Abstract:

A tool rack has a vertical mounting member securable to a vertical surface of a support structure, such as a wall. A horizontal support wall projects forwardly from a lower portion of the mounting member. The support wall is bifurcated and has a vertical opening extending therethrough configured to receive the handle of a tool to allow the head of the tool to be moved into a position in which it is supported by a top surface of the support wall. The rack has side walls extending downwardly from opposite side edge portions of the support wall. Each side wall is substantially coextensive with the support wall in a forward direction and has a rear vertical edge that is a continuation of a rear edge of the mounting member to provide a vertically continuous line of support above and below the support wall.
