Problems solved by technology

Transportation of air compressor components and other materials necessary to perform a particular job is often cumbersome due to the lack of a storage compartment on the air compressor assembly.
Such limitation causes the user to have to carry components separate from the air compressor assembly as well as find storage space for such components once at the worksite.
Further, sinc

Abstract

The present invention is directed to a portable air compressor assembly including a tool carrier. In an embodiment, the portable air compressor assembly includes an air tank for storing compressed air and a compressor for supplying compressed air to the air tank. Further, a frame is coupled to the air tank and compressor providing an area for which the air tank and compressor may be mounted. In such embodiment, a pair of wheels are pivotally mounted to the frame allowing for inclined transportation of the air compressor assembly. In an embodiment, the tool carrier assembly includes a pan support coupled to the frame for providing a support surface for an air compressor accessory and work material. In addition, a tool support is coupled to the pan support for providing an additional support surface for the air compressor accessory and work material. The tool support includes at least one strap.
