Abstract
An epoxy putty stick holder which has a plurality of wall portions connected to each other by a flexible joint, able to wrap around and store an epoxy putty stick. The inner surfaces of the wall portions have a tooth portion which is used to cut-off a portion of the epoxy putty stick, and a peg portion that puncture the cut-off portion of the epoxy putty stick to initiate the chemical reaction in a two-port epoxy stick. A lip portion is also located on the inner surface of the wall portions to hold the unused portion of the epoxy stick within the holder between the lip portion and the tooth portion, when the holder is wrapped around the epoxy stick in the holder's closed position.

An epoxy putty stick holder comprising:
- a plurality of wall portions each connected to an adjacent wall portion by a flexible joint, said epoxy stick holder having an open position in which said wall portions are disposed essentially parallel, and a closed position in which said wall portions are disposed to encircle an epoxy putty stick,
- connecting means for connecting the outermost wall portions in the closed position, and
- a tooth portion which extends outwardly from an inner facing surface of at least one of said wall portions, said tooth portion acting to sever a portion of an epoxy putty stick which is closed upon by said epoxy putty stick holder.
An epoxy putty stick holder comprising:
- six flat, rectangular shaped wall portions, each having an inner facing surface and outer facing surface;
- a flexible joint;
- hook-and-eye type fastener;
- a triangular shaped tooth portion extending perpendicularly from the inner facing surface of each wall portion, each being equidistant from a proximal lengthwise end of each wall portion and parallel to each other;
- a peg portion extending perpendicularly from the inner facing surface of each wall portion between the proximal lengthwise end of each wall portion and each tooth, each peg portion being at a different longitudinal distance from the proximal lengthwise end than the peg portion on the adjacent wall portion;
- and
- a lip portion which extends from the inner facing surface of each wall portion at the distal lengthwise end of each wall portion;
- wherein said holder when in an open position, said wall portions are arranged in a straight row, longitudinally parallel to each other, the lengthwise edges of each adjacent wall portion being connected by said flexible joint, the two outermost wall portions having said hook-and-eye type fastener for connecting the outermost wall portions in a closed position,
- wherein said holder in the closed position, said wall portions encircle an epoxy putty stick.
