Abstract

A socket connecting structure includes a connecting portion disposed on a suspension element and a stub extending from the connecting portion, wherein the stub is connected to a socket. The stub has a resilient stick formed on one side thereof and a spring formed within the stub. The spring has one end connected to an inner periphery of the stub and abuts a back of the resilient stick to provide a thrust to the resilient stick for connecting the socket when the resilient stick is worn out.

Claims (3)

1. A socket connecting structure comprising a connecting portion adapted to be disposed on a support element and a stub extending from the connecting portion and being an integral with the stub, wherein the stub is generally adapted to be confined within a cubic hole of a socket, the stub having three continuous side walls which defined only one side opening, a resilient stick disposed in the side opening and a spring formed within the stub opposite to the side opening, at least one of the three side walls having a teethed structure formed thereon for promoting the friction between the socket and the stub, the spring having one end extending from an inner periphery of the stub and another end abutting a back of the resilient suck to provide a thrust to the resilient stick for connecting the socket.

2. The socket connecting structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the support element is a rack, and the connecting portion has a dove-tail structure which is adapted to be slidably mounted on the rack.

3. The socket connecting structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the connecting portion is a suspension card for displaying the socket.
