Reactionary tool holder device

A reactionary tool holder comprising:

• a base member (110, 210);
• an object support member (120, 220) rotatably coupled with the base member to rotate about a first lateral axis (A1), the object support member comprising a torque imparting member (130, 230);
• an outwardly deflecting member (125, 225) rotatably coupled with the base member to rotate about a second lateral axis (A2) parallel to the first lateral axis, the outwardly deflecting member comprising a torque receiving surface (134);
• a first laterally extending member (142, 242) that rotatably couples the base member to the object support member;
• and,
• a second laterally extending member (145, 245) that rotatably couples the base member to the outwardly deflecting member,
• wherein:
• in a transition from a first mode to a second mode, the object support member is rotated in a first rotational direction about the first lateral axis to cause the torque imparting member to apply a torque in the first rotational direction to the torque receiving surface to cause the outwardly deflecting member to rotate in a second, opposite rotational direction about the second lateral axis, and,
• the torque receiving surface is (1) not directly connected to the torque imparting member, and (2) arranged to receive the applied torque imparted by the torque imparting member when the torque imparting member physically engages with the torque receiving surface in the second mode.

• and,
• a user coupling member (105) rotatably coupled to the base member, the user coupling member comprising a user attachment mechanism (20) configured to attach the user coupling member to a user's belt,
• wherein:
• in a transition from a first mode to a second mode, the object support member is rotated in a first rotational direction about the first lateral axis to cause the torque imparting member to apply a torque in the first rotational direction to the torque receiving surface to cause the outwardly deflecting member to rotate in a second, opposite rotational direction about the second lateral axis,
• the torque receiving surface is (1) not directly connected to the torque imparting member, and (2) arranged to receive the applied torque imparted by the torque imparting member when the torque imparting member physically engages with the torque receiving surface in the second mode, and
• wherein the user coupling member comprises a wedge-shaped cross section having a wedge surface configured to physically engage with a back surface of the base member.
