Abstract

Abstract A suspension display rack for hand tools has a rail and multiple sliding blocks. The rail has a back-strip and two hooks. The hooks are formed on the back strip and each hook has a longitudinal groove. Each sliding block has a base, two cylindrical slides and a seat. The cylindrical slides are respectively received in the grooves so that the hand tools can be hung on the sliding blocks to transversely slide along the rail.

Claim 1
Independent Claim 297 words
A suspension display rack for tools comprising: a rail having a back-strip being longitudinal and flat and having an inner surface, a top edge, a bottom edge and two opposite ends; two hooks being longitudinal, being formed on and perpendicularly protruding from the inner surface respectively at the top and bottom edges of the back strip and each hook having a longitudinal groove defined in the hook and having a curved inner surface, and the curved inner surface having an arcuate outline; and two securing members defined respectively at opposite ends of the back-strip; multiple sliding blocks mounted slidably in the rail and each sliding block having a base being substantially V-shaped and having a thickness; and two supporting plates separated from the inner surface of the back strip at an interval, connected to each other with an included angle being obtuse and each supporting plate having a distal end; two cylindrical slides formed respectively on the distal ends of the supporting plates of the base, slidably mounted respectively in the longitudinal grooves of the hooks and each cylindrical slide having a diameter being larger than the thickness of each supporting plate; and a circular cross section corresponding to the arcuate outline of the curved inner surface of the longitudinal groove of one hook; and a seat being a plate, formed on and protruding forwards from the base and having a proximal end, a distal end and a top surface; a barrel formed on and protruding upwards from a center of the seat, being at a distance from the proximal end and being at a distance from the distal end of the seat; and a finger formed on and protruding downwards from the distal end of the seat and having an identification label formed on the finger.
