Tool housing and displaying support, in particular for numerically controlled machines

A support for housing and displaying tools, particularly tools for numerically controlled machines, said support being adapted to be mounted on a dolly together with other equal or similar supports, preferably in such a manner that the tool display plane can be suitably positioned, said support comprising:

• an elongated frame structure formed by a pair of spaced parallel longitudinal members and a pair of end cross members attached to said longitudinal members to define within said frame structure a recess, said longitudinal members having therein longitudinally spaced holes;
• a plurality of tool housing bushings adapted to be interchangeably positioned within said recess, each said bushing including an upper quadrilateral frame integral with a body having at least one tool housing seat, said bushing frames each having opposite sides having depending therefrom fixing means for cooperation with selected of said holes in said longitudinal members and for thereby fixing the positions of said bushing frames within said recess, the dimension of said bushing frames in directions parallel to said cross members being defined by the length of said cross members, and the dimensions of said bushing frames in a direction parallel to said longitudinal members and the spacings between adjacent said bushing frames being variable, whereby a desired plurality of differently sized and shaped said bushings may be selectively positioned within said recess;
• and
• locking means, adapted to be fixed to said longitudinal members, for locking said bushings within selected fixed positions thereof within said recess.
