Abstract:
1. A tool holder for holding tools in a desired position comprising: a housing and a magnetic surface being combined with the housing to releasably support at least one tool on the tool holder; the housing including at least a first channel and a second channel to receive the magnetic surface; the tool holder having a low structure to facilitate use or storage thereof; a slot being positioned between the channels to support at least one tool; the tool holder being mountable on a magnetically receptive surface; the housing being a large enclosed housing; the housing being formed from a nonferrous material having a long, slender shape; the first channel being a first magnet tunnel to receive at least a first magnetic segment therein; the second channel being a second magnet tunnel to receive at least a second magnetic segment therein; the slot being positioned between the first channel and the second channel; the slot being a T-shaped stud channel; the nonferrous material being nonmagnetic; the large enclosed housing including a first outside tool channel and a second outside tool channel; the first outside tool channel and the second outside tool channel being on opposite sides of the large enclosed housing; the first magnet tunnel being between the first outside tool channel and the T-shaped stud channel; the second magnet tunnel being between the second outside tool channel and the T-shaped stud channel; the first outside tool channel and the second outside tool channel being T-shaped; a T-shaped stud fitting in the first outside tool channel and the second outside tool channel; a first lower channel and a second lower channel being present in an expanded housing; the first lower channel being adjacent to a first outside tool channel and on a bottom portion of the expanded housing adjacent to a first edge thereof; the second lower channel being adjacent to a second outside tool channel and on a bottom portion of the expanded housing adjacent to a second edge thereof; the housing being nonferrous material and nonmagnetic; the housing being formed of at least one of a plastic material, a metallic material, and a plastic and metallic combination; the slot being a T-shaped channel; the T-shaped channel receiving a T-stud assembly; at least two movable pegs being mounted on the housing; the at least two movable pegs each including a sliding member of a non ferrous material and a tightenable member; the tightenable member being rounded in to facilitate placing a tool on the tool holder; the sliding member having a platform within the slot with a rod protruding from the platform above the slot; the tightenable member fixing the platform in a desired position within the T-shaped slot; the rod having male threads thereon to form a male threaded member; the tightenable member having female threads as a female threaded member thereon adapted to receive the male threads of the male threaded member; the tightenable member having an outer ridged side; the tightenable member having a threaded end and an unthreaded end; the tightenable member having a slight taper in order to provide gripping capability and in order to facilitate removal thereof from a mold during a manufacturing process; the slight taper being up to about ten degrees; and the slight taper running from the unthreaded end and narrowing down to the threaded end.
