Tool holder

Abstract

A tool holder includes a support member, a tool casing detachably attached to the support member and having a chamber for receiving an insert, the insert is made of a cushioning material and includes a number of cavities for receiving tool members. The cavities of the insert include an inner diameter smaller than an outer diameter of the tool members for clamping the tool members. The support member includes one or more hooks for hooking the tool casing. The tool casing may include a shaft for engaging with the hook of the support member and may include a latch member for detachably securing the tool casing to the support member. A retaining member may be attached to the support member for engaging with a tool device.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a tool holder, and more particularly to a tool holder having a structure for solidly retaining tool members to the tool holder and for preventing the tool members from being disengaged from the tool holder. [0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art [0004] Typical tool holders comprise a body member or a support for attaching to the users, such as for attaching to the waist bands of the users, and the body member or support includes a number of socket-like members or pockets or bags attached thereto or provided thereon for receiving and carrying various kinds of tool members. [0005] For example, U.S. Pat. No. 2,758,798 to Schmidt discloses one of the typical tool holders also comprising a number of socket-like members or pockets or bags attached to the planar body member or support for receiving tool members. [0006] However, the tool members are loosely received and supported in the sock...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

"The present invention is a tool holder that securely holds tool members and prevents them from disengaging. The tool holder includes a support member, a tool casing, and an insert. The tool casing is made of a different material than the insert and has cavities for holding tool members. The support member has hooks for attaching the tool casing, and the tool casing has a shaft for engaging with the hooks. The tool casing also has a latch member for securely attaching to the support member. The tool casing has pins and a cushioning sleete for engaging with the tool members. The support member has a retaining member for engaging with a tool device and a lock opening for securing the retaining member to the support member. The invention provides a tool holder that can safely hold tool members and prevent them from disengaging."

Problems solved by technology

However, the tool members are loosely received and supported in the socket-like members or pockets or bags and may have a good chance to be disengaged from the planar body member or support when the users are walking or bending over or jumping, because the planar body member or support may not solidly secure or retain the tool members in the socket-like members or pockets or bags.

However, similarly, the tool members may not be solidly secured or attached or retained to the planar body member or support with the magnetic members, and the tool members may also have a good chance to be disengaged from the planar body member or support particularly when the users are walking or bending over or jumping.
