Abstract
Tool support devices are provided. In some embodiments, the tool support device includes a storage tray and an adjustable mounting mechanism configured to engage and support the tool support device from a wall, such as a utility bucket wall. In other embodiments, the tool support device is a corner mounted device with a plurality of openings for support tools of different sizes.
Claims19
A tool support device configured to couple to an interior corner of a mounting wall, the tool support device comprising:
- an upper wall defining an upper surface and an opposing lower surface;
- a plurality of support openings formed in the upper wall, the plurality of support openings configured to support a plurality of tools;
- a sidewall extending from the lower surface, the sidewall comprising a first portion and a second portion generally perpendicular to the first portion, the sidewall defining an outer surface and an opposing inner surface, the sidewall extending from the lower surface to a bottom surface of the sidewall;
- a first channel defined by the first portion of the sidewall, the first channel configured to receive a hook that detachably couples the sidewall and the upper wall to the mounting wall;
- a first support wall extending from the inner surface, the first support wall defining a first side of the first channel;
- a second support wall extending from the inner surface, the second support wall defining a second side of the first channel opposite the first side;
- a bridge extending between the first support wall and the second support wall, the bridge defining a recess comprising a recessed surface that is facing away from the outer surface of the first portion of the sidewall, wherein the bridge is between 40% and 60% of a distance from the upper surface of the upper wall to the bottom surface of the sidewall;
- and
- a support extending between an intersection of the first support wall and the upper wall and an intersection of the second support wall and the upper wall.
