  • Publication number: 20170182652
    Abstract: A tool storage device and a tool box. The device may include flexible walls cooperating to define a storage area, and a rigid frame supported in the storage area and including a central portion extending in a direction from a bottom wall toward a top wall, one base portion extending from one side of the central portion, along the bottom wall and toward one side wall, and another base portion extending from an opposite side of the central portion, along the bottom wall and toward an opposite side wall. The tool box may include a body defining a storage compartment; a lid defining a groove in its outer surface to support an elongated work piece; and a handle engageable with a work piece supported in the groove. The lid may be attachable to the top of the body in a closed position and to the bottom in a stowed position.

  • Publication number: 20170120679
    Abstract: A wheel assembly, a wheeled device and a method of manufacturing a wheel assembly. The wheel assembly includes a core and an outer portion coupled to the core. The core includes a body and one or more projections extending from the body. Material of the outer portion may be positioned radially between the body and a portion of the projection to limit radial movement of the outer portion relative to the core. The projection may define a bore and/or an undercut. Material of the outer portion may encompass the projection and fill the bore and/or the undercut. Engagement of the material of the outer portion and the projection(s) may limit relative movement between the core and the outer portion radially, axially, circumferentially, etc.
