Abstract

A device to be mounted permanently or removably to the side wall of a rolling tool cart for the carrying of tools and other shop paraphernalia such as extension cords, solder rolls, masking tape, and hand tools. The device has a peripheral rectangular frame of four framing segments, which frame is integrated with and surrounds a forwardly raised portion with an inclined surround interposed there between. The panel has a series of rows and columns with ⅓-inch spaced bores for the conventional mounting of tools and other shop items. The top of the frame has a flange that fit over a lip of a rolling tool cart. Two legs, vertically adjustably mounted outside of the central portion on the side framing, each have a bottom flange to engage a downward depending edge of a tool cart side wall.

Claims

1. A device for the retention of tools and other objects, for removable or permanent mounting to a rolling tool cart, which device comprises:

a main panel comprising an integrated frame of four sections, top, bottom, a left and right side that surround a forwardly raised central portion, which central portion has a series of rows and columns of through bores for the mounting of tools thereto;

a pair of legs downwardly mounted, one on each of the respective side framing sections; and

wherein said main panel has a top flange and each leg has a bottom flange, both leg flanges being directed rearwardly, and of the same depth; and

wherein each side framing section has a left series and a right series of vertically disposed slots in two parallel columns for the attachment of a respective leg, and each leg has one column of spaced bores, each respective leg'"'"'s column of bores being aligned with at least a part of a column of slots of a side framing section; and

wherein said slots allow for longitudinal and lateral adjustment of said pair of legs when mounting said device to the rolling tool cart.

2. The device of claim 1 wherein each side framing section includes a forwardly disposed section of an L-shaped member, which L-shaped member includes a central bore therein.

3. The device of claim 1 wherein the main panel has a rearward normally disposed edge on each side of the panel.

4. The device of claim 1 wherein the two legs are vertically downwardly adjustable mounted.

5. The device of claim 1 wherein the device is made of steel and is powder coated in one of red and black.

9. The device of claim 1 in combination with a series of coach bolts disposed randomly in the through bores of the central portion.

6. A device to the retention of tools and other objects which device is adapted to be removable or permanently mounted to a rolling tool cart, which device comprises:

a main panel comprising an integrated frame of four sections, top, bottom, left and right that surround a forwardly raised central portion, which central portion has a series of rows and columns of through bores for the mounting of tools thereto;

a pair of vertically disposed legs mounted, one on each of the respective side framing sections, wherein each side framing section has a left series and a right series of vertically disposed slots in two parallel columns for the attachment of a respective leg, and each leg has one column of spaced bores, one column of slots being aligned with a least a part of a column of bores of a leg; and

said main panel has a top flange and each leg has a bottom flange, both leg flanges being directed rearwardly, and of the same depth and the main panel has a rearward normally disposed edge on each side of the panel; and

wherein said slots allow for longitudinal and lateral adjustment of said pair of legs when mounting said device to the rolling tool cart.

7. The device of claim 6 wherein each side framing section includes a L-shaped member having a forwardly disposed section of, which L-shaped member'"'"'s forwardly disposed section includes a central bore therein, and the balance of the L-shaped member is attached to a side framing section.

8. The device of claim 7 wherein the device is made of steel that has been powder coated.

10. The device of claim 7 wherein an inclined wall is interposed between the framing sections is the raised central portion.
