Abstract
A modular personal container has a stiff container shaped to receive and support a soft container in the preferred configuration of a tool belt. Both containers provide correspondingly shaped fixating and positioning features. The fixating features interlock the soft container with the stiff container. The interlocked soft container is then lowered down onto the stiff container until positioning edges of the soft container contact positioning shoulders of the stiff container. Pockets laterally protruding from the stiff container provide the positioning shoulders. A shoulder belt may be simultaneously snapped on lugs individually attached on both containers. A loose hip belt of the assembled soft container is packed away in a belt pocket recessed from a smooth rear side of the stiff container. The stiff container has a handgrip and a top lid for accessing a storage volume of the stiff container with or without the soft container being attached.
