1 CONVEYOR-TYPE FOLDUP TOOL CHEST BASE SUMMARY ble characteristics. The base permits chest to be placed in ordinarily awkward places such as: under cabinets, benches, or rear deck sides of automobiles inside the trunk. Simply roll chest under such places on conveyor base and then fold up base half to save space.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF VIEWS Fig. 1. This is a top view of base showing nearly all elements. Base folds in center by use of hinges to permit space saving and base is adjustable on the ends to accommodate most sizes of tool chests.
FIG. 2. This is a side view showing leg supports and adjustability of foldup side of base when it rests in horizontal position.
FIG. 3. This is a partial view of roller angle rails showing rollers and protective guide strip on inside vertical leg of roller angles. I
FIG. 4. Here is a cross-sectional view of roller angle rail and protective strip. 1 I
FIG. 5. This is a partial view showing adjustable slotted angles and secure strap handle.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION Conveyor-type foldup tool chest base FIGS. (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5), is made up of the following parts:
lEnd adjustable slotted angles 2Side roller angle rails 3Roller 4-Roller shaft pin 5-Roller bearing 6-Protective guide strip 7Hinge I 8Secure strap handle (drawer pull type) 9-Stationary leg l0-Stud leg support block 1 lLocknut l2--Stud leg I3Eye rivet l4Shoulder rivet l6Roundhead bolt l7--Flathead countersunk rivet l8-Roundhead bolt with lockwasher and nut l9-Roundhead rivet 20--Rubber spacer with recess for bolt 2lStud leg plastic tip 22Protective strip rivet 23Secure strap 24-Roundhead bolts I claim:
1. A portable conveyor having rollers in its upper surface for sliding a tool chest or the like into a space extending upwardly from a surface a distance at least equal to the height of the conveyor and toolbox, said conveyor comprising two U- shaped supporting members, hinged together at the ends of the arms of the U, said members adapted to lie in an extended position on said surface with one of said members in said space, for sliding said toolbox on said conveyor into said space to a position entirely on said one member, the other of said members adapted to fold to a predetermined rotated, locked position.
2. The conveyor according to claim I in which the width of the conveyor is adjustable.
3. The conveyor according to claim I having side guides and provided with supporting legs at least some of which are ad- 3 5 justable.
4. The conveyor according to claim 1 having a means of securing chest or the like in relatively rigid predetermined position.
