TOOL HANDLE WITH BIT CARRIER
First Claim
1. A tool handle comprising:
- a body including a first end and a second end, the first end of the body being adapted for coupling with a bit-coupling member, the second end of the body including a compartment, the body further including two lateral sides, one of the lateral sides having an opening in communication with the compartment;
a bit carrier mounted in the compartment of the body and movable relative to the body in a longitudinal direction, the bit carrier including a bit-holding section for holding at least one bit, a retaining member being mounted to the bit carrier for retaining the bit carrier to the body; and
an actuating member mounted in the opening of the body, the actuating member being operable to move the bit carrier from a storage position to an ejected position not falling out of the body and to impart a frictional force between the retaining member and the body to prevent the bit carrier from falling out of the body.

Abstract
A tool handle includes a body, a bit carrier, and an actuating member. An end of the body includes a compartment. One of two lateral sides of the body has an opening in communication with the compartment. The bit carrier is mounted in the compartment of the body and movable relative to the body in a longitudinal direction. The bit carrier includes a bit-holding section for holding at least one bit. A retaining member is mounted to the bit carrier for retaining the bit carrier to the body. The actuating member is mounted in the opening of the body. The actuating member is operable to move the bit carrier from a storage position to an ejected position not falling out of the body and to impart a frictional force between the retaining member and the body to prevent the bit carrier from falling out of the body.

20. A tool handle comprising:
-
a body including a first end and a second end, the first end of the body being adapted for coupling with a bit-coupling member, the second end of the body including a compartment, the body further including two lateral sides, each of the lateral sides having an opening in communication with the compartment;
a bit carrier mounted in the compartment of the body and movable relative to the body in a longitudinal direction, the bit carrier including a bit-holding section for holding at least one bit, a retaining member being mounted to the bit carrier for retaining the bit carrier in the compartment of the body; and
two actuating members respectively mounted in the openings of the body, said actuating members being operable to move the bit carrier from a storage position to an ejected position not falling out of the body and to impart a frictional force between the retaining member and the body to prevent the bit carrier from falling out of the body. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39)
