Description
- The present invention relates generally to tool organizers and, more particularly, to tool organizers having prescribed locations for sets of tools such as drill bits, screwdriver bits, and sockets.
- Tool containers have long been used to store tools in an organized fashion. Properly organized tools should allow a user to find a desired tool quickly and, then, return it to its storage location. To that end, current tool organizers have prescribed locations for each tool. The locations are commonly configured to receive a single tool or accessory. In certain designs, the locations are defined by an interior surface of the container. In other designs, the container may include an array of compartments, each configured to house several tools and related accessories.
- Although generally effective for organization, current containers have shortfalls. For example, the containers can be substantial in size to house a prescribed tool set, making it cumbersome to transport and use. As a result, some users may be inclined to not to bring the entire set to a job site; rather, only take those tools which are anticipated to be needed. Also, certain containers can be inconvenient to use, particularly in selecting and replacing tools. Thus, users can be negligent in returning the tool to its prescribed location.
- It should, therefore, be appreciated that there remains a need for a tool container that allows users to remove a selected set of tools from the container that are nonetheless still organized. The present invention fulfills this need and others.
- The invention resides in a tool organizer having a housing and a tool holder received within a recess of the housing. The tool holder, which includes a body for holding a tool, is mounted in the recess such that the body of the tool holder can pivot relative to the housing. Thus, a user can orient the body of the tool holder upward to access to a tool and can pivot the body for storage within the recess. The tool holder is also configured to be removed from the housing. Thus, a user can take the tool holder without needing to carry the entire tool organizer.
- More specifically, and by way of example and not limitation, the tool holder includes two clips disposed at the ends of the tool holder and pivotally attached to the body. The clips are each configured to engage a corresponding side wall of the recess such that the body of the tool holder can pivot relative to the housing. For example, the clips can each include a post received within a slot defined by the body of the tool holder such that the body can rotate relative to the clip. Each clip can further include a distal portion angled outwardly relative to the body and configured to deflect upon engagement of the corresponding side wall.
- In an exemplary embodiment, the housing includes a tray and a lid that cooperatively define an interior cavity such that, with the lid closed and the tool holder in place, the tool holder is disposed in the interior cavity of the housing.
- In a detailed aspect of an exemplary embodiment, the body of the tool holder includes an elongated base and a plurality of spring-biased supports extending upwardly from the base. Each spring-biased support is formed of a unitary piece having inwardly facing ends secured about the base and an upstanding intermediate portion for receiving a tool.
- In another detailed aspect of an exemplary embodiment, the body further includes two caps attached to the ends of the base, each cap defining a slot for receiving a post of the corresponding clip.
