Abstract

Various embodiments of a modular tool storage system include one or more storage devices. One embodiment has a support including a base defining a back surface, an opposing front surface, and one or more sidewalls extending from the front surface. The front surface and the one or more sidewalls defining a containment area. The support includes coupling devices, such as male couplers, to couple the support to other components within the modular storage system.

Claims (14)

1. A support mechanism comprising:

a base defining a back surface and an opposing front surface;

one or more sidewalls extending from the front surface, the front surface and the one or more sidewalls defining a containment area;

a magnet coupled to the base;

a support structure extending from the back surface; and

a first protrusion extending circumferentially around and outward from a radially outward facing side surface of the support structure, the first protrusion offset from and above the back surface.

2. The support mechanism of claim 1 , comprising at least three protrusions including the first protrusion, each of the at least three protrusions extending circumferentially around and radially outward from the radially outward facing side surface of the support structure, and each of the at least three protrusions offset from and above the back surface.

3. The support mechanism of claim 1 , wherein the support structure further comprises:

a first surface facing the back surface of the base;

a second surface opposing the first surface;

wherein the side surface extends between and connects the first surface and the second surface.

4. The support mechanism of claim 3 , wherein the first protrusion is located on the support structure between the first surface and the second surface.

5. The support mechanism of claim 1 , wherein the first protrusion extends in a circumferential direction.

6. The support mechanism of claim 1 , wherein the first protrusion is offset from a back surface of the support structure.
