BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention

[0002] The present invention relates to a suspension assembly, and more particularly to a socket suspension assembly.

[0003] 2. Description of Related Art

[0004] A conventional socket suspension assembly in accordance with the prior art usually comprises a suspension rack and multiple socket slidably mounted on the suspension rack by dove-tail structure. As a result, the socket rack only can be linearly moved relative to the suspension rack. Consequently, to detach the socket from the suspension rack is an inconvenient operation when the sockets are arranged on the suspension rack side by side. In addition, some sockets have standards close to one another such that the user may take a socket having the standard that is wrong.

[0005] Furthermore, the socket is attached to the socket rack due to a friction force between the socket and the socket rack. Consequently, the connection between the socket and the socket rack may be weakened and extremely, the socket may be detached from the socket rack when the socket rack is worn out.

[0006] The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the disadvantages of the conventional socket suspension assembly.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0007] The main objective of the present invention is to provide an improved socket suspension assembly for user to easily and correctly take the socket from the present invention.

[0008] To achieve the objective, the socket suspension assembly in accordance with the present invention comprises a suspension rack and at least one socket rack slidably and rotatably mounted to the suspension rack. The suspension rack includes a post-like structure and has at least one groove longitudinally defined in an outer periphery of the suspension rack. The socket rack includes a loop rotatably and slidably sleeved on the suspension rack and a stub radially extending from an outer periphery of the loop. The stub is adapted to be connected to a socket.

[0009] Further benefits and advantages of the present invention will become apparent after a careful reading of the detailed description with appropriate reference to the accompanying drawings.
