Abstract:
A tool hanging bracket for suspending a tool from an object is disclosed. The tool is of the type having a rear end that includes a plurality of mounting screws thereon, such as a nail gun. The bracket comprises a tool engaging plate that has a plurality of apertures aligned with the mounting screws of the tool. An upward extension section is attached at one end of the tool engaging plate at one end thereof, and a forward extension section is attached at one end to, and extends angularly away from, a second end of the extension section. A hook section is attached at one end to, and extends angularly away from, a second end of the forward extension section. In use, with the tool engaging plate attached to the rear end of the tool with the mounting screws, the upward extension section, forward extension section, and hook section project upward and forward from the rear end of the tool. As such, the hook section may be engaged with the object to suspend the tool therefrom. The bracket projects forward above the top of the tool, and the hook section is located far enough forward of the rear end of the tool such that the center of gravity of the tool is located horizontally between the tool engaging plate and the hook section, such that the tool is balanced when suspended from the object.
