Abstract:
A drill bit container to feed a drill with drill bits may include the bit container being formed to access a drill body of the drill, and a continuous belt to mount a plurality of drill bits. The continuous belt may rotate to individually feed a preselected drill bit to the drill. The bit container may be translucent. The bit container may be transparent. The bit container may include a locking button. The drill may include a sliding lever to feed the drillbit to a chuck of the drill. The drillbit may be transversely mounted on the continuous belt.

Description:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
       [0001]    The present invention relates to drills and drill bits and more particularly to a drill bit container which may automatically feed drill bits to a drill. 
       BACKGROUND 
       [0002]    For a number of years, drill bits have been commonly used, for example in industry, for cutting holes in sheet metal or wood. However, in order to drill a different sized hole, a new drill bit must replace the original drill bit. This usually involves different drill bits to be mounted to and dismounted from a chuck of a powered tool. 
       SUMMARY 
       [0003]    A drill bit container to feed a drill with drill bits may include the bit container being formed to access a drill body of the drill, and a continuous belt to mount a plurality of drill bits. 
         [0004]    The continuous belt may rotate to individually feed a preselected drill bit to the drill. 
         [0005]    The bit container may be translucent. 
         [0006]    The bit container may be transparent. 
         [0007]    The bit container may include a locking button. 
         [0008]    The drill may include a sliding lever to feed the drillbit to a chuck of the drill. 
         [0009]    The driver/drill bit may be transversely mounted on the continuous belt.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
       [0019]      FIG. 1  illustrates a perspective view of the bit container  107  which may be a rectangular container, and oval container or other shape in which may include a front wall  131  which may be connected to a pair of opposing side walls  133 , a bottom wall  135  and a top wall  137  and may include a pair of opposing side walls  133  which may be connected to the front wall  131 , a back wall  139 , a top wall  137  and a bottom wall  135  and may include a bottom wall  135  which may be connected to a pair of opposing side walls  133 , the front wall  131  and the back wall  139  and may include a top wall  137  which may be connected to the front wall  131 , the back wall  139  and the pair of opposing side walls  133  and may include a back wall  139  which may be connected to the pair of opposing side walls  133  the top wall  137  and the back wall  139 . The front wall  131 , the sidewall  133 , the back wall  139 , the bottom wall  135  and the top wall  137  may define a cavity. 
         [0020]    The bit container  107  may be formed from rigid plastic, metal, glass or other appropriate material and may be formed from transparent or translucent material in order that the driver/drill bit  101  may be seen before it is the dispensed into the drill body  129 . Different size drill bits  101  may be contained in the bit container  107  so the driver/drill bits  101  may be selected without the need to remove the driver/drill bit  101  from the bit container  107 . 
         [0021]    The bit container  107  may include a locking button  108  to hold the bit container  107  into the drill body  129  and to limit the movement of the drillbit&#39; 101  to a predetermined number of clicks so that the driver/drill bit  101  may line up correctly in the drill body  129 . 
         [0022]      FIG. 3  illustrates a continuous belt  105  which may include a multitude of drill bits  101  which may be transversely mounted on the continuous belt  105 . The continuous belt may include a multitude of flexible and expandable straps  103  which may be expandable in order to retain different size driver/drill bit  101 . The continuous belt  105  may be positioned and driven by a opposed pair of belt drive wheels  109  which may be connected to a shaft  107 . 
         [0023]      FIG. 4  illustrates a portion of the continuous belt  105  having a driver/drill bit  101  being mounted traverse to the direction of movement of the continuous belt  105  and a flexible and expandable straps  103  to hold the driver/drill bit  101  on the continuous belt  105 .
