1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a tool suspension device which is easy to be assembled with other ones.
2. Description of the Prior Art
A conventional tool suspension device, as disclosed in patents TW M454911, TW M435978, and TW 1409150, usually includes a board-shaped seat which is formed with a suspension hole or other suspension means on the top thereof. The seat is also formed with polygonal protrusions, hooks, or other tool positioning means.
However, when plural tool suspension devices have to be displayed at the same time, the object for suspension must have plural holes or hooks for the tool suspension devices to hang on so as to be inconvenient. Besides, plural tool suspension devices are difficult to restored and may be easily lost.
The main object of the present invention is to provide tool suspension device having engagement mechanism to be engaged with other tool suspension devices.
To achieve the above and other objects, the tool suspension device of the present invention includes a main body having a front face, a rear face, and a plurality of lateral faces. The main body has a suspension portion. The main body has at least one tool receiving portion on the front face for receiving tools. The main body further has at least one male engaging portion and at least one female engaging portion. The male engaging portion and the female engaging portion has shapes corresponding to each other. The male engaging portion is adapted for being engaged with a female engaging portion of another tool suspension device. The female engaging portion is adapted for being engaged with a male engaging portion of another tool suspension device. Thereby, the tool suspension device is able to be engaged with other same ones for multiple uses.
The present invention will become more obvious from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, which show, for purpose of illustrations only, the preferred embodiment(s) in accordance with the present invention.
Please refer to
Practically, the tool suspension device can be used, sold, or displayed alone. Also, plural of tool suspension devices can be assembled as an integrate piece for displaying. For example, if plural tool suspension devices receiving plural kinds of tool have to be displayed but there is only one hook for hanging them, one can assemble the tool suspension devices first, and then hang them with the suspension portion of one of the tool suspension devices. Thus, the tool suspension devices can be displayed at the same time. On the other hand, plural tool suspension devices assembled are easier to be restored or transported.
In the major embodiment of the present invention, the suspension portion is located at the top of the main body, and the male engaging portion and the female engaging portion are located at the left side and the right side of the main body and are arranged vertically. Thereby, when plural tool suspension devices are assembled one by one, better vertical support can be provided due to the engagement between the male engaging portion and the female engaging portion. Thus, the tool suspension devices may not be disassembled by gravity. As a result, only the suspension portion of one of the tool suspension devices has to be hung for positioning.
In other possible embodiments, the female engaging portion (or the male engaging portion) can be adapted for the male engaging portions (or female engaging portions) of plural tool suspension devices to engage with at the same time. Thus, the present invention can be assembled in kinds of manner.
