radio have a size and a shape by which the hand tool fastening arrangement and the construction site radio fit together in the receptacle space when the box lid is closed. Through the embodiment according to the present invention of the system, the construction site radio and a hand tool fastened by the hand tool fastening arrangement may advantageously be transported protected in the same hand tool box.
- In a further embodiment, it is proposed that the construction site radio occupies less than two-thirds of the receptacle space, whereby plenty of space advantageously remains for a hand tool fastened by the hand tool fastening arrangement. In particular, “occupying less than two-thirds of the receptacle space” in this context is to be understood to mean that the construction site radio fills up less than 66% of a volume of the receptacle space. The construction site radio may occupy less than one-half of the receptacle space.
- Furthermore, it is proposed that the construction site radio has an outside extension parallel to a main extension plane of the construction site radio of less than 250 mm, advantageously less than 220 mm, particularly advantageously less than 200 mm, whereby a particularly large amount of space may be achieved for a hand tool fastened by the hand tool fastening arrangement. An “outside extension” is to be understood in particular as a minimum distance between two planes aligned in parallel to one another, neither of which intersect the construction site radio, the construction site radio being arranged between the planes. In particular, a “main extension plane” is to be understood as a plane which has a maximum area of intersection with a volume delimited by the construction site radio.
- Furthermore, it is proposed that the construction site radio and the hand tool fastening arrangement fill up the receptacle space essentially in a form-fit manner, whereby the receptacle space is advantageously utilized and a structurally complex fastening of the construction site radio may be omitted. The term “filling up essentially in a formfitting manner” is to be understood in particular to mean that the construction site radio and the hand tool fastening arrangement jointly have a shape which, when the box lid is closed, at least essentially prevents a movement of the construction site radio and the hand tool fastening arrangement relative to a main body of the hand tool box. The form fit may be subject to play, to ensure simple removal and replacement. In particular, “at least essentially” is to be understood in this context to mean that the construction site radio and the hand tool fastening arrangement may move less than 3 cm, advantageously less than 1 cm, particularly advantageously less than 0.5 cm in relation to the main body of the hand tool box.

A “handle arrangement” (“means”) is to be understood in particular as a structure which is provided for the purpose of being at least partially covered by a hand when carrying the construction site radio. The handle arrangement advantageously has a rod-shaped handle area. The construction site radio may have a radio housing which encloses an interior space, in which at least one electronics element of the construction site radio is situated. The handle arrangement and the radio housing may have different materials. The handle arrangement may be made of a viscoelastic, elastic, or rubber-like material which appears meaningful to those skilled in the art, but may be made of polypropylene, thermoplastic elastomer, ethylene-propylene-diene rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber, and/or nitrile rubber. The radio housing is advantageously made of a material which appears meaningful to those skilled in the art, but particularly advantageously made of polyamide, high-impact polystyrene, polycarbonate, and/or advantageously of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene. In particular, the term “supporting a weight on a plane in an orientation” is to be understood to mean that only the handle arrangement touches the plane when the construction site radio rests on the plane. An area spanned by the handle arrangement may enclose the entire construction site radio.
- Furthermore, it is proposed that the handle arrangement be configured in one piece, whereby particularly simple installation is possible. “One piece” is to be understood in particular as integrally joined, for example, by a welding process and/or gluing process, etc., and particularly advantageously molded on, as by the monolithic production and/or by the production in a single component or multicomponent injection molding method.
- Furthermore, it is proposed that the handle arrangement be formed at least partially from a rubber-like material, whereby damage to the handle arrangement by mechanical action may be avoided.

In particular, “accommodating” is to be understood to mean that the power supply unit may be situated completely in the power supply unit receptacle space in at least one operating state, advantageously during transport.
- Furthermore, it is proposed that the power supply unit has a shield, which is provided for the purpose of minimizing an emission of electromagnetic waves at least in a radio frequency range, whereby an advantageous low-interference radio reception is possible.
