Abstract (en)
ARTICLE HOLDER An organizer (10) particularly for a set of wrench sockets (12) has a series of socket receivers (28) arranged in ascending/descending size order. Each receiver (28) is of tubular form which is slit longitudinally to make it expandable and contractable. A resilient band (32) encircles the receiver (28) so that when a socket (12) of suitable size is inserted therein, the resilient band (32) provides a contracting force retaining the socket (12) in the receiver (28). Also, the receivers (28) have stops (36) to limit the amount of insertion of a socket (12) and the respective stops (36) are arranged at different heights related to the height of the respective sockets (12) so that each socket (12) projects from its respective receiver (28) to the same level above the top of the organizer (10). In one form of the invention, the stops are provided with respective ejector mechanisms for facilitating removal of the sockets.
