Abstract

Abstract A generally rectangular backing member is formed of a leather material and provided with a square, leather cover member, which is emplaced over the backing member and sewn thereto to overlie a portion thereof. Three sides of the cover member lie coextensively with three corresponding sides of the backing member and the fourth side of the cover member extends across the surface of the backing member between the side edges along an angular path with one side being substantially longer than the other side. The cover member is stitched to the backing member around the edges thereof, and includes a plurality of spaced or parallel stitch lines which connect the two members in such a way as to form a plurality of separate pockets therein. The backing member folds over and snaps closed to provide a sturdy, long-lasting case for hexagonal bar-type wrenches of differing size.
