Abstract
A portable backpack workstation for holding tools and the like. The backpack includes a self-supporting rigid frame and a shell defining a body having a top, a bottom, a back and left and right wing panels.

Description
- This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application. No. 60/821,068 filed Aug. 1, 2006 entitled “Backpack Toolbox” which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
- Professional mechanics and technicians, whether working on automobiles, bicycles, motorcycles or airplanes, or the like, recognize and appreciate the advantages of a well organized workstation for easy identification, selection and access to the proper tools needed for a particular job. The need for organization and visible display of the tools for recognition and easy access is particularly important in racing environments or other time dependent competitions.
- In shops, garages or other permanent work areas of professional mechanics and technicians, the work station generally includes a work bench and one or more walls on which the tools are placed and hung in an organized manner. Arranging the tools in such a manner lets the mechanic quickly and easily survey the tools to identify the desired tool. Additionally, hanging the tools in such a manner allows the mechanic to know if a tool is missing or in use by another mechanic in the shop. However, if the mechanic is required to leave the shop, garage or work area in order to work at a remote location, the required tools are generally placed in a conventional tool box with the tools stacked and laid on top of one another. While some tool boxes may provide some means of organization, such as tool trays or the like, the tools are still generally arranged in a haphazard manner within the respective trays. Thus, when a desired tool is needed, the mechanic is required to remove the trays from the toolbox and wade through the pile of tools in each tray until the desired tool is found, often resulting in delay and frustration.
- Accordingly, there is a need for a portable workstation that affords the mechanic nearly the same efficiency and organization he/she has in a professional workshop by permitting the tools to be organized and displayed for easy recognition and access.
- In addition to the foregoing advantages, it would also be desirable if the workstation could be carried by the mechanic on his/her back thereby permitting the mechanic to have his/her hands free for carrying other tools or items.

FIG. 1 , afront strap 40 secures thetop 14 of thebody 12 to thebottom 16. As with the other straps, thefront strap 40 preferably includes a quick release dip andslide adjuster 36. - As best illustrated in
FIG. 3 , thepack 10 opens into a self-supporting open usable position such that it can be placed on the ground or other support surface 41. In the open usable position, thebody 12 unfolds to form aleft wing panel 42 and aright wing panel 44 extending from respective left and right sides of theback panel 46. Projecting forwardly from thebottom 16 of thebody 12 is abottom tray 48. Disposed in thebottom tray 48 is preferably a flip-outpanel 49 hingedly secured along one side to thebottom tray 48. The left andright wing panels back panel 46 bysupport members 50, such as rods, which are preferably received into left and right ends of a receivingmember 52, such as a tube, supported at thetop 14 of theback panel 46. As such, thesupport members 50 cooperate with the receiving member to maintain the left andright wing panels back panel 46. - The left and
right wing panels back panel 46, thebottom tray 48 and the flip-outpanel 49 all preferably include an array ofpockets 54,bands 56, andstraps 58 within which various types of tools orother items 60 may be removably held, inserted or supported. It should be appreciated that depending on the size and type of tools or items to be held in thebackpack 10, the configuration or arrangement ofpockets 54,bands 56 andstraps 58 may vary, as well as the type of material used. For example, in some applications thebands 56 may be made of elastic material and thepockets 54 may be made of mesh material, whereas in other applications different materials may be better suited. - As best illustrated in
FIGS. 1 , 2 and 5, in addition to pockets disposed on the interior of thebody 12, the exterior of thebody 12 also preferably includes pockets and straps forholding tools 60. As used herein, the term “tool” or “tools” should be understood to refer to any item, article, equipment, object, utensil, ingredient, material or supply useful for a particular purpose. In the embodiment ofFIG. 1 , thebody 12 preferably includes left and right exteriorzippered pockets stretch cords 66 laced betweenloops 68 for holdingadditional tools 60, such as clothing, rags, etc. - As best illustrated in
