Tool kit mounting system
First Claim
1. A tool cart assembly, comprising:
- a tool cart including a horizontal surface defining at least one mounting aperture therein;
a first rail including a bottom wall, a pair of opposed sidewalls depending upwardly therefrom and defining a channel, a front edge of each sidewall defining a catch, and at least one projection depending downwardly from a bottom surface of the bottom wall, the at least one projection being configured to be received in the at least one mounting aperture of the horizontal surface such that the first rail is removably secured to the horizontal surface; and
a tool kit including a sidewall and at least a first elongated rib disposed along an outer surface of the sidewall, the at least one elongated rib being configured to be slidably received by the first rail,wherein the tool kit is removably secured to the tool cart by positioning the at least one elongated first rib of the tool kit in the channel defined by the first rail and sliding the tool kit rearwardly relative to the first rail such that the catches defined by the sidewalls of the first rail engage a first portion of the tool kit.

Abstract
A tool cart assembly including a tool cart having a horizontal surface defining a mounting aperture, a first rail including a bottom wall, a pair of opposed sidewalls, a front edge of each sidewall defining a catch, and at least one projection depending downwardly from the bottom wall, the projection being configured to be received in the mounting aperture such that the first rail is secured to the horizontal surface. A tool kit includes a sidewall and a first elongated rib, the elongated rib is configured to be slidably received by the first rail. The tool kit is removably secured to the tool cart by positioning the elongated first rib in the first rail and sliding the tool kit rearwardly such that the catches defined by the first rail engage a first portion of the tool kit.
