  • Patent number: 6508390
    Abstract: A belt-mounted holder for spackle items. More particularly, the invention is an item that is removably attachable to a belt of a user, and functions to hold a hawk or spackle device so that the user does not have to put the item down while working. The holder is preferably constructed of simple metals or plastics, and consists of two main panels that are hingedly attached. A generally vertical panel is affixed to the user's belt area and stays against the user's body. The second panel folds down from the first panel to a position parallel to the ground. The panel folds and stays in such a position through usage of a spring loaded mechanism. Located on the second panel is a hole of sufficient diameter to receive the handle portion of the hawk.
