Abstract
A nail coil and tool holding assembly, having a belt and a number of nail coil pouches each having a front and a rear. The rear of each pouch is attached to the belt by a single rivet. Pivotal attachment onto the belt by the rivet allows the pouches to be rotated to maximize ease of access to the nails. A hammer holder, a utility knife holder pouch, and a pencil holder pouch may be attached to the belt by means of fastening material attached to the rear surface of the belt. Each nail coil pouch has an open top lip and a vertical slot on the front surface, to facilitate easy access to the nails. The nail coils may be positioned in the nail coil pouch so that the points of the nails are oriented towards the pouch rear to minimize the risk of injury to the user.
Claims8
A nail coil and tool holding assembly, for use by a worker, in holding nail coils having a plurality of nails which extend parallel to each other and are evenly spaced along and connected by a linear carrier, and rolled into a spiral having a central void, each nail having a point on one end, comprising:
- a utility belt having two ends, and a front and a rear surface, whereby the ends of the belt are selectively attached to each other to secure the belt around the worker;
- and
- a plurality of nail coil pouches which are attached to the utility belt, wherein each nail coil pouch is sized to accommodate a nail coil, each nail coil pouch having a front surface, a rear surface, two sides, a top lip and a bottom portion, wherein the nail coil pouch is open at the top lip, and closed at the bottom portion, and has a slot extending vertically downward in the front surface from the top lip, such that when the nail coil is within the pouch, the slot provides access to the central void of the nail coil so that the nail coil can be lifted out from the top lip by lifting the nail coil by the central void.
A method of replenishing a supply of nails from a utility belt worn by a user with an attached nail coil pouch, each nail coil pouch capable of holding a nail coil having a plurality of nails each having a pointed end, and where the nails are attached to each other by a carrier and positioned in the nail coil pouch such that the points of the nails in the nail coil are oriented toward the pouch rear, each nail coil pouch further having a front surface, a rear surface, two sides, a top lip and a bottom portion, wherein the nail coil pouch is open at the top lip, and closed at the bottom portion, the nail coil pouch having a slot extending vertically downward in the front surface from the top lip, comprising the steps of:
- storing a nail coil within the nail coil pouch;
- inserting the user's fingers through the slot in the front surface of the pouch into the central void of the nail coil;
- lifting the nail coil upward;
- and
- removing the nail coil at the top lip of the nail coil pouch.
