Abstract:
1. A magnetic bit-holder bracelet device intended to be worn by a user on his wrist and to hold screwdriver bits or similar tools, comprising: a bracelet made of a polymer material, suitable for being attached or fastened to the wrist by having an overall cylindrical or annular shape whose axis of revolution substantially coincides with the axis of the wrist, wherein the bracelet integrates, over all or part of its circumference, a row of pockets; and holding cavities having an overall cylindrical and/or conical shape, which are integrated in the bracelet, each formed by one of the pockets, each holding cavity being provided with a bottom and with a receiving opening opposite the bottom and being suitable for receiving axially, in a removable manner, one of the bits so that the bit abuts with one of its free ends against the bottom of the holding cavity, while its other free end projects beyond the holding cavity to allow the bit to be grabbed, the bottom of each holding cavity including a magnet suitable for applying a magnetic force of attraction to the bit in order to retain it and hold it in the holding cavity, and wherein that, in the overall cylindrical or annular state of the bracelet, either each holding cavity extends axially along a generating line of a conical surface having an axis that substantially coincides with the axis of revolution of the bracelet, so as to position each bit obliquely with respect to the axis of revolution with a view to facilitating its being grabbed, or the holding cavities extend substantially parallel to the axis of revolution of the bracelet, wherein at least one of the pockets has a lateral wall that includes, on the outer side of the bracelet, a system for opening and for lateral extraction which makes it possible to move, if applicable, by pivoting or tilting, the bit inserted in the pocket from its position of axial or longitudinal insertion in the latter into a position, or position for transverse extraction, substantially perpendicular with respect to the axis of the pocket and in that the system consists of a cutout produced longitudinally, on the outer side of the bracelet, in the lateral wall of the pocket, from the edge of the receiving opening, by opening on the latter, toward the bottom of the pocket.
