FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The invention relates to an air compressor tool kit for providing ready access to air compressors for low pressure, high volume inflation, and to higher pressure low volume inflation and accessories, and to parts for such a kit, in a single location. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Air compressors are known to be required for various purposes. In some cases, they may be required for inflating high volume, low pressure items such as inflatable boats, tents, mattresses and the like. In these cases, a compressor will be required to supply a high volume of air at low air pressure so as to provide inflation in a reasonably short time span, with a minimum of manual effort. [0003] In other cases, air compressors are required for higher air pressures but lower volumes. These cases may include inflating tires of vehicles, balls used for sports games such as soccer, football, basketball and the like. Both of these functions are often required around the home where it is not always possible to access a large, expensive air compressor installation meeting all of these needs. Accordingly, for house use, it has been proposed in the past to provide two forms of air compressors. One provides a low pressure, high volume supply and the other which supplies a high pressure, low volume supply of air. The two compressors were designed differently for their particular purposes. [0004] Preferably, such compressors are operated by electrical power. Preferably the electrical power will be supplied from a battery source, a re-chargeable battery being particularly suitable. Such batteries in common experience, must be inserted into the tool for use and must be removed and placed on a charging set for re-charging. Such battery-operated compressor tools are more suitable for domestic use purposes and can be manufactured in large quantities at lower costs so that they may be available at a price which is affordable by the home owner. Such air compressor hand tools are also useful since they are portable and may be carried to various locations. Ideally they might be useful for holiday travelling, camping and fishing or inflating a tire on the road. [0005] There are, however, various disadvantages with what has been available in the past. In the first place, for complete compressor applications where two portable compressors were required. Storage of these compressors was not always secure or convenient for a home owner. The re-charging of batteries required a re-charger which must also be stored. One battery, or the other, would be on charge at one time. In addition to these factors, the portability of such units have lent themselves to use away from the home, as suggested above, for use on vacations or travelling holidays such as camping. However, the use of the battery charger is not always possible in remote locations. It is therefore desirable for such portable compressors to be powered by alternate means such as the electrical supply system of a vehicle. In addition, it is desirable that such portable compressors shall be provided with a variety of accessories, by means of which they can be used for various different articles. For example, inflation of camping or floating mattresses may require one type of nozzle and the inflation of vehicle tires may require an adaptor connecting to the tire valve. The inflation of a recreational sports ball may require the use of a needle. Other forms of adaptors may be required for various other purposes. [0006] All of these accessories and adaptors may be provided, but the storage and retrieval of them at any given moment may be a problem for the home owner. BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0007] With a view to overcoming the various disadvantages mentioned above, the invention comprises an air compressor tool kit for providing a low pressure, high volume portable compressor and a high pressure, low volume portable compressor unit and a single stand for these two compressors, both compressors having rechargeable batteries, and providing electrical re-charging connections within the stand for each compressor and providing electrical re-charging connection in the battery of each compressor, so that when the two compressors are placed in position in the stand, they may both be continuously on charge simultaneously and ready for use. [0008] It is a further and related objective of the invention, to provide such a kit with a set of accessories and adaptors which allows these two compressors to function for a wide variety of different applications and having recesses in the stand for storing such accessories. [0009] It is a further and related objective of the invention to provide such a kit and incorporating an adaptor for supplying power from a vehicle electrical system, which can be connected to either of the compressors. [0010] Preferably, in this case, an electrical adaptor will be provided for connection to the vehicle's electrical system and the electrical adaptor will be capable of fitting into one or other of the compressors and replacing the re-chargable battery unit normally contained within the compressor. [0011] Preferably, the re-chargable batteries of the two compressors will have exposed terminals for re-charging and the stand will have electrical terminals adapted to inter-connect with the terminals on the two batteries of the two compressors simultaneously so that they may both be kept on charge permanently while stored on the stand. [0012] Preferably, the stand will be provided with supports by means of which it may be stood at a convenient angle on a table and which supports may be interchangeably attached to the stand, for mounting it at a convenient angle on a wall. Preferably, the attachments will be the same attachments suitable for both table and wall mount purposes. [0013] The various features of novelty which characterize the invention are pointed out with more particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure. For a better understanding of the invention, its operating advantages and specific objects attained by its use, reference should be made to the accompanying drawings and descriptive matter in which there are illustrated and described preferred embodiments of the invention.
