ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to an organizer for storing a set of open-end type wrenches in a very compact and easily accessible manner.
Any person attempting to perform a considerable amount of service on modem day equipment is finding the need to have a multitude of both basic and special tools to complete their work. Storage and organization of these tools is now becoming crucial to efficient performance of their tasks. Prior wrench holders generally rely on a means of gripping the handles or some external surface of the wrench. Rack type wrench holders provide a well-organized distribution of the wrenches while generally providing a carrying handle. This method is a disadvantage if space is an issue. Some wrench holders are made to hold the wrenches in stacked form with the holding member gripping the complete set of wrenches. This can be a disadvantage, when only one or two wrenches are removed from the set, since incidental contact of the remaining wrenches can disturb their arrangement.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This invention is directed to a holder and more particularly a compact organizer for open-end type wrenches. The object of the present invention is to hold a set of progressively different sized open-end type wrenches in an organized and compact arrangement. The set of wrenches can then be stored on a workbench or in a tool chest drawer. When the need arises to use an individual wrench in the set, the wrench can be easily identified, removed, used and then replaced on the invention.
A compact organizer for open-end type wrenches comprises a series of progressively different sized rubber washers, with a support rod placed through the center of all rubber washers and retainers placed on each end of the support rod. Each rubber washer of the invention is sized to grip the inside jaw surface of the opening of the head of the respective wrench that it holds.
By gripping the inside area of the head of each wrench in a set, the problem of removing a wrench from the set and the space required during storage is greatly reduced.
