Abstract
A tool or wrench holder and organizer has a unitary segmented mandrel which is engageable by open ends of wrenches to guide the wrenches to a location adjacent to the respective divided storage space which holds the wrenches in place. A holder for closed end tools provides gauging slots adjacent to divided storage for sizing tools to determine the correct storage spaces.
Claims22
A tool storage tray, comprising
- tool divider means forming substantially parallel tool divided storage resting spaces on a surface of the tray, and
- open-end-tool engageable mandrel means disposed along one side of the tray transversely to the storage resting spaces,
- the mandrel means being segmented into a specific graduated widths for each adjacent storage resting space for accommodating respectively sized open ends of tools to be stored.
A tool storage tray, comprising:
- surface compartments disposed in parallel to one side of the tray;
- a unitary mandrel means disposed along an adjacent side of the tray;
- and
- cover means disposed along a side of the tray opposite to the mandrel means side of the tray;
- the mandrel means being segmented alone its longitudinal axis into graduated width sizes corresponding to respective adjacent storage compartments whereby an open-ended tool may be slidably engaged on successive mandrel means sections until a matching fit is encountered, whereupon the tool is pivoted about the mandrel means and put into rest position with the opposite end of the tool being contained by the covering means.
A tool storage tray, comprising tool divider means forming substantially parallel tool divider storage resting spaces on a surface of the tray, and
- closed-end-tool engaging trough means disposed along one side of the tray transversely to the storage resting spaces,
- the trough means being unitary and sequentially segmented into specific graduated diameter widths each adjacent a respective said storage resting space for a closed-end tool.
A tray for storing variously sized tools in predetermined resting spaces, comprising:
- tool divider means forming a plurality of substantially parallel resting spaces on a surface of the tray, and
- successively longitudinally graduated tool-end engaging means disposed transversely to the resting spaces for gauging tool size and securing tools resting on their longitudinal edges in adjacent resting spaces.
