This invention to a case for storing and dispensing sockets from matching grooves. A desired socket can be visually selected through at least one of transparent end pieces which close opposite ends of the grooves. The desired socket can be dispensed by positioning a belt which wraps around the grooves to retain the socket therein, to bring an aperture opposite the groove matching the desired socket.

A case for storing and selectively dispensing socket members for use with a universal socket wrench comprising: A. a substantially continuous, unitary base comprising a plurality of elongated, parallel U-shaped grooves positioned in a side-by-side relationship, each of said elongated grooves having a. a size and shape for receiving and holding one of said socket members, b. sidewalls defined by said U-shape for separating said grooves, with said sidewalls being sufficient in height to laterally retain the socket members stored therein, c. first and second open zones formed at each end of each elongated groove, and d. a third, elongated open zone extending the entire length of each elongated groove, defined by the opening of said U-shape and enabling the socket members stored therein to be laterally removed and replaced in its entirety rapidly and efficiently; B. a belt incorporating a single aperture zone which comprises a size and shaped substantially equal to the size and shape of the third open zone of the grooves of the base; and C. at least two end pieces, each being a. constructed for mounting to one side edge of said base for closing the first and second open zones thereof and preventing axial, longitudinal withdrawal of said socket member from said groove, and comprising a belt receiving slot formed therein, positioned in juxtaposed spaced, facing cooperating relationship with the slot of the opposed end piece, defining a belt receiving track enabling the movement of the belt relative to the base whereby the aperture zone of the belt is selectively positionable into overlying, juxtaposed, spaced relationship with any one of said elongated grooves, providing rapid and efficient ingress and egress of the socket member positioned within said groove.
