Holder and storage rack for wrench sockets

A holder and storage rack for wrench sockets, comprising:

• a base member,
• a plurality of stud members slidably mountable onto said base member, each of said stud members comprising a first side section having a front surface and a back surface, said back surface having a partial transverse bore going through said back surface,
• a top section, and
• a second side section having a front surface and a back surface, said second side section having a full transverse bore therethrough which is along the same plane as the bore of the first side section, said second side section bore having an opening larger at the back surface than the front surface thereof,
• said first side section, top section and second side section being contiguously and hingedly connected in series such that in use, said first side section, top section, and second side section are folded together to define one of said stud members wherein the stud member is of a shape having a substantially square cross-section where the back surfaces of the first and second side sections are in direct physical contact, and
• means for holding a socket in a detachable position over said stud member, said means comprising a ball seated within the bore of said second side section, and a coil seated within the bore of the first side section to bias the ball outwardly so as to protrude from the front surface of the second side section of said stud member, the opening of said bore being of sufficiently small diameter with respect to the diameter of the said ball to prevent escape of said ball through the said side section.
