Description

3 1. Field of the Invention 4 The present invention relates to a tool hanger assembly, and more particularly to a tool hanger assembly to save time for assembling.

6 2. Description of Related Art 7 A conventional tool hanger assembly has a frame and multiple hangers.
8 The frame has a track formed in a side surface of the frame. The hangers are 9 slidably mounted on the track and each hanger has a tool mount protruding from the hanger to hang a hand tool, such as a screwdriver.

11 However, the hangers have to be attached to the frame one by one, so to 12 assemble the multiple hangers onto the frame is time-consuming, increases 13 manufacturing cost and is not convenient.

14 To overcome the shortcomings, the present invention intends to provide a tool hanger assembly to obviate the aforementioned problems.

17 The main objective of the invention is to provide a tool hanger assembly 18 to save time for assembling.

19 A tool hanger assembly has a frame and a hanger. The frame has a back plate and a bracket. The bracket is mounted securely on the back plate and has a 21 recess formed in the bracket. The hanger is connected securely with the frame 22 and has a base plate and multiple tool mounts. The base plate is mounted 23 securely in the recess. The tool mounts are securely mounted on the base plate to 24 allow screwdrivers to be hung on. Accordingly, to assemble the hanger having 1 the multiple tool mounts with the frame is quick, reduces manufacturing cost and 2 is convenient.

3 Other objectives, advantages and novel features of the invention will 4 become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

8 With reference to Figs. 1 to 5, a first embodiment of a tool hanger 9 assembly in accordance with the present invention comprises a frame 10 and a hanger 20.

11 The frame 10 is made of aluminum and has a back plate 11 and a bracket 12 12. The back plate 11 is elongated and has a top, a bottom, two opposite ends, a 13 side surface and two mounting holes 111. The bottom is opposite to the top of the 14 back plate 11. The mounting holes 111 are formed through near the top and respectively near the opposite ends of the back plate 11 to allow the frame 10 to 16 be hung on a wall or a display board.

17 The bracket 12 is mounted securely on the side surface of the frame 10, 18 is elongated and has a length, an upper protrusion 121, a lower protrusion 122, a 19 front plate 123, a recess 124, two button holes 125, an upper rib 126 and a lower rib 127. The length of the bracket 12 is the same as that of the side surface of the 21 back plate 11. The upper protrusion 121 is elongated, is mounted securely on the 22 side surface near the top of the back plate 11 and is located below the mounting 23 holes 111. The lower protrusion 122 is elongated, is mounted securely on the 24 side surface near the bottom of the back plate 11 and is located below and I parallel to the upper protrusion 121.

2 The front plate 123 is rectangular, is located between and securely 3 mounted on the upper protrusion 121 and the lower protrusion 122 and has an 4 abutting surface opposite to the back plate 11. The recess 124 is formed between the upper protrusion 121, the lower protrusion 122 and the front plate 123 and 6 has a bottom located on the abutting surface of the front plate 123. The button 7 holes 125 are round, are formed through the front plate 123 and are respectively 8 adjacent to the ends of the back plate 11.

9 The upper rib 126 protrudes from the upper protrusion 121 toward the lower protrusion 122. The lower rib 127 protrudes from the lower protrusion 11 toward the upper rib 126.

12 With reference to Figs. 1 to 5, the hanger 20 is connected securely with 13 the frame 10 and has a base plate 21, a positioning button 22 and multiple tool 14 mounts 23. The base plate 21 is made of plastic, is shaped as and mounted securely in the recess 124 and has a mounting surface. The mounting surface of 16 the base plate 21 is opposite to the abutting surface of the front plate 123 and is 17 abutted by the upper rib 126 and the lower rib 127.

18 The positioning button 22 is formed on the base plate 21 and is 19 selectively engaged with one of the button holes 125. With reference to Figs. 2 to 4B, the base plate 21 can be selectively slid into the recess 124 from one of two 21 openings of the recess 124 to enable the positioning button 22 to be engaged with 22 one of the button holes 125. Accordingly, assembling the base plate 21 in the 23 recess 124 does not have to follow a specific direction and is very convenient and 24 fast.

1 The tool mounts 23 are hollow, are mounted securely on the mounting 2 surface of the base plate 21 at intervals and are located between the upper rib 126 3 and the lower rib 127.

4 With reference to Figs. 7 to 8, each tool mount 23 has a top surface, a 5 bottom surface, an operating surface, a tool hole 231, a mounting slit 232, two 6 guiding faces 233 and a stretching groove 234. The operating surface is opposite 7 to the base plate 21. The tool hole 231 is longitudinally formed through the top 8 surface and the bottom surface of the tool mount 23. The mounting slit 232 is 9 longitudinally formed in the operating surface, is formed through the top surface and the bottom surface of the tool mount 23, communicates with the tool hole 11 231 and has two opposite inner surfaces. The guiding faces 233 are respectively 12 formed on the inner surfaces of the mounting slit 232. The stretching groove 234 13 is longitudinally formed in the tool mount 23 toward the base plate 21 and 14 communicating with the tool hole 231.

With reference to Figs. 6 to 8, hand tools, such as screwdrivers 30, are 16 respectively put into the tool mounts 23. Each screwdriver 30 has a shank 31.
17 When each shank 31 is put into the tool hole 231 via the mounting slit 232, the 18 shank 31 presses the guiding faces 233 and enlarges the mounting slit 232, the 19 tool hole 231 and the stretching groove 234 to enter the tool hole 231.

Consequently, each shank 31 can be received and positioned in the tool hole 21 when the tool hole 231 recovers to an original position. With reference to Figs. 9 22 to 10, a second embodiment of the tool hanger assembly is substantially the same 23 as the first embodiment except that each tool mount 23A has two opposite outer 24 surfaces and two concaves 235A. The concaves 235A of each tool mount 23A

1 are respectively and longitudinally formed in the outer surfaces and formed 2 through the top surface and the bottom surface of the tool mount 23A.
Similarly, 3 when each shank 31 is put into the tool hole 231 A via the mounting slit 232A, the 4 shank 31 presses the guiding faces 233A, enlarges the mounting slit 232A and the tool hole 23 1A and deforms the concaves 235A to enter the tool hole 231A.
6 Consequently, each shank 31 can be received and positioned in the tool hole 7 23 1A when the tool hole 23 IA recovers to an original position.

8 Furthermore, a minimum distance A between the concave 235A and the 9 tool hole 231 A is smaller than a minimum distance B between the outer surface of the tool mount 23A and the mounting slit 232A except the guiding face 233A
11 to enable enlarged deformation of the mounting slit 232A of the tool mount 23A.
12 With reference to Fig. 11, a third embodiment of the tool hanger 13 assembly is substantially the same as the first embodiment except that each tool 14 mount 23B does not have the mounting slit 232 and the stretching groove 234.
Each tool mount 23B has a slot 236B. Each slot 236B is longitudinally formed 16 through the top surface and the bottom surface of the tool mount 23B and 17 communicates with the tool hole 231B. The tool hole 231B is located at a central 18 segment of the slot 236B. When the screwdrivers 30 are respectively put into the 19 tool holes 231B, tips 32 of the screwdrivers 30 respectively pass through the slots 236B and the shanks 31 are respectively received in the tool holes 231B.
21 The hanger 20 with the multiple tool mounts 23,23A,23B can hang the 22 multiple screwdrivers 30. Because combining the hanger 20 having the multiple 23 tool mounts 23,23A23B with the frame 10 is easy, to assemble the hanger 20 24 with the frame 10 is quick, reduces manufacturing cost and is convenient for 1 hanging multiple screwdrivers 30.
