Abstract
A multi-tool holding apparatus includes a first portion having a plurality of sides which define a circular channel that is able to be releasably secured around a fire hook. This release-ability is enabled by an opening on one side of this plurality of sides that is able to be screwed together, allowing for the circular channel defined to frictionally encompass the fire hook. This multi-tool holding apparatus also has a second portion having a neck coupled by a securing member, that forms a T-shaped component enabling secured frictional placement of a Halligan tool.

A multi-tool holding apparatus for securing a Halligan tool and a fireman's hook such that a firefighter may singlehandedly carry both tools into a firefighting environment, said multi-tool holding apparatus comprising:
- a first portion having a plurality of side walls that, together, form a channel operative to releasably secure the fireman's hook;
- and
- a second portion having a neck coupled to and extending away from a respective side wall of said first portion and a securing member coupled to said neck and positioned so as to prevent outward movement of the Halligan tool.
A multi-tool holding apparatus for securing a Halligan tool and a fireman's hook such that a firefighter may singlehandedly carry both tools into a firefighting environment, said multi-tool holding apparatus comprising:
- a first portion having a plurality of side walls that, together, form a channel operative to releasably secure the fireman's hook;
- and
- a second portion having a neck coupled to and extending away from a respective side wall of said first portion and a securing member coupled to said neck and positioned so as to prevent outward movement of the Halligan tool;
- wherein said first portion includes:
- a lower body member having a generally hemispherical configuration defining a lower interior space;
- an upper body member having a generally hemispherical configuration defining an upper interior space;
- wherein said first portion is movable between a released configuration in which said upper body member is displaced from said lower body member so as to enable a body portion of the fireman's hook to be nested in said lower interior space, and a secured configuration in which said upper body member is positioned atop said lower body member such that said body portion of the fireman's hook is sandwiched between said lower body member and set upper body member.
