The formed structure etc. are also proposed (refer FIG. 19-21 etc. of patent document 2).

  However, in the conventional tool holder disclosed in Patent Document 1 described above, the mounting portion and the plurality of holding rings are formed separately, and the mounting surface of the mounting portion and the adjacent holding rings are in point contact with each other. Because the welded parts are welded in contact with each other, they are held from the mounting part due to deformation or damage of the welded part due to static load, fatigue damage of the welded part due to repeated load, or brittle fracture of the welded part due to impact. There was a problem that the ring fell off and the tool could not be held stably.

  Further, in the conventional tool holder disclosed in Patent Document 2, since the mounting portion and the holding portion are integrally formed continuously, it is not necessary to weld each portion, and as described above, it is damaged at the welding site. Although the holding part can be prevented from falling off, a pair of receiving parts bent upward are provided in the holding part, and the head part is supported by the receiving part so as to be supported from the circumferential side direction. Due to the structure, only one tool can be held by one tool holder, and there is a problem that the convenience when using a plurality of various tools simultaneously is inferior.
