Abstract
Abstract A tool holder including a handle assembly comprising a pair of confronting elongated members interlocked adjacent one end and adapted to releasably clamp a tool therebetween. The opposite ends of the elongated members are releasably secured by fastener means, which, when released, allows removal and/or replacement of the tool, for example, a knife blade.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
128 words
A tool holder comprising an elongated handle formed from a pair of elongated confronting members, one of said members having an aperture closely adjacent one end, the other of said members being slidably fittable through said aperture whereby to interlock said handle members in centerless pivot fashion, said aperture and said other member being sized to allow straight assembly and disassembly of said members without turning thereof, said elongated members being formed at said one end to clampingly engage a tool therebetween when pressed together in said confronting relationship, said elongated members being formed at their other ends with complementary screw threads, and a nut removably threaded on said other ends of said members to hold said members in said confronting relationship and clampingly engaged with said tool.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
128 words
A tool holder comprising an elongated handle formed from a pair of elongated confronting members, one of said members having an aperture closely adjacent one end, the other of said members being slidably fittable through said aperture whereby to interlock said handle members in centerless pivot fashion, said aperture and said other member being sized to allow straight assembly and disassembly of said members without turning thereof, said elongated members being formed at said one end to clampingly engage a tool therebetween when pressed together in said confronting relationship, said elongated members being formed at their other ends with complementary screw threads, and a nut removably threaded on said other ends of said members to hold said members in said confronting relationship and clampingly engaged with said tool.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
141 words
A tool holder comprising an elongated handle formed from a pair of elongated confronting members, one of said members having an aperture closely adjacent one end, the other of said members being slidably fittable through said aperture and being devoid of any positive connection therewith, whereby to interlock said handle members in centerless pivot fashion, said aperture and said other member being sized to allow straight assembly and disassembly of said members without turning thereof, said elongated members being formed at said one end to clampingly engage a tool therebetween when pressed together in said confronting relationship, said elongated members being formed at their other ends with integral complementary means, and fastening means removably secured to said integral complementary means on said other ends of said members to hold said members in said confronting relationship and clampingly engaged with said tool.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
141 words
A tool holder comprising an elongated handle formed from a pair of elongated confronting members, one of said members having an aperture closely adjacent one end, the other of said members being slidably fittable through said aperture and being devoid of any positive connection therewith, whereby to interlock said handle members in centerless pivot fashion, said aperture and said other member being sized to allow straight assembly and disassembly of said members without turning thereof, said elongated members being formed at said one end to clampingly engage a tool therebetween when pressed together in said confronting relationship, said elongated members being formed at their other ends with integral complementary means, and fastening means removably secured to said integral complementary means on said other ends of said members to hold said members in said confronting relationship and clampingly engaged with said tool.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
144 words
A tool holder comprising an elongated handle formed from a pair of elongated confronting members, one of said members having an aperture closely adjacent one end, the other of said members having an angular offset closely adjacent one end and being slidably fittable through said aperture whereby to interlock said handle members in centerless pivot fashion, said aperture and said other member being sized to allow straight assembly and disassembly of said members without turning thereof, said elongated members being formed at said one end to slightly deflect and claimpingly engage a tool therebetween when their other ends are pressed together in said confronting relationship, said elongated members being formed at their other ends with complementary screw threads, and a nut removably threaded on said other ends of said members to hold said members in said confronting relationship and clampingly engaged with said tool.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
138 words
A tool holder comprising an elongated handle formed from a pair of hollow elongated confronting members which, when fitted together form a smooth, continuous body, one of said members having an aperture closely adjacent one end, the other of said members, being slidably fittable through said aperture whereby to interlock said handle members in centerless pivot fashion, said aperture and said other member being sized to allow straight assembly and disassembly of said members without turning thereof, said elongated members being formed at said one end to clampingly engage a tool therebetween when pressed together in said confronting relationship, said elongated members being formed at their other ends with complementary screw threads, and a nut removably threaded on said other ends of said members to hold said members in said confronting relationship and clampingly engaged with said tool.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
138 words
A tool holder comprising an elongated handle formed from a pair of hollow elongated confronting members which, when fitted together form a smooth, continuous body, one of said members having an aperture closely adjacent one end, the other of said members, being slidably fittable through said aperture whereby to interlock said handle members in centerless pivot fashion, said aperture and said other member being sized to allow straight assembly and disassembly of said members without turning thereof, said elongated members being formed at said one end to clampingly engage a tool therebetween when pressed together in said confronting relationship, said elongated members being formed at their other ends with complementary screw threads, and a nut removably threaded on said other ends of said members to hold said members in said confronting relationship and clampingly engaged with said tool.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
135 words
A tool holder comprising an elongated handle formed from a pair of elongated confronting members, one of said members having an aperture closely adjacent one end, the other of said members being slidably fittable through said aperture whereby to interlock said handle members in centerless pivot fashion, said aPerture and said other member being sized to allow straight assembly and disassembly of said members without turning thereof, said elongated members being formed at said one end to clampingly engage a tool therebetween when pressed together in said confronting relationship, said elongated members each being generally semi-cylindrical at their other ends and formed with integral means defining continuous screw threads, and a nut removably threaded on said other ends of said members to hold said members in said confronting relationship and clampingly engaged with said tool.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
135 words
A tool holder comprising an elongated handle formed from a pair of elongated confronting members, one of said members having an aperture closely adjacent one end, the other of said members being slidably fittable through said aperture whereby to interlock said handle members in centerless pivot fashion, said aPerture and said other member being sized to allow straight assembly and disassembly of said members without turning thereof, said elongated members being formed at said one end to clampingly engage a tool therebetween when pressed together in said confronting relationship, said elongated members each being generally semi-cylindrical at their other ends and formed with integral means defining continuous screw threads, and a nut removably threaded on said other ends of said members to hold said members in said confronting relationship and clampingly engaged with said tool.
