  • Patent number: 4588082

The case is inexpensively formed from a single sheet of plastic to form therein two hinge lines defining a pair of cover panels separated by a base panel, forming a booklike casing for storing the sawblades on a stub extending inwardly from one cover panel. A plastic manually deformable latch locks the two covers closed in place over the sawblades, until access is desired. A carrying handle extends from one cover edge for transport while the cover panels are latched in closed position.
