Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
181 words
A toolholding device comprising a substantially rigid support member and a thick resilient member carried by the support member; said support member being of one-piece construction including a top wall and depending sidewalls, one sidewall having an inwardly extending bottom flange, the other sidewall having a depending extension provided with an inwardly turned back ply, said extension and ply have aligned apertures adapted to receive driven fastenings for mounting the support member on a supporting surface, said ply having an inturned flange at its upper end disposed coplanar with the first mentioned flange and spaced therefrom to provide a space between the flanges, said top wall having an opening aligning witH said space; said resilient member having intersecting cross slits disposed in alignment with said opening, said cross slits extending through the resilient member and forming corresponding inwardly tapered segments adapted to yieldably grip a long slender shank or stem of a tool or implement when inserted through the opening and the slitted portion of the resilient member and through said space for yieldably supporting the shank in the toolholding device.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
