Description

2 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
3 1. Field of the Invention
4 The present invention relates to a magnetic hanging frame, and more particularly to a magnetic hanging frame for hand tools that can be conveniently mounted on a sidewall of a tool cabinet or a display frame without fasteners.
=
7 2. Description of the Prior Art 8 A conventional hanging frame for hand tools has a track disc and 9 multiple holding elements. The track disc has a baseboard, a track and two hanging holes. The baseboard is elongated and has a front surface. The track is 11 formed on and protrudes from the front surface of the baseboard. The hanging 12 holes are formed through the baseboard and can be mounted on a wall with two 13 fasteners or two hooks mounted through the hanging holes. The holding elements 14 are slidably mounted on the track and can be used to hold hand tools with the baseboard.
16 However, though the conventional hanging frame can hold the hand tools, 17 the conventional hanging frame cannot be mounted on a sidewall of a tool 18 cabinet or a display frame without using fasteners or hooks, and this is 19 inconvenient in use.
To overcome the shortcomings, the present invention provides a 21 magnetic hanging frame for hand tools to mitigate the aforementioned problems.

23 The main objective of the present invention is to provide a magnetic 24 hanging frame for hand tools that can be conveniently mounted on a sidewall of a 1 tool cabinet or a display frame without fasteners.
2 The magnetic hanging frame for hand tools in accordance with the 3 present invention has a track disc, at least one holding element and at least two 4 magnetic devices. The track disc has a baseboard, a track formed on and protruding from a front surface of the baseboard and a mounting rack formed on 6 and protruding from a rear surface of the baseboard. The at least one bolding 7 clement is slidably mounted on the track. The at least two magnetic devices are 8 connected to the track disc, and each one of the at least two magnetic devices has 9 a magnet mount and two locating mounts. The magnet mount is mounted in the mounting rack and has a magnetic body and two extending wings. The locating 11 mounts are mounted in the mounting rack beside the magnet mount, abut against 12 the magnet mount and each one of the locating mounts has a locating groove and 13 a middle protrusion.
14 Other objects, advantages and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in 16 conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

The mounting slit 272 is formed through the upper surface, the front surface and the lower surface of the holding mount 22 21 and communicates with the tool hole 271. The recesses 273 are arc shaped and 22 are respectively formed in the sidewalls of the holding mount 22 to allow elastic 23 deformation of the holding mount 22.
24 In a sixth embodiment of the holding mount 22, the holding element 20 is 1 composed of two half-clamping elements, and each one of the half-clamping 2 elements has a hooking an-n 21 and a holding mount 22. The hooking arm 21 is 3 slidably mounted on the mounting arms 121 of the track 12 and has a front side.
4 The holding mount 22 is formed on and protrudes from the front side of the hooking arm 21 and may have a free end, an inner surface, an outer surface, a 6 jaw 281, a side panel 282, a fixing element 283 and a clamping board 284. The 7 jaw 281 may be curved, is formed in the inner surface of the holding mount 22 8 and faces to the jaw 281 of the other half-clamping element. The side panel 282 9 is formed on and protrudes transversally from the free end of the holding mount 22 and extends out of the outer surface of the holding mount 22. The fixing 11 element 283 is mounted through the side panel 282 and is inserted into the 12 channel 122 of the track 12 between the mounting arms 121. The clamping board 13 284 is mounted in the channel 122 of the track 12 and is securely connected to the 14 fixing element 283 to hold the half-clamping element securely with the mounting arms 121 of the track 12. With reference to Fig. 7, a ratchet wrench 70 can be 16 held between the jaws 281 of the holding mounts 22 of the holding element 20.
17 With referenced to Figs. 4 to 6, the at least two magnetic devices 30 are 18 connected to the track disc 10, and each one of the at least two magnetic devices 19 30 has a magnet mount 31 and two locating mounts 32.
The magnet mount 31 is made of metal, is magnetically mounted in the 21 mounting rack 13 of the track disc 10 and has a magnetic body 311 and two 22 extending wings 312. The magnetic body 311 is magnetically mounted in the 23 mounting rack 13 of the track disc 10 via one of the side openings 131 and has 24 two sidewalls.
The extending wings 312 are respectively formed on and protrude 1 from the sidewalls of the magnetic body 311, and each one of the extending 2 wings 312 has a width (E).
3 The locating mounts 32 are mounted in the mounting rack 13 in a tight-fit 4 condition beside the magnet mount 31, abut against the magnet mount 31 and each one of the locating mounts 32 has an inner surface, an outer surface, two 6 sidewalls, a locating groove 321 and a middle protrusion 322. The inner surface 7 of the locating mount 32 abuts the inner surface of the mounting rack 13.
One of 8 the sidewalls of the locating mount 32 abuts against the sidewalls of the magnetic 9 body 311 of the magnet mount 31. The locating groove 321 is formed through the sidewalls of the locating mount 32, accommodates one of the extending wings 11 312 and has a width (G) wider than the width (E) of the extending wing 12 (G>E). That is, the magnet mount 31 is held in the mounting rack 13 by the 13 locating grooves 321 of the locating mounts 32 mounted around the extending 14 wings 312 of the magnet mount 31.
The middle protrusion 322 is outwardly formed on and protrudes from 16 the outer surface of the locating mount 32, extends into the mouth 132 of the 17 mounting rack 13 and has a width (P) approximatively equal to the width (M) of 18 the mouth 132 of the mounting rack 13 (P M). Preferably, the at least two 19 magnetic devices 30 arc respectively mounted in the mounting rack 13 adjacent to the side openings 131 of the mounting rack 13.
21 In operation, with reference to Figs. 7 and 8, the user can store different 22 kinds of hand tools such as the socket bits 40, the wrenches 50, the screwdrivers 23 60 or the ratchet wrenches 70 by mounting the above-mentioned hand tools 24 respectively in the different embodiments of the holding mount 22 to enable the 1 above-mentioned hand tools to connect with the track disc 10. After mounting 2 and storing the above-mentioned hand tools with the track disc 10, the user can 3 mount the magnetic hanging frame on a sidewall of a tool cabinet 80 or a display 4 frame conveniently by the magnetic forces of the magnet mounts 31 attracted to the sidewall of the tool cabinet 80. Then, the above-mentioned hand tools can be 6 mounted and displayed on the sidewall of the tool cabinet 80 or the display frame 7 with the magnetic banging frame. Accordingly, no space in the tool cabinet 80 or 8 the display frame is needed for storing the magnetic hanging frame.
9 Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present invention have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of 11 the structure and features of the invention, the disclosure is illustrative only.
12 Changes may be made in the details, especially in matters of shape, size, and 13 arrangement of parts within the principles of the invention to the full extent 14 indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
