Abstract
The truss-supported tool transport apparatus is comprised of a truss-supported tool box and an adapter. The truss-supported tool box has cleat extending from the bottom that are configured to fit over trusses in an attic. The truss-supported tool box includes fasteners on the surface that hold tools securely and compactly which is ideal for working in confined spaces. The truss-supported tool box can be mated with the adapter for working in confined spaces other than attics.
Claims12
A truss-supported tool transport comprising:
- a tool box;
- two cleats, each cleat extending downward from a bottom of the tool box;
- and
- an adapter, the adapter comprising:
- an underside with rounded edges, and
- a top with two recesses into which the two cleats of the tool box fit to join the tool box with the adapter;
- whereby the bottom with rounded edges of the adapter reduces the resistance of the tool box when being dragged across a rough surface;
- and
- whereby when the tool box is used in an attic, each cleat extends down into a space that exists between two trusses.
A tool transport for use atop attic trusses, the tool transport comprising:
- a tool box having a length and a width;
- two cleats, the two cleats:
- formed by downward extensions on a bottom of the tool box, and
- oriented perpendicular to the length of the tool box;
- an adapter having:
- an underside with rounded edges, and
- a top with two penetrations;
- whereby the two penetrations mate with the two cleats thereby joining the tool box with the adapter for use on rough surfaces;
- and
- whereby when the tool box is placed lengthwise across the attic trusses, the two cleats straddle the attic trusses, thereby preventing lateral movement.
A truss-supported tool transport for use in an attic or a crawl space, the truss-supported tool transport comprising:
- a tool box, the tool box having two or more protrusions extending down from a bottom of the tool box;
- an adapter, the adapter having:
- an underside with rounded edges, and
- a top including two or more penetrations;
- whereby the two or more protrusions are configured to secure the tool box when resting atop trusses in an attic;
- and
- whereby each of the two or more protrusions mates with one of the two or more penetrations converting the truss-supported tool transport for use in a crawl space.
