Abstract

A wall mount for a tool box includes a base, the base being at least substantially planar and defining a volume dimensioned to receive a tool box, at least one support extending outwardly from a lower portion of the base, the at least one support constructed to at least substantially bear a weight of a tool box received by the wall mount, and at least one receiver extending outwardly from an upper portion of the base, the at least one receiver being constructed to engage a correspondingly dimensioned and positioned feature of a tool box to prevent outward rotation of a tool box about the at least one support.

Claims (17)

1. A wall mount for a tool box, the wall mount comprising:

a base, the base being at least substantially planar and defining a volume dimensioned to receive a tool box;

at least one support extending outwardly from a lower portion of the base, the at least one support constructed to at least substantially bear a weight of a tool box received by the wall mount, the at least one support being disposed at a first distance relative to a vertical centerline of the base; and

at least one receiver extending outwardly from an upper portion of the base, the at least one receiver being constructed to engage a correspondingly dimensioned and positioned feature of a tool box to prevent outward rotation of a tool box about the at least one support, the at least one receiver being disposed at a second distance relative to the vertical centerline of the base,

wherein the second distance is different than the first distance.

2. The wall mount according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one support comprises a first support and a second support, the first support being disposed adjacent a first lateral side of the base and the second support being disposed adjacent a second lateral side of the base relative to the vertical centerline of the base.

3. The wall mount according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one support comprises a retainer at a distal portion thereof.

4. The wall mount according to claim 3 , wherein the retainer of the at least one support comprises one or more upwardly extending sections or members, one or more recessed sections, or a combination of one or more upwardly extending sections or members and one or more recessed sections, to limit lateral movement of a base portion of a tool box received by the wall mount.

5. The wall mount according to claim 3 , wherein the receiver comprises a retainer at a distal portion thereof.

6. The wall mount according to claim 5 , wherein the retainer of the receiver comprises a movable downwardly extending member that is movable relative to the retainer to positively engage an upper portion of a tool box received by the wall mount.

7. The wall mount according to claim 6 , wherein the movable downwardly extending member comprises a movable pin.

8. The wall mount according to claim 6 , wherein the movable downwardly extending member comprises a male or female connector.

9. The wall mount according to claim 6 , wherein the movable downwardly extending member is biased away from the retainer by a resilient element or a spring.

10. The wall mount according to claim 1 , wherein the wall mount is a unitary structure formed from a polymer.

11. The wall mount according to claim 1 , wherein a height of the wall mount is greater than a length that the at least one support extends outwardly from the lower portion of the base.

12. The wall mount according to claim 1 , wherein a height of the wall mount is greater than a length that the at least one receiver extends outwardly from the upper portion of the base.

13. The wall mount according to claim 1 , wherein the second distance is greater than the first distance.
