ABSTRACT:
A holder is provided for suspending a measuring rule or similar object, to which is attached a spring clip having an inwardly declined deflectable tongue portion thereon. The holder is of relatively flat configuration and is adapted to be inserted over or upon the belt of the user. It may be of generally U-shaped configuration, with an outer leg having a laterally extending slot configured to receive the tongue portion of the spring clip and defining a relatively narrow lower edge element about which the rule can swing freely, so as to minimize any tendency for inadvertent disassembly. Alternatively, the holder may be of generally rectangular, plate-like form and with edge slots through which the belt is inserted, while still retaining the lower edge feature described. The construction of the holder facilitates one-handed attachment and removal of the rule, without diminishing the security of interengagement afforded.
