- (b) a pocket system supported by said tool belt, wherein said pocket system includes a first pocket and a second pocket;
- (c) said first pocket includes a first spring frame integrated therewith that includes a first position that closes a top portion of said first pocket and a second position that opens a top portion of said first pocket, where said first spring frame includes a first side and a second side that are movable between said first position and said second position, where said first side of said first spring frame is wrapped in a first protective layer, where said second side of said first spring frame is wrapped in a second protective layer, where said first side of said first spring frame defines a first pair of openings therein generally centered along the length of said first side of said first spring frame, where said second side of said first spring frame defines a second pair of openings therein generally centered along the length of said second side of said first spring frame, where said first spring frame is only maintained within said first pocket by a first pair of attachment members extending through said first pair of openings and a second air of attachment members extending through said second pair of openings, where said first protective layer and said second protective layer are in face to face arrangement with an interior surface of said first pocket;
- (d) said second pocket includes a second spring frame integrated therewith that includes a first position that closes a top portion of said second pocket and a second position that opens a top portion of said second pocket, where said second spring frame includes a first side and a second side that are movable between said first position and said second position, where said first side of said second siring frame is wrapped in a third protective layer, where said second side of said second spring frame is wrapped in a fourth protective layer, where said first side of said second spring frame defines a third pair of openings therein generally centered along the length of said first side of said second spring frame, where said second side of said second spring frame defines a fourth pair of openings therein generally centered along the length of said second side of said second spring frame, where said second spring frame is only maintained within said second pocket by a third pair of attachment members extending through said third pair of openings and a fourth pair of attachment members extending through said fourth pair of openings, where said third protective layer and said fourth protective layer are in face to face arrangement with an interior surface of said second pocket;
- (e) said first pocket is attached to and supported by said tool belt;
- (f) said second pocket is attached to and supported by said first pocket at a location further distant from said tool belt than said first pocket, where said second pocket is said attached to said first pocket by said second pair of attachment members through said second pair of openings of said second side of said first spring frame and said third pair of openings of said first side of said second spring frame, where said second pocket is not attached to said first pocket by any other structure than said third pair of attachment members.
