Tool case with multiple storage compartments

Abstract

The tool case provides storage compartments which may be used by the purchaser to store additional items which might be employed in conjunction with the tools stored in the tool case. The underside of the box portion of the tool case is recessed and a number of containers are pivotably mounted within the recess to provide the user with multiple storage compartments. The containers are all connected to a gang bar to allow them to pivot in unison from a closed position to an open position. When the containers are in the closed position, their outer faces form a single plane which is flush with and parallel to the bottom of the box portion, allowing the user to place rest the bottom of the case securely on a work table or other flat surface. When the containers are in an open position, the outer face of each container projects outwardly exposing the opening and thus allowing the user to place items into or remove items from the containers.
