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;
a plurality of pockets attached the plurality of the sides, one of the pockets attached to each of the third side and the fourth side;
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;
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 free top edges of the first side and the second side are not otherwise connected;
a third strap attached at the first end edges of the first side and the second side, the third strap connecting the first side and the second side, wherein the third strap is spaced apart from the one of the pockets on the third side, and an opening is formed between the third strap and the one of the pockets attached to the third side, and the third strap is coplanar with the third side; and
a fourth strap attached at the second end edges of the first side and the second side, the fourth strap connecting the first side and the second side, wherein the fourth strap is spaced apart from the one of the pockets on the fourth side, and an opening is formed between the third strap and the one of the pockets attached to the fourth side, and the fourth strap is coplanar with the fourth side;
wherein the tool holder is configured to be disposed over a supporting structure and is movable between an expanded position and a collapsed position.

2. The tool holder of claim 1 , wherein the supporting structure is a sawhorse.

3. The tool holder of claim 1 , wherein the sides and the pockets are formed from a flexible thermoplastic material.

4. 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.

5. A sawhorse system, comprising:
a sawhorse; 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, a plurality of pockets attached the plurality of the sides, one of the pockets attached to each of the third side and the fourth side, 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, 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 free top edges of the first side and the second side are not otherwise connected, a third strap attached at the first end edges of the first side and the second side, the third strap connecting the first side and the second side, wherein the third strap is spaced apart from the one of the pockets on the third side, and an opening is formed between the third strap and the one of the pockets attached to the third side, and the third strap is coplanar with the third side, and a fourth strap attached at the second end edges of the first side and the second side, the fourth strap connecting the first side and the second side, wherein the fourth strap is spaced apart from the one of the pockets on the fourth side, and an opening is formed between the third strap and the one of the pockets attached to the fourth side, and the fourth strap is coplanar with the fourth side,
wherein the tool holder is selectively disposed over the sawhorse and is movable between an expanded position and a collapsed position.

6. The sawhorse system of claim 5 , wherein the sides and the pockets are formed from a flexible thermoplastic material.

7. The sawhorse system of claim 5 , wherein at least one protrusion on a leg of the sawhorse is disposed through one of the openings.
