Abstract
A tool container includes a case portion defining a storage space and a cover portion movably attached to the case portion moveable between a closed position in which the cover portion covers an opening into the storage space and an open position in which access to the storage space is permitted. The cover portion is securable in the closed position. The cover portion has an elongated level storage space for storing a level therein, and a secondary cover portion movably mounted to the cover portion for movement between a closed position wherein the secondary cover portion covers the elongated level storage space to retain the level therein and an open position wherein access to the level stored in the elongated storage space is permitted.
Claims19
A tool container comprising:
- a case portion defining a storage space,
- a one-piece cover portion being movably attached to said case portion and being pivotally moveable between a closed position in which said cover portion covers an upwardly facing opening of said storage space and an open position in which access to said storage space through said upwardly facing opening is permitted, said cover portion being securable in said closed position;
- said one-piece cover portion having an elongated level storage space integrally formed in one piece therewith for storing a level therein, and a secondary cover portion pivotably mounted to said cover portion for movement between a closed position wherein said secondary cover portion covers the elongated level storage space to retain the level therein and an open position wherein access to the level stored in said elongated storage space is permitted;
- and
- a handle connected to said cover portion to facilitate transport of the tool container, wherein said secondary cover portion further comprises level mounting structure constructed and arranged to allow the level to be removably mounted to the secondary cover portion when the secondary cover portion is in its open position so that movement of the secondary cover portion into its closed position carries the level into the level storage space and movement of the secondary cover portion from its closed position into its open position moves the level out of the level storage space to facilitate worker access to the level.
A combination tool container and level comprising:
- a case portion defining a storage space,
- a one-piece cover portion being movably attached to said case portion and being pivotally moveable between a closed position in which said cover portion covers an upwardly facing opening of the storage space and an open position in which access to the storage space through said upwardly facing opening is permitted, said cover portion being securable in said closed position;
- said one-piece cover portion having an elongated level storage space integrally formed in one piece therewith;
- a level disposed in the elongated level storage space in said cover portion, and a secondary cover portion pivotably mounted to said cover portion for movement between a closed position wherein said secondary cover portion covers the elongated level storage space to retain the level therein and an open position wherein access to the level stored in said elongated storage space is permitted;
- and
- a handle connected to said cover portion to facilitate transport of the tool container.
