Spark plug storage device

Abstract

A storage device for storing and transporting a plurality of spark plugs is disclosed. The storage device comprises a generally rectangular container comprising an open upper section and a storage rack. The storage rack comprises a generally rectangular box frame and a plurality of spark plug receptors positioned within the box frame along predetermined positions via support plates that extend from inner walls of the box frame, wherein the spark plug receptors are configured to adaptably receive the spark plugs, wherein the storage rack is configured to be conformingly inserted within the rectangular container. Optionally, a covering member is removably attached to the rectangular container containing the storage rack, to secure the spark plugs during transportation. A method of storing and transporting a plurality of spark plugs is also disclosed.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A storage device for storing and transporting a plurality of spark plugs, the storage device comprising:
 a generally rectangular container comprising an open upper section;   the storage rack comprising;
 a generally rectangular box frame; 
 a plurality of spark plug receptors positioned within the box frame along predetermined positions via support plates that extend from inner walls of the box frame, wherein the spark plug receptors are configured to adaptably receive the spark plugs, wherein the storage rack is configured to be conformingly inserted within the rectangular container. 
   
     
     
         2 . The storage device of  claim 1 , wherein an insulator portion of each spark plug is positioned inside the spark plug receptor and an electrode portion of each spark plug is supportably engaged to project upwardly. 
     
     
         3 . The storage device of  claim 1 , a covering member is removably attached to the rectangular container containing the storage rack, to secure the spark plugs during transportation. 
     
     
         4 . The storage device of  claim 1 , is manufactured from at least one of a rigid plastic material, and a semi-rigid plastic material. 
     
     
         5 . The storage device of  claim 1 , wherein the spark plug receptors of the box frame is configured to receive the spark plugs comprising different sizes and dimensions. 
     
     
         6 . The storage device of  claim 1 , wherein the covering member securing the box frame is further configured to provide a fluid-tight sealing fit. 
     
     
         7 . The storage device of  claim 1 , wherein the spark plug receptors are configured to have orientation points for easy identification and maintenance of spark plugs arranged in the storage rack. 
     
     
         8 . The storage device of  claim 1 , wherein the storage rack comprises four support plates that extend from inner walls of the box frame. 
     
     
         9 . The storage device of  claim 1 , wherein the storage rack also comprises eight spark plug receptors positioned in alternating rows within the box frame. 
     
     
         10 . A method of storing and transporting a plurality of spark plugs, the method comprising:
 providing a storage device comprising;
 a generally rectangular container comprising an open upper section; 
 a storage rack comprising;
 a generally rectangular box frame; 
 a plurality of spark plug receptors positioned within the box frame along predetermined positions via support plates that extend from inner walls of the box frame, and 
 
   adaptably receiving the spark plugs within the spark plug receptors; and   conformingly inserting the storage rack within the rectangular container.
