Tool socket

Abstract

The present invention comprises a retaining base having a plurality of holes for inserting tools, and a track base having a track on it; a sliding member, for accommodating and sliding the track of the tracking base, and a plurality of latching members are disposed on the sliding member; such arrangement allows the holes for inserting the tool to be latched or released when the external force is exerted to displace the sliding member.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A tool socket, comprising: 
 a retaining base, further comprising a plurality of holes for inserting tools, and a track base with a track thereon;    a sliding member, accommodated in the track of the track base for sliding, and having a plurality of latches:    such arrangement allowing the holes for inserting the tool to be latched or released when the external force being exerted to displace the sliding member.    
     
     
         2 . A tool socket as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said retaining base under the corresponding holes having a plurality of hole bases.  
     
     
         3 . A tool socket as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said retaining base at one of its sides corresponsive to the hole having a window.  
     
     
         4 . A tool socket as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said retaining base at both of its ends each having a pivotal post.  
     
     
         5 . A tool socket as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein one of said pivotal posts being longer than the other.  
     
     
         6 . A tool socket as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said retaining base at its side on an appropriate distance having an embedding hole, and a plurality of embedding posts disposed on the track base exactly embedding into the embedding holes.  
     
     
         7 . A tool socket as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said track base having a switching opening, such that a sliding member having a switch extending to the switch opening.  
     
     
         8 . A tool socket as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said latch on the sliding member being transversally disposed on a protrusion.  
     
     
         9 . A tool socket as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising an elastic member disposed in the axial hole of a hole base a the end of the sliding member.  
     
     
         10 . A tool socket as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said pivotal posts on both sides of the retaining base being pivotally coupled to and passing through the axial holes on both sides of the indented space of a toolbox.  
     
     
         11 . A tool socket as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein said toolbox having a blocking member such that the blocking member blocking the tool from being switched forward in the tool socket.  
     
     
         12 . A tool socket as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said retaining base having a latching button on both sides of the retaining base.  
     
     
         13 . A tool socket as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein said toolbox having a latching member such that the tool socket being fixed into a position when being switched forward.
