ABSTRACT:

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a hand-held tool handle, and more particular to a handle with a side opening for mounting a tool holder for tool bits to be stored therein.
2. Prior Art
The conventional tools such as screw drivers or sockets are in two designs, one is a fixed bit installed on a handle, the other is a handle with a set of separate bits which are normally stored in a tool box, this causes inconvenience of carrying too many tools.
Therefore, a tool handle
5
, as shown in
FIG. 4
with a hollow body
51
to store a bit set
7
was devised which drills a hole from the bottom end of the handle
5
and inserts the bit set
7
into the hollow body
51
. Then the opening is covered by a lid
8
by means of threads
81
into the opening of the handle
5
. This requires users to take all of the bit set
7
out from the hollow body
51
separately in order to replace an appropriate bit, and then insert the bit set
7
back into the hollow body
51
before the lid
8
covers the opening. This consumes much valuable time.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is therefore a main object of the present invention to provide a hand-held tool handle which is easy to use and needs not to take all bits out separately when replacing bits.
This object is achieved by a hand-held tool handle consisting of a handle with a hollow body, and the character is that the hollow body is in a longitudinal direction with an opening at one side of the handle. The inner hollow portion has a spring push button which has one end remained in the hollow body while the other end extending outwardly from the opening. The hollow body is mounted with a tool holder which has formed with a number of seats to receive bits thereat. The center portion of the tool holder has a strut corresponding to the push button, by pushing the push button, the tool holder will extend outwardly, and the bits may be picked for prompt usage.
