Abstract
For holding a hand drill which has a main drill casing with a rearwardly projecting butt-end, a forwardly located chuck, and an elongate handle angularly related to and connecting with the main drill casing spaced from the rear extremity of the butt-end, a holster is provided including a lower receptacle capable of receiving a forward portion of the hand drill and preventing that forward portion from moving laterally away. Included is a means for resiliently urging the hand drill upwardly. The holster also includes an upper receptacle defining a downwardly opening aperture sized to slidingly receive the rearward butt-end of the casing. Structural members are provided to support the upper and lower receptacles at a fixed spacing, which is such that the hand drill can be stored by first inserting the forwarding portion into the first means, then pressing the hand drill downwardly against the urging of the resilient means until the butt-end slips into the aperture defined by the upper receptacle, then allowing the third means to move the hand drill upwardly so that the butt-end attains secure engagement with the upper receptacle.
