1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an article carrier, and more particularly to a bandoleer of article carriers capable of holding and carrying a plurality of articles for assisting the articles to be plated one after another.
2. The Related Art
A traditional connector shell is often made by means of curving a metal board. Two free ends of the metal board are riveted with each other to make the connector shell show a rectangular tube shape. However, electronic products are demanded with greater and greater precision, so it is preferable to apply no jointing work to the connector shell instead of riveting with the two free ends of the metal board. Then the connector shell is plated in a plating bath. However, the connector shells made by no jointing work are single spare parts. As a result, the connector shells cannot be plated by continuous plating technology when mass-production is needed.
An object of the present invention is to provide a bandoleer of article carriers which is adapted to hold and carry a plurality of articles to assist the articles to be plated one after another. The bandoleer of article carriers includes a carrier band, and a plurality of carrier racks connected with a bottom edge of the carrier band each by means of a connecting plate and arranged at regular intervals along the carrier band. Each of the carrier racks shows a substantially inverted-V shape and has a pair of elastic arms extending downward from two ends of a bottom edge of the connecting plate and gradually inclined away from each other. Two distal ends of the pair of elastic arms protrude oppositely to each other to form a pair of hook portions. Upper portions of two opposite side edges of the connecting plate oppositely protrude sideward to form a pair of blocking portions. Lower portions of the two opposite side edges of the connecting plate oppositely protrude sideward and then are bent towards two opposite directions perpendicular to the plane of the connecting plate to form a pair of lying-L shaped resisting portions. The carrier rack is inserted downward into the article and then the elastic arms are set free to make the hook portions hooked under the article and the article restrained between the blocking portions and the hook portions. Distal ends of the resisting portions abut against two opposite inner sides of the article, and two opposite outside faces of the resisting portions abut against another two opposite inner sides of the article, so as to further secure the article with the carrier rack.
As described above, based on the structure design of the carrier rack, an operator can use one hand thereof to press the elastic arms towards each other and the other hand thereof to hold the article so as to make the article easily assembled to and taken off from the carrier rack. Furthermore, the blocking portions, the resisting portions and the hook portions can further firmly secure the article to the carrier rack.
The present invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art by reading the following description thereof, with reference to the attached drawings, in which:

As described above, based on the structure design of the carrier rack 19, the operator can use one hand thereof to press the elastic arms 13 towards each other and the other hand thereof to hold the article 20 so as to make the article 20 easily assembled to and taken off from the carrier rack 19. Furthermore, the article carrier 10 utilizes the blocking portions 121, the hook portions 14, the resisting portions 123 and the bumps 1231 to firmly secure the article 20 to the carrier rack 19.
