Description

TOOLBOX Description This article is designed to cater for many trades or professions and has not previously been available to my knowledge in the retail or wholesale trades.

The description is as follows.

The design is unique in that it only incorporates Two moving parts.

Part I. is the single hinged side opening, gaining access to all tools, equipment, or instruments incorporated in the specifications.

Part 2. The only other moving part in an electrical main's lead extension of the recoil type.

Part 3. Attached to the rigid side of the tool box (see attached drawing), are two 13 amp sockets, therein allowing an instant power source to the design.

Part 4. The single side opening aperture which will have a central divider with a soft cover over both compartments, which will fold in half, or can be removed completely giving access to both compartments, the cover as described would be fastened with "velcro" RTM. The single side opening aperture as described could contain loose tool's of the trade or profession.

Part 5. The upright section (see drawing attached), would have Two power sockets to the side, which houses the extension lead aperture, the extension lead being pluged into one socket when not in use. The upright portion of the design would be sectioned of as follows, the lower section having a soft "velcro" attached top could contain "bric-a-brac" etc. The upper sections, gauges, dials, tools etc.

Part 6. The carrying handle which is moulded into the design would separate in Two on opening.

NOVELTY VALUE The uniqueness to this design, a single hinged opening, giving access to all compartment's.

The second important feature is the extending main's lead, giving power to the design.

The third novelty and most important to all who have suffered the indignity of damaged carrying handles, is the handle being part of the construction.

This design would be made of hard-wearing lightweight durable material which will make it ideal even when fully loaded with the equipment required.
