For a :lull nl'lderetanding of ille presentinvention, reference is to be had lo ille -ollowing description, and lo the accompanying drawings', in which-Figure l is a perspective View of my inventionu showing a. Screw driver locked in posilion for use. Fig. 2 is a plan View of lhe shank alone. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional View of the holder showing the shank` ill locked position. Fig. 4 isn view laken about on the line 1"4 of Fig. 3, Lrho shank being shown in section. Fig. 5 is on enlarged detail View sllo'winjf the locking projections, 'l'orllled on the shank. VFig. o is all enlarged view of the end of llle forrllle. allowing more clearly the nolohos in ille edge porl'ion. oli' the opening therein.

Throughout ille following; dolailed description and on lhe several figures of ille drawings, sill'lilar parl-e1 are referred lo by like reference characters.

While l( have illustrated. 'in the drawings diilerent szed screw drivers, it will be nnderstood that the tool elements may be of different characters and other minor changes may be made in the construction and niaterial of which the `holder is composed, without departin from the spirit ot my invention, and within the scope of the claims portion, locking means- :t'orrned on seid shank, the opening of the hollow portion having its edges so formed as to permit of the insertion of the shank when in e predetermined position, and a locking member mounted in thehandle and normally preventing said insertion of the shank and operable to release the letter whereby said shank may be lockingly engaged with the edge of the hollow portion when turned into another predetermined position from that aforesaid.

2. In e tool holder, the combination of n handle having; a hollow body portion, e shank adapted to be received in said hollow portion, looking means formed on the shank, the opening;- of the hollow portion having its edge portion so formed es vto permit of 'the insertion of the shank only when in e predetermined position, and o locking member mounted in the handle and erren ed transversely of the opening in the bo y, said member normally preventing such insertion of the shank and operable to release the saine whereby it may 'lochingly engage with the edge of the hollow portion when partially rotated into another predetermined position from that aforesaid, said locking member then being adapted to hold the shank in tl\elest' mentioned position.l

. 3. lnY n tool holder, the combination of u handle haring n hollow bodyportion, the edge ot the opening of said hollow portion having dillerent sized notches formed therein, n reversible shank having tool elements at its opposite ends and having lugs formell in its edges for engagement in the notches aforesaid, and e spring actuated locking nieniber mounted in' seid handle normally preventing longitudinal :movement olf the shank ond adapted to permit engage-ment of the lugs aforesaid in the notches upon so' tuation of said locking member, seid loelring nieinberengaging with the tool element- .received in the handle to hold the shank in locked position.

el. ln' a tool holder, the combination of e handle having a. hollow body portion, thel `edges of the opening of the hollow portion having different sized recesses formed there-- in', ar reversible shank having tool elcnnns at its opposite ends ond having' lugs Lroinied on its edges adopted to be received in the larger oi said recesses, a springlr :rctuzrtcd locking; member mounted in. the handle adjacent to the hollow portion and adopted to .non molly prevent longitudinal movement of the tool element received in thc hollow por.ltion ol the bod'ynnnd lookingA prrfmiions 'formed on the lugs aforesaid und adapted to engage in the smaller recesses upon my trnrtion oi the spring actuated locking.; inem ber and partial rotation of the shrink, seid actuated locking; member beingn adopted to hold the shtml; in locked position when released.
