Tool organizer

Abstract

A tool organizer for placing on a structure and supporting a variety of handheld tools and other small objects. The organizer has a narrow body with a central opening to fit over the supporting structure. A plurality of tool supporting members are detachably secured on a continuous side wall of the body; the tool supporting members having hook-shaped, loop-shaped and other suitable configurations. The tool organizer is particularly useful for placing on a lid of an oil evacuation drum and allowing suspension of pliers, wrenches and other similar tools thereon.

         9 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said body has a generally rectangular configuration.  
     
     
         10 . An organizer for hand-held tools suitable for positioning on a lid of a container, said tool organizer comprising: 
 a generally flat body having a central opening therein to accommodate a primary conduit secured to a lid of the container, said body having a continuous wall extending perpendicularly to an upper surface of said body; and    a plurality of support members detachably secured on said wall and extending outwardly from said body.    
     
     
         11 . The device of  claim 10 , wherein said body has a peripheral edge, said edge extending outwardly from an outer periphery of said lid.  
     
     
         12 . The device of  claim 10 , wherein said support members comprise a plurality of hook-shaped and loop-shaped members.  
     
     
         13 . The device of  claim 10 , wherein said body is provided with a secondary opening communicating with the central opening for accommodating a secondary conduit secured on said lid.  
     
     
         14 . The device of  claim 10 , wherein said body is provided with a secondary opening formed a distance from the central opening to accommodate a secondary conduit secured on said lid.  
     
     
         15 . The device of  claim 10 , wherein said body is provided with downwardly extending legs to level said body on an outwardly convex lid, said legs having a lower portion shaped to fit on an upper surface of said lid.  
     
     
         16 . The device of  claim 10 , wherein said body has a ring-shaped configuration.  
     
     
         17 . The device of  claim 10 , wherein said body has a generally rectangular configuration.  
     
     
         18 . An organizer for hand-held tools suitable for positioning on a lid of an evacuation oil drum, said tool organizer comprising: 
 a generally flat body having a central opening therein to accommodate a primary conduit secured to the lid, said body having a continuos wall extending perpendicularly to an upper surface of said body; and    a plurality of support members detachably secured on said wall and extending outwardly from said body, said support members having hook-shaped and loop-shaped configurations.    
     
     
         19 . The device of  claim 18 , further comprising a secondary opening formed in said body to accommodate a secondary conduit secured on said lid.  
     
     
         20 . The device of  claim 18 , wherein said body is provided with downwardly extending legs to level said body on an outwardly convex lid, said legs having a lower portion shaped to fit on an upper surface of said lid.
