Tool holder

A tool holder for holding a tool, the tool having a flat planar surface with multiple edges and a perpendicularly mounted planar flange attached to one of the edges and wherein the flange has a detent recess therein, the improvement comprising:

• an elongated planar sheath having a first end and a second end, a center area disposed between the first and second ends,
• the first end having a loop therein,
• an elongated scabbard mounted to the center area of the sheath, the scabbard being of an elongated substantially hollow rectangular cross-sectional configuration having four walls, each wall having interior and exterior surfaces,
• a slot being disposed within one of the scabbard walls communicating with the hollow interior of the scabbard,
• detent means mounted on the scabbard for cooperative engagement with the detent recess of the tool,
• the exterior surface of one of the walls of the scabbard has at least one pintle and gudgeon mounting means, the scabbard pintle and gudgeon mounting means being affixed to the center area of the sheath,
• the pintle and gudgeon mounting means comprise a scabbard pintle projecting from one of the exterior wall surfaces of the scabbard and being rotatably mounted in a gudgeon mounted to the center area of the sheath, and
• the detent means comprises a leaf spring mounted on one of the exterior surfaces of one of the walls of the scabbard, the said wall mounting the leaf spring having an aperture therein, the leaf spring having a detent button mounted thereon and projecting through the aperture and into the hollow interior of the scabbard.
