Abstract

A suspension display rack for hand tools has a rail and multiple sliding blocks. The rail has a back-strip and two hooks. The hooks are formed on the back strip and each hook has a longitudinal groove. Each sliding block has a base, two cylindrical slides and a seat. The cylindrical slides are respectively received in the longitudinal grooves so that the hand tools can be hung on the sliding blocks to transversely slide along the rail.

Claims (19)

1. A suspension display rack for tools comprising:

a rail having

a back-strip being longitudinal and flat and having an inner surface, a top edge, a bottom edge and two opposite ends;

two hooks being longitudinal, being formed on and perpendicularly protruding from the inner surface respectively at the top and bottom edges of the back strip and each hook having a longitudinal groove defined in the hook and having a curved inner surface, and the curved inner surface having an arcuate outline; and

two securing members defined respectively at opposite ends of the back-strip;

multiple sliding blocks mounted slidably in the rail and each sliding block having

a base being substantially V-shaped and having

a thickness; and

two supporting plates separated from the inner surface of the back strip at an interval, connected to each other with an included angle being obtuse and each supporting plate having a distal end;

two cylindrical slides formed respectively on the distal ends of the supporting plates of the base, slidably mounted respectively in the longitudinal grooves of the hooks and each cylindrical slide having

a diameter being larger than the thickness of each supporting plate; and

a circular cross section corresponding to the arcuate outline of the curved inner surface of the longitudinal groove of one hook;

a seat being solid, formed on and protruding from the supporting plates of the base and having

a proximal section formed on and protruding forwards from the base and having a thickness, a top surface and a bottom surface being parallel to the top surface; and

a tapered section being tapered forwards from the base, formed on and protruding forwards and having

an average section being smaller than the thickness of the proximal section;

a top surface; and

a bottom guiding surface being concave, having a rear end and a front end and gradually thinning the tapered section from the rear end to the front end; and

a flange formed on and protruding perpendicularly and upwards from the top surface of the tapered section of the seat.
