Abstract

An attractive fabric covered fitted tool case includes a pair of platform members each having a multiplicity of pockets in their top wall to receive a multiplicity of tools, and relatively rigid support members under the platform members to provide structural support therefor. An elongated base sheet underlies the platform members and extends therebetween to provide a spacer section about which the platform members may be folded into abutting relationship in the closed position of the case. A fabric cover is provided on the outer surface of the base sheet and a releasable closure secures the tool case in closed position. The tool case may additionally include one or more pockets on its principal faces, and one of the pockets may include a pair of hanging rings which are pivotally mounted within a pocket so as to be able to be pivoted from a concealed position within the pocket to an exposed position for hanging the tool case.
