Securing device for tool

Abstract

A case for a tool having a pocket with a base panel, first and second side panels, first and second end panels, and first and second slots. A first strap having a first proximal end affixed to the pocket first and a first distal end and a second strap having a second proximal end affixed to the pocket and a second distal end. The first and second straps are configured to crisscross each other, and the first distal end is configured to pass through the first slot and the second distal end is configured to pass through the second slot.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A case for a tool comprising:
 a pocket having a base panel, first and second side panels, first and second end panels, and first and second slots;   a first strap having a first distal end and a first proximal end, the first proximal end affixed to the pocket; and   a second strap having a second distal end and a second proximal end, the second proximal end affixed to the pocket,   wherein the first and second straps are configured to crisscross each other, and   wherein the first distal end is configured to pass through the first slot and the second distal end is configured to pass through the second slot.   
     
     
         2 . The case of  claim 1 , wherein the first strap is configured to pass through the first slot from inside the pocket and the second strap is configured to pass through the second slot from inside the pocket. 
     
     
         3 . The case of  claim 1 , wherein the first and second distal ends are configured to converge outside of the pocket. 
     
     
         4 . The case of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a first fastener affixed to the first distal end of the first strap; and   a second fastener affixed to the second distal end of the second strap.   
     
     
         5 . The case of  claim 1 , wherein the pocket is configured to receive a base portion of the tool. 
     
     
         6 . The case of  claim 5 , wherein the base portion includes a rechargeable battery. 
     
     
         7 . The case of  claim 5 , wherein the tool includes a handle and an active portion that remain outside of the pocket. 
     
     
         8 . The case of  claim 5 , wherein the first and second straps crisscross over the base portion of the tool. 
     
     
         9 . The case of  claim 5 , wherein the first and second straps crisscross around a handle of the tool. 
     
     
         10 . A case for a tool comprising:
 a pocket having a base panel, first and second side panels, first and second end panels, and first and second slots;   a first strap having a first distal end and a first proximal end, the first proximal end affixed to the pocket;   a second strap having a second distal end and a second proximal end, the second proximal end affixed to the pocket; and   an upper portion extending from at least one of the first side panel, second side panel, first end panel and second end panel,   wherein the first and second straps are configured to crisscross each other, and   wherein the first distal end is configured to pass through the first slot and the second distal end is configured to pass through the second slot.   
     
     
         11 . The case of  claim 10 , wherein the tool includes a base portion and the first and second straps are configured to crisscross over the base portion. 
     
     
         12 . The case of  claim 10 , wherein the tool includes handle portion and the first and second straps are configured to crisscross around the handle. 
     
     
         13 . The case of  claim 10 , further comprising:
 a first ring fastener affixed to the first distal end of the first strap; and   a second ring fastener affixed to the second distal end of the second strap.   
     
     
         14 . The case of  claim 10 , wherein the pocket comprises a canvas material. 
     
     
         15 . The case of  claim 10 , wherein the upper portion comprises one of a woven material, a mesh material and a netting material. 
     
     
         16 . A method of securing a tool, comprising:
 providing a case having a pocket, a first strap, a second strap, a first slot and a second slot;   placing a base portion of a tool in the pocket;   crisscrossing the first and second straps across the base portion;   passing a distal end of the first strap through the first slot;   passing a distal end of the second strap through the second slot; and   converging the distal ends of the first and second straps outside the pocket.   
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the case includes an upper portion, and the method further comprising enclosing the upper portion around the based portion of the tool. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 16 , further comprising fastening the distal ends of the first and second straps to a fastener. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the pocket has a first material and the upper portion has a second material. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 19 , wherein the first material includes canvas and the second material includes one of a woven material, a mesh material and a netting material.
