First Claim
1. A drop-prevention pouch for a cordless power tool having a battery pack that defines a battery pack perimeter, the drop-prevention pouch comprising:
- a pouch floor;
a pouch sidewall extending transversely from the pouch floor, the pouch sidewall having a sidewall rim portion defining a pouch opening with a pouch opening perimeter, wherein the pouch floor and the pouch sidewall define a chamber sized to receive the battery pack where the pouch floor and the pouch sidewall are adjacent the battery pack when the battery back is attached to the cordless power tool;
a flexible channel conduit extending along and being formed by the sidewall rim portion; and
a drawstring extending through the flexible conduit, such that a portion of the drawstring extends at least partially within the flexible conduit, and a second portion of the drawstring extends at least partially out of the flexible conduit, and the drawstring capable of restricting the pouch opening perimeter to be smaller than a battery pack perimeter, thereby preventing the drop-prevention pouch from being removed from the battery pack when the battery pack is attached to the cordless power tool; and
wherein the pouch sidewall defines a window opening aligned to permit the user to view a feature on the battery pack.

15. A drop-prevention pouch for a cordless power tool having a battery pack that defines a battery pack perimeter, the drop-prevention pouch comprising:
-
a pouch floor; a pouch sidewall extending transversely from the pouch floor and having an elasticized rim portion defining a pouch opening, wherein the pouch floor and the pouch sidewall define a chamber sized to snugly receive the battery pack when the battery back is attached to the cordless power tool with the pouch floor and the pouch sidewall adjacent the battery pack; a cord lock strap fixedly connected to an outside surface of the pouch and defining a passageway between the cord lock strap and the outside surface of the pouch; a retaining cord having a foot portion constructed to extend over a foot of the cordless power tool when the pouch is installed on a battery pack connected to the cordless power tool, a first retaining cord portion extending from the foot portion into the cavity and through a first sidewall portion to outside the chamber, and a second retaining cord portion extending from the foot portion into the cavity and through a second sidewall portion opposite the first sidewall portion to outside the chamber; and a cord lock installed on the retaining cord outside of the chamber and connecting the first retaining cord portion to the second retaining cord portion; wherein when the cord lock is positioned between the cord lock strap and the conduit opening, and wherein the cord lock strap is constructed and arranged to prevent the cord lock from passing through the passageway when the first retaining cord portion and the second retaining cord portion are pulled through the passageway and away from the conduit opening, thereby urging the retaining cord to tighten around the foot portion of the cordless power tool; and wherein the pouch sidewall defines a window opening aligned to permit the user to view a feature on the battery pack. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)
