- Further objectives and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from a careful reading of a detailed description provided hereinbelow, with appropriate reference to accompanying drawings.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a tool retaining device in accordance with the present invention;
- FIG. 2 is an exploded view of the tool retaining device;
- FIGS. 3, 4 are perspective views illustrating the operation of the tool retaining device; and
- FIG. 5 is a perspective view similar to FIGS. 3 and 4, illustrating the other arrangement or embodiment of the tool retaining device.
- Referring to the drawings, and initially to FIGS. 1 and 2, a tool retaining device in accordance with the present invention comprises a
base 20 including one ormore cavities 21 formed therein (FIGS. 1-5) for receivingtool members 23 therein (FIG. 5), such as the screw driver bits or the like, and including one ormore rods 24 extended upwardly therefrom, and one ormore extensions 25 extended upwardly from therods 24 respectively and having an outer diameter smaller than that of therods 24 for forming or defining aperipheral shoulder 27 between therods 24 and theextensions 25 respectively. - The
other tool members 70, such as thesockets 70 may be engaged onto therods 24 and theextensions 25. Normally, thetypical sockets 70 may include a step hole formed therein (not shown) for receiving therods 24 and theextensions 25. It is preferable that therods 24 and theextensions 25 and theperipheral shoulders 27 of therods 24 include a shape corresponding to that of the step holes of thesockets 70, for allowing thesockets 70 to be stably engaged onto and retained on therods 24 and theextensions 25. Thebase 20 includes one or more, such as a pair ofopposite pivot pins 28 extended laterally outward from the sides thereof respectively. Thecavities 21 and therods 24 and/or theextensions 25 thus may form as a retaining means or device for retaining thetool members base 20. - A
frame 30 includes a pair ofarms 31 extended downward from the sides thereof respectively, and each having one ormore orifices pivot pins 28, and for adjustably and rotatably securing thearms 31 of theframe 30 to thebase 20. For example, theframe 30 may be adjusted and spaced away from thebase 20 when thepivot pins 28 are engaged in the lower pair oforifices 32 of theframe 30, and may be adjusted closer to thebase 20 when thepivot pins 28 are engaged in the other or the upper pair oforifices 33 of theframe 30. Theframe 30 may include one ormore fences 34 each having one ormore holes 35 formed therein for hanging purposes. The selective engagement of thepins 28 in the pairs oforifices frame 30 relative to thebase 20. - The
base 20 further includes one or more, such as a pair ofstops 26 extended laterally outward from the sides thereof. Thebase 20 is rotatable inward of theframe 30 in the inwardly rotating position or storing position (FIGS. 1, 3, 5), and rotatable outward of theframe 30 about thepivot pins 28 in the outwardly rotating position or working position (FIG. 4), for allowing thetool members base 20. Thelower portions 29 of thestops 26 may be engaged with thearms 31 of the frame 30 (FIG. 4) for limiting the outward rotation of thebase 20 relative to theframe 30, such that thestops 26 may form as a limiting means or device for limiting the rotational movement of thebase 20 relative to theframe 30. When thebase 20 is rotated inward of the frame 30 (FIGS. 1, 3, 5), a space or a gap 80 (FIG. 3) may be formed between thestop 26 and thearm 31 of theframe 30. - The
frame 30 further includes aslot 36 formed in one of thearms 31 thereof, for forming or defining alongitudinal track 37 in thearm 31. Aknob 40 includes achannel 41 formed therein for slidably receiving thetrack 37, and includes aguide rib 42 extended therefrom for slidably engaging in theslot 36 of theframe 30, and for allowing theknob 40 to be moved upwardly and downwardly along thetrack 37 of thearm 31. Theknob 40 includes alatch 43 extended therefrom for engaging into the gap 80 (FIG. 3) formed between thestop 26 and thearm 31 of the frame 30 (FIGS. 1, 5), so as to retain thebase 20 in the inwardly rotating position or storing position relative to theframe 30. Thelatch 43 of theknob 40 thus forms a latching means or device for retaining thebase 20 in the inwardly rotating position or storing position relative to theframe 30. - In operation, as shown in FIG. 3, when the
knob 40 is moved upward along thetrack 37 of theframe 30 in order to disengage thelatch 43 of theknob 40 from thegap 80 that is formed between thestop 26 and thearm 31 of theframe 30, thebase 20 is released relative to theframe 30 and is thus rotatable relative to theframe 30 about thepivot pins 28, such that thebase 20 may be rotated outwardly of theframe 30 to the working position as shown in FIG. 4, for allowing thetool members 70 to be easily obtained or fetched by the users. - The
pivot pins 28 of thebase 20 may be selectively or adjustably engaged with either pairs of theorifices frame 30 relative to thebase 20, and for allowing thetool members base 20 and theframe 30, particularly when thebase 20 is rotated relative to theframe 30 in the inwardly rotating position or storing position. Thebase 20 may include arecess 22 formed in the upper portion thereof for receiving or retaining or supporting thetool members - The tool retaining device may further includes a
panel 47 having atongue 48 extended therefrom for engaging into a groove 38 of theframe 30 which includes acasing 39 attached thereto or extended therefrom, such as extended from one side thereof for forming or defining the groove 38 therein. Thepanel 47 may include anaperture 49 formed therein for hanging purposes. - Accordingly, the tool retaining device in accordance with the present invention includes a stably retaining structure for stably retaining the tool members therein and for preventing the tool members from being disengaged from the tool retaining device, and/or includes an adjustable retaining structure for stably retaining the tool members of different sizes or lengths.
- Although this invention has been described with a certain degree of particularity, it is to be understood that the present disclosure has been made by way of example only and that numerous changes in the detailed construction and the combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed.
