Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A tool storage device system includes a base and a tool storage container removably coupled to the base. The tool storage container slides in a first direction relative to the base to attach the tool storage container to the base, and the tool storage container slides in a second direction, opposite the first direction, relative to the base to remove the tool storage container from the base.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A cooler configured to be removably coupled to a component of a storage device system comprising: a body comprising a bottom side; a lid coupled to the body, the body and lid collectively defining a storage compartment, the body and lid formed from an insulating material configured to insulate a temperature of the storage compartment; a plurality of projections extending from the bottom side, each of the plurality of projections includes two channels on each side of the respective projection, the plurality of projections configured to couple to a plurality of connection recesses of a component of a storage device system; and a latch member slidingly movable with respect to the body, wherein when the latch member is engaged with a locking aperture of the component of the storage device system the plurality of projections cannot be decoupled from the plurality of connection recesses of the component of the storage device system. 2. The cooler of claim 1 , wherein for each of the plurality of projections, each channel of the two channels includes an open end and a closed end opposite the open end. 3. The cooler of claim 2 , wherein for each of the plurality of projections, the closed end of each channel is closer to the latch member than the open end.
