ABSTRACT:
A carrying case is made, preferably molded of hard plastic, having within the same, preferably as integral part thereof a stop, lug or block to arrest motion of a carried object by coacting with a portion of said object as the object is urged toward and against said stop by an inclined plane or surface generally facing toward said stop and coacting with another portion of said object. The plane or surface can be comprised in an upstanding outcropping or rib. The surface or rib can have in the surface an offset, jog or crotch generally facing said stop to limit motion away from said stop whenever the inclined surface is insufficient to urge the object towards said stop as when the case is tilted to render the inclined surface momentarily inoperative and when the top of the closed case may not urge the carried object toward said plane.
Providing several spaced offsets permits the case to effectively accommodate several sizes of objects, e.g., chain saws of different models or sizes.
If desired, the or a similar inclined surface in the top of the case will provide an urging of the object toward the stop. Thus, there can be such a surface in the bottom or in the top or in both top and bottom of the case. For chain saw use the stop coacts, e.g., as a bay-shaped element or stall with the gripping teeth of the saw.
A snap-into-place integrally molded hasp coacts with a wedge portion to lock the top of a case to the bottom thereof, in one embodiment.
