  The subject of the present invention is a display rack support

hand tools and similar objects.

  The invention relates to the technical sector of the supports and

tool displays.

  The aim of the invention was to provide a support

  at the same time of simple design, little bulky and which can

  put the storage of any type of hand tools, safely, this support can be arranged on a tool display card

with the tool for its sale.

  This goal is achieved by the support, object of the in-ention, which is

  remarkable in that it includes a monobloc an upper tray so-

  lidaire at one of its ends of a perpendicular base, said plate being arranged with profiled openings and in particular a

  plurality of adjacent openings of increasing section and communicating

  as between them by a common passage located in one of the median axes of the plate, said passage being delimited in its width by

  deformable anchors and retaining clips separating two openings

consecutive headings.

  These and other features will stand out well in the

following the description.

drawings.

  The display stand according to the invention, referenced as a whole by (1) is made of monobloc plastic materials or other. It includes a rectangular tray (2) for example with

  along one of its transverse edges a base (3)

  pendicular to said tray and capable of sliding engagement

  on a U-section fixed or not on a support plane; this profile is of a length allowing the reception of one or a plurality of display stands according to the invention. Alternatively

  the rear face (31) of the base has adhesive means sus-

  able to cooperate with complementary means

  a support wall, these means being able for example and not limited to

  tatively self-adhesive strips, self-gripping and others.

  The base (3) has on its upper face a central cut-out

  trale (32), the interest of which will be specified later in the

  scription. The upper plate (2) is arranged in a particular manner

  with a plurality of shaped openings arranged in a

  functional. One distinguishes, as illustrated in Figure 1, along the median longitudinal axis of the plate from the transverse connecting edge with the base to the front end of the

  plate, a plurality of adjacent openings (5) of cross-section

  health and communicating with each other. A first circular aperture (51) and several oblong apertures (52 53 54 55) are illustrated in a non-limiting manner. These apertures communicate between (5; 5, 5) successive ones. these openings communicate with each other by a passage (P) common in the central axis of the plate, this passage being delimited in its width by anchors (6) deformable separating two consecutive openings. The size and section of these openings is set to correspond to the various sections of hand tools that are engaged therein and maintained as shown in the drawings. When any tool is engaged in one of its openings, it is maintained on the one hand in

-3 2559415

  support on the horizontal face of the plate 'and secondly by the internal profile of the openings and the anchor arm, the latter preventing the tool from escaping inadvertently to the opening of upper section. These deformable anchors allow engagement by clipping tools. These anchoring spouts (6) may have, as illustrated in FIG. 1, a reduction in thickness and thus form a stepped extension (61) deformable with respect to the stiffening edges (7) surrounding said openings (5)

  as specified later. According to Figure 8, the beaks of

  (6) alternatively have a projecting profiled extension (62) with near the common area with two consecutive openings (5), a narrowing (63) defined by recesses (64) made on either side of the longitudinal median axis of said extensions,

  thus allowing the limited angular movement of the latter.

  These extensions (62) can be either parallel to the trans-

  versal openings, or angularly offset in particular in

  the upper part of the support towards the small openings (51) -

  (52) (5). One can expect to realize only one obviously

  (64) as for example between the openings (51) - (52).

  The ordered sequence of the aforementioned openings (5) creates a shape

  in particular triangulation on the upper plateau as well as

  lustrous to the figures of the drawings. As a result of this provision,

  given on the board two identical areas are defined from

  and other said openings (5). Other plans are also planned.

  circular girths (8), (9), (10), degressive diameter to

  shot from the back side of the top board. These openings allow

  put the storage of various tools, such as screwdrivers, files, etc ... The openings (5) allow the storage of tools such

  that flat wrenches, pipe, pliers, tools with handle and others.

  According to FIG. 8, two other small holes (11) are made.

  symmetrically arranged in relation to the longitudinal axis

  tudinal of the plate (2) and between one of the openings (52) and the

  verture (8). Their interest will be specified later.

  To reinforce the stability and holding of the tools in any of the aforementioned openings, these present on the

  top face of the plateau stiffening borders (7,8,9l, 10).

  Reinforcing ribs (12) are provided on the face of

  of the base, and possibly openings between them (F'j4e8) .-] -

  According to the variant of FIG. 7, a succession of adjacent cuts communicating with each other, provided with anchoring jaws, the opening of larger section is arranged along the median longitudinal axis of the plate in a diamond shape. lying

in the central area.

  The triangular or diamond shape of these openings can also

  be made in the transverse median plane of the plateau.

  The display rack thus designed is arranged on a card (C) in any suitable material cardboard, plastic and other. according to

  a first possibility, this card has a slot (Cl) trans-

  in which the lower part of

  the base the horizontal plane of the border surrounding the said opening

tures being in support on the map.

  The tool is then advantageously positioned on the face

  rent of the upper plate then the whole is covered by a plastic film or others. In the case of pliers, keys or other tools of large section, their front part is engaged in cutting

  (32) of the upper part of the base ensuring a prepositioning

  the tool and avoiding its movement.

  According to another possibility illustrated in Figures 8 to 12, the supportpresentoir is arranged against the rear face of the card, the base of said support bearing against the corresponding upper edge of the card. This generally has a cutout (C2) to allow its attachment and suspension on a spindle for presentation. The holes (11) made on the support plate are arranged in such a way that they coincide and superimpose on the cutout (C2) of said card. To ensure the connection of said support and the card, provision is made for the use of a jumper (13), in any suitable material having two tabs (131) capable of engaging and clipping into said holes (11) while crossing the cut (C2) of the card. This jumper can be made simply in the form of a barette with two fingers Figure 9, or be made in a more complex shape U-shaped for example Figure 10. In this case the branches (141)

  finger (14) are flared and have a circular bottom (142).

  The connecting fingers (143) are arranged on each of the aforementioned branches and have a mushroom shape.When introduced dan. the holes (11) of the tray, they are compressed then resume

  The advantages are apparent from the invention. It highlights its universal use for hand tools, the good performance of

  these and the safety and locking in position of the tools.

  In the case for example of the positioning of a pipe wrench, the sleeve thereof is generally of greater section to the body of the key; the key is then engaged in the opening of widest section to micorps for example and is positioned by displacement

  of the key in the opening of corresponding section or sensitive-

  to the body section, the anchors attaching the key laterally.

  It also highlights the low cost of the whole.

  It is also possible for a user to take in his toolbox or other storage place, some tools for

  particular work and position them on the support

  to be able to fix in the manner previously mentioned.

  The invention is in no way limited to that of its modes of application.
