发明名称 Illuminated tool organizer apparatus and method
摘要 An illuminated tool organizer is provided to illuminate tools in dark or dimly lighted areas. For this purpose, the tool organizer is arranged for receiving and securing a flashlight, or other portable light source, in a position to illuminate portions of the tool organizer. The illuminated tool organizer includes an upper rack that defines a plurality of openings to receive tools for supporting the same from the upper rack. In addition, a lower base defining a base platform from which to support tools thereon is disposed below the upper rack. To fix the upper rack in spaced relation to the lower base, a support structure is provided to extend upward from the lower base to the upper rack to fix the same at a predetermined elevation above the lower base. In order to receive and secure a flash light in either a horizontal or vertical position, a cradle is disposed adjacent the upper rack. The cradle is formed to define an opening for receiving a flashlight in an upright substantially vertical position. With this arrangement, the flashlight is movable from a first stored position where portions thereof extend downward through the opening, to a second operating position where the flashlight is supported in an upright position, above the upper rack, such that light from the illuminating end of the flashlight is directed downward to illuminate the region between the upper rack and the lower base.
