Tool holder

Abstract

The present disclosure discusses tool holders and a tool holding system that can be attached and secured to the arms of a user.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A tool holder capable of being attached to an arm of a person, the tool holder comprising:
 a base comprising two longitudinal edges and two lateral edges, wherein one longitudinal edge is tapered with respect to the other longitudinal edge, wherein the two lateral edges are parallel to one another, and wherein one of the lateral edges is shorter than the other lateral edge;   a first row of receptacles attached to the base, wherein at least one of the receptacles in the first row is larger than another receptacle in the first row;   a second row of receptacles attached to the base, wherein at least one of the receptacles in the second row is larger than another receptacle in the second row, wherein the second row has a corresponding number of receptacles in the first row, wherein the first row and second row are parallel; and   two straps attached to the base, whereby the straps are capable of surrounding an arm of a person and thereby attaching the tool holder to the arm.   
     
     
         2 . The tool holder of  claim 1  further comprising an additional receptacle attached to the base, wherein the additional receptacle is formed separately from the first row of receptacles and second row of receptacles. 
     
     
         3 . The tool holder of  claim 1  wherein the base comprises a top layer, a bottom layer, and a stiffening layer interposed between the top layer and bottom layer. 
     
     
         4 . The tool holder of  claim 1 , wherein one of the straps is longer than the other strap. 
     
     
         5 . The tool holder of  claim 1 , wherein the base comprises opening though which the straps pass. 
     
     
         6 . The tool holder of  claim 1 , wherein the first row of receptacles is constructed of a first strip of material. 
     
     
         7 . The tool holder of  claim 7 , wherein the second row of receptacles is constructed of a second strip of material. 
     
     
         8 . The tool holder of  claim 8 , wherein the material for the first strip and second strip are the same. 
     
     
         9 . The tool holder of  claim 9 , wherein the material has elastic properties. 
     
     
         10 . A tool holder system for attaching tools to arms of a person, the tool holder comprising:
 a first tool holder, wherein the first tool holder comprises:
 a first base comprising two longitudinal edges and two lateral edges, wherein the longitudinal edges are not parallel to one another, wherein the two lateral edges are parallel to one another, and wherein one of the lateral edges is shorter than the other lateral edge; 
 a first row of receptacles attached to the base, wherein at least one of the receptacles in the first row is larger than another receptacle in the first row; 
 a second row of receptacles attached to the base, wherein at least one of the receptacles in the second row is larger than another receptacle in the second row, wherein the second row has a corresponding number of receptacles in the first row, wherein the first row and second row are parallel; and 
 two straps attached to the base, whereby the straps are capable of surrounding an arm of a person and thereby attaching the tool holder to the arm; and 
   a second tool holder, wherein the second tool holder comprises:
 a second base comprising two longitudinal edges and two lateral edges, wherein the longitudinal edges are not parallel to one another, wherein the two lateral edges are parallel to one another, and wherein one of the lateral edges is shorter than the other lateral edge; 
 a pair of receptacles attached to the base, wherein the pair of receptacles is parallel to the longer lateral edge; 
 a first pocket attached to the base, the first pocket comprising a first flap; and 
 a second pocket attached to the base, the second pocket comprising a second flap. 
   
     
     
         11 . The tool holder system of  claim 10 , wherein the first flap remains closed by a first closure system, and the second flap remains closed by a second closure system. 
     
     
         12 . The tool holder system of  claim 11 , wherein the first and second closure systems are mechanical fasteners. 
     
     
         13 . The tool holder system of  claim 11 , wherein the first and second closure systems are magnets. 
     
     
         14 . The tool holder system of  claim 11 , wherein the second tool holder further comprises a second pair of receptacles attached to the base. 
     
     
         15 . The tool holder system of  claim 12 , wherein the second pair of receptacles of the second tool holder is parallel to the first pair of receptacles of the second tool holder.
