Claims16
A socket holding system comprising:
- a plurality of interlocking socket holders, each of said holders having a base and a cylinder having an open end and a closed end, each of said cylinders being sized to receive sockets of differing diameters, each of said cylinders having a magnet positioned at the closed end of the cylinder, the magnet exerting enough force to hold a socket within each of said cylinders, each of said bases of said holders having means for interlocking with another of said bases mounted on opposing sides of each said base to form longitudinally interlocked bases, and each of said bases of said holders further having means for securing said base to a substrate.
A socket holding system comprising:
- a plurality of interlocking socket holders, each of said socket holders being of differing sizes to receive sockets of differing diameters, each of said holders having a base and means for holding sockets mounted thereon, each of said bases of said holders having a dovetail and a mating groove combination, the dovetail being positioned on one side of the base, the dovetail extending laterally outward from the base and being equal in height to the base, the groove being positioned on the side of said base opposite said dovetail, each of said bases of said holders further having means for securing said base to a substrate.
A socket holding system comprising:
- a plurality of interlocking socket holders, each of said holders having a base and means for holding sockets mounted thereon, wherein each of said bases of said holders is permanently joined to form a strip, the strip including threaded holes extending therein, the socket holding means comprising cylinders having an open end and a closed end, the cylinders further having a threaded portion extending downwardly from the closed end, the threaded portions mating with the threaded holes in the strip, each of said bases of said holders further having means for securing said base to a substrate.
