Combination workshop and tool storage cabinet

Abstract

A combination workshop and tool storage cabinet including a main compartment having a top wall, a bottom wall, a back wall, opposed side walls and an open front. The open front is divided into an upper section and a lower section by a horizontal divider. An inner surface of the back wall and sidewalls within the upper section is defined by a peg board. A pair of side compartments is coupled with respect to the opposed side walls of the main compartment. Each of the side compartments has a top wall, a bottom wall, a back wall, opposed side walls and an open front. The opposed side walls include an interior side wall hingedly coupled with the opposed side walls of the main compartment. The open front is divided into an upper section and a lower section by a horizontal divider. The lower section has an elongated lateral slot formed therein. A pair of side tables is adapted for coupling with the pair of side compartments.

What is claimed as being new and desired to be protected by Letters Patent of the United States is as follows:

         2 . A combination workshop and tool storage cabinet for allowing a person to have a complete workshop that requires a reduced amount of space comprising, in combination: 
 a main compartment having a top wall, a bottom wall, a back wall, opposed side walls and an open front, the open front being divided into an upper section and a lower section by a horizontal divider, an inner surface of the back wall and sidewalls within the upper section being defined by a peg board;    a pair of side compartments coupled with respect to the opposed side walls of the main compartment, each of the side compartments having a top wall, a bottom wall, a back wall, opposed side walls and an open front, the opposed side walls including an interior side wall hingeably coupled with the opposed side walls of the main compartment, the open front being divided into an upper section and a lower section by a horizontal divider, the lower section having an elongated lateral slot formed therein; and    a pair of side tables adapted for coupling with the pair of side compartments.    
     
     
         3 . The combination workshop and tool storage cabinet as set forth in claim two, wherein the open front of the lower section of the main compartment has a pair of doors hingeably coupled thereto, the lower section having a shelf disposed therein.  
     
     
         4 . The combination workshop and tool storage cabinet as set forth in claim two, wherein the bottom walls of the main compartment and the side compartments each have four locking swivel casters disposed thereon.  
     
     
         5 . The combination workshop and tool storage cabinet as set forth in claim two, wherein the lower sections of the side compartments each have a plurality of slidable drawers disposed therein.  
     
     
         6 . The combination workshop and tool storage cabinet as set forth in claim two, wherein the back walls of the side compartments each have corresponding locking hardware thereon.  
     
     
         7 . The combination workshop and tool storage cabinet as set forth in claim five, wherein the side tables are defined by an elongated top having an inner edge and an outer edge, the inner edge being receivable within the elongated lateral slot of the side compartment.  
     
     
         8 . The combination workshop and tool storage cabinet as set forth in claim seven, wherein the elongated top has a foldable inverted U-shaped leg coupled beneath the elongated top, inwardly of the outer edge.  
     
     
         9 . The combination workshop and tool storage cabinet as set forth in claim seven, wherein the outer edge of the elongated top has a lip extending outwardly therefrom.  
     
     
         10 . The combination workshop and tool storage cabinet as set forth in claim seven, wherein the elongated top has an opening therethrough inwardly of the inner edge, the opening having a cover member removably positioned therein.
