1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a display board, and more particularly to a display board for socket.
2. Description of the Prior Art
A prior art of a display board for a socket to assemble thereto is disclosed in TWI404658. It includes a hanging frame, a back plate and a bottom base. The bottom base has a bottom surface aligning with a bottom edge of the back plate. The bottom base includes an engaging slot and a hanging member. The hanging member is formed via plastic injection molding and formed with a base plate to assemble to the engaging slot. The hanging member is formed with a plurality of fastening members for penetrating through the base plate and fixing the base plate to the bottom base. The top surface of the bottom plate is protrudedly and space-apart formed with a plurality of cylinders which are for the socket to sleeve on.
However, a structure of the display board as described above is for a socket without a stepping inner hole to sleeve thereon. If a socket has the stepping inner hole (such as a socket with a sleeve member assembled in an inner hole), the sleeve member is easily departed from the socket when the socket and the display board are disassembled from each other, because the sleeve member is overly engaged with the display board. And it causes a function of the socket to fail. And if the sleeve member and the display board are releasingly assembled to each other, the socket fails to assemble to the display board steadily and easily falls off from the display board.
The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the afore-described disadvantages.
The primary object of the present invention is to provide a display board. The display board includes a stepped engagement portion which is for a socket to engagedly sleeve thereon. It is convenient for the socket to store and display. A sleeve member assembled in the socket is undeparted from the socket when the socket and the stepped engagement portion are disassembled from each other. It is convenient and safe in using. The sleeve member is further positioned and works with a stable function.
To achieve the above object, a display board in accordance with present invention is for assembling of at least one socket thereto. The socket includes a positioning hole including a large-diameter hole and a small-diameter hole which are continuous. The display board includes a main body. At least one side of the main body is formed with an assembling portion. The assembling portion includes at least one stepped engagement portion protrudedly formed on a surface of the main body. The stepped engagement portion includes a large-diameter engagement portion and a small-diameter portion. The large-diameter engagement portion includes a first lateral surface, and the small-diameter portion includes a second lateral surface. When the stepped engagement portion is inserted in the positioning hole, the first lateral surface corresponds to and is tightly engaged with inner wall of the large-diameter hole, and the second lateral surface corresponds to and is releasingly assembled within the small-diameter hole.
The present invention will be clearer from the following description when viewed together with the accompanying drawings, which show, for purpose of illustrations only, the preferred embodiment in accordance with the present invention.

The socket 10 includes a connecting end 11 and a working end 12. The connecting end 11 is for assembling with a driving tool and includes a positioning hole 13. The driving tool is such as a connecting member of a pneumatic tool or other tools which can connect with the connecting end 11. In the present embodiment, the socket 10 includes a socket body 14, a sleeve member 15 and a ball body 16. The socket body 14 is formed with an opening 17 at the assembling end 11. The ball body 16 is penetratedly disposed at the socket body 14 and protrusive out of a surface of the socket body 14. The sleeve member 15 is radially abutted in the opening 17 and radially outwardly abutted against the ball body 16. The sleeve member 15 is such as a C-shaped ring. The ball body 16 is for engagedly connecting with the driving tool sleeved on the socket 10 so that the driving tool is hard to fall off from the connecting end 11. The positioning hole 13 includes a large-diameter hole 131 and a small-diameter hole 132 which are continuous from outside to inside. Moreover, a portion of the opening 17 between an end of the positioning hole 13 and the sleeve member 15 defines the large-diameter hole 131, and the sleeve member 15 is formed with the small-diameter hole 132.
The main body 20 is formed with a hanging portion 30 at one end. At least one side of the main body 20 is formed with an assembling portion 40. The assembling portion 40 includes at least one stepped engagement portion 50 protrudedly formed on a surface of the main body 20. The stepped engagement portion 50 is for inserting in the positioning hole 13.
For example, the main body 20 is such as plastic. The main body 20 is formed via injection molding directly. Moreover, the stepped engagement portion 50 includes a large-diameter engagement portion 51 protrudedly formed on the surface of the main body 20 and a small-diameter portion 52 coaxially and protrudedly formed on the large-diameter engagement portion 51. Specifically, the large-diameter engagement portion 51 and the small-diameter portion 52 form a stepping shape therebetween. The large-diameter engagement portion 51 includes a first lateral surface 511 on an outer circumferential surface thereof, and the small-diameter portion 52 includes a second lateral surface 521 on an outer circumferential surface thereof. Wherein the first and second lateral surfaces 511, 521 can be respectively a circumferential surface, or the first and second lateral surfaces 511, 521 can be respectively a discontinuous and space-apart surface.

Preferably, the positioning hole 13 further includes an inner hole 133 communicated with the small-diameter hole 132. In the present embodiment, the stepped engagement portion 50 further includes an inner hole engagement portion 53 coaxially and protrudedly formed on the small-diameter portion 52. The inner hole engagement portion 53 includes a third lateral surface 531 on an outer circumferential surface thereof. When the stepped engagement portion 50 is inserted in the positioning hole 13, the third lateral surface 531 corresponds to and is tightly engaged with an inner wall of the inner hole 133. Moreover, the third lateral surface 531 and the inner wall of the inner hole 133 are tightly engaged with each other annularly. Nevertheless, the third lateral surface 531 and the inner wall of the inner hole 133 can be tightly engaged with each other partially. Preferably, the inner hole engagement portion 53 is tapered along an axial direction or the inner hole engagement portion 53 includes a chamfer at an end adjacent to outside. When the socket 10 is sleeved to the stepped engagement portion 50, the socket 10 is conveniently guided. It increases a stability for the socket 10 to engage to the stepped engagement portion 50 because the inner hole engagement portion 53 is engaged with the inner hole 133. Nevertheless, in other embodiments, the stepped engagement portion 50 can exclude the inner hole engagement portion 53. The socket 10 can engagedly disposed on the display board 1 via engaging with the large-diameter engagement portion 51.
In the present embodiment, the display board 1 further includes a shell member 60. The shell member 60 is pivoted to the main body 20 and swingable between a limiting position and an opening position. For example, the shell member 60 is pivoted to the main body 20 via two pivot ears, and the shell member 60 rotates around the main body 20 via two said pivot ears. The shell member 60 includes at least one blocking portion 61. When the shell member 60 is located at the limiting position, the at least one blocking portion 61 corresponds to the at least one stepped engagement portion 50 to limit the at least one socket 10 sleeved on the at least one stepped engagement portion 50 to remain between the at least one blocking portion 61 and the main body 20, and the socket 10 is protected. When the shell member 60 is located at the opening position, the at least one blocking portion 61 is away from the at least one stepped engagement portion 50 to allow the at least one socket 10 sleeved on the at least one stepped engagement portion 50 to disassemble from the at least one stepped engagement portion 50, and the socket 10 is taken out conveniently.
As a conclusion, the display board as described above includes the stepped engagement portion which is for the socket to engagedly sleeve thereon. It is convenient for the socket to store and display. The sleeve member assembled in the socket is undeparted from the socket when the socket and the stepped engagement portion are disassembled from each other. It is convenient and safe in using. The sleeve member is further positioned and works with a stable function.
While we have shown and described various embodiments 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.
