ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to tool holders and more particularly pertains to a new finishing tool holder for allowing a user to store finishing tools in an efficient manner such that productivity can be increased.
2. Description of the Prior Art
The use of tool holders is known in the prior art. More specifically, tool holders heretofore devised and utilized are known to consist basically of familiar, expected and obvious structural configurations, notwithstanding the myriad of designs encompassed by the crowded prior art which have been developed for the fulfillment of countless objectives and requirements.
Known prior art includes U.S. Pat. No. 5,626,272; U.S. Pat. No. 4,300,708; U.S. Pat. No. 4,303,188; U.S. Pat. No. 4,416,372; U.S. Pat. No. 2,238,324; and U.S. Pat. No. Des. 313,121.
While these devices fulfill their respective, particular objectives and requirements, the aforementioned patents do not disclose a new finishing tool holder. The inventive device includes a plurality of pocket assemblies each having a front wall, a pair of side walls, a rear wall and a bottom wall. The pocket assemblies have a holding space defined by the front wall, the side walls, the rear wall and the bottom wall such that the holding space is adapted for holding one of the finishing knives. One of the pluralities of pocket assemblies is adapted for removably coupling to the belt of the user. The pocket assemblies are coupled to an adjacent one of the pocket assemblies. A plurality of compartments has a front partition, a pair of end partitions and a bottom partition. Each of the compartments has a storage space defined by the front partition, the end partitions and the bottom partition such that the storage space of each of the compartments is adapted for storing one of the finishing knives. Each of the compartments is coupled to an adjacent one of the compartments. One of the compartments is coupled to one of the pocket assemblies such that the compartments are adapted for being removably coupled to the user.
In these respects, the finishing tool holder according to the present invention substantially departs from the conventional concepts and designs of the prior art, and in so doing provides an apparatus primarily developed for the purpose of for allowing a user to store finishing tools in an efficient manner such that productivity can be increased.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of tool holders now present in the prior art, the present invention provides a new finishing tool holder construction wherein the same can be utilized for allowing a user to store finishing tools in an efficient manner such that productivity can be increased.
The general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a new finishing tool holder apparatus and method which has many of the advantages of the tool holders mentioned heretofore and many novel features that result in a new finishing tool holder which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by any of the prior art tool holders, either alone or in any combination thereof.
To attain this, the present invention generally comprises a plurality of pocket assemblies each having a front wall, a pair of side walls, a rear wall and a bottom wall. The pocket assemblies have a holding space defined by the front wall, the side walls, the rear wall and the bottom wall such that the holding space is adapted for holding one of the finishing knives. One of the pluralities of pocket assemblies is adapted for removably coupling to the belt of the user. The pocket assemblies are coupled to an adjacent one of the pocket assemblies. A plurality of compartments has a front partition, a pair of end partitions and a bottom partition. Each of the compartments has a storage space defined by the front partition, the end partitions and the bottom partition such that the storage space of each of the compartments is adapted for storing one of the finishing knives. Each of the compartments is coupled to an adjacent one of the compartments. One of the compartments is coupled to one of the pocket assemblies such that the compartments are adapted for being removably coupled to the user.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the invention in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the invention that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
In this respect, before explaining at least one embodiment of the invention in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of construction and to the arrangements of the components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawings. The invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced and carried out in various ways. Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein are for the purpose of description and should not be regarded as limiting.
As such, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the conception, upon which this disclosure is based, may readily be utilized as a basis for the designing of other structures, methods and systems for carrying out the several purposes of the present invention. It is important, therefore, that the claims be regarded as including such equivalent constructions insofar as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
Further, the purpose of the foregoing abstract is to enable the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the public generally, and especially the scientists, engineers and practitioners in the art who are not familiar with patent or legal terms or phraseology, to determine quickly from a cursory inspection the nature and essence of the technical disclosure of the application. The abstract is neither intended to define the invention of the application, which is measured by the claims, nor is it intended to be limiting as to the scope of the invention in any way.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a new finishing tool holder apparatus and method which has many of the advantages of the tool holders mentioned heretofore and many novel features that result in a new finishing tool holder which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by any of the prior art tool holders, either alone or in any combination thereof.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a new finishing tool holder, which may be easily and efficiently manufactured and marketed.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a new finishing tool holder, which is of a durable and reliable construction.
An even further object of the present invention is to provide a new finishing tool holder which is susceptible of a low cost of manufacture with regard to both materials and labor, and which accordingly is then susceptible of low prices of sale to the consuming public, thereby making such finishing tool holder economically available to the buying public.
Still yet another object of the present invention is to provide a new finishing tool holder which provides in the apparatuses and methods of the prior art some of the advantages thereof, while simultaneously overcoming some of the disadvantages normally associated therewith.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide a new finishing tool holder for allowing a user to store finishing tools in an efficient manner such that productivity can be increased.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a new finishing tool holder which includes a plurality of pocket assemblies each having a front wall, a pair of side walls, a rear wall and a bottom wall. The pocket assemblies have a holding space defined by th
