Abstract

A sleeve bracket assembly has a frame (10,10B) and multiple first sleeve mounts (21,21A). The frame (10,10B) has a first sleeve track (13,13B) having a groove (133,133A). Each first sleeve mount (21,21A) has a base (211,211A) and a hollow positioning button (212,212A,212B,212C) protruding from a top surface of the base (211,211A) and having a retractable protrusion (2123) or a flange (2125A,2125C). The cross section of the base (211) or the positioning button (212A,212C) of each first sleeve mount (21,21A) is round, so sleeves (S) can be rotated. The protrusions (2123) and the flanges (2125A,2125C) can securely position the sleeves (S). Accordingly, the sleeve bracket assembly can position the sleeves (S) firmly and also allow the sleeves (S) to be rotated.

Description

3 1. Field of the Invention 4 The present invention relates to a sleeve bracket assembly, and more particularly to a sleeve bracket assembly positioning sleeves securely and also 6 allowing the sleeves to be rotated.

7 2. Description of Related Art 8 A conventional sleeve bracket assembly has a frame and a mount device.
9 The mount device has multiple sleeve mounts connected with the frame. Each sleeve mount has a rectangular base and a round button. Each button protrudes 11 from a top surface of the base and can be inserted into a sleeve. Because each 12 button is round, the sleeve can be rotated and allow a number or a sign on the 13 sleeve to face a user. However, each button lacks a positioning structure and 14 cannot securely hold the sleeve. The sleeves easily fall off from the buttons.

Another sleeve mount of a conventional sleeve bracket assembly has a 16 rectangular base and a rectangular button. Each button has a retractable 17 protrusion used for abutting a recess of an inner surface of the sleeve.
Therefore, 18 the sleeves can be firmly positioned. Nevertheless, the buttons are rectangular 19 and cannot allow the sleeves to be rotated.

Moreover, a conventional sleeve bracket assembly can merely display 21 one set of sleeves that have slightly different sizes. An additional sleeve bracket 22 assembly is required to receive another set of sleeves. For example, three sleeve 23 bracket assemblies are needed to receive whole sets of sleeves that comprise 24 complete sizes.

1 However, purchasing new sleeve bracket assemblies increases a 2 purchasing cost and carrying multiple sleeve bracket assemblies is inconvenient.
3 To overcome the shortcomings, the present invention tends to provide a 4 sleeve bracket assembly to mitigate the aforementioned problems.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

6 The main objective of the invention is to provide a sleeve bracket 7 assembly positioning sleeves securely and also allowing the sleeves to be 8 rotated.

9 A sleeve bracket assembly has a frame and multiple first sleeve mounts.
The frame has a first sleeve track having a groove. Each first sleeve mount has a 11 base and a hollow positioning button protruding from a top surface of the base 12 and having a retractable protrusion or a flange. The cross section of the base or 13 the positioning button of each first sleeve mount is round, so sleeves can be 14 rotated. The protrusions and the flanges can securely position the sleeves.

Accordingly, the sleeve bracket assembly can position the sleeves firmly and 16 also allow the sleeves to be rotated.

17 Other objects, advantages and novel features of the invention will 18 become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in 19 conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

2 With reference to Figs. 1 to 4, a first embodiment of a sleeve bracket 3 assembly in accordance with the present invention comprises a frame 10 and a 4 first mount device 20.

The frame 10 is made of aluminum and has a back plate 11, a bracket 6 unit 12 and a first sleeve track 13.

7 The back plate 11 is elongated and has a top, a bottom, two opposite ends, 8 a length, a side surface and two mounting holes 111. The bottom of the back 9 plate 11 is opposite to the top of the back plate 11. The mounting holes 111 are formed through near the top and respectively near the opposite ends of the back 11 plate 11. The frame 10 can be placed at or hung on a flat plane by the mounting 12 holes 111.

13 The bracket unit 12 is formed integrally on the side surface of the back plate 11 14 and has a top surface and a length. The length of the bracket unit 12 is the same as that of the back plate 11.

16 The first sleeve track 13 is linear, is formed on and protrudes from the 17 top surface of the bracket unit 12, extends along a line parallel to an extending 18 line of the back plate 11 and has a top surface 131, two bars 132 and a groove 133.
19 The top surface 131 of the first sleeve track 13 is rectangular and has two opposite edges. The bars 132 are respectively formed on the edges of the top 21 surface 131 of the first sleeve track 13. Each bar 132 has a bent top facing that of 22 the other bar 132. The groove 133 is formed between the top surface 131 and the 23 bars 132 of the first sleeve track 13.

24 The first mount device 20 has multiple first sleeve mounts 21. The first sleeve 1 mounts 21 are detachably connected with the first sleeve track 13. Each first 2 sleeve mount 21 has a base 211 and a positioning button 212. The base 211 of 3 each first sleeve mount 21 is slidably and rotatably mounted in the groove 4 and has a top surface and a round cross section. The positioning button 212 of 5 each sleeve mount 21 is hollow and is formed on and protrudes from the top 6 surface of the base 211 and has a rectangular cross section, a side surface, two 7 openings 2121, a resilient section 2122 and a protrusion 2123. The openings 8 2121 of each first sleeve mount 21 are respectively formed through the side 9 surface of the positioning button 212. The resilient section 2122 of each first sleeve mount 21 is formed between the openings 2121 of the positioning button 11 212 and has a central segment. The protrusion 2123 of each first sleeve mount 21 12 is formed on and protrudes outward from the central segment of the resilient 13 section 2122 of the first sleeve mount 21. Preferably, the positioning buttons 212 14 of the first mount device 20 have the same size.

