ABSTRACT:

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
(a) Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a sample and tool displaying board, wherein a sample or tools of different sizes can be adjustably mounted on the displaying board.
(b) Description of the Prior Art
FIG. 8
shows a conventional displaying board comprising a board body
2
mounted with a suspension hole
20
, an indication area
21
and a display area
22
, wherein the indication area
21
is adapted for placing a sample data description label, and within the display area
22
, a plurality of pores
23
are provided for a mounting strap
3
. The strap
3
is a rope-like member has one end being provided with an insertion hole
30
, and a plurality of engaging teeth
31
are provided within the insertion hole
30
. The other end of the mounting strap
3
is provided with a plurality of protruded teeth
32
.
When a sample
1
is to be mounted on the displaying board, the mounting strap
3
surrounds the external surface of the sample
1
and the two ends of the mounting strap
3
pass through the pores
23
adjacent to the board body
2
. Then, one end of the mounting strap
3
having the protruded teeth
30
goes into the insertion hole
30
and then pull the mounting strap
3
at both ends thereof until the sample
1
is firmly secured to the board body
2
. The protruded teeth
32
are in engagement with the engaging teeth
31
with the protruded teeth
30
.
In view of the above, the conventional displaying board has drawbacks as follows when in use:
1) Re-use of mounting strap is not possible
After the sample
1
is secured by the mounting strap
3
, the strap cannot be untied and re-used. Thus, if the sample
1
is to be replaced, the mounting strap
3
has to be cut and a new mounting strap
3
has to be used. Thus, cost is involved in replacing the mounting strap
3
.
2) Inconvenient to replace the sample.
The only way to replace the sample
1
is to cut off the mounting strap
3
. As a result, only those samples which are not to be taken down are displayed, and the displaying board is not convenient to display sample
1
which needs to be replaced often.
Another type of conventional displaying board to overcome the above drawbacks has been designed. As shown in
FIG. 9
, the displaying device comprises a board body
4
having a plurality of hanging hooks
5
, wherein a plurality of shallow grooves
40
are provided on the board body
4
and a plurality of apertures
41
are provided within the grooves
40
. The hanging hook
5
can be inserted into the apertures
41
at one end and the other end of the hanging hook
5
is protruded out of the board body
4
.
Thus, the sample
1
or tool
10
can be placed on the hanging hook
5
. However, this conventional displaying board has the following drawbacks:
1) Only a handful of suspension tool or sample can be displayed.
If sample
1
or tool
10
does not have a hole at one end thereof, the sample
1
or the tool
10
cannot be inserted into the hanging hook
5
. Thus, these sample
1
and tool
10
cannot be displayed on this conventional display board.
2) Displayed samples may easily drop off from the board. As the displayed sample
1
or tool
10
is not firmly secured to the board body
4
, the hanged sample may be dropped off if it is accidentally touched.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a sample and tool displaying board, which can overcome the above drawbacks.
One aspect of the present invention is to provide a sample and tool displaying board comprising (a) a board body having a plurality of engaging slots thereon;(b) a plurality of fastening clips, having a top clipping member and a pair of engaging posts having a spherical body at the top end thereof, and being mounted at the bottom thereof, and said fastening clips being mounted onto said board body; (c) a securing strap being formed between two fastening clips and being secured by the clipping member, and said engaging posts being mounted within said engaging slots, thereby a sample or a tool is secured onto the displaying board by said securing strap.
