  • Patent number: 12637277
    Abstract: A modular corner guard is constructed of two elongated, wall sections that are disposed generally at right angles to each other. The wall sections include generally planar exterior surfaces that intersect a juncture wall or end wall that in essence creates a truncated or beveled outer corner at the exterior of the corner guard. The wall sections at the opposite sides from the juncture wall are in the form of curved or rounded exterior edge portions. The interior of the modular corner guard is constructed in the form of a lattice of open cells defined by spaced apart partition walls that extend transversely relative to the length of the wall sections. The inward edges of the partition walls lie in a common plane to cooperatively form the two interior surfaces of the modular corner guard. These two interior surfaces are disposed at right angles to each other, to enable the interior surfaces to overlie and bear against the corner of the structure on which the corner guard is mounted.

  • Publication number: 20260115889
    Abstract: A modular tool tray organizer is composed of a plurality of rectilinear shaped base panels, each having side edges and a bottom surface. A first series of tubes projecting from a first side edge of a panel and a first series of sockets are formed in a second side edge of the panel. The panels of the tray are interconnected by engaging the first series of tubes projecting from a first panel into a series of sockets of an adjacent panel.

  • Publication number: 20260102900
    Abstract: A modular tool holder for holding an array of different mechanic's tools includes a tool holder component having opposed, upwardly extending first and second faces. The first and second faces are separated by an intermediate section contoured to receive and hold a mechanics tool. A male connector structure is disposed along the base of the first face and a female connector structure is disposed along the base of the second face. An abutment wall structure extends upwardly to a height above the tool holder component. The abutment wall structure has a first wall and a second wall spaced from the first wall. A female connector structure is incorporated into the first wall to interconnect with the male connector structure of the tool holder component, and a male connector structure is located at the base of the second wall to interconnect with the female connector structure of an adjacent tool holder component.

  • Publication number: 20260077474
    Abstract: A socket tool holder 100 for holding and supporting a socket tool 102 in upright orientation includes a base section 104 and a stem 106 that extends upwardly from the base section and through the socket tool 102 to terminate above top of the socket tool. An indicia 108 is located at the top of the stem to indicate some aspect of the socket tool 102 being held, in this case that the size of the socket tool is 15 mm and 16 mm, respectively. A plurality of reduced size sections or locations 140 are spaced apart along the length or height of the stem 106. The reduced size sections serve as locations where the stem 106 can be conveniently severed to thereby adjust the length of the stem to the length or depth of the socket tool 102.
