Space saving holder for tools and miscellaneous items

Abstract

A rotatable space saving holder for storing tools and miscellaneous items including a main body defined by a base portion, a top portion, and four side walls, a plurality of holding members selectively positioned on the side walls for holding tools and miscellaneous items. The holder further includes rotary means so that the main body is rotatable, allowing a user access to all four side walls of the main body while stationary. A first end of an upper retainer member is attached to the top portion of the saver holder, and a second end of the retainer member, opposite the first end, is attached to a mounting surface. In application, the upper retainer member provides additional stability to the space saver holder in order to assist application of the space saver holder in a vertical orientation.

1 . A space saving holder for tools and miscellaneous items comprising:
 a main body comprising a base portion, a top portion, and four side walls disposed between said base and top portions,   a plurality of tool retaining members selectively provided on said side walls for holding tools, each of said tool retaining members include a hook member for additionally holding said tool, wherein said hook member is removable from said retaining member,   a rotary means such that said main body is rotatable,   an upper retainer member having a first end and a second end opposite said first end, wherein the first end is attached to said top portion of the holder, and said second end is attached to a mounting surface.   
   
   
       2 . The holder as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said upper retainer member is attached in perpendicular relationship with the vertical length of the space saver holder. 
   
   
       3 . The holder as recited in  claim 1 , wherein a length of said holder defines an axis, and wherein said upper retainer member is attached along said axis. 
   
   
       4 . The holder as recited in  claim 3 , wherein said side walls sit at an angle to vertical tilting toward said axis such that said main body forms a truncated pyramid. 
   
   
       5 . The holder as recited in  claim 3 , wherein said rotary mounting includes a central axial rod held between said upper retainer and said base. 
   
   
       6 . A space saving holder for tools comprising:
 a main body having a base portion, a top portion, and side walls disposed between the base and top portions,   each side wall having a plurality of selectively removable tool retaining members for holding tools, each of said tool holding members include a hook member for additionally holding said tool, wherein said hook member is removable from said retaining member,   a rotary mounting such that said main body is rotatable,   an upper retainer member having a first end and a second end opposite said first end, wherein the first end is attached to said top portion of the holder and said second end is attached to a mounting surface.   
   
   
       7 . The holder as recited in  claim 6 , wherein a length of said holder defines a vertical axis, and wherein said upper retainer member is attached to a central rod on said axis. 
   
   
       8 . The holder as recited in  claim 7 , wherein said upper retainer member is attached in perpendicular relationship with the central of the space saver holder. 
   
   
       9 . The holder as recited in  claim 8 , wherein said side walls sit at an angle to vertical tilting toward said axis such that said main body forms a truncated pyramid. 
   
   
       10 . The holder a recited in  claim 9 , wherein said central axial rod is held between said upper retainer and said base. 
   
   
       11 . The holder as recited in  claim 10 , wherein said tool holding members are rigid pins and said hooks are resilient material. 
   
   
       12 . A holder for tools comprising:
 a main body having a base portion, a top portion, and side walls disposed between the base and top portions,   each side wall having a plurality of holes and selectively removable tool retaining members for holding tools adapted to fit in said holes, each of said tool holding members include a hook member for additionally holding said tool wherein said hook member is removable from said retaining member,   a rotary mounting such that said main body is rotatable,   an upper retainer member having a first end and a second end opposite said first end, wherein the first end is attached to said top portion of the holder and said second end is attached to a surface wherein said retainer member having a length sufficient that said main body can rotate without interfering with said surface.   
   
   
       13 . The holder as recited in  claim 12 , wherein said side walls sit at an angle to vertical tilting toward a central axis of said main body such that said main body forms a truncated pyramid sitting on said base. 
   
   
       14 . The holder as recited in  claim 13 , wherein said upper retainer member is attached to a central rod on said axis. 
   
   
       15 . The holder as recited in  claim 14 , wherein said tool holding members are rigid pins and said hooks are resilient material. 
   
   
       16 . The holder as recited in  claim 15 , wherein said central axial rod is held between said upper retainer and said face.
