Abstract
The tool tip holder includes a deployment mechanism and a plurality of tool carriers coupled to the deployment mechanism. Each tool carrier has a tool entry end and a base end, and a deployment mechanism is adapted to selectively reconfigure the plurality of tool carriers from a linear or other elongated arrangement into a parallel tuft. The deployment mechanism may be a spring attachment structure that couples the tool carriers and folds the tool carriers into parallel tufts when released from the restraint. Alternatively, the deployment mechanism may be an inflatable structure that, when inflated, arranges the tool carriers into parallel tufts.
