FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a first embodiment of a tool handle;

FIG. 2 is a bottom view of the tool handle shown in FIG. 1 ;

FIG. 3 is a top view of the tool handle shown in FIG. 1 ;

FIG. 4 is a front view of the tool handle shown in FIG. 1 , the back view being identical;

FIG. 5 is a right side view of the tool handle shown in FIG. 1 , the left side view being identical;

FIG. 6 is another perspective view of the tool handle shown in FIG. 1 that also shows an unclaimed identifier in dashed lines along a flat segment of the tool handle and another unclaimed identifier in dashed lines on the top of the tool handle;

FIG. 7 is another top view of the tool handle shown in FIG. 1 that also shows an unclaimed identifier in dashed lines on the top of the tool handle;

FIG. 8 is a second embodiment that differs from the first embodiment of FIG. 1 in that no portion of the tool handle of the second embodiment is transparent or translucent, as is the portion of the tool handle of the first embodiment that is characterized by oblique line shading;

FIG. 9 is a top view of the tool handle shown in FIG. 8 ;

FIG. 10 is a bottom view of the tool handle shown in FIG. 8 ;

FIG. 11 is a front view of the tool handle shown in FIG. 8 , the back view being identical; and,

FIG. 12 is a right side view of the tool handle shown in FIG. 8 , the left side view being identical.

The dashed lines in FIGS. 1-5 represent a tool or tool portion, such as a screwdriver shank, that may extend from the tool handle, and form no part of the claimed design; such dashed lines also appear in FIGS. 6 , 8 , 9 , 11 , and 12 . The remaining dashed line in FIGS. 6 and 7 represent example identifiers that form no part of the claimed design.
