Socket holding frame
View Patent ↗A socket holding frame has a track base and a socket holding mount. The track base has a positioning panel having multiple round locking holes arranged at spaced interval and aligned in a straight line and two side racks respectively located at two opposite sides of the positioning panel. Each side rack has a sliding channel. The socket holding mount has a round flange extending into the sliding channels of the two side racks, a holding portion formed from a top of the flange, and a positioning protrusion extending out of a bottom surface of the flange and being coaxial with the flange. The positioning protrusion is selectively mounted into one of the locking holes. The socket holding mount is rotatable relative to the track base around the positioning protrusion.
1 . A socket holding frame comprising:
a track base having
a positioning panel being elongated and having
multiple round locking holes arranged at spaced intervals and aligned in a straight line; and
two side racks respectively located at two opposite sides of the positioning panel, and each of the two side racks having
an upper rail panel located higher than the positioning panel;
a lower rail panel; and
a sliding channel formed between the upper rail panel and the lower rail panel and having an opening facing toward and communicating with the opening of the sliding channel of the other one of the two side racks;
a socket holding mount slidably and rotatably mounted on the track base and having
a round flange disposed between the upper rail panels and the lower rail panels of the two side racks and extending into the sliding channels of the two side racks via diametrical opposite sides of the round flange, respectively, and being slidable relative to the sliding channels of the two side racks along the sliding channels;
a holding portion formed on and protruding upwardly from a top of the round flange and configured to hold a socket; and
a single positioning protrusion formed at a bottom of the socket holding mount, extending out of a bottom surface of the round flange, being coaxial with the round flange, arranged at a flange center from which all points on a boundary of the round flange are equidistant, and selectively mounted into one of the locking holes;
wherein the socket holding mount is rotatable relative to the track base around the single positioning protrusion mounted into said one of the locking holes.
2 . The socket holding frame as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a lower end of the single positioning protrusion is convex.
3 . The socket holding frame as claimed in claim 2 , wherein
an assembling cavity is located lower than the two side racks;
an upper opening is formed between the lower rail panels of the two side racks and communicates with the assembling cavity; and
the positioning panel is an elongated panel disposed in the assembling cavity.
4 . The socket holding frame as claimed in claim 3 , wherein
the positioning panel has an abutting portion having a convex surface facing upward and extending into the upper opening; and
the multiple locking holes are formed in the abutting portion of the positioning panel.
5 . The socket holding frame as claimed in claim 4 , wherein a highest point of the abutting portion of the positioning panel is located higher than top surfaces of the lower rail panels of the two side racks.
6 . The socket holding frame as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the two opposite sides of the positioning panel are respectively connected with the lower rail panels of the two side racks.
7 . The socket holding frame as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the single positioning protrusion of the socket holding mount is formed integrally with the round flange of the socket holding mount as a single piece.
8 . The socket holding frame as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the single positioning protrusion of the socket holding mount is formed integrally with the round flange of the socket holding mount as a single piece.
9 . The socket holding frame as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the single positioning protrusion of the socket holding mount is formed integrally with the round flange of the socket holding mount as a single piece.
10 . The socket holding frame as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the single positioning protrusion of the socket holding mount is formed integrally with the round flange of the socket holding mount as a single piece.
11 . The socket holding frame as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the single positioning protrusion of the socket holding mount is formed integrally with the round flange of the socket holding mount as a single piece.
12 . The socket holding frame as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the single positioning protrusion of the socket holding mount is formed integrally with the round flange of the socket holding mount as a single piece.
