ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is disclosed for an implement retainer comprising a holder having a base and a plurality of flexible pins projecting from the base. The holder is flexible and manufactured of a resilient material. The pins have bulbous, conical, convex tips, and holes may be disposed between the pins to isolate and suspend the pointy tips of implements. The pins also have a frusto-conical convex base which guides and retains the end of an implement. A low bridging wall is provided between each adjacent pin which guides an implement tip into the hole and also retains the end of an implement. In use, implements are inserted between the pins and contact against the bulbous, convex tip of the pins, which are displaced by the implement, then press against the implement, thereby retaining the implement in place.
