Patent number: 6206188Abstract: A receptacle for the safe storage and disposal of used cutting blades, the receptacle being configured as a closed receptacle having an insert slot at opposite ends for the insertion of the used cutting blades into the receptacle. Each insert slot includes an angled guide for guiding the used cutting blade toward the insert slot. Interiorly, the angled guides act as detents inside the closed receptacle to inhibit the inadvertent dislodgement of the used cutting blade outwardly through the adjacent insert slot. The top wall of the receptacle is angled inwardly into the receptacle to serve as a deflector to prevent a used cutting blade from passing directly from one insert slot to the other insert slot. The receptacle is configured to be belt mounted or to be releasably secured to a toolbox, wall, or the like. The receptacle is also configured to be readily disposable when filled with used cutting blades.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2000Date of Patent: March 27, 2001Inventor: Mark Alexander

Patent number: 6189756Abstract: A one-piece belt loop device of a relatively rigid material for use with a web of Velcro® fastener material includes a base having top and bottom edges with a pair of side edges extending therebetween. Recesses in the top and bottom edges provide guidelines for stitching the top and bottom edges of the base to the holster with the side edges free of the holster. The base thus presents a first loop for extension of a user's belt therethrough. A central housing presents upper and lower apertures with a raised central surface therebetween for attachment of a spring belt clipped thereto to clip the holster to the user's belt. A thumb break strap can be further extended between the apertures and has Velcro® material thereon releasably engageable with the underlying Velcro® material. The belt loop device enhances assembly and presents a reinforced belt attachment structure.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 1998Date of Patent: February 20, 2001Assignee: Mil-Tech, Inc.Inventor: Robert Cleveland Ward

Patent number: 6179185Abstract: The present invention relates to tool carriers usually used on work belts, aprons, bucket carriers and the like. The present invention comprises a tool carrier or bag that has at least one handle on the top thereof so that it can be carried from place to place in an upright position, either while it is still on a work belt that is not currently being worn or being carried by itself. In the preferred embodiment, a structurally strong handle is attached to the back of the tool carrier proximate the area in which a belt may be inserted through the tool carrier by heavy duty attachment means. It is preferable to use two tool carriers each having a handle through which the user's hand is inserted in order to provide even weight distribution when the belt is being carried from place to place.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 1999Date of Patent: January 30, 2001Inventor: Michael Dancyger

Patent number: 6161742Abstract: A pager holder including a generally rectangular primary strip of a durable material with a central fold line at the upper extent to provide an exterior portion and an interior portion of substantially the same length. The lower extent of the exterior portion and the lower extent of the interior portion are sewn together by stitching along a rectangular periphery for the majority of their extents but sufficient to retain an unstitched loop in the upper region for the passage of a belt therethrough. A supplemental patch of supplemental material is provided. The supplemental patch of material has a width essentially equal to the width of the primary strip. The supplemental patch is sewn by stitching along its vertical edges coextensive with the vertical edges of the primary strip through common threads to form a vertical loop for the receipt of a pager clip and an open upper edge and lower edge.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 1999Date of Patent: December 19, 2000Inventor: Alen D.
