Tool carrier having rotatable cover

Abstract

A tool carrier includes a base having a number of cavities formed in the upper portion, or a number of depressions formed in the outer peripheral portion for receiving tool members. A cover is rotatably attached onto the base, and includes an orifice selectively aligned with either of the cavities of the base, to allow the tool members to be selectively engaged into or disengaged from the cavities of the base. The cover further includes a passage selectively aligned with either of the depressions of the base, to allow the tool members to be engaged into or disengaged from the depressions of the base.

1 . A tool carrier comprising: 
 a base including an upper portion having a plurality of cavities formed therein for receiving tool members, and    a cover rotatably attached onto said base, and including an orifice formed therein, and selectively aligned with either of said cavities of said base, to allow the tool members to be engaged into or disengaged from said cavities of said base.    
   
   
       2 . The tool carrier as claimed in  claim 1  further comprising a latch rotatably securing said cover to said base.  
   
   
       3 . The tool carrier as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein said base includes at least one lock notch formed therein, said cover includes a bore formed therein, said latch includes at least one hook extended through said bore of said cover and engaged with said at least one lock notch of said base, to rotatably secure said cover to said base.  
   
   
       4 . The tool carrier as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein said cover includes a peripheral recess formed therein, said latch includes a peripheral flange rotatably engageable in said peripheral recess of said cover.  
   
   
       5 . The tool carrier as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said base includes an outer peripheral portion having a plurality of depressions formed therein for receiving tool members, and said cover includes a passage formed therein and selectively aligned with either of said depressions of said base, to allow the tool members to be engaged into or disengaged from said depressions of said base.  
   
   
       6 . The tool carrier as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said base includes a space formed therein for receiving tool elements, and said cover includes an opening formed therein and selectively aligned with said space of said base, to allow the tool elements to be engaged into or disengaged from said space of said base.  
   
   
       7 . The tool carrier as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein said cover includes a passage formed therein and communicating with said opening thereof.  
   
   
       8 . The tool carrier as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said base includes a plurality of slits formed therein, said cover includes a projection engageable with either of said slits of said base, to align said orifice of said cover with either of said cavities of said base.  
   
   
       9 . The tool carrier as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said base includes a chamber formed therein for receiving a tool element therein.  
   
   
       10 . The tool carrier as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein said base includes at least one retainer bulge extended into said chamber thereof, and having a slot formed therein to receive the tool element.  
   
   
       11 . The tool carrier as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said base includes a flap pivotally secured thereto and rotatable into said chamber thereof.  
   
   
       12 . The tool carrier as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein said base includes two retainer brackets, said flap includes a pole pivotally secured between said retainer brackets, to rotatably secure said flap to said base.  
   
   
       13 . The tool carrier as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein said flap includes a groove formed therein to define two resilient blades and to apply a resilient biasing force to attach said flap to said base.  
   
   
       14 . A tool carrier comprising: 
 a base including an outer peripheral portion having a plurality of depressions formed therein for receiving tool members, and    a cover rotatably attached onto said base, and including an passage formed therein, and selectively aligned with either of said depressions of said base, to allow the tool members to be engaged into or disengaged from said depressions of said base.    
   
   
       15 . The tool carrier as claimed in  claim 14  further comprising a latch rotatably securing said cover to said base.  
   
   
       16 . The tool carrier as claimed in  claim 14 , wherein said base includes an upper portion having a plurality of cavities formed therein for receiving tool members, and said cover includes an orifice formed therein and selectively aligned with either of said cavities of said base, to allow the tool members to be engaged into or disengaged from said cavities of said base.  
   
   
       17 . The tool carrier as claimed in  claim 14 , wherein said base includes a space formed therein for receiving tool elements, and said cover includes an opening formed therein and selectively aligned with said space of said base, to allow the tool elements to be engaged into or disengaged from said space of said base.  
   
   
       18 . The tool carrier as claimed in  claim 14 , wherein said base includes a plurality of slits formed therein, said cover includes a projection engageable with either of said slits of said base, to align said passage of said cover with said depressions of said base.  
   
   
       19 . The tool carrier as claimed in  claim 14 , wherein said base includes a chamber formed therein, and includes a flap pivotally secured thereto and rotatable into said chamber thereof.
