Abstract

The M.P.T.B. would be a portable workbench/saw horse/stool/step and tool box or storage compartment combined, with two vices which will give the user a Multifunctionable "workstation". Comprising of two main modules which can be used as separate units or together. The bench/saw horse/stool/step and vice top module would stand over the bottom toolbox/storage compartment and they could be fixed together with the aid of hooks or clips. The bottom module is pulled up under the top module and held suspended above the ground, the legs of the top module are folded under the bottom module and the combined unit can easily be carried. When fixed together the two modules form the M.P.T.B. together with its many different usages for a number of different jobs. The legs of the M.P.T.B. can be folded or unfolded to suit the purpose for which it is being used at any given time. <IMAGE>

Description

MULTI PURPOSE TOOL BOX This Invention relates to a Multi Purpose Tool Box.
Tool boxes come in all shapes and sizes and most are used to carry tools from place to place. They are mostly made from metal or wood, however they do not fulfill the needs of the user and in the Multi Purpose Tool Box I have designed into it a number of useful and different functions.
A specific design will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawing in which: Figure 1 shows in perspective the Multi Purpose Tool Box.
The separate storage racks and drawer are shown in (1).
The folding or retractable legs are shown in (2).
The small side vice is shown in (3).
The long vice is shown in (4).
The tool box is shown in (5).
The opened door in 6 shows the flat level surface.
The carrying strap is shown in (7).
The separate tool box is shown in (8).
The separate work bench/work station is shown in (9).
The carrying strap is shown in (10).
MULTI PURPOSE TOOL BOX The product would also allow tools to be easily selected as needed from the storage racks and drawers and help the user to keep a trace on his tools, so that he does not lose them or leave them at jobs.
The product can also be used as a small portable work bench with the foldaway legs used to stabilize the box when the user is using the vices to cut saw, drill or tap any material he is working with.
The fold-away legs will also be used to stabilize the box when the user needs to elevate himself to the work place by standing on its top.
The product in this function would act as a small stool or steps, the legs would be folded away neatly under the box, so it would be easy to carry.
The top of the box can also be used as a small bench allowing the user to hold lengths of wood or metal which may need cut or sawn, in this way the box would be used much like a joiners horse.
Inside the storage drawers there would be different compartments which would be used the hold different sized nails, screws and drills in a neat order.

Claims (8)

MULTI PURPOSE TOOL BOX CLAIMS The Multi Purpose Tool Box would consist of a tool box possibly made from a light durable plastic or some other suitable material.
1) The box would be rectangular in shape and would incorporate a number of convenient features. The M.P.T.B would be a two part combination unit.
2) One part would be a small level work station with retractable legs. On its top there would be an anti slip surface and the top of the work station would be a long vice.
3) On one end of the work station it would feature a small end vice used for holding items which need worked with.
4) The tool box fits under the work bench and is held in place by two clips which pull the tool box up into location and the legs fold under the tool box to form a flat level surface so the units can be carried easily using the strap.
5) Inside the product would be storage drawers that could be used for holding handy items.
6) The Multi Purpose Tool Box would be a convenient tool box that would serve many functions. The box would provide a storage area for a persons tools and supplies like screws, nails and drill bits etc. The larger compartment would be used to hold larger power tools and hand held tools.
7) The M.P.T.B with the legs unfolded and the vice closed will make a strong step or stool.
8) The two units together gives the user an all-in-one portable work station allowing the user to take all the items thay may need with them when they are working.
