Abstract

A suspension device designed for a tool having a ring portion is provided. The major feature of the suspension device is that a one-piece hook member having three sequentially and flexibly linked portions is provided at the bottom of a suspension board. The three portions can be threaded through the ring portion of the tool and bended upward to form a U shape, thereby supporting the tool be the middle portion of the hook member. The outmost portion has a plug at its tip for joining with a socket member of the suspension device so that the tool cannot be removed from the hook member easily and manually.
