Abstract

A tool storage receive includes a container and a tool rack. The container includes a jar defining a first receiving portion therein and including a first opening intercommunicating the first receiving portion with the outside. The tool rack includes a base on an end thereof and a tool hanger rack on another end thereof. The base is disengageably mounted to the first opening. The tool hanger rack is received in the first receiving portion. When the base is disengaged from the first opening, the tool hanger rack is removable out of the first receiving portion. Thus, the tool storage device can properly receive tools by the above structure.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A tool storage device comprising:
a container comprising a jar defining a first receiving portion therein, a first opening intercommunicating the first receiving portion with an outside, and a first closure cap configured to be in threading connection with an end of the jar and to close the first opening, wherein the first closure cap comprises a first coupling portion and a first closure portion, wherein the first closure cap is coupled with the jar by the first coupling portion and closes the first opening by the first closure portion, wherein the first closure cap comprises a second receiving portion on a side thereof opposite to the jar and a second opening facing away from the jar and intercommunicating the second receiving portion with the outside, wherein the container further comprises a second closure cap, and wherein the second closure cap is configured to be in threading connection with an end of the first closure cap opposite to the jar and closes the second opening; and
a tool rack comprising a base on an end thereof and a tool hanger rack on another end thereof, wherein the base is disengageably mounted to the first opening, wherein the tool hanger rack is received in the first receiving portion, and wherein when the base is disengaged from the first opening, the tool hanger rack is removable out of the first receiving portion.

2. The tool storage device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second closure cap comprises an annular protrusion delimiting a patch receiving groove, wherein when the second closure cap is coupled with the first closure cap, the annular protrusion is on a side of the second closure cap adjacent to the first closure cap, and wherein the container comprises a patch cover configured to be in threading connection with the annular protrusion and to close the patch receiving groove.

3. The tool storage device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the second closure cap comprises a second coupling portion and a second closure portion, wherein when the first closure cap disengages from the jar, the second closure cap is capable of coupling with the jar by the second coupling portion and closing the first opening by the second closure portion, and wherein the annular protrusion is located on a side of the second closure portion adjacent to the jar.

4. The tool storage device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first opening is circular in cross section and comprises an inner periphery having a first width in a diametric direction, wherein the base comprises a flange on an outer periphery thereof, wherein the flange comprises a second width in the diametric direction of the first opening, wherein the first width is smaller than the second width, wherein the base is configured to couple with the first opening by insertion and to abut the flange against an end face on a side of the first opening opposite to the first receiving portion.

5. The tool storage device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the base comprises a receiving groove, and wherein the receiving groove is recessed from an end of the base opposite to the tool hanger rack and extends toward the tool hanger rack.

6. The tool storage device as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the end of the base opposite to the tool hanger rack comprises a placing face which is planar and surrounds the receiving groove.
