Abstract

A device for removably securing a tool, the device comprising: a receiving member configured to provide support; and a securing member selectably coupleable to the receiving member and configured to removably secure the receiving member to the tool. The securing member comprises a magnet, the magnet disposed on an underside portion of the securing member.

1 . A device for removably securing a hammer to a person, the device comprising:
 a receiving member configured to provide support; and   a securing member, selectably coupleable to the receiving member and configured to removably secure the receiving member to the hammer, the securing member comprising a magnet.   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the strength of the magnet is sufficient to removably secure the hammer to a person. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the receiving member is selectively coupleable to a person. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the receiving member comprises a cavity, the cavity sized to receive a portion of the securing member, wherein the portion of the securing member is freely rotatable within the cavity. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the securing member further comprises:
 a head removably coupleable to the receiving member;   a neck member coupled to the head; and   a base member coupled to the neck member;   wherein the magnet is disposed on a portion of the base member.   
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 5 , wherein the receiving member includes a head slot defined by:
 a posterior member;   a plurality of arms extending outward from the posterior member; and   a neck slot located between the plurality of arms and shaped to permit the neck member to slide in the neck but not to permit het had to pass therebetween;   wherein the head slot is sized to receive the head.   
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 6 , wherein the magnet is disposed on an underside portion of the securing member. 
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 6 , wherein the underside portion is defined by an inward curvature. 
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 5 , wherein the base is larger than the neck such that the base cannot pass between the arms. 
     
     
         10 . A device for removably securing a tool to a person, the device comprising:
 a receiving member configured to provide support, the receiving member selectively coupleable to a person; and   a securing member selectably coupleable to the receiving member and configured to removably secure the receiving member to the tool, the securing member comprising a magnet, the magnet disposed on an underside portion of the securing member.   
     
     
         11 . The device of  claim 10 , wherein the securing member further comprises:
 a head removably coupleable to the receiving member;   a neck member coupled to the head; and   a base coupled to the neck member;   wherein the magnet is disposed on a portion of the base.   
     
     
         12 . The device of  claim 10 , wherein the receiving member includes:
 a posterior member;   a plurality of arms extending outward from the posterior member; and   a neck slot located between the plurality of arms and shaped to permit the neck member to slide in the neck but not to permit het had to pass therebetween;   wherein the head slot is sized to receive the head.   
     
     
         13 . The device of  claim 10 , wherein the underside portion of the securing member is defined by an inward curvature. 
     
     
         14 . The device of  claim 10 , wherein the receiving member comprises a cavity, the cavity sized to receive a portion of the securing member, wherein the portion of the securing member is freely rotatable within the cavity. 
     
     
         15 . The device of  claim 12 , wherein the base is larger than the neck such that the base cannot pass between the arms. 
     
     
         16 . A method of securing a tool to a person, the method comprising:
 providing a receiving member, configured to provide support;   providing a securing member selectably coupleable to the receiving member and configured to removably secure the receiving member to the tool, the securing member comprising a head configured to be removably secured to the receiving member;   disposing a magnet on a portion of the head.   
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16 , further comprising coupling a base to the head via a neck member. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein the magnet is disposed on an underside of the base. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the tool comprises a hammer. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 19 , further comprising removably coupling the securing member to the receiving member, wherein the securing member is oriented substantially parallel to the receiving member.
