Abstract
The portable tool tray with wind blocker is a portable rectangular frame with a tray screen forming its bottom and also including a wind blocker that can be stored inside the tool tray or affixed in an upright position perpendicular to the tray to shield the worker from the wind. The wind blocker is stored inside the tray by being slid along tracks that are cut along the lower portion of the tray frame or being inserted within slots laterally defined within the sidewalls of the tray frame. The tray frame may have a faceplate that is of lesser height than the rest of the tray frame to allow the wind blocker to be slid into the tray frame. The wind blocker is equipped with sliders that allow the wind blocker to be slid along the tracks or into the slots defined within the sidewalls.
Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/560,696, filed Apr. 9, 2004.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a tool tray, and more particularly to a lightweight tool tray that is equipped with a windscreen that shields the worker when deployed and that is stowed in the tool tray when not in use.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Mariners working aboard commercial cargo vessels and tankers frequently must work on deck, sometimes in adverse weather conditions. Mariners, particularly mariners working as tankermen, spend much of their day on deck exposed to the elements. The confined nature of a ship means that it is essential for a tankerman to have a place to set his tools and the components of whatever piece of machinery or piping he is working on. Some solutions have included bags and buckets. Buckets present the problem that often the bucket cannot be placed underneath pipe manifolds because the piping gets in the way. Tool bags are not satisfactory, since they get oil and grease on them and are difficult to clean.
- Tankerman often use drip pans for many of the jobs they might be assigned on deck. The benefits of a drip pan are that the tools are easily accessible and can be confined in a designated area. Tools or disassembled components may be oily, and by placing them in the drip pan the tankerman can avoid making a mess. A drip pan or tool tray is particularly helpful on a ship where a tool or loose part has the possibility of rolling away due to the unstable nature of a ship at sea. A tool or part that gets away from the tankerman might fall below a grating, be difficult to retrieve, and exposes the tankerman to potential injury.
- Another aspect of work aboard a commercial cargo vessel or tanker is exposure to the wind. Many conventional solutions to this problem, such as hanging tarps or putting up windscreens, are ill suited for use aboard ship where workspaces are often confined. The relevant art does not reveal a tool tray that has a relatively small windscreen adapted to shield only one worker. There have been a variety of drip pans, tool trays, and screens for general purpose use and for particular applications with various advantages and disadvantages.

German Patent No. 3,200,283, published on Jul. 14, 1983, shows a collapsible grill that has an upright wire mesh portion that supports a spit.
- None of the above inventions and patents, taken either singly or in combination, is seen to describe the instant invention as claimed. Thus a portable tool tray with a wind blocker solving the aforementioned problems is desired.
- The portable tool tray with wind blocker is a portable rectangular frame with a tray screen forming its bottom and also including a wind blocker that can either be stored inside the tool tray or affixed in an upright position perpendicular to the tool tray to shield the worker from the wind. The wind blocker is stored inside the tool tray by being slid along tracks that are cut along the lower portion of the tray frame or by being inserted within slots laterally defined within sidewalls of the tray frame. The tray frame has a faceplate that is of lesser height than the rest of the tray frame to allow the wind blocker to be slid into the tray frame. The wind blocker is equipped with sliders that allow the wind blocker to be slid along the tracks cut into the tray frame or to be slid into the slots within the sidewalls.
- Accordingly, it is a principal object of the invention to provide the tankerman with an efficient, centralized location to keep his tools and disassembled components when working on a specific task.
- It is another object of the invention to provide a tankerman with the means to shield himself from wind and flying spray when working on deck.
- Still another object of the invention is to increase the productivity of a worker, particularly shipboard personnel, with a tool tray and attachable wind blocker that increases efficiency and also provides for safer working conditions.
- It is an object of the invention to provide improved elements and arrangements thereof for the purposes described which is inexpensive, dependable and fully effective in accomplishing its intended purposes.
- These and other objects of the present invention will become readily apparent upon further review of the following specification and drawings.
