Embodiment Construction

[0036] FIGS. 1 to 8 show the present invention in a preferred embodiment. Belt clip 80 is a mounting element that holds the carrying device of the invention to a user's belt, waistband or other clothing. Belt clip 80 is normally removable from a user's belt, although it could be permanently or semi-permanently attached to a belt or other clothing article. Housing 10 may swivel against belt clip 80 about rivet 100 in hole 11 where belt clip 80 is pivotally attached to housing 10 by rivet 100.

[0037] Housing 10 provides a structure to contain, guide and support the components of the carrying device. The components are preferably well contained within housing 10 for a pleasing appearance, however housing 10 could be minimally designed to expose the components if it is desired for example to reduce material usage. Hook 60 extends down from slot 12 (FIGS. 2,3) of housing 10.

[0038] The design of hook 60 is best seen in FIG. 1, where hook shaft 61 and optionally hexagonal head end 62 are ...

Abstract

A personal carrying device provides structures for carrying bit accessories, such as screwdriver bits and drill bits. In one embodiment a tool-carrying device includes a depending hook and bit-storage cavities within a housing. A latch and a release button hold the bits within the bit-cavities in a manner that facilitates installing and removing bits. A single structure guides the hook, and supports the latch and the release button. Further structures are disclosed that provide improvements to holding and extracting bits in general portable and non-portable devices.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to personal carrying accessories. More precisely the present invention relates to a carrying device including an accessory holder. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] A well-known device to carry tools, supplies and the like is a tool belt. Such belts often have pockets, loops or an attached hook to enable a worker to carry items without use of his hands. [0003] U.S. Pat. No. 4,883,290 to Landa shows a ski pole carrier. A spring clip secures the body of the device to a belt or other item worn by a user. A clamp is pivotally attached to the body of the device and holds two ski poles. The poles may be swiveled between vertical and parallel to the user and horizontally. [0004] U.S. Pat. No. 4,962,873 to Schattel comprises a customized tool belt with a permanently attached hook. The device is intended for heavy construction materials such as rebar. The custom belt thus includes shoulder straps to support the load. The hook may b...
