Belt mounted tool holder

Abstract

A belt mounted sleever bar holder includes a belt receiving member of flexible material formed into a belt receiving loop and designed to receive a belt therethrough so as to securely hold the belt receiving member on a belt. A metal mounting plate is fixedly attached to an outer surface of the belt receiving member and an L-shaped metal sleever bar receiving member with a substantially vertically oriented arm and a substantially horizontally oriented arm is pivotally attached parallel with an outer surface of the mounting plate for limited rotary movements of the vertical arm relative to the mounting plate. The horizontally oriented arm includes a sleever bar receiving opening therethrough.

Having fully described the invention in such clear and concise terms as to enable those skilled in the art to understand and practice the same, the invention claimed is: 
     
         1 - 10 . (canceled) 
     
     
         11 . A belt mounted sleever bar holder comprising:
 a belt receiving member formed with an opening designed to receive a belt therethrough so as to securely hold the belt receiving member on a belt;   a mounting plate having an inner surface, an outer surface, and a central aperture, the mounting plate fixedly attached to an outer surface of the belt receiving member with the inner surface of the mounting plate adjacent the belt receiving member;   a sleever bar receiving member being L-shaped and having a first arm and a substantially perpendicularly oriented second arm rigidly fixed with respect to the first arm;   a pivot pin extending through the aperture in the mounting plate, the pivot pin being fixedly attached to a first washer positioned adjacent the inner surface of the mounting plate and to a second washer adjacent the outside surface of the mounting plate and to the first arm of the sleever bar receiving member;   the first arm being pivotally attached parallel with an outer surface of the mounting plate for 360 degree rotary movement of the first arm relative to the mounting plate, and the second arm including a sleever bar receiving opening therethrough.   
     
     
         12 . A belt mounted sleever bar holder comprising:
 a sleever bar having a first end and a second end;   a belt receiving member formed with an opening designed to receive a belt therethrough so as to securely hold the belt receiving member on a belt;   a mounting plate having an inner surface, an outer surface, and a central aperture, the mounting plate fixedly attached to an outer surface of the belt receiving member with the inner surface of the mounting plate adjacent the belt receiving member;   a sleever bar receiving member being L-shaped and having a first arm and a substantially perpendicularly oriented second arm rigidly fixed with respect to the first arm;   a pivot pin extending through the aperture in the mounting plate, the pivot pin being fixedly attached to a first washer positioned adjacent the inner surface of the mounting plate and to a second washer adjacent the outside surface of the mounting plate and to the first arm of the sleever bar receiving member; and   the first arm being pivotally attached parallel with an outer surface of the mounting plate for 360 degree rotary movement of the first arm relative to the mounting plate, and the second arm including an opening with the sleever bar received therethrough.   
     
     
         13 . A belt mounted sleever bar holder as claimed in  claim 12  further comprising:
 a ring shaped stop member fixedly attaching to the sleever bar intermediate a first end and a second end; and 
 the ring shaped stop member contacting the sleever bar receiving member retaining the sleever bar in the opening of the second arm.
