1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a tool organizing device, and more particularly to a tool organizing device including an adjustable structure for suitably storing and displaying or supporting various tool members and for allowing the tool members to be easily and quickly obtained by the users.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Typical tool organizing devices or utility carts comprise one or more shelves attached or mounted or secured onto four corner posts for supporting various tool members or objects, and four casters attached or mounted to the bottom portion of the four corner posts for allowing the utility cart to be moved to the other places or locations.
For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,595,107 to Welsch discloses one of the typical utility carts comprising one or more drawers or shelves disposed or attached or mounted or secured onto four corner posts which are coupled to two or more handle legs with support members.
However, the shelves may only be provided in the typical utility carts and used to randomly support the various tool members or objects, but may not be used to suitably organize the tool members or objects.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,902,205 to Yu, U.S. Pat. No. 5,975,660 to Tisbo et al., and U.S. Pat. No. 6,113,203 to Chen disclose three further typical working cabinets or tool box assembles each comprising one or more shelves or drawers slidably received or attached or mounted in an outer housing member for storing or supporting various tool members.
However, the shelves or drawers may only be used to closely receive and store the various tool members or objects, but may not be used to suitably display the various tool members or objects such that the required tool members or objects may not be easily obtained by the users.
The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the afore-described disadvantages of the conventional tool organizing devices or working cabinets or tool box assembles.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe primary objective of the present invention is to provide a tool organizing device including an adjustable structure for suitably storing and displaying or supporting various tool members and for allowing the tool members to be easily and quickly obtained by the users.
In accordance with one aspect of the invention, there is provided a tool organizing device comprising a housing including a chamber formed therein and defined by two side walls, a rear wall, a bottom wall, and an upper wall, and including an opening formed in a front portion of the housing and communicative with the chamber of the housing, and including four corner areas, and including a peripheral fence extended upwardly from the upper wall for forming a compartment above the upper wall and within the peripheral fence for receiving and storing or organizing various tool members, and including a cavity formed in each of the four corner areas of the upper wall of the housing, and including an engaging hole formed in each of the four corner areas of the bottom wall of the housing, and including a number of rails disposed in the housing, and including a number of apertures formed in the side walls for hooking or hanging or organizing various tool members, a cover openably attached to the front portion of the housing and movable relative to the housing for selectively enclosing and opening the chamber of the housing, and a number of drawers slidably attached to the rails of the housing for receiving and storing or supporting or organizing various tool members.
Four posts may further be provided and selectively and detachably attached to the four corner areas of the bottom wall of the housing, and a tray selectively and detachably attached to the posts. The tray includes a board and a peripheral fence extended upwardly from the board for forming a compartment above the board and within the peripheral fence and for receiving and storing or supporting or organizing various tool members.
The tray includes four corner areas each having a cavity formed therein for engaging with the posts. Four wheel members may further be provided and selectively and detachably attached to the four corner areas of the tray. The tray includes four support members detachably attaching the wheel members to the four corner areas of the tray.
The housing includes four couplers detachably attaching the posts to the four corner areas of the bottom wall of the housing. The housing includes two stems selectively and detachably attached to the corner areas of the upper wall of the housing. The housing includes two couplers detachably attaching the stems to the corner areas of the upper wall of the housing.
The housing includes a panel selectively and detachably attached to the stems. The panel includes a number of orifices formed therein for hooking or hanging or organizing various tool members, and further includes two ears extended from the side portions and selectively and detachably attached to the stems. The panel includes two support members detachably attaching the ears of the panel to the stems.
Further objectives and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from a careful reading of the detailed description provided hereinbelow, with appropriate reference to the accompanying drawings.
