BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a socket storage device.

Description of the Prior Art

A conventional storage device for hand tools includes a sliding rail and a receiving unit which is slidable on the sliding rail, and the receiving unit is configured to be assembled with a socket. The receiving unit includes a supporting column and an elastic piece which is elastically swingable relative to the supporting column, and the elastic piece has a projection protruding therefrom. The elastic piece provides an elastic force to bias the projection against the socket and restrict the socket. For detaching the socket from the receiving unit, the elastic piece is moved toward the supporting column so as to release the socket from the projection.

However, the elastic piece of the conventional storage device is easy to become fatigued in long-term use, which results in insufficient elastic force and poor restriction effect to the socket and the socket is easy to be departed from the receiving unit.

The present invention is, therefore, arisen to obviate or at least mitigate the above-mentioned disadvantages.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The main object of the present invention is to provide a socket storage device, including a socket holder which is configured for a socket to lock thereto or release therefrom by rotation of the socket holder and provides good restriction effect.

To achieve the above and other objects, the present invention provides a socket storage device, including: a base and a socket holder. The base has an assembling portion. The socket holder is disposed on the assembling portion and rotatable between a first position and a second position. The socket holder includes an insertion portion and a locking portion. The insertion portion is configured to be detachably connected with a socket. The insertion portion includes an engagement portion which is movable. The locking portion includes a blocking portion which is movable between a third position and a fourth position. When the socket holder is in the first position, the blocking portion is in the third position, the locking portion is biased against the engagement portion, and the engagement portion is unmovable relative to the insertion portion and configured to be abutted tightly against the socket; when the socket holder is in the second position, the blocking portion is in the fourth position, and the engagement portion is movable relative to the insertion portion and the socket is detachable from the insertion portion.

The present invention will become more obvious from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, which show, for purpose of illustrations only, the preferred embodiment(s) in accordance with the present invention.
