Abstract
A kit for carrying hole saws has a hole saw carrier configured to releasably carry thereon a plurality of nested hole saws, and is movable between (i) a storage position and (ii) a use position for removing one or more hole saws therefrom. The carrier is axially-elongated and receivable through an arbor hole in a hole saw to releasably carry the hole saw thereon and to allow one hole saw to be nested within another thereon. The carrier is pivotally mounted and movable between the storage and use positions.
Claims22
A device for carrying hole saws comprising:
- a hole saw carrier extending in an axially-elongated direction and configured to releasably carry thereon a plurality of axially oriented nested hole saws and movable between (i) a storage position and (ii) a use position for removing one or more hole saws therefrom, and
- a first recess configured to receive at least part of the carrier and any hole saws carried thereon in the storage position, wherein the first recess defines a plurality of different width recessed portions, said width extending in a direction transverse to said axially-elongated direction of the carrier, wherein each such portion substantially corresponds to the diameter of a respective size hole saw and is adapted for receiving at least part of the hole saw of the respective size therein in the storage position.

A device for carrying hole saws comprising:
- first means for releasably carrying thereon a plurality of axially-elongated nested hole saws;
- second means for moving the first means between (i) a storage position and (ii) a use position for removing one or more hole saws therefrom, and
- third means for receiving at least part of the first means and any hole saws carried thereon in the storage position, wherein the third means defines a plurality of fourth means, each adapted for receiving at least part of a respective size hole saw therein in the storage position.
A device for carrying hole saws comprising:
- a base and a cover, wherein at least one of the base and cover is movable relative to the other between open and closed positions,
- an axially elongated hole saw carrier pivotally mounted therein configured to releasably carry thereon a plurality of axially oriented nested hole saws and pivotable between (i) a storage position retracted within the device and (ii) a use position extending from the device for removing one or more hole saws therefrom or installing one or more hole saws thereon, and a recess configured to receive at least part of the carrier and any hole saws carried thereon in the storage position, wherein the recess defines a plurality of different width recessed portions, wherein the width of each of said portions substantially corresponds to a diameter of a respective size hole saw and is adapted for receiving at least part of the hole saw of the respective size therein in the storage position.
