Abstract
A tool hanging device having two parts. One part is attached to a tool. The second part is a slotted member which is attached to a support surface such as a person's belt. One of the parts such as the part attached to the tool has a button held to the end of an oblong stud. The slotted member which is attached to the person's belt has a front plate with a V-shaped opening and at the bottom of the V-shaped opening is a throat into which the oblong stud will only fit lengthwise. Below the throat is an enlarged stud holding area. The button holds the stud and thus, the tool, in the slotted member and the tool is permitted to hang freely supported by the slotted member. The tool is removed by rotating the tool 90.degree. from a free-hanging position to orient the oblong stud so that it will pass upwardly through the throat.
