Tool Box Wall Mount With Handle Receiver and Rotation Retainer
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing toolbox organizers lack efficient storage solutions for tools and accessories, particularly in a vertical form factor, and do not allow for easy mounting and demounting on inclined surfaces, limiting flexibility and organization.
Innovation Solution
A wall-mounted organizer system with a removable and stackable design, featuring a base with hinges and central connectors for secure closure, and a wall mount with receivers and retainers to accommodate handles and prevent motion, enabling easy attachment and detachment on various surfaces.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Volume of moving object
If tools and accessories are stored in traditional horizontal toolboxes, then storage capacity is adequate, but space efficiency and accessibility are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from traditional horizontal toolbox storage to a vertical wall-mounted organizer system. This dimensional change allows tools and accessories to be stored in a vertical orientation, improving space efficiency while maintaining accessibility through front-facing placement and removable containers.
Solution Approach 2:
The organizer is divided into multiple removable containers that can be independently accessed and removed. This segmentation allows users to access specific tools without moving others, improving accessibility while maintaining compact vertical storage.
2Stability of the object's composition
If the organizer is permanently mounted to the wall, then stability is improved, but flexibility and reconfigurability are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting system uses adjustable and removable connectors that allow the organizer to be dynamically repositioned or reconfigured. The wall mount includes adjustable arms and connectors that can be repositioned, providing both stability during use and flexibility for reconfiguration.
Solution Approach 2:
The wall-mounted organizer consists of separate, modular components including the main organizer body, removable containers, and adjustable wall mount connectors. This segmentation allows individual components to be adjusted, removed, or reconfigured while maintaining overall system stability.
3Ease of manufacture
If the organizer is designed for fixed mounting only, then installation simplicity is improved, but adaptability to different surfaces and locations is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The wall mount system is designed with universal adaptability to accommodate different wall surfaces and locations. The adjustable arms, connectors, and mounting brackets can be configured for various installation scenarios, providing both ease of installation and surface adaptability through a single multi-functional system.

AI summary
A wall mount for a tool box including an at least substantially planar base defining a surface area to receive a tool box and including a support, disposed at a lower portion of the base, to engage and at least partially support a tool box received by the wall mount. The base includes a receiver including a first portion extending outwardly by a first distance from a proximal portion at an upper portion of the base to a distal portion and including a retainer extending upwardly from the distal portion of the first portion, the first portion of the receiver constructed to receive a tool box handle and the retainer being constructed to prevent outward rotation of a tool box borne by the wall mount about the support and to inhibit forward movement of a handle of the tool box along the first portion of the receiver.
