Tool holder with cylindrical holder body

摘要

A tool holder has a holder body with a generally cylindrical sidewall extending along a central longitudinal axis between an open first end and a second end portion. The second end portion defines a through-opening extending along the central longitudinal axis and having a through-opening radius. A flange member extends axially from the second end portion and has flange neck portion and a flange rim portion each extending radially about the through-opening. The flange rim portion is spaced apart from and connected at the flange neck portion to the second end portion of the holder body. A reinforcing member installed on the flange neck portion between the flange rim portion and the second end portion. The holder body is made of a resilient, pliable material and constructed to receive and frictionally engage a non-working end of a tool inserted into the holder body through the open first end.

1. A tool holder comprising:
a holder body having a generally cylindrical sidewall extending along a central longitudinal axis between an open first end and a partially-closed second end defining an end aperture extending axially therethrough, the holder body having an inside surface with an inner diameter and an outside surface with an outer diameter; a flange member joined as a single unitary structure with the holder body at the partially-closed second end and having the end aperture extending therethrough, wherein the flange member has a flange neck portion with a flange neck outer diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the holder body and a flange rim portion with a flange rim outer diameter larger than the flange neck outer diameter, wherein the flange neck portion and the flange rim portion each extend radially outward from the through-opening, and wherein the flange neck portion is positioned axially between the flange rim portion and the partially-closed second end of the holder body; and a reinforcing member installed on the flange neck portion; wherein the holder body is made of a resilient, pliable material and constructed to receive and frictionally engage a non-working end of a tool inserted into the holder body through the open first end.
