| 20090145791 | Drill and driver bit organizer and storage case - Drill and driver bit organizer and storage case includes a case formed of a plurality of planar panels consisting of end and intermediate panels. The panels are hingedly connected to each other to form a fan-folded arrangement of zigzag panels with intermediate panels being joined to either other intermediate panels or to an intermediate panel and an end panel while the end panels are joined to an intermediate panel to allow the panels to be collapsed into a closed case in which the panels are arranged in substantially parallel planes and into an expanded or extended condition in which the panels are unfolded out of said parallel planes. Each of the panels include securing members for receiving a plurality of drill and/or driver bits. Thus the case is closed and protects the bits in the collapsed condition when it is closed and provides access to the bits in any of the panels when unfolded. | 06-11-2009 |
| 20090152150 | RETENTION DUAL USE BIT HOLDER - A bit holder, comprising a base having a plurality of longitudinally oriented bit compartments for releasably storing multiple tool bits, a retention member positioned on the outside of the base for releasably retaining the tool bits within the base, and a magnetic member engaged with the base for allowing the base to be removably attached to a metal surface for storage. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20090188823 | DRILL BIT HOLDER/BIT CHANGE-OVER DEVICE | 07-30-2009 |
| 20090255840 | Toolbox - A toolbox includes a shell, a holder and a cover. The shell includes two grooves defined therein and two inclined faces formed thereon near the grooves. The holder is disposed in the shell and formed with a plurality of holes for receiving bits. The cover includes two lugs extended from a side thereof and two blocks each formed on a related one of the lugs and formed with an inclined face. The blocks are movably disposed in the grooves so that the cover can be moved relative to the shell. When the cover is moved away from the shell, the cover can be pivoted relative to the shell so that the inclined faces of the blocks are located against the inclined faces of the shell, thus limiting the pivoting of the cover relative to the shell. | 10-15-2009 |
| 20100012539 | Combinable Cylindrical Tool Head Holder - A cylinder assembled tool head holder is made of plastic and comprises an inserting portion and an assembling portion. Plural holders can be pivotally assembled to one another though the neighboring inserting portions and assembling portions to define plural inserting spaces for insertion of tool heads. By such arrangements, a predetermined number of tool head holders can be assembled as desired for insertion of a corresponding number of tool heads, thus improving the convenience in carrying and use. | 01-21-2010 |
| 20100108552 | APPARATUS FOR FACILITATING AN IN USE CONNECTION OF AN ACCESSORY AND A DRILL - An apparatus for facilitating in use connection of an accessory, such as a drill bit, to a drill. The apparatus includes an accessory holder for holding the accessory and drill engaging means for facilitating accurate location of the drill relative to the accessory holder. Also disclosed is a drill suitable for use with the apparatus for facilitating in use connection of an accessory. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20100122926 | TOOL BIT EXCHANGE SYSTEM AND METHOD - A bit exchange system for use with a tool includes a driver bit engageable with the tool and defining an axis. Each of a plurality of adapters has a first end configured to engage the driver bit along the axis and a second end configured to retain a tool bit.

Each of the plurality of adapters is insertable into and removable from the respective receptacle with a motion substantially perpendicular to the axis while engaged by the driver bit. | 05-20-2010 |
| 20110192746 | SECURE HANGING STRUCTURE OF TOOL CASE - A secure hanging structure is provided for a tool case and includes a cap like cover board member, of which a cover inside surface forms projecting retention pawls at locations corresponding to recesses defined in an open rim of a package case and positioning tabs that protects the case against deformation and thus disengagement caused by depression, whereby the cover board member is positionable to close the enclosure opening rim of the case and realize the function of secure retaining engagement for suspension and hanging. At the connection of the positioning plate of one side to the cover board member, an open slot is defined and a fixing framing bar is provided above the slot opening, whereby after cutting of the framing bar, the positioning plate is allowed to move for opening the cover board member. | 08-11-2011 |
| 20110233089 | Caddy For Use With A Tool Case Such As A Drill Index Box - A caddy for use with a drill index box includes a base member configured to receive the drill index box. An attachment device is rotatably coupled to the base member, the attachment device having means for coupling to a wall when the attachment device is rotated to a first position relative to the base member. The attachment member may be coupled to a pegboard when the attachment device is rotated to a second position relative to the base member, the first position being distinct from the second position. The caddy includes a locking bar movably coupled to the base member to selectively restrain the drill index box between the base member and the locking bar. | 09-29-2011 |
| 20130037434 | Drill Driver Multiple Drive Bit Holder, Screw Cap Container Type - A detachable multiple drive bit holder for cordless and powered drill drivers, impact drivers, and drills, all referred from here on as drill drivers. This bit holder will hold multiple accessories and connect to drill drivers. Most drill drivers, particularly cordless drill drivers, have a slot in the body of the driver to hold spare drive bits. Drill drivers typically have only one of these slots, allowing only one spare driver bit. The driver multiple drive bit holder utilizes this single slot manufactured into the body of a drill driver to hold a container that stores multiple drive bits of various sizes. | 02-14-2013 |
