ABSTRACT:
A tool and sheath combination in which the tool is securely engaged in the sheath. A release bar having a tip and a distal end is coupled to the sheath. The tool has at least one recess for accepting the tip of the release bar when the tool is fully inserted in the sheath. A flexible element coupled to the release bar biases the release bar to engage the recess when the tool is fully inserted in the sheath and a fulcrum located between the tip and the distal end of the release bar permits rotation of the release bar for disengagement from the recess under finger pressure applied to the distal end. A second surface along the tip and angled obliquely relative to the edge of the recess may continue to engage this edge after the biasing element is overcome by hand pressure to retain the tool in the sheath. This second surface, however, may be overcome by applying force to pull the tool out of the sheath.
