ABSTRACT:
A device 10 is described for portably supporting a group of wrenches 11 or similar articles and for selective operation to receive or release selective ones of the wrenches 11 on a clip wire loop 19. The clip wire loop 19 extends from a rigid handle 18 to ends 20, 21 providing a latch arrangement 23 that will open responsive to force applied thereto by a wrench end 13 and thereby allow the wrench 11 to be easily and quickly mounted to or removed from the clip wire 19. Particular angular orientations and spacing of side surfaces of the latch 23 form a "v" notch 40 that facilitates operation of the latch 23 to open responsive to forcible contact by the wrench end 13. Two preferred forms of the device 10 are described. The first includes a preferred latch 23 having a pivoted, spring biased latch arm 26. The second preferred from includes the latch 23 as an integral portion of the clip wire 19. In the first preferred form, a spring and push rod are mounted to the clip wire and operate against the latch arm to urge the arm continuously toward a closed condition. A circular notch in the latch arm slidably receives the push rod to enable smooth pivotal motion of the latch arm through an arc of 90.degree. about a pivot axis of the latch arm.
