Abstract:

A toolbox, designed to be used as part of a set of similar toolboxes, which has a tongue and groove along the top edge of both sides and a mirror image tongue and groove along the bottom edge of both sides. Two toolboxes made according to the invention can be coupled together by slidably joining the upper tongue and groove of one with the lower tongue and groove of the second. The two toolboxes are thereby stacked and can be handled as a single unit. Additional toolboxes can be added to the stack in any order the user desires. A cover is also provided which mates with the upper tongue and groove and also provides a centrally mounted top handle. A rack mount is provided which mates with the lower tongue and groove to provide a stationary mounting for one or more toolboxes either in a workshop or a vehicle.
