Description
2 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
3 1. Field of the Invention
4 The present invention relates to a hand tool holding rack assembly, and more particularly to an adjustable hand tool holding rack assembly.
6 2. Description of Related Art 7 A conventional hand tool holding rack assembly substantially comprises 8 multiple rail bases and two fixing bases. The two fixing bases are mounted 9 securely on two ends of the rail bases to connect the rail bases together. Each rail base has multiple holding mounts mounted on the rail base to hold hand tools on 11 the rail base.
12 However, the fixing bases of the conventional holding rack assembly are 13 mounted securely with the rail bases, so the distances between the rail bases are 14 not adjustable. In addition, each positioning mount on the rail bases has a structure in an integral form, so the positioning mounts of the conventional 16 holding rack assembly are not adjustable either. Therefore, the conventional 17 holding rack assembly can only be applied to hold hand tools in specific sizes 18 and forms and is not versatile in use.
19 To overcome the shortcomings, the present invention tends to provide a hand tool holding rack assembly to mitigate or obviate the aforementioned 21 problems.
23 One aspect of the invention is to provide a hand tool holding rack 24 assembly that is adjustable to hold different tools in different sizes and forms and 1 is versatile in use.
2 The hand tool holding rack assembly has multiple rail bases and two 3 fixing bases. The rail bases are disposed to be parallel with each other, and each 4 rail base has an elongated body and multiple positioning mounts. The positioning mounts are mounted slidably on the elongated body. The two fixing 6 bases are connected with ends of the elongated bodies of the rail bases to connect 7 the rail bases with each other, and each fixing base has at least one fixing slot, 8 multiple fixing tabs, and multiple fixing fasteners. The at least one fixing slot is 9 defined through the fixing base. The fixing tabs are attached respectively to the elongated bodies of the multiple rail bases, and each fixing tab has a threaded 11 hole. The fixing fasteners are mounted through the at least one fixing slot and are 12 screwed respectively with the threaded holes in the fixing tabs.
13 Other advantages and novel features of the invention will become more 14 apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

7 With reference to Figs. 1 and 2, a hand tool holding rack assembly in 8 accordance with the present invention comprises multiple rail bases 10 and two 9 fixing bases 30.
The rail bases 10 are disposed to be parallel with each other, and each 11 rail base 10 comprises an elongated body 12 and multiple positioning mounts 20 12 mounted slidably on the body 12. The body 12 has a rail channel 122 formed in a 13 top segment of the body 12 and extends along the body 12, and the multiple 14 positioning mounts 20 are mounted slidably in the rail channel 122. The body 12 further has a fixing channel 124 defined in a bottom portion of the body 12, may 16 extend along the body 12, and is located below the rail channel 122.
17 The fixing bases 30 are mounted respectively with ends of the rail bases 18 10 to connect the rail bases 10 with each other. Each fixing base 30 is connected 19 with corresponding ends of the bodies 12 of the rail bases 10 and has at least one fixing slot 32, multiple fixing tabs 34, and multiple fixing fasteners 36. The at 21 least one fixing slot 32 is defined through the fixing base 30.
Preferably, two 22 fixing slots 32 are implemented in each fixing base 30. In addition, the fixing 23 slots 32 in one of the fixing bases 30 are parallel with the fixing slots 32 in the 24 other fixing base 30. Each fixing tab 34 is mounted in an end of the fixing 1 channel 124 of one of the rail bases 10 and has a threaded hole 342. The fixing 2 fasteners 36 are mounted through the at least one fixing slot 32 and are screwed 3 respectively with the threaded holes 342 in the fixing tabs 34 to connect the 4 fixing base 30 with the rail bases 10.
With such an arrangement, the rail bases 10 are connected with each 6 other and are disposed to be parallel with each other by the fixing bases 30. With 7 further reference to Fig. 3, hand tools, such as wrenches, screwdrivers, or wrench 8 sockets can be held on the positioning mounts 20 of the rail bases 10.
When the 9 corresponding fixing fatteners 36 connected with one of the rail bases 10 are released from the threaded holes 342 in the corresponding fixing tabs 34, the rail 11 base 10 can be moved relative to the fixing bases 20 along the fixing slots 32.
12 Consequently, the distances between the adjacent two rail bases 10 can be 13 adjusted, such that the holding rack assembly in accordance with the present 14 invention can be applied to hold different tools in different sizes or forms and is versatile in use.
16 With reference to Figs. 1, 4 and 5, an embodiment of a positioning 17 mount 20 comprises a sliding base 22, a clamping base 24, an adjusting fastener 18 26, and a nut 28. The sliding base 22 is mounted slidably in the rail channel 122 19 of a corresponding one of the rail bases 10 and comprises a bottom panel 222, two supporting side walls 224, a top supporting base 225, and a clamping arm 21 229. The bottom panel 222 may be rectangular in shape and is mounted slidably 22 in the rail channel 122 in the corresponding rail base 10. The supporting side 23 walls 224 are formed on and protrude from a top of the bottom panel 222 and are 24 parallel with each other. The top supporting base 225 is formed on top ends of
6 2. Description of Related Art 7 A conventional hand tool holding rack assembly substantially comprises 8 multiple rail bases and two fixing bases. The two fixing bases are mounted 9 securely on two ends of the rail bases to connect the rail bases together. Each rail base has multiple holding mounts mounted on the rail base to hold hand tools on 11 the rail base.
12 However, the fixing bases of the conventional holding rack assembly are 13 mounted securely with the rail bases, so the distances between the rail bases are 14 not adjustable. In addition, each positioning mount on the rail bases has a structure in an integral form, so the positioning mounts of the conventional 16 holding rack assembly are not adjustable either. Therefore, the conventional 17 holding rack assembly can only be applied to hold hand tools in specific sizes 18 and forms and is not versatile in use.
19 To overcome the shortcomings, the present invention tends to provide a hand tool holding rack assembly to mitigate or obviate the aforementioned 21 problems.
23 One aspect of the invention is to provide a hand tool holding rack 24 assembly that is adjustable to hold different tools in different sizes and forms and 1 is versatile in use.

The rail bases are disposed to be parallel with each other, and each 4 rail base has an elongated body and multiple positioning mounts. The positioning mounts are mounted slidably on the elongated body. The two fixing 6 bases are connected with ends of the elongated bodies of the rail bases to connect 7 the rail bases with each other, and each fixing base has at least one fixing slot, 8 multiple fixing tabs, and multiple fixing fasteners. The at least one fixing slot is 9 defined through the fixing base. The fixing tabs are attached respectively to the elongated bodies of the multiple rail bases, and each fixing tab has a threaded 11 hole. The fixing fasteners are mounted through the at least one fixing slot and are 12 screwed respectively with the threaded holes in the fixing tabs.
