| Abstract: |
A split resilient ring has a pair of converging implement socketing sleeves anchored thereto and adapted to receive various implements whose work-engaging terminals may extend substantially outwardly of one or both corresponding ends of the socketing sleeves. The work-engaging implement terminals can be biased apart or together by the holder for a variety of useful operations. In lieu of the split resilient ring, a wedge fulcrum member may engage converging or diverging implements biased by elastic elements.

First Claim:
Show all 10 claims |
I claim:
1. A biased holder for diverse rod-like implements comprising a body portion having spaced seating means for a pair of coacting implements, with a part of said body portion lying between said seating means and providing a fulcrum about which implements seated in said seating means may be moved, said body portion including resilient means associated therewith and biasing said implements to one operative position and yielding to allow movement of the implements under manual force to a second operative position, said body portion comprising a divided arcuate resilient member, and said seating means comprising a pair of sleeves on said arcuate resilient member adapted to receive and hold terminals of a coacting pair of rod-like implements, said divided arcuate resilient member being a divided annulus, and said sleeves being convergent and tapering toward corresponding ends and being fixedly secured to said annulus on opposite sides of the division in the annulus and being on axes which extend chordwise of the annulus.
