Patent Images
1. A case for carrying tools or other items comprising, in combination:
- planar, generally rigid, fabric covered first end panel having a generally rectangular lower section with a bottom side edge, a front side edge and a back side edge and a generally triangular upper section;
a second, planar, generally rigid, fabric covered end panel having a configuration congruent with the first end panel and parallel to and spaced from the first end panel and with a bottom edge, a front side edge and a back side edge;
a planar, generally rigid, fabric covered, rectangular bottom panel connecting between the first and second panels to form a three sided, generally rigid fabric covered box;
a first, flexible, fabric front panel having a top edge and joined between the front side edges of the first and second panels;
a second, flexible fabric back panel having a top edge and joined between the back side edges of the first and second end panels;
a single continuous, closed loop binding joining the fabric covering the generally rigid panels and the flexible panels, said binding extending over the joined fabric and stitched thereto along the side edges and bottom edges of the end panels and the top edges of the flexible panels.

Abstract
A storage and carrying case includes semi-rigid spaced end panels and a semi-rigid bottom panel all joined together by means of a fabric over layer and a fabric under layer which are stitched together by a binding which also connects to front and back panels to form an enclosure for tools or the like. A single binding may thus be utilized to join all of the flexible fabric materials which retain the semi-rigid or rigid panels forming the enclosure.

8. A case for carrying tools or other items comprising, in combination:
-
planar, fabric covered first end panel having a generally rectangular, rigid lower section with a bottom side edge, a front side edge and a back side edge and a generally triangular upper section;
a second, planar, fabric covered end panel constructed substantially identical to the first end panel and having a configuration generally congruent with the first end panel and parallel to and spaced from the first end panel and, said second panel also including a bottom edge, a front side edge and a back side edge;
a planar, generally rigid, fabric covered, rectangular perimeter shaped, bottom panel between the first and second panel to form a generally three sided, generally rigid, fabric covered box with the first and second end panels extending upwardly from the bottom panel;
a first, flexible, fabric front panel having a top edge and joined between the front side edges of the first and second panels;
a second, flexible fabric back panel having a top edge and joined between the back side edges of the first and second end panels;
a continuous, closed loop binding joining fabric covering the generally rigid end and bottom panels and the flexible panels, said binding extending over the joined fabric and stitched thereto along the side edges and bottom edges of the end panels and the top edges of the flexible panels. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 18)
