Tool Connectors

Abstract

This article is a connector for a tool, for example, for connecting a tool such as an electric screwdriver to a holder. As shown in the "Reference diagram of a state in which the connector is attached to a tool" and the "Reference diagram of a state in which a tool is held by a holder", a cable tie or the like is passed through the hole of the connector, and the connector is attached to the tool and fixed, so that the tool can be attached to the holder via the connector. The large-diameter disk portion (lower side of the front view) at one end of the connector is engaged and held by the holder, and the other end of the connector is shaped to conform to the surface of the tool. Depending on the shape of the tool, the shape of the surface varies, for example, a flat surface or a curved surface with a different R, and in that case, as shown in "Reference diagrams 1 to 3", the shape of one end of the connector also varies. In addition, since the portion where the connector is engaged with the holder is a large-diameter disk, the tool can be rotated 360 degrees when attached to the holder, which is advantageous in that the tool can be easily handled. In addition, as shown in the "Reference diagram of the holder attached to a belt (without tools)," by attaching the holder to a belt or the like, a tool can be attached to the holder attached to the belt when not in use, and when it is time to use the tool, it can be removed from the holder and used; using this connector makes it easy to hold and attach and detach tools.
