Claims
- 1. A magnetic tool organizer having a plurality of periodic protuberances, each said periodic protuberance comprising:
- a pair of magnetically attracted members;
- a magnetically attracting material disposed between said magnetically attracted members;
- a magnetically attracting base member disposed on said magnetically attracting material; and
- a second magnetically attracting member sized for mounting said magnetic tool on a compatible surface.
- 2. The magnetic tool organizer of claim 1 in which said magnetically attracting material is substantially congruent to at least one of said magnetically attracted members of said pair.
- 3. The magnetic tool organizer of claim 1 in which said pair of magnetically attracted members and said magnetically attracting material are each substantially congruent to one another.
- 4. The magnetic tool organizer of claim 1 in which said protuberances are substantially rectangularly shaped.
- 5. The magnetic tool organizer of claim 1 further comprising spaces between respective periodic protuberances of a size and shape to accommodate a tool or portion thereof.
- 6. The magnetic tool organizer of claim 1 further comprising a base member adjacent to said protuberances.
- 7. The magnetic tool organizer of claim 6 in which said base member is substantially perpendicular to said pair of magnetically attracted members.
- 8. The magnetic tool organizer of claim 1 in which said magnetically attracted member is a metal.
- 9. The magnetic tool organizer of claim 1 further in which said magnetically attracted member is steel.
- 10. The magnetic tool organizer of claim 1 further in which at least some of said protuberances are spaced at non-uniform intervals one from another.
- 11. The magnetic tool organizer of claim 1 further in which all of said protuberances are spaced at non-uniform intervals one from another.
- 12. A magnetic tool organizer having two or more periodic protuberances, each of said periodic protuberances comprising a pair of magnetic members, a magnetically conductive material disposed between said pair of magnetic members and a magnetic base member sized to mount said magnetic tool organizer on a compatible surface.
- 13. The magnetic tool organizer of claim 12 further comprising a plurality of tools therein.
- 14. A magnetic tool organizer having a plurality of periodic protuberances, each said periodic protuberance comprising a pair of magnetically attracted members, and a magnetically attracting member disposed between said pair magnetically attracted members, said magnetic tool organizer further comprising a top body member having a body member aperture of a size and shape for accommodating at least one surface of a tool, and a magnetic segment having an aperture complimentary to at least part of said top body member aperture, said magnetic segment attached to said top body member.
