Holder

Abstract

A holder includes a base including two opposite supporting members extending from a top surface of the base, each supporting member having a clipping arm extending from a bottom edge of one end thereof; two elastic members each mounted to its corresponding supporting member, so as to define a predetermined narrow passage for passing through a rod object; and a cap covered on the base, which has a notch cutting into a skirt of the cap that faces the passage, and a recess portion formed on a cap rim of the cap and opposite to the notch. When the cap is assembled with the base, the notch defines an inserting hole for insertion of the rod object into the holder, and the recess portion of the cap rim defines an inserting slot for insertion of thin objects into the holder.

1 . A holder, comprising:
 a base comprising two opposite supporting members extending from a top surface of the base, each supporting member having a clipping arm extending from a bottom edge of one end thereof, whereby thin objects are capable of being inserted and clipped between the clipping arms and the top surface of the base;   two elastic members each mounted to its corresponding supporting member, so as to define a predetermined narrow passage for passing through a rod object, in which the diameter of the rod object is larger than the width of the passage; and   a cap covered on the base, which has a notch cutting into a skirt of the cap that faces the passage, and a recess portion formed on a cap rim of the cap and opposite to the notch;   wherein when the cap is assembled with the base, the notch defines an inserting hole for insertion of the rod object into the holder, and the recess portion of the cap rim defines an inserting slot for insertion of the thin objects into the holder.   
   
   
       2 . The holder as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein each clipping arm has a curved portion at a free end thereof, which is curved toward the base. 
   
   
       3 . The holder as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the base has two stripe openings each disposed along its corresponding clipping arm, and the curved portion of each clipping arm is slightly lower than the top surface of the base for more tightly clipping the thin objects. 
   
   
       4 . The holder as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the base further has a partition on the top surface thereof for preventing the inserted thin objects being pushed out of the holder when the rod object is then inserted into the holder. 
   
   
       5 . The holder as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a magnetic member is attached on a back surface of the base so that the holder is capable of being conveniently and detachably mounted on a metallic surface. 
   
   
       6 . The holder as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the elastic member is shaped into a tubular shape. 
   
   
       7 . The holder as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the elastic member is made of rubber.
