Carrying Case

Abstract

A carrying case is provided for insertion of a caddy in each of a plurality of recesses formed into a compressible lining in a base of the case. The recesses are formed in a shape complimentary to the exterior of an inserted caddy and may be formed slightly smaller than the exterior of the caddy to provide a compressed engagement.

 a ledge having a first end communicating with an edge of said first portion of said recess, and having a second side communicating with a second portion of said recess; 
 said second portion of said recess having a perimeter larger than said first portion of said recess; and 
 said ledge defining a width of an air gap between a wall defining said second portion of said recess, and said exterior surface of said caddy. 
 
     
     
         3 . The carrying case of  claim 1  additionally comprising:
 curved portions positioned in said plurality of recesses in positions to compressively engage corners on said exterior surface of a said caddy. 
 
     
     
         4 . The carrying case of  claim 2  additionally comprising:
 curved portions positioned in said second portions of each said recess, said curved portions in positions to compressively engage corners on said exterior surface of a said caddy inserted into a said first portion of a said recess. 
 
     
     
         5 . The carrying case of  claim 1  additionally comprising:
 proximity sensors positioned in said recesses and configured to sense a said caddy therein; 
 each said proximity sensor activating an alarm should said cover be pivoted closed upon said base of said case, without a said caddy engaged in a said recess previously occupied by a said caddy. 
 
     
     
         6 . The carrying case of  claim 2  additionally comprising:
 proximity sensors positioned in said recesses and configured to sense a said caddy therein; 
 each said proximity sensor activating an alarm should said cover be pivoted closed upon said base of said case, without a said caddy engaged in a said recess previously occupied by a said caddy. 
 
     
     
         7 . The carrying case of  claim 3  additionally comprising:
 proximity sensors positioned in said recesses and configured to sense a said caddy therein; 
 each said proximity sensor activating an alarm should said cover be pivoted closed upon said base of said case, without a said caddy engaged in a said recess previously occupied by a said caddy. 
 
     
     
         8 . The carrying case of  claim 4  additionally comprising:
 proximity sensors positioned in said recesses and configured to sense a said caddy therein; 
 each said proximity sensor activating an alarm should said cover be pivoted closed upon said base of said case, without a said caddy engaged in a said recess previously occupied by a said caddy. 
 
     
     
         9 . The carrying case of  claim 1  additionally comprising:
 a magnifying lens pivotally engaged within a lens recess formed into said cover; 
 said lens having a stowed position parallel to said cover and stowed in said lens recess; and 
 said lens having a deployed position extending from said recess above said base. 
 
     
     
         10 . The carrying case of  claim 2  additionally comprising:
 a magnifying lens pivotally engaged within a lens recess formed into said cover; 
 said lens having a stowed position parallel to said cover and stowed in said lens recess; and 
 said lens having a deployed position extending from said recess above said base. 
 
     
     
         11 . The carrying case of  claim 3  additionally comprising:
 a magnifying lens pivotally engaged within a lens recess formed into said cover; 
 said lens having a stowed position parallel to said cover and stowed in said lens recess; and 
 said lens having a deployed position extending from said recess above said base. 
 
     
     
         12 . The carrying case of  claim 5  additionally comprising:
 a magnifying lens pivotally engaged within a lens recess formed into said cover; 
 said lens having a stowed position parallel to said cover and stowed in said lens recess; and 
 said lens having a deployed position extending from said recess above said base. 
 
     
     
         13 . The carrying case of  claim 1  additionally comprising:
 an induction pad located in at least one said recess; and 
 said induction pad operatively engaged to electric power to generate a charging field for a said object in a said caddy engaged whin said recess. 
 
     
     
         14 . The carrying case of  claim 3  additionally comprising:
 an induction pad located in at least one said recess; and 
 said induction pad operatively engaged to electric power to generate a charging field for a said object in a said caddy engaged whin said recess. 
 
     
     
         15 . The carrying case of  claim 4  additionally comprising:
 an induction pad located in at least one said recess; and 
 said induction pad operatively engaged to electric power to generate a charging field for a said object in a said caddy engaged whin said recess. 
 
     
     
         16 . The carrying case of  claim 12  additionally comprising:
 an induction pad located in at least one said recess; and
