Abstract

The present invention relates to an improved structure of wrench rack. The structure includes a rack, a sliding board and at least one lock piece. The rack has a sliding groove and a plurality of clips that are provided on both sides of the sliding groove in pairs. Every pair of clips is spaced in parallel for retaining different sizes of wrenches. Each of the clips consists of two opposite jaws, one of the jaws is equipped with an elastic piece to press on the wrench, and thus the wrench is retained between the jaws stably. The sliding board connects in sliding with the rack, and a plurality of positioning hooks are provided on one side of the sliding board in parallel, the positioning hooks can grip wrenches by sliding with the sliding board, so as to prevent the wrench from taking out. The lock piece can lock the sliding board on the rack when the positioning hook locks the wrench.

Claims

1. A wrench rack comprising:

a piece of rack having a front side and a rear side, a sliding groove penetrating the front side and rear side, two guiding tracks being formed on the rear side and a plurality of clips being provided on the front side, every two said clips pairing one set and being provided on both sides of said sliding groove to retain a wrench;

a sliding board including two side fringes for being sliding-fitted into said two guiding track of said rack, thus said two side fringes being located on the rear side of said rack, said sliding board having a plurality of positioning hooks being able to protrude to the front side of said rack, said positioning hooks can grip the wrenches by sliding with said sliding board; and

at least a lock piece for penetrating said sliding board and said rack, when said positioning hooks hooking the wrench, said sliding board and said rack can be coupled together.

2. The wrench rack as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of said clips consists of two opposite jaws.

3. The wrench rack as claimed in claim 2, wherein an extending direction of said jaw and said rack have an angle that is less than 90 degree.

4. The wrench rack as claimed in claim 2, wherein one of said jaws is equipped with an elastic piece that is elastic and able to press on the wrench.

5. The wrench rack as claimed in claim 4, wherein said elastic piece includes a protrusion that is formed on the pressing side thereof.

6. The wrench rack as claimed in claim 4, wherein said elastic piece is located on the inside of said jaw and a closed groove is formed between said elastic piece and said jaw.

7. The wrench rack as claimed in claim 6, wherein said closed groove is in figure of U.

8. The wrench rack as claimed in claim 6, wherein said closed groove is an arc.

9. The wrench rack as claimed in claim 4, wherein said elastic piece is located on the inside of said jaw and an open groove that is formed on each two sides of said elastic piece between said elastic piece and said jaw.

10. The wrench rack as claimed in claim 4, wherein said elastic piece is formed reversely from extension of said jaw.

11. The wrench rack as claimed in claim 1, wherein an upper portion of said rack has an opening for hanging or carrying.

12. The wrench rack as claimed in claim 1, wherein said sliding board has an extruding portion for being sliding-fitted into said sliding groove of said rack.

13. The wrench rack as claimed in claim 1, wherein said rack has at least one fixing hole and said sliding board has at least one lock hole, said fixing hole and said lock hole being penetrated by said lock piece.

14. The wrench rack as claimed in claim 13, wherein said lock piece is an expanding fixing bolt that is made of plastic material and has a compressible head.

15. The wrench rack as claimed in claim 1, wherein said rack includes at least one aperture that has two bigger diameter ends and said sliding board has a bulge for movable inserting into said aperture, said bulge being positioned when moving to said two ends of said aperture.

16. The wrench rack as claimed in claim 1, wherein said sliding board includes two positioning fringes that distance between said two positioning fringes is longer than the length of said guiding tracks, while said sliding board moving relative to said rack, one of said positioning fringes touching the ends of said guiding tracks to stop said sliding board getting out completely from said guiding tracks.
