The conventional display unit generally includes a first plate for being hanged on a display board or a wall. The first plate has a first connection portion. A second plate has a second connection portion which is connected to the first connection. The first plate further has a rotary portion. A cover is connected to the second connection portion so as to form a room therebetween. The hand tool is inserted into the room and connected to the rotary portion such that the customers can rotate the handle extending from the display unit to try and operate the ratchet means of the hand tool. Nevertheless, the conventional display unit is complicated and required a lot of time to assemble.
U.S. Pat. No. 7,565,973 discloses a suspension tag for socket wrench, wherein the filling cap includes a projection extending from an inside surface of the top panel of the receiving frame section thereof, and the projection is located corresponding to the spring-biased locking sphere of a driving piece of a hand tool so as to restrict the hand tool from being separated from the fitting cap. However, the projection cannot be changed because it is integral with the fitting cap. Besides, the manufacturing for integrally formed the projection with the fitting cap is difficult.
The present invention intends to provide a display unit that includes a restriction member that is replaceable and is easily assembled from outside of the security member so as to eliminate the shortcomings mentioned above.
The present invention relates to a display unit comprises a plate and a ring, wherein the ring has a through hole which includes a flange extending radially and inward from the inner periphery thereof. Multiple teeth are formed along the inner periphery of the flange.
A security member includes having the first end thereof engaged with the through hole, and a second end of the security member extends beyond the through hole. Two first extension extend radially from the periphery of the second end of the security member. Two second extensions extend radially from outside of the security member and are located at an axial distance from the first extensions. A gap is formed axially between the two first extensions and the two second extensions. The two first extensions are located between the two second extensions. The flange is rotatably located in the gap between the two first extensions and the two second extensions. The security member is pivotable relative to the through hole. An insertion hole is defined in the second end of the security member. An opening is defined through one of sidewalls of the insertion hole. The security member has a slit defined in the end face of the first end and the outside surface of the security member. A ridge extends from the outside of the security member and is located between the two first extensions and two second extensions. The ridge is removably engaged with the teeth of the flange when the security member is rotatable relative to the flange.
A restriction member is formed by bending a wire into an L-shaped restriction member. An engaging portion extends from one of two ends of the restriction member. The restriction member is engaged with the slit from the outside of the first end of the security member and is in flush with the outside of the security member. The engaging portion extends through the opening and is located in the insertion hole. The engaging portion is inserted into a gap between a bead of a hand tool and a reception hole for receiving the bead of the hand tool.
Preferably, a slot is defined axially through the security member so as to form a first part and a second part. At least one bridge is connected between the first part and the second part. The first part and the second part are clamp the hand tool.
Preferably, the slit is not defined through the wall of the security member and the restriction member is engaged with the slit and in flush with the outside surface of the security member.
The primary object of the present invention is to provide a display unit wherein the engaging portion of the restriction member is inserted into the gap between the bead and the reception hole for receiving the bead of the hand tool, so that when the hand tool is pulled away from the display unit, the pulling direction deeply pushes the engaging portion into the gap to prevent the hand tool from being separated from the display unit.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a display unit wherein the position of the restriction member relative to the display unit allows the assemblers to easily assemble the display unit regardless of the sizes of the assemblers' fingers.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a display unit wherein the restriction member is easily assembled to the slit of the security member from outside of the first end of the security member. The restriction member is easily made and the shape and position of the engaging portion can be varied according to needs. The restriction member is replaceable.
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
A security member 2 includes a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the security member 2 is engaged with the through hole 121, and the second end of the security member 2 extends beyond the through hole 121. Two first extension 25 extend radially from the periphery of the second end of the security member 2, and two second extensions 26 extend radially from outside of the security member 2 and located at an axial distance from the first extensions 25. The two first extensions 25 are located between the two second extensions 26, Therefore, a gap is formed axially between the two first extensions 25 and two second extensions 26. The flange 122 is rotatably located in the gap between the two first extensions 25 and the two second extensions 26. The security member 2 is pivotable relative to the through hole 121. An insertion hole 21 is defined in the second end of the security member 2, and an opening 22 is defined through one of sidewalls of the insertion hole 21. The security member 2 further includes a slit 41 defined in the end face of the first end of the security member 2 and the outside surface of the security member 2 as shown in
A restriction member 3 is formed by bending a wire into an L-shaped restriction member 3. An engaging portion 31 extends from one of two ends of the restriction member 3. The restriction member 3 is engaged with the slit 41 from in the end face of the first end of the security member 2 and is in flush with the outside surface of the security member 2. The engaging portion 31 extends through the opening 22 and is located in the insertion hole 21. The engaging portion 31 is inserted into a gap between a bead 40 of a hand tool 10 and a reception hole 30 for receiving the bead 40 of the hand tool 10.
As shown in
Furthermore, the restriction member 3 is easily assembled to the slit 41 of the security member 2 from outside of the first end of the security member 2. It is noted that the slit 41 is not defined through the wall of the security member 2 and the restriction member 3 is engaged with the slit 41 and in flush with the end face of the first rend of the security member 2 and the outside surface of the security member 2. The restriction member 3 is easily made, and the shape and position of the engaging portion 31 can be varied according to needs. The restriction member 3 is replaceable.
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.
