ABSTRACT:
In accordance with the present invention, a tool holder 10 is provided for carrying a cutting implement, such as a pair of lopping shears 15, having a plurality of blades 16a and 16b attached by a pivot 18 to a pair of elongated handles 20a and 20b. The tool holder includes a support backing 12, containing a plurality of vertically extending slots 34a and 34b. A waist belt 32 may be passed through the vertically extending slots so that the tool holder may be suspended from the waist belt. A support frame 42 is also attached to the support backing. A rigid cap 14 for housing the blades 16a and 16b of the lopping shears 15 is fastened to the support frame 42 and the support backing 12. The rigid cap comprises a convex surface having a longitudinal edge 14a and a latitudinal edge 14b, wherein the longitudinal edge is attached to the support backing 12. The convex surface of the rigid cap projects outwardly from the longitudinal edge 14a and is attached to the support backing 12 to define a cavity for receiving the blades of the shears. In addition, a tool hook 24 is attached to the support frame 42 and spaced below the rigid cap 14 for supporting and securing the lopping shears 15. The tool hook is substantially L-shaped in cross-section including a shorter horizontal leg 28 projecting from the support backing and a longer vertical leg 26 extending upwardly from the shorter horizontal leg and spaced from the support backing. The shorter horizontal leg, the longer vertical leg and the support backing define a recess between the tool hook 24 and the support backing 12 for receiving the pivot 18 of the cutting implement. Preferably, the tool holder also includes a pouch 40 attached to the support backing 12 for storing various other types of cutting implements.
