Embodiment Construction

[0017]Referring to FIGS. 1 to 4, a hex key holder 1 in accordance with a first preferred embodiment of the invention is shown and comprises the following components.

[0018]A larger block 10 comprises a plurality of penetrating channels 11 of circular section for retaining hex keys 60 of larger sizes, a flat front surface 12, and a curved arm 13 extending forwardly from one side of the front surface 12.

[0019]A smaller block 20 comprises a plurality of penetrating channels 21 of circular section for retaining hex keys 61 of smaller sizes, a flat rear surface 22 proximate the front surface 12, and a curved front surface (not numbered) shaped to be proximate the arm 13. Thus, the smaller block 20 is disposed between the front surface 12 and the arm 13.

[0020]A pivot mechanism 30 is provided to pivotably secure the smaller block 20 between the front surface 12 and the arm 13 as shown in FIG. 4. For example, a person can remove the largest one of the hex keys 60 first, the second largest on...

Abstract

A hex key holder in one embodiment includes a larger block including a plurality of penetrating channels of circular section for retaining a plurality of first hex keys, and a curved arm extending forwardly from one side of the larger block, a smaller block including a plurality of penetrating channels of circular section for retaining a plurality of second hex keys smaller than the first hex keys, and a pivot for pivotably securing the smaller block between the larger block and the arm. The invention can facilitate access to the second hex keys by tilting the smaller block.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of Invention[0002]The invention relates to wrench holders and more particularly to a hex key holder including a larger block and a smaller block pivotably secured thereto so as to facilitate access to hex keys in the smaller block by tilting the smaller block.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]There have been numerous suggestions in prior patents for wrench holder. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,816,401 discloses a hex key holder for display of hex keys at a point of sale and subsequently store the tool set. Further, the hex key holder is constructed to prevent unauthorized removal of hex keys therefrom.[0005]Still, there is a type of hex key holder having two parallel abutted blocks commercially available. The holder is designed to provide more space for storage of hex keys. However, it is difficult of accessing hex key(s) in the rear block since the rear block, fixedly secured to the front block, is blocked by the front block. Hence, a...
