Implement holder

Abstract

An implement holder apparatus having a length of fabric tubing coaxially doubled over itself having a near end forming an opening and a far end forming a fold; an elastic cylinder disposed within the fabric tubing fold; and a detachable connector secured to the fabric tubing near end, whereby an implement can be held by the implement holder by inserting an implement into the far end and securing the apparatus with the detachable connector. Another embodiment is an apparatus comprising a piece of fabric tubing having a near end and a far end; a piece of heat shrink tubing secured to the fabric tubing far end such that at least a portion of the heat shrink tubing extends beyond the fabric tubing far end; and a detachable connector secured to the fabric tubing near end, whereby an implement can be held by the implement holder by inserting an implement into the heat shrink tubing and securing the apparatus with the detachable connector.

1 . An implement holder apparatus for holding an elongated implement comprising: 
 a piece of fabric tubing having a proximal end and a distal end;    a piece of heat shrink tubing secured to the fabric tubing distal end wherein at least a portion of the heat shrink tubing extends beyond the fabric tubing distal end; and    a detachable connector secured to the fabric tubing proximal end, whereby an implement can be held by the implement holder by inserting an implement into the heat shrink tubing and securing the apparatus with the detachable connector.    
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the fabric tubing is nylon tubing or cotton tubing.  
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , the fabric tubing comprising spandex.  
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising a hook secured to the detachable connector for securing the apparatus to a desired securing location.  
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 4 , wherein the hook is a swivel hook.  
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising an implement cap secured to the heat shrink tubing such that an implement can be held by inserting its corresponding cap that forms a part of the apparatus.  
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the heat shrink tubing has a 2:1 shrink ratio.  
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the heat shrink tubing extends beyond the fabric tubing distal end by at least 0.635 cm.  
     
     
         9 . An implement holder apparatus for holding an elongated implement comprising: 
 a length of fabric tubing coaxially doubled over itself having a proximal end forming an opening and a distal end forming a fold;    an elastic cylinder disposed within the fabric tubing fold; and    a detachable connector secured to the fabric tubing proximal end, whereby an implement can be held by the implement holder by inserting an implement into the distal end and securing the apparatus with the detachable connector.    
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein the elastic cylinder is made of rubber.  
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein the fabric tubing is nylon tubing or cotton tubing.  
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 11 , the fabric tubing comprising spandex.  
     
     
         13 . The apparatus of  claim 9  further comprising a hook secured to the detachable connector for securing the apparatus to a desired securing location.  
     
     
         14 . The apparatus of  claim 13 , wherein the hook is a swivel hook.
