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.
Claims19
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-apart members having axially-spaced apart and inwardly facing wall surfaces, and
- a cradle member transversely movable in opposite directions between the axially spaced-apart members toward and away from the inwardly facing wall surfaces for releasably clamping the tool handles against the inwardly facing wall surfaces, and
- wherein the cradle member has opposite ends extending laterally between the axially spaced-apart members for forming with the axially spaced-apart members a closed space for receiving the tool handles.
A tool holder comprising:
- a cage assembly, the cage assembly comprising a pair of axially spaced-apart members having inwardly facing wall surfaces axially spaced-apart along a first axis, and
- a screw member transversely movable, along a second axis in opposite directions towards and away from the inwardly facing wall surfaces for releasably clamping tool handles against the inwardly facing wall surfaces, and
- wherein one side of the cage assembly is connected to a body member, and the body member is indexably connected to a holder handle for pivotal movement about a third axis to allow for adjustment of the angular orientation of the body member and thus the tool handles when releasably clamped within the cage assembly relative to the holder handle,
- wherein the holder handle has a socket for receiving an end of a pole, and
- wherein the third axis is parallel to the first axis, and the second axis is perpendicular to the first and third axes.
