Drill Cover Provisional Patent

The invention is a sheet-metal drill case designed to securely hold a handheld power drill while compensating for foam liner compression during repeated insertion and storage. The design utilizes a single sheet-metal flat pattern cut with specific dimensions and bent into a rigid threedimensional housing featuring sidewalls, a base, a reinforced bridge, and a top retention lip. The internal dimensions are calculated to account for ¼–½ inch of foam compression tolerance, enabling a snug but non-binding fit. The case provides enhanced rigidity, balanced load support, and long-term durability. The configuration includes bend lines, flanges, gussets, and a bridge that prevents deformation under weight. The invention may be constructed from 16–18 gauge steel or equivalent metals. Variations include different sizes, foam types, mount methods, and handle shapes. The design ensures consistent drill retention, prevents rattling, and withstands heavy workshop use.
