Claim 1
Independent Claim
200 words
A tool suspension rack adapted to receive at least one tool socket and comprising: a suspension frame adapted to receive the at least one tool socket thereon and having: a recess defined in the suspension frame; a track formed laterally on an inner wall of the recess; at least one socket connector corresponding to the at least one tool socket and mounting and sliding on the track, wherein the at least one socket connector has the through hole defined therein and detachably connecting with the at least one tool socket; and a fixing strip secured on the suspension frame and having: multiple first insertions formed from the fixing strip, wherein each first insertion has a resilient hook formed on a distal end thereof and connects with the suspension frame by inserting the resilient hook into the through hole of the at least one socket connector; and multiple second insertions formed from the fixing strip, wherein each second insertion is shorter than the first insertion and formed on the fixing strip in an alternating manner with the first insertion; wherein the second insertions fix and insert into the correspondingly at least one tool socket when the tool suspension rack is combined.
