1 HAND TOOL HOLDER
2 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

3 1. Field of the Invention

4 The present invention relates to a holder, and more particularly to a hand
tool holder.

6 2. Description of Related Art

7 A hand tool holder can be mounted on a wall with fasteners and has
8 multiple hanging hooks on which multiple wrenches are hanged.

9 However, a conventional hand tool cannot hold a sleeve. Furthermore,
in order to hang a heavily hand tool on the conventional hand tool holder,
sizes
11 of the hanging hooks have to be increasing according to weights of the
wrenches
12 so causing waste of material.

13 To overcome the shortcomings, the present invention tends to provide a
14 hand tool holder to mitigate or obviate the aforementioned problems.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

16 A hand tool holder has a base and multiple holding elements. The base
17 has a hanging seat and a track. The track protrudes from the hanging seat.
Each
18 holding element has a sliding block, a protrusion, an extending board, a
19 mounting stub, a shaft mount and a hanging shaft. The sliding block is
mounted
on the track. The protrusion protrudes from the sliding block. The extending
21 board protrudes from the protrusion. The mounting stub protrudes from the
22 extending board. The shaft mount protrudes from the protrusion, is opposite
to
23 the mounting stub and has an inserted block located on a bottom of the
shaft
24 mount. The hanging shaft is metal, is wrapped in the inserted block by
injection

19 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

With reference to Figs. 1 to 3, a hand tool holder in accordance with the
21 present invention comprises a base 10 and multiple holding elements 20. The
22 base 10 has a hanging seat 11 and a track 12. The hanging seat 11 is
rectangular
23 and has two hanging holes 111. The two hanging holes 111 are defined
through
24 the hanging seat 11 and the hand tool holder may be mounted on a wall with
two

1 fasteners mounted through the hanging holes 1 1 ] . The track 12 protrudes
from
2 along the hanging seat 11 and has a top surface, a bottom surface, an
abutting
3 surface, a top channel 121, a bottom channel 122 and a ditch 123. The
abutting
4 surface is perpendicularly the top surface and the bottom surface. The top
channel 121 is defined in along the top surface of the track 12. The bottom
6 channel 122 is defined in along the bottom surface of the track 12. The
ditch 123
7 is defined in along the abutting surface of the track 12 between the top
surface
8 and the bottom surface to provide a space, so that the top surface of the
track 12
9 and the bottom surface of the track 12 is allowed to be curved.

The holding elements 20 are manufactured by injection molding and
11 each holding element 20 has a sliding block 21, a protrusion 22, an
extending
12 board 23, a mounting stub 24, a shaft mount 25 and a hanging shaft 26. The
13 sliding block 21 is slidably mounted on the track 12 and has a top ann 211
and a
14 bottom arm 212. The top arm 211 slidably hooks in the top channel 121. The
bottom arm 212 slidably hooks in the bottom channel 122. The protrusion 22
16 protrudes from the sliding block 21, is hollow and opposite to the track 12
and
17 has an extending surface and a through hole 221. The through hole 221 is
defined
18 through the protrusion 22. The extending board 23 is a rectangular board
and is
19 formed on and protrudes from the protrusion 22. The mounting stub 24 is a
cylinder and perpendicularly protrudes from the extending board 23. The shaft
21 mount 25 perpendicularly protrudes from the extending surface of the
protrusion
22 22 and is opposite to the mounting stub 24. The extending stub 25 has two
sides,
23 a bottom, two recesses 251, four ribs 252 and an inserted block 253. The
recesses
24 251 are respectively defined in the two sides of the shaft mount 25 to form
the


CA 02718643 2010-10-15

1 four ribs 252 respectively at the sides of the shaft mount 25. The inserted
block
2 253 has a round cross section and is formed on the bottom of the shaft mount
25
3 below the four ribs 252 and the recesses 251. The hanging shaft 26 is metal,
is
4 wrapped in the inserted block 253 by injection molding and has an inserted
end,
a hanging end, a flange 261 and a hook 262. The inserted end of the hanging
6 shaft 26 is inserted the inserted block 253. The hanging end of the hanging
shaft
7 26 is opposite to the inserted end of the hanging shaft 26, protrudes from
the
8 inserted block 253 and having an extension length from the inserted block
253
9 longer that of the extending board 23 from the protrusion 22. The flange 261
is
square in cross section, protrusions from the inserted end of the hanging
shaft 26
11 and is wrapped in the inserted block 253, so the hanging shaft 26 is
engaged the
12 inserted block 253 by the flange 261. The hook 262 protrudes upwardly from
the
13 hanging end.

14 With reference to Figs. 4 to 6, the hand tool holder may be mounted on a
peg board 40 with two locking elements 30. Wrenches 51 are respectively
16 hanged on the hanging shafts 26 and sleeves 50 are respectively mounted on
the
17 mounting stubs 24. Because the hanging shaft 26 is metal and is wrapped in
the
18 inserted block 253 by injection molding, structural strength of the hanging
shaft
19 26 is increased. Furthermore, the four ribs 252 make the shaft mount 25
having
an "H" cross- section, such that the structural strength of the shaft mount 25
is
21 improved to avoid the shaft mount 25 from being deformed or bent.
Therefore,
22 the holding elements 20 is durable in structure to load and support a
heavily hand
23 tool.

24 Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present
