1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a magnetic positioning frame, and more particularly to a magnetic positioning frame for socket bits that can be mounted on a sidewall of a tool cabinet conveniently.
2. Description of the Prior Art
A conventional positioning frame for socket bits has a track disc and multiple positioning blocks. The track disc has a front surface and multiple racks. The racks are formed in the front surface of the track disc at intervals. The positioning blocks are slidably mounted in the racks of the track disc. The user can store and display the socket bits by mounting the socket bits around the positioning blocks.
However, though the conventional positioning frame for socket bits can position the socket bits, the conventional positioning frame cannot be mounted on a sidewall of a tool cabinet, needs a large space for storage, and this is inconvenient in use.
To overcome the shortcomings, the present invention provides a magnetic positioning frame for socket bits to mitigate the aforementioned problems.
The main objective of the present invention is to provide a magnetic positioning frame for socket bits that can be mounted on a sidewall of a tool cabinet conveniently.
The magnetic positioning frame for socket bits in accordance with the present invention has a track disc, a supporting device and a magnetic device. The track disc has a baseboard, multiple positioning racks, multiple positioning blocks, at least one mounting rack and multiple holding racks. The supporting device is detachably connected to the track disc and has multiple fixing boards and two supporting mounts. The magnetic device is connected to the track disc and has at least two attracting modules, and each attracting module has a locating board, an outer casing, a magnet block and a fastener. The locating board is movably mounted in the at least one mounting rack. The outer casing abuts the at least one mounting rack and has a through hole and a mounting recess. The magnet block is mounted in the mounting recess and has a holding hole. The fastener extends through the through hole and is connected to the connecting hole.
Other objects, advantages and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
With reference to

The baseboard 11 may be rectangular in shape and has a top surface, a bottom surface, a length, and two opposite sides including a first side and a second side. The positioning racks 12 are formed on and protrude from the top surface of the baseboard 11 at intervals, and each positioning rack 12 has a length equal to the length of the baseboard 11. The positioning blocks 13 are mounted slidably in the positioning racks 12 of the track disc 10 to hold socket bits on the track disc 10. The at least one mounting rack 14 is formed on and protrudes from the bottom surface of the baseboard 11. The holding racks 15 are formed on and protrude from the bottom surface of the baseboard 11 and beside the at least one mounting rack 14.
With reference to
The first supporting mount 22 is made by aluminum extrusion, is connected to the bottom surface and the first side of the baseboard 11 and has a top, a bottom, an outer side, multiple through holes 221, multiple screw bolts 222, an extending tab 223 and a side panel 224. The through holes 221 are formed through the bottom and the top of the first supporting mount 22 at intervals and respectively align with the fixing holes 211 of the fixing boards 21 that are mounted on the first side of the baseboard 11. The screw bolts 222 are respectively mounted through the through holes 221 of the first supporting mount 22 and are respectively and securely mounted in the fixing holes 211 of the fixing boards 21 via the holding racks 15 to connect the first supporting mount 22 securely to the fixing boards 21 at the first side of the baseboard 11 and to connect the first supporting mount 22 securely to the bottom surface of the baseboard 11.
The extending tab 223 is formed on and transversally protrudes from the outer side of the first supporting mount 22 at the top of the first supporting mount 22, abuts the bottom surface of the baseboard 11 and has an outer side. The side panel 224 is formed on and upwardly protrudes from the outer side of the extending tab 223 to close the positioning racks 12 and the holding racks 15 at the first side of the baseboard 11 to prevent the positioning blocks 13 from separating from the first side of the baseboard 11.
The second supporting mount 23 is made by aluminum extrusion and is connected to the bottom surface and the second side of the baseboard 11. The second supporting mount 23 has a top, a bottom, an outer side, multiple through holes 231, multiple screw bolts 232, an extending tab 233 and a side panel 234. The through holes 231 are formed through the top and the bottom of the second supporting mount 23 at intervals and respectively align with the fixing holes 211 of the fixing boards 21 that are mounted on the second side of the baseboard 11. The screw bolts 232 are respectively mounted through the through holes 231 of the second supporting mount 23 and are respectively and securely mounted in the fixing holes 211 of the fixing boards 21 via the holding racks 15 to connect the second supporting mount 23 securely with the fixing boards 21 at the second side of the baseboard 11 and to connect the second supporting mount 23 securely to the bottom surface of the baseboard 11.
The extending tab 233 is formed on and transversally protrudes from the outer side of the second supporting mount 23, is formed at the top of the second supporting mount 23, abuts the bottom surface of the baseboard 11 and has an outer side. The side panel 234 is formed on and upwardly protrudes from the outer side of the extending tab 233 to close the positioning racks 12 and the holding racks 15 at the second side of the baseboard 11 to prevent the positioning blocks 13 from separating from the second side of the baseboard 11. Accordingly, the supporting mounts 22, 23 are respectively connected to the opposite sides of the baseboard 11 to reinforce the structural strength of the track disc 10.
The magnetic device 30 is connected to the track disc 10 and has at least two attracting modules, and each one of the attracting modules has a locating board 31, an outer casing 32, a magnet block 33 and a fastener 34. The locating board 31 may be quadrate, is movably mounted in the at least one mounting rack 14 adjacent to one of the supporting mounts 22, 23, and has a connecting hole 311 formed through the locating board 31.
The outer casing 32 abuts the at least mounting rack 14 below the baseboard 11 and has a closed bottom, an open top, a through hole 321 and a mounting recess 322. The closed bottom of the outer casing 32 abuts the at least one mounting rack 14. The through hole 321 is formed through the closed bottom of the outer casing 32 and aligns with the connecting hole 311 of the locating board 31 via the at least one mounting rack 14. The mounting recess 322 is formed in the outer casing 32 between the closed bottom and the open top of the outer casing 32, communicates with the through hole 321 and the open top of the outer casing 32 and has a depth.
The magnet block 33 is mounted in the mounting recess 322 of the outer casing 32 and has a thickness, a top surface and a holding hole 331. The thickness of the magnet block 33 is thinner than the depth of the mounting recess 322. Accordingly, the top surface of the magnet block 33 is mounted in the mounting recess 322 and does not extend out of the open top of the outer casing 32. The holding hole 331 is formed through the magnet block 33 and aligns with the through hole 321 of the outer casing 32 and the connecting hole 311 of the locating board 31.
The fastener 34 is mounted in the holding hole 331 of the magnet block 33, extends through the through hole 321 of the outer casing 32 and is connected to the connecting hole 311 of the locating board 31 via the at least one mounting rack 14 to hold the magnet block 33 and the outer casing 32 securely with the locating board 31 to connect the attracting module to the at least one mounting rack 14 below the baseboard 11.
In use, the user can store socket bits by mounting the socket bits around the positioning blocks 13 of the track disc 10. After mounting and storing the socket bits with the track disc 10, the user can mount the magnetic positioning frame on a sidewall 51 of a tool cabinet 50 conveniently by the magnetic forces of the magnet blocks 33 attracted to the sidewall 51 of the tool cabinet 50. Then, the socket bits can be mounted and displayed on the sidewall 51 of the tool cabinet 50 with the magnetic positioning frame. Accordingly, no space in the tool cabinet 50 is needed for storing the magnetic positioning frame.
