Abstract

A tool rack according to one embodiment generally includes a base for mounting the tool rack to a support surface. The base includes first and second spaced-apart ribs or flanges extending outwardly therefrom. The first rib has at least one aperture therein concentrically aligned with at least one aperture of the second rib. The tool rack also includes at least one arm. The arm includes a support rod having first and second spaced-apart end portions coaxially aligned with one other. The support rod's first and second end portions are respectively configured to be slidably positioned at least partially within the at least one aperture in the first rib and the at least one aperture in the second rib. Accordingly, the arm can be pivotally supported from the base such that the arm can swivel relative to the base.

Description

FIELD OF INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to racks having arms capable of swiveling and supporting tools therefrom. BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

[0002] The storage and organization of tools and other equipment is useful for allowing convenient retrieval of a tool when needed. Pegboard type hooks have been used to provide for storing and organizing tools linearly along a wall. But storing multiple tools in this manner can use up a considerable amount of wall space, which may not be available or sufficient for storing multiple tools. SUMMARY OF INVENTION

[0003] According to one aspect of the invention, a tool rack generally includes a base for mounting the tool rack to a support surface. The base includes first and second spaced-apart ribs or flanges extending outwardly therefrom. The first rib has at least one aperture therein concentrically aligned with at least one aperture of the second rib. The tool rack also includes at least one arm. The arm includes a support rod havi...
