Benefits of technology

[0007]This need is met by the instant invention to be described. The invention is an elegant combination of adjustable elements that allows the user to assemble a combination of a rotatable large tool carrier and small hand tool storage table that can be attached to a workbench, set on a floor, attached to a ceiling, and because of telescopic tubing, is adjustable in height.

Problems solved by technology

The space utilization of these methods is not optimum, and valuable space in an already crowded garage or tool shed that could be used for other purposes is wasted.
Again, this would be inappropriate for a garden implement-retaining device.
While an improvement, this approach is limited to situations in which there is a section of clear wall available for mounting the support bracket or a strong low level beam available overhead in an advantageous position in the garage or tool shed.

Embodiment Construction

[0021]FIG. 1, numeral 100, shows the elements of the instant invention in a floor model. Concentric tubes 110 are of two different diameters and one slides into the other to create a telescopic shaft. A first table 120 and second table 125 are shown that have a central hole for insertion of the tubes of the telescopic shaft. Both tables are rotatable. Flange spindles 108 and 130 are used to position the first and second table in place on the shaft. In addition a stop collar 135 fits over the telescopic shaft to control the extension length of the shaft. One possible mobile floor stand design 115, with legs 140 and leg levelers 145 accepts one end of the telescopic shaft. A decorative end cap 104 is used on the top of the telescopic shaft. This combination of tables, tubes, flange spindles, and stop collar can be used to generate a variety of configurations for storage possibilities for a floor mounted unit.

[0022]FIG. 2 shows the two tables from FIG. 1 in more detail and from differe...

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. provisional application Ser. No. 61 / 123,720 filed Apr. 10, 2008 by the present inventors.BACKGROUND[0002]The American garage has become a disorganized storage shed for lawn and garden tools, assorted hand and power tools, as well as sports equipment.[0003]A typical approach to this issue has been to stack these things in a corner, where they attract a colony of assorted arachnids, insects, and sometimes rodents. Alternately they are lined along walls on hooks, nails and clips. Many implement handles contain a hole or other attachment means which allows the implement to be secured to these nails or hooks.[0004]The space utilization of these methods is not optimum, and valuable space in an already crowded garage or tool shed that could be used for other purposes is wasted. And in order to access the tools stored along a wall, one must approach the tools directly beneath their placement on the wall...
