Abstract

A tool holder includes a foldable plastic sheet being folded and configured to include a hanging end and a holding end. The hanging end and the holding end integrally form a one piece structure. The holding end having a first edge, a second edge, a first lateral edge, and a second lateral edge, with the first and second edges and the first and second lateral edges delimiting a circumferential periphery of a receiving space in which the first and second edges are opposite each other and the first and second lateral edges are opposite each other and respectively extend from two lateral sides of the first edge to two lateral sides of the second edge. A joint edge is distal the first lateral edge extending therefrom and adhered to the second lateral edge.

Claims

1. A tool holder comprising:

a foldable plastic sheet being folded and configured to include a hanging end and a holding end, with the hanging end and the holding end delimited at different heights in a height direction of the tool holder, with the hanging end and the holding end integrally forming a one piece structure, with the hanging end including at least one slot extending therethrough, with the holding end having a first edge, a second edge, a first lateral edge, and a second lateral edge, with the first and second edges and the first and second lateral edges delimiting a circumferential periphery of a receiving space in which the first and second edges are opposite each other and the first and second lateral edges are opposite each other and respectively extend from two lateral sides of the first edge to two lateral sides of the second edge, and a joint edge being distal to the first lateral edge extending therefrom and adhered to the second lateral edge.

2. The tool holder as claimed in claim 1, wherein the plastic sheet has a uniform thickness in which the hanging end, the first and second edges, first and second lateral edges, and the joint edge have the same thickness.

3. The tool holder as claimed in claim 1, wherein the hanging end includes a hang hole, wherein the at least one slot and the hang hole extend in the height direction of the tool holder and respectively define first and second lengths, and wherein the at least one slot and the hang hole extend in a width direction and respectively define first and second widths, with the width direction perpendicular to the height direction.

4. The tool holder as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first and second edge are parallel to each other and have cross sections taken in the height direction of the tool holder corresponding to each other, and wherein the first and second lateral edges are parallel to each other and have cross sections taken in the height direction of the tool holder corresponding to each other.

5. The tool holder as claimed in claim 1, wherein the joint edge is adhered to the second lateral edge using a high-frequency method.

6. The tool holder as claimed in claim 1, wherein the receiving space has a top open end and a bottom open end opposite to the top open end in the height direction of the tool holder.

7. A method of making a tool holder comprising:

preparing a material for making the tool holder, with the material being a foldable plastic sheet;

shaping the material, with the material configured to include a hanging end and a holding end, with the hanging end and the holding end delimited at different heights in a height direction of the tool holder, with the hanging end including at least one slot extending therethrough, with the holding end having a first edge, a second edge, a first lateral edge, a second lateral edge, and a joint edge, with the first edge, the second edge, the first lateral edge, the second lateral edge, and the joint edge connected together in a width direction of the tool holder, with the width direction perpendicular to the height direction, with the first and second lateral edges respectively extending from two lateral sides of the first edge, with the first lateral edge connecting to a lateral side of the second edge, and with the joint edge being distal to the first lateral edge extending therefrom;

folding the holding end, with the holding end configured to include the first and second edges and the first and second lateral edges delimiting a circumferential periphery of a receiving space; and

adhering the joint edge to the second lateral edge.

8. The method of making a tool holder as claimed in claim 7, wherein the first lateral edge, the second lateral edge and the joint edge are folded 90 degrees with respect to the first edge and the second edge.

9. The method of making the tool holder as claimed in claim 7, wherein the material is shaped, with the material configured to include a hang hole, with the at least one slot and the hang hole extending in the height direction of the tool holder and respectively define first and second lengths, with the at least one slot and the hang hole extending in a width direction and respectively define first and second widths, with the width direction perpendicular to the height direction.

10. The method of making the tool holder as claimed in claim 7, wherein the material is shaped, with the first edge, the second edge, the first lateral edge, and the second lateral edge have rectangular cross sections taken in the height direction of the tool holder.

11. The method of making the tool holder as claimed in claim 7, wherein the material prepared for making the tool holder is made of polypropylene.

12. The method of making the tool holder as claimed in claim 7, wherein the material is adhered, with the joint edge adhered to the second lateral edges using a high-frequency method.

13. The method of making the tool holder as claimed in claim 7, wherein the material is folded, with receiving space having a top open end and a bottom open end opposite to the top open end in the height direction of the tool holder.
