Abstract
Abstract A hinged cover, of double wall construction, for a container. The container base is configured to carry a portable saw. This invention resides in a cover construction which permits the storage of a spare rotary saw blade. The blade is stored in such a manner that irregular random or jostling motion of the closed container, such as rough transport of the container over a period of time, cannot result in the teeth of the stored saw blade piercing or damaging the exterior wall of the cover.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
199 words
A cover for a container, the cover storing a rotary saw blade therein, the cover adapted to close the top of the container, the container adapted to carry a portable, rotary saw such as an electric saw, the cover being of a double wall construction, the inner wall of the cover having a flexible, projecting platform, a raised portion of the inner wall extending beyond the platform, a slot located at the junction of the periphery of the platform adjacent said raised portion of the inner wall, said raised portion carrying first abutment means for limiting the movement of the saw blade in at least one direction, second abutment means carried by the inner wall for limiting the movement of the saw blade in an opposite direction from said at least one direction, a portion of said platform being in surface to surface opposing relation with one surface portion of the saw blade, whereby the resiliency of the platform and the first and second abutments maintain the saw blade in stored position between the abutments and prevent the teeth of the saw blade from coming into contact with the outer wall of the cover during transport of the container.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
199 words
A cover for a container, the cover storing a rotary saw blade therein, the cover adapted to close the top of the container, the container adapted to carry a portable, rotary saw such as an electric saw, the cover being of a double wall construction, the inner wall of the cover having a flexible, projecting platform, a raised portion of the inner wall extending beyond the platform, a slot located at the junction of the periphery of the platform adjacent said raised portion of the inner wall, said raised portion carrying first abutment means for limiting the movement of the saw blade in at least one direction, second abutment means carried by the inner wall for limiting the movement of the saw blade in an opposite direction from said at least one direction, a portion of said platform being in surface to surface opposing relation with one surface portion of the saw blade, whereby the resiliency of the platform and the first and second abutments maintain the saw blade in stored position between the abutments and prevent the teeth of the saw blade from coming into contact with the outer wall of the cover during transport of the container.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
37 words
The cover of claim 1 wherein said raised portion of the inner wall is generally U-shape and wherein the major portion of the length of the slot is generally V-shape, in inner plane view of the cover.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
34 words
The cover of claim 2 wherein said first abutment means is defined by a trough formed in said U raised portion, the saw blade positioned within the legs and bight portion of the U.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
