  • Publication number: 20090266956
    Abstract: A holder is disclosed to hold a socket onto a hanger. The holder includes a socket-engaging device, a locking device and a hanger-engaging device. The socket-engaging device includes a V-shaped body and a block. The V-shaped body includes a first branch and a second branch elastically movable towards the first branch so that the V-shaped body can be inserted into the socket. The block is formed on the second branch for abutment against the socket when the V-shaped body is disposed in the socket. The locking device includes a groove defined in the first branch of the V-shaped body and a tab extended from the second branch of the V-shaped body. The tab can be inserted into the groove so that the elastic V-shaped body is expanded, and the block is firmly located against the socket. The hanger-engaging device includes a dovetail groove for receiving a dovetail formed on the hanger.

  • Patent number: 6223899
    Abstract: A tool box assembly having lighting and warning functions, including a tool box body having a receiving recess in a central portion of one lateral end thereof, an integrated circuit control device retained in the receiving recess, and a transparent light converging lens fittingly abutting against the receiving recess. The receiving recess has a stepped rim, which is provided with a plurality of retaining posts projecting therefrom and lying in a horizontal state for retaining the light converging lens. A periphery of the light converging lens is provided with a plurality of retaining notches for receiving the retaining posts of the tool box body. Three generally slanting abutting grooves of three different sizes are arranged by order of size between each two retaining notches. The smallest abutting grooves just abut against the retaining posts of the tool box body when the light converging lens is rotated so that the light converging lens is firmly positioning in the receiving recess of the tool box.
