Tool holder

Abstract

A tool holder for removably holding a tool. The tool holder includes a receiving member and a coupling member. The receiving member includes a base, a pair of arms coupled to the base, a neck slot located between the pair of arms, and a head slot located between the base and the pair of arms. The coupling member includes: a head configured to slidably move within the head slot; a neck coupled to the head and configured to slidably move within the neck slot; and an attachment member coupled to the neck and configured to couple the coupling member to the tool. There is a latching member that is a protrusion configured to latch the coupling member to the receiving member. The attachment member is a loop that is a double-sided hook and loop ribbon.

       7 . The tool holder of  claim 6 , wherein the neck slot includes a vertical dimension shorter than a vertical dimension of the head slot and a difference between the vertical dimensions of the neck and head slots is about a radius of the disk-shaped head.  
   
   
       8 . The tool holder of  claim 1 , wherein the neck slot comprises being deeper than a depth of the head slot.  
   
   
       9 . The tool holder of  claim 1 , wherein the neck slot includes a vertical dimension longer than a vertical dimension of the head slot.  
   
   
       10 . A tool holder for holding a tool, consisting essentially of: 
 a receiving member, including: 
 a lip;  
 a side member defining a void; and  
 a channel, through the lip and side member, defining a channel width; and  
   a coupling member receivable by the receiving member, including: 
 an attachment member;  
 a body, coupled to the attachment member;  
 a neck, coupled to the body, defining a neck width smaller than about the channel width; and  
 a head, coupled to the neck, disposable within the void, and having a head width larger than about the channel width.  
   
   
   
       11 . The tool holder of  claim 10 , wherein the body includes a gripping surface configured to enhance a user's grip on the body.  
   
   
       12 . The tool holder of  claim 10 , wherein the head comprises a cylindrical rod.  
   
   
       13 . The tool holder of  claim 10 , wherein the receiving member further comprises a clip coupled to the side member.  
   
   
       14 . The tool holder of  claim 10 , wherein the side member further comprises a latching member coupled to at least one of the components in the group consisting of receiving member and coupling member and removably coupled to at least one of the components in the group consisting of receiving member and coupling member.  
   
   
       15 . The tool holder of  claim 10 , wherein the side member further comprises a ladder coupling member coupleable to a ladder.  
   
   
       16 . The tool holder of  claim 15 , wherein the side member comprises a ladder.  
   
   
       17 . A tool holder for holding a tool, comprising: 
 a vessel, including: 
 a lip;  
 a vessel side member, contiguous to the lip, defining a void; and  
 a channel through the lip and vessel side member, the channel defining a channel width; and  
   a coupling member removably coupleable to the vessel, including: 
 an elongated member removably coupleable to the tool;  
 a body, coupled to the elongated member, defining a gripping surface;  
 a neck, coupled to the body, defining a neck width smaller than about the channel width; and  
 a head: coupled to the neck, sufficiently small to fit within the void, and including  
 a head width larger than about the channel width.  
   
   
   
       18 . The tool holder of  claim 17 , wherein the elongated member comprises an elastic loop.  
   
   
       19 . The tool holder of  claim 17 , further comprising a protrusion extending internal the channel at a height from the bottom of the channel greater than or equal to the neck width.
