Abstract

A tool suspension rack consists of a suspension element ( 10, or 50 ) movably hanging multiple tool sockets ( 14 ) thereon, and a fixing element ( 20, 40, or 80 ) secured on the suspension plate ( 10 ) and meanwhile fixing the multiple tool sockets ( 14 ) so as to provide a theft-proof effect.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is:

 two connecting protrusions ( 21 ) respectively formed on two oppositely distal ends of fixing rack ( 20 ); and  
 a second aperture ( 211 ) defined in connecting protrusion ( 21 ) and corresponding to the first aperture ( 181 ) of the track ( 12 ); and  
   a snapper ( 30 ) penetrating the first aperture ( 181 ) and the second aperture ( 211 ) to combine the suspension plate ( 10 ) and the fixing rack ( 20 ) together.    
     
     
         4 . The tool suspension rack as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the suspension plate ( 10 ) further has 
 two flanges ( 18 ) respectively formed on opposite ends of the track ( 12 ); and    a first aperture ( 181 ) defined in each flange ( 18 );    the fixing rack ( 20 ) is U-shaped and further has: 
 two connecting protrusions ( 21 ) respectively formed on two oppositely distal ends of fixing rack ( 20 ); and  
 a second aperture ( 211 ) defined in connecting protrusion ( 21 ) and corresponding to the first aperture ( 181 ) of the track ( 12 ); and  
   a snapper ( 30 ) penetrating the first aperture ( 181 ) and the second aperture ( 211 ) to combine the suspension plate ( 10 ) and the fixing rack ( 20 ) together.    
     
     
         5 . The tool suspension rack as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the fixing rack ( 40 ) further has multiple second insertions ( 46 ), each second insertion ( 46 ) is shorter than the first insertion ( 44 ) and formed on the fixing rack ( 40 ) in an alternating manner with the first insertion ( 44 ); 
 wherein the second insertions ( 46 ) fix and insert into the correspondingly at least one tool socket when the tool suspension rack is combined.    
     
     
         6 . The tool suspension rack as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the fixing rack ( 40 ) further has multiple second insertions ( 46 ), each second insertion ( 46 ) is shorter than the first insertion ( 44 ) and formed on the fixing rack ( 40 ) in an alternating manner with the first insertion ( 44 ); 
 wherein the second insertions ( 46 ) fix and insert into the correspondingly at least one tool socket when the tool suspension rack is combined.    
     
     
         7 . The tool suspension rack as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the suspension plate ( 10 ) further has a suspension hole ( 11 ) defined therein.  
     
     
         8 . The tool suspension rack as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein each the suspension plate ( 10 ) further has a suspension hole ( 11 ) defined therein.  
     
     
         9 . A tool suspension rack adapted to receive at least one tool socket and comprising: 
 a suspension frame ( 50 ) adapted to receive the at least one tool socket thereon and having:
