Socket holding frame
View Patent ↗A socket holding frame has a track base and at least one positioning mount. The track base has a bottom panel and a slide rail. The bottom panel has at least one first engaging segment formed on a top surface of the bottom panel. The at least one positioning mount is slidably and rotatably mounted on the track base, and each one of the at least one positioning mount has a sliding seat and an extending element. The sliding seat is slidably and rotatably mounted in the slide rail and has multiple second engaging segments. The multiple second engaging segments selectively engage with the at least one first engaging segment on the bottom panel. The extending element is formed on the sliding seat and extends out of the slide rail.
1. A socket holding frame comprising:
a track base being elongated and having
a bottom panel having
a top surface;
a bottom surface; and
at least one first engaging segment formed on the top surface of the bottom panel; and
a slide rail integrally formed on and protruding from the top surface of the bottom panel to form as a single piece with the bottom panel and having
a top side;
a top opening formed through the top side of the slide rail; and
a sliding recess formed in the slide rail between the top side of the slide rail and the top surface of the bottom panel and communicating with the top opening; and
at least one positioning mount slidably and rotatably mounted on the track base, each one of the at least one positioning mount having
a sliding seat slidably and rotatably mounted in the sliding recess of the slide rail and engaging with the at least one first engaging segment of the bottom panel, and having
a top side; a bottom side; and
an engaging flange formed on and protruding downwardly from the bottom side of the sliding seat and having
a bottom surface;
a sliding groove defined in and diametrically extending through the bottom surface of the engaging flange; and
multiple second engaging segments arranged annularly in a continuous manner on the bottom surface of the engaging flange at spaced intervals, wherein each one of the multiple second engaging segments is radially formed on the bottom surface of the engaging flange and selectively engages with the at least one first engaging segment to secure each positioning mount to the bottom panel in a stationary manner wherein the sliding groove and a portion of said second engaging segments radially align and are configured to align with the at least one first engaging segment in order to enable the at least one positioning mount to be disengaged from the at least one first engaging segment and moved to another location; and
an extending element formed on and protruding upwardly from the top side of the sliding seat and extending out of the slide rail via the top opening, wherein
the at least one positioning mount is formed of a resilient material and is deformable when each one of the at least one positioning mount is rotated relative to the sliding recess.
2. The socket holding frame as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one first engaging segment is implemented as one in amount; and
the at least one first engaging segment is elongated and extends to two ends of the bottom panel.
