Abstract
Abstract A drill holder device includes a bracket which is attachable to the inside surface of the cover of a tool box. A drill container is pivoted to the bracket and the container has a plurality of openings therein, each opening receiving a different size drill therein. Each drill projects exteriorly from the container, and a retainer is pivotally mounted on the drill container and prevents the drills from falling from the container when the tool box cover is closed. However, the drill container will swing away from the retainer when the tool box cover is in the fully open position, thereby permitting ready removal and replacement of the drills with respect to the container.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
197 words
A drill holder device adapted to be mounted on a tool box cover and adapted to contain a plurality of drills, comprising mounting means adapted to be attached to the inner surface of the cover of a tool box, a drill container having a plurality of longitudinally spacedapart openings therein each adapted to receive a drill therein so that a portion of each drill projects exteriorly of the container, said drill container being pivotally connected with said mounting means for permitting pivotal movement of the container relative to the mounting means during opening and closing of the tool box cover, a retainer structure pivotally connected to the drill container for relative pivotal movement between the tool box cover and container so that a portion of the retaining structure will overlie the drills in obstructing relation and retain the same in the container and when the tool box cover is in a closed horizontal position, and when the tool box cover is in a generally vertically oriented position, the tool container will pivot relative to the retainer structure so that said portion of the retaining structure is disposed out of overlying relation with respect to drills in container.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
197 words
A drill holder device adapted to be mounted on a tool box cover and adapted to contain a plurality of drills, comprising mounting means adapted to be attached to the inner surface of the cover of a tool box, a drill container having a plurality of longitudinally spacedapart openings therein each adapted to receive a drill therein so that a portion of each drill projects exteriorly of the container, said drill container being pivotally connected with said mounting means for permitting pivotal movement of the container relative to the mounting means during opening and closing of the tool box cover, a retainer structure pivotally connected to the drill container for relative pivotal movement between the tool box cover and container so that a portion of the retaining structure will overlie the drills in obstructing relation and retain the same in the container and when the tool box cover is in a closed horizontal position, and when the tool box cover is in a generally vertically oriented position, the tool container will pivot relative to the retainer structure so that said portion of the retaining structure is disposed out of overlying relation with respect to drills in container.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
41 words
The drill holder device as defined in claim 1 wherein said mounting means comprises a bracket, and wherein the pivotal axis of said drill container is disposed in substantially parallel relation with respect to the pivotal axis of the retainer structure.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
47 words
The drill holder device as defined in claim 1 wherein said drill container is of elongate construction and includes an upper longitudinal edge and a lower longitudinal edge, and wherein the pivotal axis of said drill container is located between the upper and lower longitudinal edges thereof.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
29 words
The drill holder device as defined in claim 3 wherein the pivotal axis of said retainer structure is located closely adjacent a lower longitudinal edge of the drill container.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
60 words
The drill holder device as defined in claim 1 wherein said retainer structure includes a web portion and a pair of legs depending therefrom, the latter being pivotally connected to the drill container closely adjacent the lower longitudinal edge thereof, said retainer structure having a flange thereon engageable with the drill container to limit pivotal movement of the retainer structure.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
46 words
The drill holder device as defined in claim 1 wherein said drill container is of elongate hollow construction and includes a front wall, a rear wall, an upper wall, and a lower wall, said upper wall being of arcuate configuration and presenting a convex upper surface.
