Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] This invention relates to a storage rack for saw blades. [0002] The care and organization of tools has been a constant goal of tool users. Many carrying cases have been developed for the storage and transport of saw blades. Such storage cases do not meet the needs of all users. Such carrying cases can be complex to use and expensive to make. OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION [0003] It is an object of the present invention to provide a storage rack for saw blades. [0004] It is a more particular object of the invention to provide a storage rack for circular saw blades. [0005] Another object of the present invention is to provide a saw blade rack that holds saw blades for easy access by a user. [0006] Another object of the present invention is to provide such a rack that may be mounted to a wall or other vertical support surface. [0007] A further, more specific, object of the present invention is to provide such a rack that is easy to mount to a wall or other vertical support surface. [0008] Yet another object of the present invention is to provide such a rack that is inexpensive to manufacture. [0009] These and other objects of the present invention will be apparent from the drawings and descriptions herein. Although it is believed that every object of the invention is attained in at least one embodiment .of the invention, there is not necessarily any one embodiment that achieves all of the objects of the invention. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0010] A rack for storing saw blades comprises, in accordance with the present invention, a body member having a rear side, and a front side and a plurality of parallel upwardly-open slots for receiving respective saw blades. The slots are spaced from one another by sufficient space to permit a user's fingers to grasp any selected one of the blades without touching adjacent ones of the blades. A plurality of coupling elements is provided on the rear side of the body member for removably mounting the body member to a vertical support surface. [0011] The slots are each defined by a front panel, a rear panel, and at least one bottom support. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the front panel and the rear panel are each semi-annular and the bottom support is a semi-cylindrical wall. Each slot is thus a semi-annular recess with a circular bottom surface engaging the cutting edge of the respective saw blade. [0012] In this embodiment of the invention, the front and rear panels of the slots are disposed in a cylindrical array so that the slots are disposed at a common vertical height when the rack is mounted to a vertical support surface. [0013] Pursuant to another feature of the present invention, the coupling elements include a plurality of hooks insertable through holes in a vertical tool rack panel. [0014] The body member may include a front panel having a substantially semicircular window. [0015] In a particularly inexpensive form of the invention, the body member and the coupling elements are integrally molded component parts. [0016] The coupling elements may include a plurality of flanges on the rear side of the body member, the flanges being provided with apertures (holes or slots) for receiving screws.
