Abstract

A socket holding frame assembly has a track base and multiple socket positioning holders. The track base has a base panel and a connection hole formed through the base panel. The socket positioning holders are slidably and rotatably connected with the track base. Each socket positioning holder comprises a holder body, an inserted part being metallic and combined in a bottom of the holder body, and a bolt inserted through the connection hole from a bottom of the base panel and connected with the inserted part via a threaded engagement to tightly fasten the holder body on the track base.

Claims (45)

1. A socket holding frame assembly comprising:

a track base having

a base panel being elongated; and

a connection hole formed through the base panel; and

multiple socket positioning holders arranged along a longitudinal direction of the track base and slidably and rotatably connected to the track base, each of the multiple socket positioning holders comprising

a holder body rotatably, slidably, and detachably connected to the track base and disposed above the base panel;

an inserted part, made of metal, inserted into and combined with a bottom of the holder body, and having

a threaded hole communicating with the connection hole of the track base; and

a bolt inserted through the connection hole of the track base from a bottom of the base panel, connected with the threaded hole of the inserted part to tightly fasten the holder body to the track base, and including

a rod inserted through the connection hole of the track base from the bottom of the base panel and connected with the threaded hole of the inserted part via threaded engagement; and

a head formed at an end of the rod and disposed below the base panel; wherein

the inserted part of each of the multiple socket positioning holders is combined with the holder body of the socket positioning holder as a whole unit by insert molding;

a periphery of the insert part of each of the multiple socket positioning holders is surrounded by the holder body without gaps.

2. The socket holding frame assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein

the holder body of each of the multiple socket positioning holders includes a holder base and an insertion portion formed at the bottom of the holder body;

the inserted part of each of the multiple socket positioning holders is inserted into and combined with the insertion portion of the holder body of the socket positioning holder; and

a bottom surface of the inserted part of each of the multiple socket positioning holders is located higher than a bottom surface of the holder base of the holder body of the socket positioning holder.

3. The socket holding frame assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the inserted part of each of the multiple socket positioning holders includes a plurality of engaging recesses arranged around an external periphery of the inserted part and engaging with the holder body of the socket positioning holder.

4. The socket holding frame assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein

the inserted part of each of the multiple socket positioning holders includes

a first toothed portion;

a second toothed portion located above the first toothed portion; and

an annular groove formed between the first toothed portion and the second toothed portion and engaging with the holder body of the socket positioning holder;

a plurality of engaging recesses arranged around the first toothed portion and engaging with the holder body of the socket positioning holder; and

a plurality of engaging recesses arranged around the second toothed portion and engaging with the holder body of the socket positioning holder.

5. The socket holding frame assembly as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the plurality of the engaging recesses arranged around the first toothed portion and the plurality of the engaging recesses arranged around the second toothed portion are respectively tilted clockwise and counterclockwise.

6. The socket holding frame assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the inserted part of each of the multiple socket positioning holders has a polygonal rim.

7. The socket holding frame assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein
