Patent attributes
A tool holder includes a body and mounting hardware, and holds a battery-powered tool. The body includes central and lateral panels that partly enclose and retain the battery of the tool. The mounting hardware is attached to a lateral panel and attaches the tool holder to a separate object or structure. The lateral panels have inwardly extending portions at their edges that support the enclosed battery and obstruct its movement away from the central panel and out of the body. The inwardly extending portions are spaced apart at a first end of the body, enabling insertion of the battery into the body with a handle portion of the tool extending away from the central panel. The tool holder retains and supports the tool with the battery retained within the body and without any other direct contact between the tool and the tool holder.
