A suspension rack assembly includes a main body, an anti-theft lock, an upper secondary body, and a lower secondary body. Thus, the suspension rack assembly can be used to suspend a single tool or multiple sets of tools. In addition, the suspension rack assembly can be carried on the user's waist. Further, the hand tool is fixed on the anti-theft lock and the support rack of the main body rigidly and stably, thereby providing an anti-theft function.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a suspension rack assembly, and more particularly to a multifunctional anti-theft suspension rack assembly.
2. Description of the Related Art
A conventional suspension rack can be used to package and hang an article, such as a hand tool or the like, on the wall or the display shelf for exhibition use. However, after the hand tool is removed from the suspension rack, the suspension rack is broken and useless, and has to be thrown away, thereby causing consumption of material. In addition, it is necessary to prepare a tool box to store the hand tool when not in use. Further, the conventional suspension rack does not have an anti-theft function, so that the hand tool is easily stolen.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a suspension rack assembly having a package exhibition function.
Another objective of the present invention is to provide a suspension rack assembly having an anti-theft function.
A further objective of the present invention is to provide a suspension rack assembly that can be used to suspend a single tool or multiple sets of tools.
A further objective of the present invention is to provide a suspension rack assembly that can be carried on the user's waist.
A further objective of the present invention is to provide a suspension rack assembly, wherein the hand tool is fixed on the anti-theft lock and the support rack of the main body rigidly and stably, thereby providing an anti-theft function.
A further objective of the present invention is to provide a suspension rack assembly, wherein the anti-theft lock is integrally formed on the main body without needing an additional working process, thereby decreasing costs of fabrication.
A further objective of the present invention is to provide a suspension rack assembly, wherein the main body can co-operate with the anti-theft lock, the upper secondary body and the lower secondary body to provide different functions, thereby enhancing the versatility of the suspension rack assembly so as to satisfying the user's different requirements.
In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a suspension rack assembly, comprising:
a main body having a lower portion provided with a protruding support rack and an upper portion provided with a protruding press portion; and
an anti-theft lock integrally formed on the main body and located adjacent to the support rack of the main body;
the anti-theft lock including a seat portion, and two arms each extended outward from the seat portion and each having a distal end formed with a retaining portion extended toward the support rack of the main body.
Further benefits and advantages of the present invention will become apparent after a careful reading of the detailed description with appropriate reference to the accompanying drawings.

and the support rack
11
of the main body
10
rigidly and stably, thereby providing an anti-theft function.
As shown in
FIG. 4
, after the consumer purchases the hand tool
50
, the connection between the seat portion
21
of the anti-theft lock
20
and the main body
10
is broken to detach the seat portion
21
of the anti-theft lock
20
from the main body
10
, so that the hand tool
50
can be detached from the support rack
11
of the main body
10
easily and conveniently for use.
In addition, when not in use, the bottom portion
510
of the handle
51
of the hand tool
50
is retained by the positioning hole
111
of the support rack
11
of the main body
10
, while the top portion of the handle
51
of the hand tool
50
is secured in the guide portion
130
of the press portion
13
of the main body
10
, so that the hand tool
50
is supported on the support rack
11
of the main body
10
rigidly and stably. At this time, the first fixing portion
14
or the second fixing portion
15
of the main body
10
can be fixed on the wall or other object by a screw or the like, thereby fixing the main body
10
and the hand tool
50
.
As shown in
FIG. 5
, the suspension rack assembly further comprises a suspension rack
60
mounted on the main body
10
and includes at least one elastic locking members
61
provided with a locking portion
610
locked in the first fixing portion
14
or the second fixing portion
15
of the main body
10
, so that first fixing portion
14
or the second fixing portion
15
of the main body
10
is attached to the suspension rack
60
. The suspension rack
60
is formed with two fixing holes
62
, so that the suspension rack
60
can be fixed on the wall or other object by screws
65
. The suspension rack
60
is formed with two hanging portions
63
, so that the suspension rack
60
can be suspended on the wall or other object.
As shown in
FIG. 6
, in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, the suspension rack
60
A has a different configuration.
Referring to
FIGS. 7-9
, the guide head
320
of the positioning portion
32
of the upper secondary body
30
is extended through the receiving portion
12
of the main body
10
, and the retaining neck
321
of the positioning portion
32
of the upper secondary body
30
is slidably mounted in the receiving portion
12
of the main body
10
, so that the upper secondary body
30
can be rotated relative to the main body
10
about the positioning portion
32
.
In addition, a waist belt
70
is extended between the upper secondary body
30
and the main body
10
, and is locked by the locking tooth

70
, thereby facilitating the user carrying the hand tool
50
and the main body
10
on the waist belt
70
.
Further, the fixing portion
41
of the lower secondary body
40
is fixed on the wall
80
by a screw member
42
, and the bottom of the upper secondary body
30
is inserted into the gap between the lower secondary body
40

40
.
Accordingly, the bottom portion
510
of the handle
51
of the hand tool
50
is clamped between the retaining portions
23
of the anti-theft lock
20
and the positioning hole
111
of the support rack
11
of the main body
10
, while the top portion of the handle
51

, so that the hand tool
50
is fixed on the anti-theft lock
20
and the support rack
11
of the main body
10
rigidly and stably, thereby providing an anti-theft function.
In addition, the anti-theft lock
20
is integrally formed on the main body
10
without needing an additional working process, thereby decreasing costs of fabrication.
Further, the main body
10
can co-operate with the anti-theft lock
20
, the upper secondary body
30
and the lower secondary body
40
to provide different functions, thereby enhancing the versatility of the suspension rack assembly so as to satisfying the user's different requirements.
