Patent attributes
A tool holder with a J-shaped body. A gate includes an arm that is pivotally attached to a finger at the top of the body. The gate pivots between a closed position where the gate spans the opening between the two free ends of the body, an inside position where the gate is pivoted into the inside the body, and an outside position where gate is pivoted to outside the body. A biasing mechanism biases the gate to the closed position. An optional gate lock prevents the gate from opening when engaged. A barrel either rotates or slides, depending in the configuration, on the arm between an unlocked position where the gate can move between the inside, closed, and outside positions, and a locked position where the gate is retained in the closed position. An attachment secures the tool holder to flat webbing.
