To all 'llilH/IL it may concern:

lie it lanown that l, llnoons A. Russian), a citizen of the United States, residing at Los .liggeles. Cal fornia. have invented a new and useful Portable Metallic Tool- (hes-t. oi which the following is a specification.

My object is to make a portable tool chest for carpenters, and the like, which shall he light. durable. convenient and inexpensive. in the (llll\\ lll; 'hI -Idl lll'i 1 is a perspeo lire of a portnhle metallic tool chest, emlaodyin the principles of my invention. Fig. l longitudinal section on the line 2- ot t n ,4 and 5, and looking by the arrow. Fig. I is :1 view analogous to Fig. 2 and taken lo the left. as indicated on the line Z1--l ot" Figs. 1, 4- and 5, and looking! to the right. as indie arrow. Fig. lis a eross-seetion as indicated. h the line lt in Figs. 1, 2 and 3. l is octlon as indicated by the line ;i---.T Fig. (i is n l, and 3. l'rnglnenlal detail on an enlarged scale on the line l'i tl in l ig'. l.

lloierring to the drawing in detail, the nniin liody oi the tool chest comprises the l flil llll l. the llzUfli'Q. the front 3. the

ends

4 and 3 and the rigid lop'tl. of sheet metal, all secured rigidly together. The front 3 is snlislnntially Ulltdllllf as high as the hack 2. and the rigid top o is substantially oneqnarler as wide as the bottom 1., the 'i'ront lln'ce-qmiriers T of the ends l and 5, being llie height of the front 3 and the remaining one-fourth S of the ends, being as high as the hack 2. thus forming an opening. [1 head 5) s ressed outwardly along the edge of the. 5nd top (3. along the front edges of the. cod portions 8, and along; the top edges of the end portions 7, and the sheet metal exlonl'ls beyond the heads. a wire is inserted into the head from the inside. and the sheet meta. is turned inwardly and backwardly beyond the wire thus forming the flanges. ll, 1), l3, and projecting 'lorwardl x and npwardlv from the head and wire.

The cover in comprises the front 17. the lop l8, and the ends 1:) and 20, all of sheet metal secured rigidly together, and headed, and a wire 2! is inserted in the head along the rear edge of the top t8, along the rear edges ol the (lids l0 and 90, and along the lower edges of the ends 1. and 20, this wire odor lioino' :nlnniod to slide 0Y0! the flanges l1, 12, 13, 14 and 15 and tl ted by the The upper edge of the and rolled and the lower edge oi: th- 17 is notched to {it in the notches front 3 and rolled and a wire is so as to hinge the cover in place. A i

of sheet metal is secured against the inner face of the front 3 and extends npwo' beyond the wire to form the flange A. hasp 24 is secured to the rigid-toot an o. slaple'25 is secured to the top 18 to enguged by the hose A of loops 26 secured in transversealineinenl; one 1 of the tool chest. and there is a second set of loops 2? at the other end, and a "third set 28 at the center, and

straps

29, 30 and 81 are inserted into the loops and around the tool chest to hold the cover clog the middle strap 31 being loose to serve it handle for carrying the tool c- A eh or cord 32 limits the outward swing; of (over 16.

is. shelf 33 is secured to th inner fa e of the upper part of the hack he a f 34 extends u wardly from the for of the shel to form receotacn. small tools 35. The Shelf and shorter than the tool chest and strip Ill) is inserted and extends e... lo the rigid top. so as to form a for the upper end of the earpentefs square 3?.

llloeks

38 and 39 extend in the ends of the shelf to suppt penters level 40. A stop a l tel warclly from the block 38 in "Mont oi the level and a button 42 holds the other of the level removabl in place. The sawtray 43 comprises the three slotted lip-rights 4t, 45 and 4.6 secured together-by the roller 47 and the slats -18 and 4.9. Straps Wood 51 encircle the roller at? and are .ecnieol to the lower inner face of the front. 17 so as to hinge the saw-tmy in place, so that when the cover 16 swings open the saw-tray swing to an upright position for removing tom, aback extending upwardly from the bottom, a front extending upwardlyfrom thebottom; the front being substantially half the height of the back; ends extend ng upwardly from the bottom and connecting ,the back and the front; the front threequarters of the ends being the height of the front and the rear one-quarter of the ends being the height of the back; a rigid top extending forwardly from the back and connecting the u per rear quarters of the ends, a bead extending outwardly along the front edge of the top and downwardly along the front edges of the rear quarters of the ends and forwardly along the top edges of the forward three-quarters of. the ends, and {flanges extending beyond the bead; all of sheet metal, the metal forming the flanges being turned inwardly and baekwardly beyond the bead; and a wire in the bead.

2. In a portable metallic tool chest, a bottom, a back extending upwardly from, the bottom, a front extending upwardly from the bottom; the front being substantially half the height of the back; ends extending upwardly from the bottom and connecting the back and the front; the front threeuarters of the ends being the height of the ront and the rear one-quarter of the ends extending forwardly from the-back and con necting the upper rear quarters of the ends, a bead extendlng outwardly along the front edge of the top and downwardly along thefront edges of the rear quarters of the ends and forwardly along the top edges of the forward three-quarters of theends, and flanges extending beyond the bead; all of sheetmetal, the metal forming the'flanges bein turned inwardly and backwardly beyond the bead; and a wire in the bead, and a cover hinged to the upper edge of the front and overlapping the flanges and havingda wired edge fitting against the wired bea e 3. In'a portable metallic tool chest, a bot tom, a back extending upwardly fromthe bottom, a front extending upwardly from the bottom; the front being substantially half the height of the back; ends extending upwardly from the bottom and connecting the back and the front; the front three quarters of the ends being the height of the being the height of the back; arigid top back; a rigid top extending forwardly from the back and connecting the upper rear quarters of the ends, a bead extending outwardly along the front edge of the top and downwardly along the front edges of the rear quarters of the ends and forwardly along the top edges of the forward threequarters of the ends, and flanges extending beyond the bead; all of sheet metal, the metal forming the flanges being turned inwardly and backwardly beyond the bead; and a wire in the head, a shelf below the rigid top, a flange extending upwardly from the forward edge of the shelf, said shelf and flange being shorter than the rigid top, a parting strip inserted between the short end of the shelf and the rigid top, blocks inserted above the ends of the shelf to form level supports, a stop extending upwardly from one block and a button at the other end to hold the level in place.

4. In a portable metallic tool chest, a main upright body of sheet metal, a horizontal shelf in the upper part of the upright body and shorter than the upright body, a flange extending upwardly from the forward edge of the shelf, blocks extending upwardly from the shelf for supporting a level, a stop extending upwardly from one of 'the blocks for holding the level in place, a parting strip secured in the upright body at the short end of the shelf to form space for a square, and a button attached to the partingstrip for holding the othervend of the level in place.

5. In a portable metallic tool chest, a

'main upright body, the forward edge of the upright body being substantially ,half as high as the rear edge, an upright cover hinged to the .front of the upright bod at a point outside of and below the ed'ge, a saw tray hinged in the upright cover somewhat above the lower edge, and a stop to limit the outward swing of the upright cover; so that when the uprightcover is in its open position the saw tray may be swung to a vertical position and restupon the upper forward edge of the upright body.
