Drill holding case structure

Claim 2

A drill holding case structure, having in combination a housing having a cover, a substantially U-shaped member having side members, means conecting said side members, a plurality of drill holding trays pivotally mounted into said U-shaped member, a pair of spaced channels formed in said housing in transversely opposed relation, a pair of ears projecting from said U-shaped member disposed into said channels, and interengaging stationary flange members carried by said cover and said U-shaped member whereby movement of said cover raises and lowers said U-shaped member and said trays therein.

Claim 3

The structure of claim 1, wherein said interengaging means consists of a pair of flanges formed of said cover interengaging a pair of flanges formed of said U-shaped member.

Claim 4

The structure of claim 1, including a drill storage chamber having a removable cover formed within said housing.

Claim 5

The structure of claim 1, wherein said interengaging means consists of a pair of inwardly angled portions of said cover engaging outwardly angled portions of adjacent portions of said U-shaped member.

Claim 6

A drill holding case structure, having in combination a housing having a chamber therein, a substantially U-shaped member disposed at one end of said chamber, said member having spaced side walls and a bottom wall, a plurality of drill holding trays disposed into said U-shaped member to tilt forwardly thereof, a pair of opposed vertical channels having open facing sides formed in said chamber at one end thereof rearwardly of said U-shaped member, rearward projections extending from the rear of the bottom wall of said U-shaped member disposed into said channels, a cover for said housing, said cover having depending side walls, an inwardly turned flange formed at each of said side walls of said cover, an outwardly turned flange formed at each of said side walls of said U-shaped member, said rearward projections are arranged and constructed to move upwardly within said channels upon the forward bottom edge of said U-shaped member engaging the underlying surface of said chamber whereby said U-shaped member is tilted forwardly horizontally, said first and second mentioned flanges respectively interengaging, whereby when said cover is raised, said trays are tilted to an upward accessible position and when said cover is lowered, said trays are tilted to a downward storage position in said housing.

Claim 7

A drill holding case structure, having in combination a housing having a chamber therein, a substantially U-shaped member disposed at one end of said chamber, said member having spaced side walls and a bottom wall, a plurality of drill holding trays disposed into said U-shaped member to tilt forwardly thereof, a pair of opposed vertical channels having open facing sides formed in said chamber at one end thereof rearwardly of said U-shaped member, rearward projections extending from the rear of the bottom wall of said U-shaped member disposed into said channels, a cover for said housing, said cover having depending side walls, an inwardly turned flange formed at each of said side walls of said cover, an outwardly turned flange formed at each of said side walls of said U-shaped member, said rearward projections are arranged and constructed to move upwardly within said channels upon the forward bottom edge of said U-shaped member engaging the underlying surface of said chamber whereby said U-shaped member is tilted forwardly horizontally, said first and second mentioned flanges respectively interengaging, whereby when said cover is raised, said trays are tilted to an upward accessible position and when said cover is lowered, said trays are tilted to a downward storage position in said housing.

Claim 8

The structure of claim 1, including a stepped preformed cover member disposed within said housing remote from said drill holding trays, said cover member having a depending front wall having a projecting flange, having a top wall and a vertically extending rear wall overlying the adjacent end wall of said housing, forming a chamber thereunder, said front wall and flange engaging the bottom wall of said housing, and means removably securing said cover member.
