ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a combined pack for storing tools and apron, especially to a combined pack containing a hand held outer layer, an apron inner layer and a tool box (or tow of them) as one combined pack. It is easy to carry, saves space and is suitable for tool box(es).
2. Description of the Prior Art
The conventional hand held pack for storing tools is shown in
FIGS. 1 and 2
. It comprises a handle
91
, an outer casing
92
and several foldable inner layers
93
. The handle
91
is secured on an outer surface of the outer casing
92
. Several storing pockets
95
for storing tools
94
are disposed on the inner layers
93
. At the opening of each pocket
95
, there is a zipper or snap-fastening buttons to prevent the stored tool(s)
94
sliding out. Besides, a plurality of adhesive fastening straps
921
,
931
are disposed on pre-determined positions of the inner side of the outer casing
92
or of the inner layers
93
. Therefore, after it is folded, it can be locked.
When a user wants to use it, the inner layers
93
should be opened and then the needed tools
94
(like screwdrivers, wrenches, pliers, etc.) can be put in. After which, the inner layers
93
are folded up and the corresponding adhesive fastening straps
921
,
931
can be secured so as to form an integral one. As shown in
FIG. 1
, it is easy to carry.
However, in order to keep the user's dress clean, the user must bring an apron to avoid his/her dress getting dirty. It is quite inconvenient. In addition, may persons usually will forget to bring such an apron. So, the oil or dust at the working place might dirty the user's dress. Therefore, it is necessary to find out a good way to overcome this problem.
Furthermore, the thinner tool box might be inserted into the pockets
95
, but it is impossible to insert a thicker full-set tool box in. So, if someone can invent a new product which can combine both apron and thicker tool box, it will be more convenient for people.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The primary object of this invention is to provide a combined pack for storing tools and apron. In which, the apron inner layer can be folded and secured in the hand held outer layer so that it is easy to carry an apron.
The other object of this invention is to provide a combined pack for storing tools and apron. In which, the total volume of the combined pack is small so as to save space.
Another object of this invention is to provide a combined pack for storing tools and apron that is suitable for thinner tool box(es) or thicker tool box. Thus, the application scope of this invention is wide.
