bayonet-slot only in that it is L-shaped, as
preferably one section of the slot is at a right
angle to the other.
The key is prevented from leaving the
5 socket by placing a clip 20 over the circum-
ferentially-recessed portion 14 of the socket,
which clip may be clamped firmly to the
socket by means of a screw 21 or the equiva-
lent of the same. It will be understood that
io the clip and the key may be connected or may
be integral, if in practice it be found desir-
able.
Under this construction it is evident that
any form of a tool may be expeditiously and
r5 conveniently placed in a holder and securely
lield therein against turning or moving in any
direction.
If in the manufacture it should be thought
best to have the shank of square or rectangu-
20 lar section, the opening in the holder should
be of corresponding shape and size. The lugs
should under such construction be on the
same face of the shank and the recess 13
would be omitted; but the slot 12 and the key
25 10 will still be L-shaped, the inner surface of
the key being shaped so as to fit exactly upon
the shank when inserted in the socket. The
clamp will remain unchanged.
HIaving thus described my invention, I
30 claim as new and desire to secure by Letters
Patent-
1. A slotted socket, a shank arranged to
enter said socket and provided with lugs
adapted for locking engagement with the
35 walls of the slot in the socket, a key shaped
to fit the said slot, and means for holding the
key in the slot, substantially as described.
2. A socket provided with an L-slot, and a
recess in a wall of the shorter member of the
40 slot, a shank adapted to enter the socket,lugs on the shank arranged at angles to each
other, and a clamping device located upon
the socket, serving to prevent the movement
of the socket on the shank, as and for the
purpose specified. 45
3. A socket provided with a flange at one
end, and an L-slot extending through the
flange and having a recess in a wall of its
shorter member, a shank likewise provided
with a flange, lugs on the shank arranged at 50
angles to one another, a key shaped to enter
the L-slot, and a clamp for the said key, sub-
stantially as shown and described.
4. A socket provided with an L-slot having
a recess at its shorter member, a flange on the 55
socket through which the L-slot extends, the
said shank being provided also with a circum-
ferential recess adjacent to the shorter mem-
ber of the L-slot, a shank provided with a
flange, logs on the shank, placed at angles to 60
one another, a key fitted to the L-slot, and a
locking device for the key, substantially as
shown and described.
5. The combination,with a socket provided
with an L-slot having a recess in the wall of 65
its shorter member, the said socket being pro-
vided with a circumferential recess adjacent
to the shorter member of the said slot, of a
shank adapted to enter the socket, provided
with lugs placed at angles toone another and 70
arranged one to enter the recess in the shorter
member of the L-slot and the other to be lo-
cated in the longer member of the said slot,
a key fitted to the L-slot, and a locking de-
vice for the key, substantially as set forth. 75
