BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to the field of tool holders, and more particularly to a speed square holder.
2. Description of Related Art
As can be seen by reference to the following U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,819,847; 4,872,600; 5,016,796; 5,341,976; 5,388,740 and 5,687,892, the prior art is replete with myriad and diverse tool holders.
While all of the aforementioned prior art constructions are more than adequate for the basic purpose and function for which they have been specifically designed, they are uniformly deficient with respect to their failure to provide a simple, efficient, and practical multi-position pivoting mount speed square holder.
As a consequence of the foregoing situation, there has existed a longstanding need for a new and improved speed square holder and the provision of such a construction is a stated objective of the present invention.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Briefly stated, the present invention provides a speed square holder including an elongated vertically disposed body member having a top spring clip and a bottom spring clip offset and connected by an intermediate portion. A top mount is pivotally attached to the top spring clip and a bottom mount is pivotally attached to the bottom spring clip. Spring biased top and bottom lever buttons are pivotally attached to the intermediate portion and are disposed in contacting relationship with the respective top and bottom mounts. In use, the top spring clip is positioned over a tool belt or nail pocket with the top lever button in contact with the top edge of the belt or pocket. Downward pressure on the top spring clip forces the top button up and forces the pivoting top mount open to receive the edge of the belt or pocket. The speed square is then positioned over the bottom spring clip in contact with the bottom button. Downward pressure is applied to force the bottom button down and force the bottom pivot mount open to receive the square.
