First Claim
1. A tool container and alarm system comprising:
- a tool container comprising;
a container having a storage space and defining an upwardly facing opening into, the storage space; and
a cover, the cover being movable between a closed position wherein the cover substantially covers the upwardly facing opening and an open position wherein the upwardly facing opening is substantially exposed;
an alarm system generally carried by the container and having an activated state and a deactivated state,the alarm system, when in the activated state, capable of outputting an alarm indication in response to a condition of the tool container, the alarm system comprising;
a detector configured to detect the condition of the tool container;
a controller configured to receive an input signal from the detector based on the detected condition of the tool container;
a signaling device operatively connected to the controller and configured to generate the alarm indication in response to receiving an output signal from the controller, the output signal from the controller being generated in response to the input signal from the detector; and
