Abstract

Disclosed is a tool rack having a track, at least one tool positioning seat and two combined end covers. The track has an intermediate plate, two lateral grooves and two ends. Each lateral groove forms two side wall edges and one side opening, and the intermediate plate is respectively provided with a through hole at a position adjacent to each end. Each combined end cover includes a main body, one end limit block, two side claws and a bump. The main body has two lateral sides and one end side, and an abutting surface used for abutting against an outer wall surface of one side wall edge of the track. The end limit block abuts on the end of the track. The two side claws are respectively gripped and positioned outside the side wall edge of the track, and the bump is embedded in the through hole.

Claims (11)

1. A tool rack assembly comprising:

an elongated track having an intermediate plate and a pair of lateral grooves and a pair of ends symmetrically connected respectively to opposite sides of the intermediate, plate, the pair of lateral grooves being oppositely defined to form a pair of side wall edges arranged vertically and to form a side opening between outer sides of the pair of side wall edges;

at least one tool positioning seat having a pair of gripping legs arranged symmetrically, wherein the pair of gripping legs hook the outer sides of the respective side wall edges of the pair of side wall edges, the intermediate plate having a through hole adjacent each of the pair of ends, the through hole extending through a thickness of the intermediate plate; and

a pair of end covers, each of said pair of end covers comprising:

a main body having an abutting surface and a pair of lateral sides and an end side, wherein the abutting surface abuts against an outer wall of one of the pair of side wall edges of said track;

an end limit block protruding downwardly adjacent the end side from the abutting surface, said end limit block abutting one end of said track;

a pair of side claws being a pair of elastic undercuts protruding downwardly near the pair of lateral sides from the abutting surface, wherein said pair of side claws grip respectively the outer sides of the pair of side wall edges of said track; and

a bump protruding downwardly between said pair of side claws, said bump being embedded in the through hole of the intermediate plate of said track, wherein said bump has a T-shaped cross-section, each side edge of a downward protruding end of said bump has a chamfer thereon.

2. The tool rack assembly of claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the intermediate plate has a first thickness and a second thickness, the second thickness being defined between the outer wall surface of the pair of side wall edges, the second thickness being greater than the first thickness, wherein the intermediate plate has a concave surface relative to the outer wall surface of the pair of side wall edges.

3. The tool rack assembly of claim 2 , wherein the downwardly protruding end of said end limit block has an undercut part, the undercut part abutting against a corresponding portion of the intermediate plate.

4. The tool rack assembly of claim 3 , wherein said end limit block has a pair of stilts arranged in spaced relation so as to connect to the abutting surface, the pair of stilts defining a hollow part, wherein said end limit block has a hooking width that coordinates with a width of the intermediate plate.
