Abstract

A tool holder comprises a first pair of opposing sides and a second pair of opposing sides. The second pair of opposing sides is disposed intermediate the first pair of opposing sides. The tool holder includes an at least one pocket attached to at least one of the sides. A first pair of straps connect a top edge of each of the first pair of opposing sides. The tool holder is configurable between an expanded position and a collapsed position.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A tool holder, comprising:
a plurality of sides including a first side, a second side, a third side, and a fourth side, each of the first side and the second side having a free top edge, a bottom edge, a first end edge, and a second end edge, the free top edge of the first side spaced apart from the free top edge of the second side, the third side disposed intermediate and connecting the first end edges of the first side and the second side, and the fourth side disposed intermediate and connecting the second end edges of the first side and the second side;
at least one pocket attached to at least one of the sides;
a first strap directly attached to the free top edge of each of the first side and the second side, and the first strap is laterally spaced apart from the first end edge;
a second strap directly attached to the free top edge of each of the first side and the second side, and the second strap is laterally spaced apart from the second end edge; and
wherein the tool holder is configured to be disposed over a sawhorse and is movable between an expanded position and a collapsed position.

2. The tool holder of claim 1 , wherein the entirety of each of the first end edges and the second end edges of the first side and the second side is connected to the third side or the fourth side.

3. The tool holder of claim 2 , wherein the first strap and the second strap are disposed in channels formed at a top of the sawhorse.

4. The tool holder of claim 3 , wherein the first strap and the second strap are oriented orthogonal to each of the free top edges of the first side and the second side.

5. The tool holder of claim 1 , wherein the first strap is laterally spaced apart from the second strap, and the free top edges of the first side and the second side are not otherwise connected.

6. The tool holder of claim 1 , wherein the sides and the at least one pocket are formed from a flexible thermoplastic material.

7. The tool holder of claim 1 , wherein each of the first side and the second side has a handle hole formed therein adjacent to the free top edge of each of the first side and the second side.

8. The tool holder of claim 1 , wherein the at least one pocket includes a plurality of pockets disposed on the first side, a plurality of pockets disposed on the second side, and one pocket formed on each of the third side and the fourth side.

9. The toolholder of claim 1 , wherein the first strap and the second strap are each configured to be disposed within a channel formed in an upper surface of the sawhorse, the channel further configured to receive a cross member for a work surface in addition to one of the first strap and the second strap.

10. A tool holder, comprising:
a plurality of sides including a first side, a second side, a third side, and a fourth side, each of the first side and the second side having a free top edge, a bottom edge, a first end edge, and a second end edge, the free top edge of the first side spaced apart from the free top edge of the second side, the third side disposed intermediate and connecting the first end edges of the first side and the second side, and the fourth side disposed intermediate and connecting the second end edges of the first side and the second side;
a plurality of pockets attached at least one of the sides;
a first strap directly attached to the free top edge of each of the first side and the second side, and connecting the first side and the second side, and the first strap is laterally spaced apart from the first end edge;
a second strap directly attached to the free top edge of each of the first side and the second side, and connecting the first side and the second side, the second strap laterally spaced apart from the first strap, and the second strap is laterally spaced apart from the second end edge; and
wherein the tool holder is configured to be disposed over a sawhorse and is movable between an expanded position and a collapsed position.

11. The tool holder of claim 10 , wherein the entirety of each of the first end edges and the second end edges of the first side and the second side is connected to the third side or the fourth side.

12. The tool holder of claim 11 , wherein the first strap and the second strap are oriented orthogonal to each of the free top edges of the first side and the second side.

13. The tool holder of claim 10 , wherein the sides and the pockets are formed from a flexible thermoplastic material.

14. The tool holder of claim 10 , wherein each of the first side and the second side has a handle hole formed therein adjacent to the free top edge of each of the first side and the second side.

15. The toolholder of claim 10 , wherein the first strap and the second strap are each configured to be disposed within a channel formed in an upper surface of the sawhorse, the channel further configured to receive a cross member for a work surface in addition to one of the first strap and the second strap.

16. A sawhorse system, comprising:
a sawhorse having a pair of spaced-apart channels formed in an upper surface thereof; and
a tool holder, having a plurality of sides including a first side, a second side, a third side, and a fourth side, each of the first side and the second side having a free top edge, a bottom edge, a first end edge, and a second end edge, the free top edge of the first side spaced apart from the free top edge of the second side, the third side disposed intermediate and connecting the first end edges of the first side and the second side, and the fourth side disposed intermediate and connecting the second end edges of the first side and the second side, at least one pocket attached to at least one of the sides, a first strap directly attached to the free top edge of each of the first side and the second side and the first strap is laterally spaced apart from the first end edge, a second strap directly attached to the free top edge of each of the first side and the second side and the second strap is laterally spaced apart from the second end edge; and
wherein the tool holder is configured to be disposed over a sawhorse wherein the first strap and second strap are each disposed in one of the channels formed in the upper surface of the sawhorse, and the tool holder is movable between an expanded position and a collapsed position wherein the tool holder is disposed over the sawhorse and is movable between an expanded position and a collapsed position.

17. The sawhorse system of claim 16 , wherein the sides and the pockets are formed from a flexible thermoplastic material.

18. The sawhorse system of claim 16 , wherein the first strap and the second strap are disposed in channels formed at a top of the sawhorse.

19. The sawhorse system of claim 16 , wherein each of the first side and the second side has a handle hole formed therein adjacent to the free top edge of each of the first side and the second side.

20. The sawhorse of claim 16 , wherein each of the channels is further configured to receive a cross member for a work surface in addition to one of the first strap and the second strap.
