Roof tool box

Abstract

A knockdown roof tool box for use by roofers, painters, homeowners, and others who need to work on inclined or pitched surfaces is presented. The roof tool box contains a positioning mechanism which is fully adjustable with respect to almost any inclined surface. The roof tool box is made up of a large central tray portion, a pair of support legs, and a pair of adjustable pin assemblies. In assembled position, the tray support legs are positioned perpendicularly to the sides of the tray. The tray is pivotally hinged to the support legs by a removable wing nut and bolt assembly. The adjustable pin assembly includes movable pins, which are insertable through a series of arcuate aligned holes provided in the support legs allowing the tray to be pivotally and selectively positioned at different attitudes with respect to the roof.

I claim:  
     
         1 . A knockdown, adjustable roof tool box comprising: 
 a generally rectangular tray for supporting a plurality of construction elements thereon; and    two parallel tray support legs removably and pivotally connected to said tray and selectively adjustable for fixing the angular orientation of said tray relative to said two support legs for positioning said tray on an inclined surface.    
     
     
         2 . The adjustable roof tool box of  claim 1 , wherein each said tray support leg comprises a base and a upstanding wall, said upstanding wall extending in perpendicular relationship from said base and including a slot disposed thereon, said slot being dimensioned for the reception of a hand.  
     
     
         3 . The adjustable roof tool box of  claim 1 , wherein said tray includes a base and upstanding walls and at least one partition between said upstanding walls to form a plurality of compartments for selectively storing and providing support for construction elements.  
     
     
         4 . The adjustable roof tool box of  claim 1 , wherein said tray is pivotally connected to each said tray support leg by a removable wing nut.  
     
     
         5 . The adjustable roof tool box of  claim 1 , wherein said each tray support leg comprises a base and an upstanding wall, said upstanding wall extending in perpendicular relationship from said base and including a slot disposed thereon as a handle, each said support leg including a pivot hole and a plurality of symmetrically aligned adjustment holes with the adjustment holes disposed in spaced curvature with respect to the pivot hole on each support leg adjacent a front edge thereof, said adjustment holes being utilized for selectively adjusting the angular orientation of said tray.  
     
     
         6 . The adjustable roof tool box of  claim 5 , wherein said tray is selectively attached to each support leg by a removable adjustment pin.  
     
     
         7 . An adjustable roof tool box comprising: 
 a generally rectangular tray for supporting construction elements storably received thereon;    a pair of parallel, symmetrically spaced, and selectively adjustable support legs, said support legs having a pair of symmetrically aligned pivot holes and a plurality of symmetrically aligned pairs of adjustment holes with the adjustment holes disposed in spaced curvature with respect to the pivot hole on each support leg adjacent a front edge thereof, said tray being pivotally supported between said pair of support legs.    
     
     
         8 . The adjustable roof tool box of  claim 7 , wherein each said support leg comprises a base and an upstanding wall, said upstanding wall extending in perpendicular relationship from said base and including at least one slot disposed thereon.  
     
     
         9 . The adjustable roof tool box of  claim 7 , wherein said tray includes a base and upstanding walls and at least one partition between said upstanding walls to form a plurality of compartments for selectively storing and providing level support for said construction elements.  
     
     
         10 . The adjustable roof tool box of  claim 7 , wherein said tray is pivotally connected to said pair of support legs by removable wing nuts.  
     
     
         11 . The adjustable roof tool box of  claim 7 , wherein each of said pair of support legs comprises a base and an upstanding wall, said upstanding wall extending in perpendicular relationship from said base and including at least one slot disposed thereon for use as a handle.  
     
     
         12 . The adjustable roof tool box of  claim 11 , further comprising a pad made from a polymeric material having a high coefficient of friction attached to the base of each said support leg in order to prevent the tool box from sliding on a roof surface.
