Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a tool holder, and more particularly to a rotary movable tool holder in which the center of a sleeve can be positioned and the sleeve can be rotated to move the tool holder at intervals. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventional sleeve holders mainly include one rail base and multiple sleeve positioning bases, each of which is used to fit a sleeve onto the rail base and fix the sleeve to the rail base, and each of the sleeve positioning bases is usually slidable along the rail base so that a user can easily adjust the position of the sleeve relative to the rail base. Also, each of the sleeve positioning bases is usually rotatable relative to the rail base so that a user can easily visually identify the dimension number or number displayed on the outer surface of the sleeve, and the angle of the sleeve fitted onto the sleeve positioning base relative to the rail base can be adjusted.

[0003] However, in conventional sleeve holders, there was no fixing device between the rail base and the multiple sleeve positioning tables to quickly and easily move or rotate the sleeve, and there was a risk that each sleeve positioning table would move or rotate due to collision with an external force, making it impossible to perform stable positioning.As a result, the positioning effect of the conventional sleeve holders was undesirable and there was room for improvement.

The mounting groove 14 has two insertion grooves 144 located on both sides of the mounting groove 14 and below the lower rail plate 123 of the two side slide frames 12, and the positioning plate 15 has two insertion portions 153 located on both sides of the contact portion 151, and the two insertion portions 153 extend into the two insertion grooves 144. The middle portion of the bottom surface of the positioning plate 15 is further provided with a groove 154 that is recessed upward and extends vertically, thereby increasing the elastic deformation force of the positioning plate 15.

[0013] As shown in Figures 3 to 5, the sleeve positioning stand 20 comprises a main body 200 and a positioning column 250, the main body 200 may be made of a plastic material, the base 21 and a part of the socket portion 22 are formed on the main body 200, the positioning column 250 may be a cylindrical body and is connected to the main body 200 and protrudes from the bottom of the main body 200, the protruding part of the positioning column 250 from the main body 200 forms the positioning protrusion 25, the hardness of the positioning column 250 may be higher than that of the main body 200, the positioning column 250 may be a metal column and is connected to the bottom of the main body 200 by insert molding, overmolding or other methods.

[0014] Preferably, a connecting base 252 is provided at the center of the bottom of the main body 200, the positioning column 250 is embedded in the connecting base 252 and protrudes from the connecting base 252, at least one inner recess 212 is provided at the bottom of the main body 200, the at least one inner recess 212 is located between the connecting base 252 and the base 21, thereby reducing the contact area between the sleeve positioning base 20 and the positioning plate 15, a hole 222 is provided on the outer periphery of the connecting base 252, extending into the socket portion 22, thereby reducing the volume and weight of the sleeve positioning base 20, and at least one reinforcing rib 23 is provided on the outer periphery of the connecting base 252, thereby improving the structural strength of the main body 200.

[0015] As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, in the second preferred embodiment, the positioning protrusion 25A of the sleeve positioning stand 20A and the base 21 are an integrally molded member.

[0016] As shown in Figures 8 and 9, in a third preferred embodiment, the rail base 10A is an integrally molded long holder body, which may be made of metal, and the opposing sides of the positioning plate 15A are respectively connected to the lower rail plates 123A of the two side slide frames 12A, the upper surface of the positioning plate 15A is on the same plane as the upper surfaces of the lower rail plates 123A of the two side slide frames 12, and the stopper hole 152A penetrates the positioning plate 15A.

[0017] 1, 4, 7 and 9, the sleeve 50 is removably fitted onto the socket portion 22 of the sleeve positioning base 20, 20A, and the fitting button 225 of the socket portion 22 is fitted into a recess on the inner wall surface of the sleeve 50, so that the sleeve 50 is positioned in the socket portion 22 of the sleeve positioning base 20. When it is desired to adjust the position of the sleeve 50 relative to the rail base 10, the sleeve 50 is pushed and moved along the slide rails 122 of the two side slide frames 12, 12A, whereby the positioning protrusions 25, 25A of the sleeve positioning base 20, 20A are disengaged from the engaged stopper holes 152, 152A, and the sleeve 50 is moved to the next stopper hole 152, 152A and engaged therewith, thereby positioning the sleeve positioning base 20 and the sleeve 50 at a predetermined position.

[0018] In the case where the position of the dimensional markings on the sleeve 50 is not facing the user and the user cannot easily identify it, the user rotates the sleeve 50 clockwise or counterclockwise relative to the rail base 10, thereby rotating the sleeve 50 and the sleeve positioning base 20, 20A around the positioning protrusions 25, 25A relative to the rail base 10, so that the number or symbol on the outer surface of the sleeve 50 faces the user side. According to this configuration, since the positioning protrusions 25, 25A extend into one of the stopper holes 152, 152A of the positioning plates 15, 15A, the sleeve 50 and the sleeve positioning base 20 can be stably positioned when rotating the sleeve 50 and the sleeve positioning base 20, and they do not slide relative to each other.

Therefore, when the sleeve 50 rotates to a predetermined angle, the abutment portion 151 of the positioning plate 15 abuts upward against the base 21, thereby firmly fixing the base 21, thereby preventing the base 21 from easily rotating.

[0020] A plurality of sleeve positioning stands 20, 20A can be attached to the rail stands 10, 10A, and a plurality of sleeves 50 can be fitted onto the respective sleeve positioning stands 20, 20A.

[0021] In addition, in this embodiment, the positioning holes 152, 152A arranged in a linear manner and formed at intervals on the positioning plates 15, 15A are used in conjunction with the positioning protrusions 25, 25A protruding from the bottom of the sleeve positioning stand 20, 20A. In the process of the sleeve positioning stand 20, 20A moving along the slide rails 122 of the two side slide frames 12, 12A, the positioning protrusion 25, 25A is engaged with one of the positioning holes 152, 152A of the positioning plates 15, 15A, so that the sleeve positioning stand 20 can be moved in stages and stably positioned. Furthermore, the sleeve positioning stand 20 is freely rotatable relative to the rail stand 10 around the positioning protrusion 25, and does not slide. [Explanation of symbols]
