gn/vento@ La /Mborc Patented June 13, 1933 UNITED STAT LEE MOORE, or RoANoxE, VIRGIHNIA Toor. RACK y Application filed September 17, 1931. -Serial No. 563,388.y
This invention relates to aitool rack-and has for its primary object to provide, in a manner as hereinafter set'forth, a rack for mounting an assortment of tools in such a manner that all of the tools will be plainly visible in order thatA the proper tool may be selectedwithout loss of time.
A further object of the invention is to provide a rack of thek character aforesaid` in which the tools may be readily locked in position'by a single'element, and Vfrom which the tools may be readilywithdrawn upon the release of the lockingelement.
With the foregoing and other objects in view,'the invention consists of the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts as hereinafter more particularly described, and as illustrated in the accompanying drawing wherein is shownan embodiment of the invention, but it is to be kunderstood that the description and drawing'are to be considered as illustrative rather than limitative. f
In the accompanying drawing in which like numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout the several views: n
Figure 1 is a front elevation of a tool rack in accordance with this invention with an assortment of tools indicated therein in dotted lines.
Figure 2 is asection taken on the line 2 2 of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is an enlarged section taken on the line 3-3 of Figure 1. p
Figure 4 is an enlarged section taken on the line 4 4 of Figure 1.
Figure 5 is a fragmentary section taken on the line 5 5 of Figure 1. y
The rack as shown includes a rear wall 1 having formed integrally therewith a pair of side walls 2. Y At the top and bottom thereof, the side walls 2 are formed with inturned flanges 3 to which are secured a top Vwall 4. and
-a bottom wall 5. The walls 1, 2: and 4 pro 10,9,.8 andain front'kof-thetools within the vide an open front rectangular container.
,In spacedrelationto the top wall 4, and secured to the rear wall'l and side walls 2, is a partition (if-which is formed in its forward edge with a plurality of'recesse's 7, 8, 9 and 10. Y.; In spaced relation to the vbottom wall 5, and secured to the rearwall 1 andfside wall 2, isfa partition l1. which is formed with a f plurality of openingsf1213, 14 and r15. The
recesses 7 8,9 and 101 are adapted to receive therein an assortment of tools, the handles ofv which project through the openings 12, 13, 14 and 15. {Byway of example, an assortment of` tool-sforsuch dispostion is 'sho'wnwhich consists of amonkey-wrench 16, a smaller ymonkey-wrench 17, a pipe wrench 1,8, anda hammer 19. 't z'- Having its 'ends secured to the rear wall 1,. substantially-midway between the parti-V tions and-,11, is an arcuate strap 20 which is adapted tov receiveftherein the upper end of a tool such as a greasecup wrench w21, the latter being positioned in a manner to extend in parallel relation-to the wrenchl? and having its lower end projecting,through any eX- tension 22 of the openingl. Also secured to the rear wall lis a clamp 23 which is adapted to receive therein thevupper `endl of a tool such' asV a cold-chiselv 24 which" extends in parallelrelation to the tool k19 and has its lower'fend projecting into an extension 25 of the ropening 15'.-
In order that the their proper'positions, a lock yor, retaining bar 26 is provided Which is pivotally connected with the partition 6adjacentone end.. of the latter. The opposite end of the Ylock bar 2,6 is formedwitli a hook M27 for. projection Y* tools may be locked-iu -l through an i opening 28 in thepartition 6.
The hook y2'?. is maintainedy within the-open` ing 28 by means, of a suitable :padlock 29 which riencircles the `bar 26 and rextendsy through `an' `opening 80,'in the partition 6. Whenthe lock bar 26is secured in its locked position, the same' extends acrossj the recesses recesses to prevent removal of such tools. With the tools 17 and 19 thus locked in position,they provide an obstruction to prevent the removal of the tools 21 and 24:. When it is desired to remove the tools, the lock 29 is removed and the hook 27 is withdrawn from the opening 28, after which the lock bar 26 is permitted. to swing to the position shown in dotted lines and designated A in Figure 1. ln order that the rack may be conveniently suspended from a nail or the like, not shown, the rear wall 1 is provided with an opening 31.
llt is thought that the many advantages of a tool rack in accordance with this invention will be readily apparent, and although the preferred embodiment of the invention is as illustrated and described, it is to be understood that changes in the size, shape and arrangement of parts may be resorted to, so long as such changes fall within the scope of the invention as defined inthe appended claims.
What l claim is i 1. A tool rack comprising a flat rear wall7 a pair of outwardly directed side walls integral with the rear wall and having inwardly extending fianges at the ends thereof, outwardly extending topland bottom walls secured against said flanges, upper and lower outwardly extending transversely disposed partitions interposed between said side walls and positioned between the transverse median of the rear wall and said top and bottom Walls, each of said partitions having rear and end flanges, said anges ysecured tothe rear and side walls, said upper partition having a set of spaced openings in proximity to its outer edge, said set consisting of a pair of outer openings and an inner'opening, said upper partition formed with spaced recesses opening at its outer edge for the passage of l tools, said lowerpartition being formed with openings aligning with said recesses for' the passage of tools, a retaining bar having a` hook at one end and an eye at its other end, said hook for extension through one outer opening of the said set, said eye coupled to the upper partition by engagement with the other outer opening ofthe set, and means for locking the bar to the intermediate opening of the said set.
2. Atool rack comprising a rear, top, bottom and a pair of side walls, upper and lower transversely extending spaced partitions parallel to said top and bottom walls, arranged between said side walls and secured to the latter and to said rear wall, said upper partition having a set of spaced openings in proximity to its outer' edge, said set consisting'of a pair of outer openings and an inner opening, said upper partition formed with spaced recesses opening at its outer edge for the passage of tools, said lower partition being formed with openings aligning with hereto.
