Manufactured by Moody Machine Products Co., Inc. - Providence RI
Assigned to Moody Machine Products Co., Inc. - Providence RI

"The space provided by the cover and the relative position of the tools in the base and within the cover is such that the tools cannot leave the sockets in which they are positioned in the base when they engage the cover, which limits their movement. The curved end of the cover also directs the tools toward the center which aligns them with their sockets and makes it simple for the tools to slide back into the sockets when the package is placed upright from its inverted position." Moody Machine Products produced a variety of small tools in sets. The package in this patent is illustrated in a 1969 catalog page showing sets including screwdrivers, open end and socket wrenches, drill bits and threading taps.
