Item carrying system

A item carrying system for providing space-efficient tool storage and transportation. The item carrying system includes a housing with a pair of storage spaces, each of the storage spaces has an open top designed for permitting insertion of an item into the respective storage space, and a plurality of containers which are removably insertable within one of the storage spaces, each of the containers is designed for holding at least one of the items.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to tool boxes and more particularly pertains to a new item carrying system for providing space-efficient tool storage and transportation.

2. Description of the Prior Art

The use of tool boxes is known in the prior art. More specifically tool boxes heretofore devised and utilized are known to consist basically of familiar, expected and obvious structural configurations, notwithstanding the myriad of designs encompassed by the crowded prior art which have been developed for the fulfillment of countless objectives and requirements.

While these devices fulfill their respective, particular objectives and requirements, the aforementioned patents do not disclose a new item carrying system. The inventive device includes a housing with a pair of storage spaces, each of the storage spaces has an open top designed for permitting insertion of an item into the respective storage space, and a plurality of containers which are removably insertable within one of the storage spaces, each of the containers is designed for holding at least one of the items.

In these respects, the item carrying system according to the present invention substantially departs from the conventional concepts and designs of the prior art, and in so doing provides an apparatus primarily developed for the purpose of providing space-efficient tool storage and transportation.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of tool boxes now present in the prior art, the present invention provides a new item carrying system construction wherein the same can be utilized for providing space-efficient tool storage and transportation.

The general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a new item carrying system apparatus and method which has many of the advantages of the tool boxes mentioned heretofore and many novel features that result in a new item carrying system which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by any of the prior art tool boxes, either alone or in any combination thereof.

To attain this, the present invention generally comprises a housing with a pair of storage spaces, each of the storage spaces has an open top designed for permitting insertion of an item into the respective storage space, and a plurality of containers which are removably insertable within one of the storage spaces, each of the containers is designed for holding at least one of the items.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a new item carrying system apparatus and method which has many of the advantages of the tool boxes mentioned heretofore and many novel features that result in a new item carrying system which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by any of the prior art tool boxes, either alone or in any combination thereof.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a new item carrying system which may be easily and efficiently manufactured and marketed.

It is a further object of the present invention to provide a new item carrying system which is of a durable and reliable construction.

Still yet another object of the present invention is to provide a new item carrying system which provides in the apparatuses and methods of the prior art some of the advantages thereof, while simultaneously overcoming some of the disadvantages normally associated therewith.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide a new item carrying system for providing space-efficient tool storage and transportation.

Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a new item carrying system which includes a housing with a pair of storage spaces, each of the storage spaces has an open top designed for permitting insertion of an item into the respective storage space, and a plurality of containers which are removably insertable within one of the storage spaces, each of the containers is designed for holding at least one of the items.

Still yet another object of the present invention is to provide a new item carrying system that can be readily reconfigured as the needs of the user change.

Even still another object of the present invention is to provide a new item carrying system that provides a quick method of changing the tools carried for differing tasks.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 through 4 thereof, a new item carrying system embodying the principles and concepts of the present invention and generally designated by the reference numeral 10 will be described.

As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 4 , the item carrying system 10 generally comprises an housing 20 , a plurality of containers 30 , and a plurality of dividers 50 .

The housing 20 includes a pair of storage spaces 21 . Each of the storage spaces 21 includes an open top such that the open top is designed for permitting insertion of an item into the respective storage space 21 .

Each one of the plurality of containers 30 is removably insertable within one of the storage spaces 21 . Each of the containers 30 includes a perimeter wall 31 such that the perimeter wall 31 defines an interior space and includes an open top. Each of the containers 30 is designed for at least one of the items.

In an embodiment each of the storage spaces 21 is defined by a perimeter. A plurality of channels 22 is arranged around the perimeter of each of the storage spaces 21 .

Each one of a plurality of the dividers 50 is used for insertion into an opposing pair of the channels 22 such that the dividers 50 are for dividing each of the storage spaces 21 into smaller compartments.

The plurality of dividers 50 comprises at least one first divider 51 such that the first divider 51 is for dividing a length of the storage spaces 21 into smaller compartments. The plurality of dividers 50 comprises at least one second divider 52 such that the second divider 52 is for dividing a width of the storage spaces 21 into smaller compartments.

Each of the containers 30 has a plurality of tabs 32 positioned along opposing sides of the perimeter wall 31 of each of the containers 30 such that each of the tabs 32 of the containers 30 is for removably inserting into one of the channels 22 . Thus the tabs 32 secure the containers 30 into one of the storage spaces 21 .

Each of the containers 30 has a lid 33 , which is removably coupled to a top end of the respective container 30 such that the lid 33 is for closing the open top of the interior space of the respective container 30 .

The housing 20 has a handle 23 for facilitating transporting of the housing 20 . The housing 20 has a pair of end portions 24 . Each of the end portions 24 includes a plurality of bores 25 such that each of the bores 25 is designed for storing items.

In use, the user selects the desired dividers and containers to configure the item carrying system. The desired items are then inserted into the respective bores, interior spaces and containers. Lids are attached to the containers and spaced as desired to hold items.
