Abstract: A method of constructing a double-walled blow-molded article with a hinged handle is performed on an article comprising a receiving member and a pinned member. The receiving member is a double-walled blow-molded thermoplastic component having an outer wall, an inner wall, and an open-ended receptacle. The open ended receptacle is defined by an arcuate pocket positioned opposite the open end, a stationary wall extending from the pocket and facing generally in a first direction, and a deflecting wall positioned opposite the stationary wall and facing generally in a second direction opposite the first direction. The pinned member includes a cylindrical pin. The method comprises as a first step passing the cylindrical pin through the open end of the receptacle and into contact with the pocket.

Abstract: A hinge configuration includes: a first member having a plurality of hinge fingers with partially cylindrical surfaces, wherein at least one of these surfaces is upwardly facing and at least one of these surfaces is downwardly facing, and wherein the hinge fingers are spaced apart along an axis of rotation and the surfaces of the hinge fingers are radially aligned along the axis of rotation; a second member having a plurality of hinge fingers with partially cylindrical surfaces, wherein at least one of these surfaces is upwardly facing and at least one of these surfaces is downwardly facing, and wherein the hinge fingers are spaced apart along the axis of rotation and the surfaces of the hinge fingers are radially aligned along the axis of rotation; and a pin including a shaft extending along the axis of rotation, an end head at one end of the shaft, and an intermediate head spaced apart from the end head and extending radially from the shaft.

Abstract: A container for tool accessories forms an integral, rigid, upright body. The upper part of the upright body includes means to securely and individually store accessories having short coupling tubes. A front wall in a lower portion of the body has an access opening therein whereby a storage bin is formed by front, side, and back walls of the body. The lateral sidewalls of the body are adapted to securely and individually store accessories having long coupling tubes at the four corners of the container such that the container stores a plurality of accessory items which are individually secured and accessible within a minimized storage area.
