Kit and case for storing and transporting a concrete finishing tool
DCFirst Claim
1. A concrete finishing tool kit comprising:
- an elongated concrete float adapted to engage and smooth a wet concrete surface;
a concrete float adjusting device adapted to be connected to the concrete float for selectively tilting the concrete float;
an elongated handle structure adapted to be removably attached to the concrete float adjusting device for pushing and pulling and causing tilting of the concrete float; and
a storage case containing the concrete float adjusting device connected to the float, and the handle structure in a spaced apart, stacked arrangement, the case having a cover selectively engaged with and disengaged from a base, the cover having first retention structure for receiving the float adjusting device and the float connected thereto, and at least preventing movement of the float adjusting device and the float in a direction parallel to a longitudinal axis of the float, the base having second retention structure for receiving and retaining the handle structure and preventing movement of the handle structure in a direction parallel to and transverse to a longitudinal axis of the handle structure, either of the cover or the base having third retention structure for receiving the float connected to the float adjusting device and preventing movement of the float and the float adjusting device in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of the float.

Abstract
A concrete finishing tool storage case is used to retain and transport a partially disassembled concrete finishing tool having a variously sized concrete float. A case includes a cover moveable into engagement with a base to define a closed position, and moveable away from the base to define an open position. The cover has a lower surface provided with a series of spaced apart, parallel downwardly facing grooves adapted to receive a concrete float connected to a concrete float adjusting device. An upper surface of the cover is formed with a cut-out adapted to receive the concrete float adjusting device connected to the concrete float. The base has a number of spaced apart barriers, adjacent pairs of barriers defining a set of channels adapted to frictionally receive a plurality of handle extensions collectively attached to the float adjusting device. Certain of the barriers are formed with pockets adapted to receive and support the concrete float connected to the concrete float adjusting device. The storage case, the concrete float, the concrete float adjusting device and the handle extensions are collectively included together in a kit which is useful at a concrete finishing work site.
