The present invention relates to an anti-theft display rack, and more particularly, to an anti-theft display rack for displaying sockets.
One of the conventional ways to display products such as sockets is to directly display the sockets on a wall and the sockets are packed or not packed. This is convenient for the users to check the size and surface conditions of the sockets. However, this conventional way of display involves safety issues.
The present invention intends to provide an anti-theft display rack which allows the users to see and touch the products, and the products are secured in a safe way to improve the shortcomings mentioned above.
The present invention relates to an anti-theft display rack and comprises a display rack having multiple positioning members, and each positioning member is engaged with a socket. The display rack has a head formed on the first end thereof, and a tail is on the second end thereof. The head has a first engaging portion on the first end thereof, and a hanging hole is defined through the second end of the head. An elongate cover has a flange extending therefrom so as to define room 32 surrounded by the flange. The room receives the sockets. The cover has a pivotal portion on the first end thereof, and the pivotal portion is pivotably connected to the tail. The cover has a second engaging portion on the second end thereof. The second engaging portion is detachably connected to the first engaging portion to be mounted to the sockets by the flange in the room.
Preferably, each of the positioning members includes a neck extending from the display rack. A disk is connected to the distal end of the neck. The disk is engaged with the socket.
Preferably, the tail has a plate extending therefrom, and two pivots respectively extend from two sides of the plate. The pivotal portion includes a slot which is defined between two extensions, and each extension includes a through hole. The plate is located in the slot and the two pivots are pivotably engaged with the through holes so that the cover is pivoted about the pivotal portion.
Preferably, the first engaging portion is a protrusion, and the second engaging portion is a recess with which the first engaging portion is engaged.
Preferably, a resilient piece is connected to the second end of the cover and the second engaging portion is defined in the resilient piece.
Preferably, the display rack has a passage defined therethrough and a fastening strip extends through the passage and wraps around the cover and the display rack.
Preferably, the cover includes a notch defined in the top thereof when the cover is mounted to the sockets. The fastening strip extends through the notch.
The present invention will become more obvious from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings which show, for purposes of illustration only, a preferred embodiment in accordance with the present invention.
Referring to
The display rack 20 has a head 22 formed on the first end thereof and a tail 23 is on the second end thereof. The head 22 has a first engaging portion 221 on the first end thereof, and a hanging hole 222 is defined through the second end of the head 22.
An elongate cover 30 has a flange 31 extending therefrom so as to define a room 32 surrounded by the flange 31. The flange 31 shaped to define multiple partitions that are fit to the sockets 10 of different sizes. The cover 30 has a pivotal portion 33 on the first end thereof, and the pivotal portion 33 is pivotably connected to the tail 23. The cover 30 has a second engaging portion 34 on the second end thereof. The second engaging portion 34 is detachably connected to the first engaging portion 221 so as to be mounted to the sockets 10 by the flange 31 in the room 32.
Specifically, the tail 23 has a plate 231 extending therefrom. Two pivots 232 respectively extend from two sides of the plate 231. The pivotal portion 33 includes a slot 331 which is defined between two extensions, and each extension includes a through hole 332. The plate 231 is located in the slot 331 and the two pivots 232 are pivotably engaged with the through holes 332 so that the cover 30 is pivoted about the pivotal portion 33. In this embodiment, the first engaging portion 221 is a protrusion, and the second engaging portion 34 is a recess with which the first engaging portion 221 is engaged.
Preferably, a resilient piece 35 is connected to the second end of the cover 30 and the second engaging portion 34 is defined in the resilient piece 35.
Furthermore, the display rack 20 has a passage 24 defined therethrough and a fastening strip 40 extends through the passage 24 and wraps around the cover 30 and the display rack 20. Specifically, the cover 30 includes a notch 36 defined in the top thereof when the cover 30 is adapted to be mounted to the sockets 10. The fastening strip 40 extends through the notch 36.
The partitions of the room 32 include different sizes and the disks 212 are also sized to be fit the sockets 10 of different sizes. After the sockets 10 are mounted to the disks 212, the cover 30 is pivoted about the pivotal portion 33 to be mounted to the sockets 10, while the second engaging portion 34 is engaged with the first engaging portion 221 as shown in
The fastening strip 40 extends through the passage 24 of the display rack 20 and wraps around the cover 30 via the notch 36, and combines the cover 30 to the display rack 20. By this way, the cover 30 cannot be opened and the display rack 20 has safety feature.
While we have shown and described the embodiment in accordance with the present invention, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that further embodiments may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