With reference to Figs. 1 and 3, multiple sleeves S are respectively and 16 detachably mounted around the positioning buttons 212. The sleeves S can be 17 rotated because the bases 211 are round and are rotatably mounted in the groove 18 133. Accordingly, a number or a sign on each sleeve S can be rotated to face a 19 user. When each sleeve S is inserted by the positioning button 212, the resilient section 2122 is bent inwardly by an inner surface of the sleeve S.
Consequently, 21 the resilient section 2122 recovers and the protrusion 2123 is embedded in a 22 recess of the inner surface of the sleeve S to position the sleeve S.
Accordingly, 23 the sleeve bracket assembly in accordance with the present invention can 24 position the sleeves S securely and also allow the sleeves S to be rotated.

1 With reference to Figs. 5 to 7, a second embodiment of the sleeve bracket 2 assembly is substantially the same as the first embodiment except the following 3 features.

4 The base 211A of each first sleeve mount 21A has a rectangular cross section and is slidably mounted in the groove 133A. Accordingly, the bases 211 A are 6 kept from being rotatable in the grooves 133A.

7 The positioning button 212A of each first sleeve mount 21 A has a round cross 8 section, two opposite sides, two openings 2124A and an annular flange 2125A.
9 The openings 2124A of each positioning button 212A are elongated and are respectively formed through the opposite sides of the positioning button 212A.
11 The flange 2125A of each positioning button 212A radially protrudes from the 12 positioning button 212A. When each sleeve S is inserted by the positioning 13 button 212A, the flange 2125A is pressed inwardly by the inner surface of the 14 sleeve S. Consequently, the flange 2125A recovers and abuts the recess of inner surface of the sleeve S for secure positioning.

16 Because the cross sections of the positioning buttons 212A are round, the 17 second embodiment can also allow the sleeves S to be rotated.

18 With reference to Figs. 8 to 12, a third embodiment of the sleeve bracket 19 assembly is substantially the same as the first embodiment except the following features.

21 The bracket unit 12B has a first bracket 121B, a second bracket 122B and 22 multiple securing members 123B. The first bracket 121B is elongated and is 23 formed integrally on the side surface of the back plate 11B and has a top surface, 24 a length, a combining section and a connecting side section 121113. The length of 1 the first bracket 121B is the same as that of the back plate 11B. The combining 2 section is connected integrally with the side surface of the back plate 11B.
The 3 connecting side section 1211B is L-shaped and is opposite to the combining 4 section. The first sleeve track 13B is formed on and protrudes from the top surface of the first bracket 121B.

6 The second bracket 122B is elongated, is connected securely with the 7 connecting side section 1211B of the first bracket 121B and has a top surface, a 8 length and an attaching side section 1221B. The length of the second bracket 9 122B is the same as that of the back plate 11B. The attaching side section is L-shaped and abuts the connecting side section 1211 B of the first bracket 11 121B.

12 Each securing member 123B is mounted through the connecting side section 13 1211E and the attaching side section 1221B and has a bolt and a nut connected 14 with the bolt.

The frame 10B further has a linear second sleeve track 14B and a linear third 16 sleeve track I5B.

17 The second sleeve track 14B is linear, protrudes from the top surface of the 18 second bracket 122B and is parallel to the first sleeve track 13B. The first sleeve 19 track 13B is located between the second sleeve track 14B and the back plate 11B.
The third sleeve track 15B is linear, protrudes from the top surface of the 21 second bracket 122B and is parallel to the first sleeve track 13B. The second 22 sleeve track 14B is located between the first sleeve track 13B and the third sleeve 23 track 15B. The third sleeve track 15B and the second sleeve track 14B are 24 substantially the same as the first sleeve track 13B except a width of the first 1 sleeve track 13B is longer than that of the second sleeve track 14B and a width of 2 the second sleeve track 14B is longer than that of the third sleeve track 15B.

3 The sleeve bracket assembly further has a second mount device 30B and 4 a third mount device 40B that are respectively connected with the second sleeve track 14B and the third sleeve track 15B. The second mount device 30B and the 6 third mount device 40B are substantially the same as the first mount device 7 except a size of each positioning button 212B of the first mount device 20B
is 8 larger than that of each positioning button 312B of the second mount device 30B.
9 The size of each positioning button 312B of the second mount device 30B is larger than that of each positioning button 412B of the third mount device 40B.
11 Accordingly, heavier sleeves S can be placed closer to the back plate 11B
to 12 prevent the second bracket 122B from being broken.

13 With reference to Figs. 13 to 15, a fourth embodiment of the sleeve 14 bracket assembly is substantially the same as the third embodiment except each base 211 C has a rectangular cross section and each positioning button 212C
has 16 two openings 2124C and an annular flange 2125C. The openings 2124C of each 17 positioning button 212C are elongated and are respectively formed through the 18 opposite sides of the positioning button 212C.

19 From the above description, it is noted that the present invention has the following advantages:

21 1. Secure positioning and rotation function of the sleeves S:
22 The cross sections of the bases 211 or the positioning buttons 23 212A,212C are round, so the sleeves S can be rotated. The protrusions 2123 and 24 the flanges 2125A,2125C can securely position the sleeves S. Accordingly, the I sleeve bracket assembly in accordance with the present invention can position 2 the sleeves S firmly and also allow the sleeves S to be rotated.

3 2. Cost reduction:

4 The sleeve bracket assembly in accordance with the present invention can display different sets of sleeves S at the same time and no additional sleeve 6 bracket assembly is required.
