Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to the storage of hand tools, and particularly to a socket fixing base that is convenient for storage and removal.

A socket wrench is generally stored in a tool cabinet. If the user is careless when opening the tool case to take out and use a socket wrench, the tool case will overturn and the sockets inside the tool case will spill out.

In order to solve such problems, for example, as shown in U.S. Pat. An end of the base is inserted, a spring is provided between the end and the rotating body, and a positioning block is provided on the periphery of the bottom of the rotating body. When rotating the rotating body, the positioning block slides in the engagement groove of the pedestal along the slide rail of the pedestal. It is possible to attach and detach a tool to an end of the rotating body opposite to the positioning block. A steel ball is provided on the side surface of the end, and a part of the surface of the steel ball is exposed at the end and comes into contact with the tool. Thereby, the tool can be fixed to the connection member. A cross section is provided at the end of the pedestal. When the rotating body is rotated to the cross section and faces the steel ball, the steel ball enters the rotating body, the steel ball separates from the tool, and the tool is taken out from the connecting member. Can be done.

However, since a notch is provided in the middle of the slide rail to allow the positioning block to be taken in and out, when the user rotates the tool, the user may accidentally rotate the positioning block into the notch and If the rotating body separates from the base due to elastic force, the user is required to push down the positioning block and rotate it to another engagement groove, resulting in poor usability.

In addition, a socket storage stand (which has not yet appeared in patent documents) to which the above configuration is applied is provided with an upright rod on the pedestal, and a hook portion is installed at a predetermined position of the upright rod. A rotating body is fitted into the base, and a socket is attached to the rotating body. When rotating the socket, the hook portion engages the socket when the socket is rotated to one side of the hook portion. However, the above configuration has the following drawbacks. 1. Since the hook part directly contacts and rubs against the inner wall of the socket, if the inner wall of the socket is worn out, it will no longer be able to tightly connect with the handle. 2. Since the rotating body can rotate only between the open position and the closed position, it is not convenient for the user.

The main object of the present invention is to provide a socket fixing base that is convenient to store and take out.

According to the socket fixing base according to the present invention, it includes a base, a rotating base,
The base has a flat part, an interlocking part is provided on the flat part, an arc-shaped cut groove is symmetrically provided in the interlocking part, and a positioning point is provided on the outside of the arc-shaped cut groove.

A recess is provided, and a notch corresponding to each positioning point is provided on the periphery of the recess, and when rotating, the notch falls into the positioning point, thereby allowing the turntable to rotate and position at a predetermined angle. The turntable is further provided with an upright post into which the upright rod is fitted, and flexible patches are provided at predetermined positions on both sides of the upright post of the turntable,
Assemble the rotary table to the standing rod of the base, place the socket of the socket wrench on the rotary table, and rotate the rotary table.The recess at the bottom of the rotary table rotates along the interlocking part, and the positioning point aligns with the notch. When the rotating table is rotated, a first loosening point, a locking point, and a second loosening point are formed at three different positions in the rotating direction , and the rotating table is located at the first loosening point or the second loosening point. Sometimes, the hook part of the upright rod does not come into contact with the flexible patch, so that the socket can be separated from the rotating platform, and when the rotating platform is located at the locking point, the hook part of the upright rod does not contact the flexible patch. The socket is fixed by being pressed against the flexible patch and released, so that the socket cannot fall out.

According to the socket fixing base according to the present invention, when the rotary base is located at the locking point, the hook portion of the upright rod contacts perpendicularly to the side of the rotary base where the plurality of flexible patches are provided, When the rotary table is located at the first loosening point, the hook portion of the upright rod is installed so as to be offset 45 degrees counterclockwise with respect to the rotary table, and the rotary table is located at the second loosening point. In some cases, the hook portion of the upright rod is installed so as to be offset 45 degrees clockwise with respect to the rotary table.

According to the socket fixing base according to the present invention, the guide hook portion is provided below the base, the guide hook portion is assembled to the guide rail, and by rotating the guide hook portion with the guide rail, a plurality of It is characterized by assembling the socket fixing base together.

According to the socket fixing base according to the present invention, each arc-shaped cut groove is compressed to the circumferential surface of the recess and each positioning point during rotation, and the rotary base is set to the first loosening point, the second loosening point, or the locking point. It is characterized by the fact that each arc-shaped cut groove springs back when it falls to a point, producing a slight vibration sensation and a sound due to positioning.

According to the socket fixing base according to the present invention, the center hole of the upright column is composed of a rectangular groove and a circular hole, and when the rotary base is rotated to the first loosening point or the second loosening point, It is characterized in that the groove matches the wall surface of the hook part, making it unrotatable.
