DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

(5) The present invention will be clearer from the following description when viewed together with the accompanying drawings, which show, for purpose of illustrations only, the preferred embodiment in accordance with the present invention.

(6) Please refer to FIGS. 1 to 5 for a preferred embodiment of the present invention. A tool holder 1 is provided for at least one connection rod 9 to be assembled thereto, each said connection rod 9 has a body portion 91 and a tubular portion 92 connected to an end of the body portion 91, the tubular portion 92 is greater than the body portion 91 in radial dimension, a stepped portion 93 is formed between the tubular portion 92 and the body portion 91, and the tool holder 1 includes a main body 2 and a positioning member 3. In this embodiment, there are three connection rods 9, and the body portions 91 of the connection rods 9 have different lengths.

(7) The main body 2 includes a hanging portion 21, an assembling portion 22 and an abutting portion 23. The assembling portion 22 includes at least one engaging block 221 which protrudes toward the abutting portion 23 for one said tubular portion 92 to be engaged therewith, and the abutting portion 23 is for radially abutting against the body portion 91 of each said connection rod 9.

(8) The positioning member 3 is assembled to the main body 2, a side of the positioning member 3 facing the abutting portion 23 is for radially abutting the body portion 91 of each said connection rod 9, and an end of the positioning member 3 facing the assembling portion 22 is for abutting against the stepped portion 93 of each said connection rod 9. The tubular portion 92 of each said connection rod 9 is engaged with one said engaging block 221, and the stepped portion 93 of each said connection rod 9 is abutted by the end of the positioning member 3 facing the assembling portion 22, so the tubular portion 92 of each said connection rod 9 cannot be disengaged with one said engaging block 221, and each said connection rod 9 cannot be disengaged with the main body 2.

(9) Preferably, the positioning member 3 is screwed to the main body 2 to prevent the positioning member 3 from being pulled out and prevent the connection rods 9 from being taken away. In other embodiments, the positioning member may be fastened to or engaged with the main body. It is to be noted that in this embodiment, two ends of the positioning member are screwed to the main body 2; and in other embodiments, an end of the positioning member may be pivoted to the main body 2, and the other end may be detachably assembled to the main body 2 so that each said connection rod 9 cannot be disengaged with the main body 2.

(10) In addition, in this embodiment, the abutting portion 23 further includes at least one first recess 231 for the body portion 91 of one said connection rod 9 to be received therein, and the positioning member 3 includes at least one second recess 31 which faces the at least one first recess 231 and is for the body portion 91 of one said connection rod 9 to be received therein. In this embodiment, the first recesses 231 correspond to the connection rods 9 in number, and the abutting portion 23 has at least two said first recesses 231 which are arranged spacingly in parallel and correspond to each other. The body portion 91 of each said connection rod 9 is arranged between the second recess 31 and the two first recesses 231 so that each said connection rod 9 can be assembled to the main body 2 stably. Preferably, in this embodiment, the positioning member 3 is disposed between the at least one engaging block 221 and the abutting portion 23, and as viewed in a direction from the at least one engaging block 221 toward the abutting portion 23, the positioning member 3 and the abutting portion 23 are shiftedly arranged so as to prevent each said connection rod 9 from shaking.

(11) Specifically, the main body 2 may further include a receiving space 24 for the connection rods 9 to be received therein. In this embodiment, the receiving space 24 is rectangular, the engaging blocks 221 protrude into the receiving space 24, the abutting portion 23 is arranged traversely in the receiving space 24, and a side of the positioning member 3 facing the receiving space 24 is a waved structure 32. Preferably, the main body 2 may further include a plurality of hollow-out portions 25, and the hollow-out portions 25 are arranged around the receiving space 24. With the hollow-out portions 25, the weight of the main body 2 can be reduced, and the manufacturing cost of the main body 2 is lower.

(12) Given the above, the tubular portion of each said connection rod is engaged with one said engaging block, and the stepped portion of each said connection rod is abutted by the end of the positioning member facing the assembling portion; therefore, the tubular portion of each said connection rod cannot be disengaged with one said engaging block, and each said connection rod cannot be disengaged with the main body. Thus, the tool holder is anti-theft.

(13) While we have shown and described various embodiments in accordance with the present invention, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that further embodiments may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
