Abstract
A tool holder comprises a cage assembly having a pair of axially spaced hollow members with axially aligned through openings sized for axial extension of tool handles of different sizes and shapes through both of the aligned openings. A cradle member is transversely movable in opposite directions between the hollow members toward and away from respective inwardly facing wall surfaces of the hollow members for releasably clamping tool handles extending through both aligned openings against the inwardly facing wall surfaces.
Claims17
A tool holder for firmly holding a wide range of sizes and shapes of tool handles, the tool holder comprising:
- a cage assembly, the cage assembly comprising a pair of axially spaced hollow members having axially aligned through openings sized for axial extension of tool handles of different sizes and shapes through both of the aligned openings, and
- a cradle member transversely movable in opposite directions between the hollow members toward and away from respective inwardly facing wall surfaces of the hollow members for releasably clamping the tool handles extending through both aligned openings against the inwardly facing wall surfaces, and
- wherein the cradle member has opposite ends extending laterally outwardly beyond opposite sides of the axially spaced hollow members for guiding the cradle member during transverse movement between the hollow members toward and away from the inwardly facing wall surfaces of the hollow members.

- a cradle member transversely movable in opposite directions between the hollow members toward and away from respective inwardly facing wall surfaces of the hollow members for releasably clamping the tool handles extending through both aligned openings against the inwardly facing wall surfaces, and
- a screw member for supporting the cradle member for transverse movement in opposite directions between the hollow members, and
- wherein the hollow members are joined together at ends opposite the inwardly facing wall surfaces by a cross member, and the screw member is threadedly received in a threaded bore in the cross member substantially in line with an approximate center of an axial space between the hollow members.
