Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0362124A1] The tool holding system consists of tool carriers (1) which each have a lateral recess (13) into which a connecting element (17) can be inserted by means of which a further tool carrier (1) can be fastened. The aligned tool carriers (1) are connected by the connecting elements (17) in such a way that they can be carried as a complete system and/or be hung in a tool cabinet (47) without a further transport element being necessary for this purpose. <IMAGE>
