Abstract

A display pack having a rotatable security member includes a board and the rotatable security member wherein the board has a first hole and a second hole respectively defined therein and an inverted U-shaped frame extends perpendicularly from a front surface of the board with the second hole being located between two extending portions of the inverted U-shaped frame. The second hole has a toothed inner periphery and the rotatable security member includes a polygonal head and a shank which has a flange extending from a free end thereof and a toothed periphery defined in an outer periphery near the flange so that the rotatable security member is rotatably inserted into the second hole with the toothed inner periphery engaged with the toothed inner periphery. A ratchet tool is engaged with the rotatable security member and can be operated within a limited angle between the two extending portions of the frame.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is:  
     
       1. A display pack comprising: 
       a board having a first hole and a second hole respectively defined therethrough, said second hole having a toothed inner periphery, said board having an inverted U-shaped frame extending perpendicularly from a front surface thereof with said second hole being located between two extending portions of said frame, and  
       a rotatable security member including a polygonal head and a shank extending from one of two sides of said head, said shank having at least one flange extending radially from a free end thereof and a toothed periphery defined therein near said flange such that said rotatable security member is rotatably inserted into said second hole with said toothed periphery being engaged with said toothed inner periphery.  
     
     
       2. The display pack as claimed in claim  1  wherein said flange has a diameter slightly larger than that of said second hole so that said shank is force-fitted into said second hole with said flange being engaged with a rear surface of said board. 
     
     
       3. The display pack as claimed in claim  1  wherein a limit plate is connected between said two extending portions of said inverted U-shaped frame. 
     
     
       4. The display pack as claimed in claim  1  wherein at least two slits are defined longitudinally in said shank and open to said free end of said shank. 
     
     
       5. A display pack comprising: 
       
         a board having a hole defined therethrough, said hole having a toothed inner periphery, and  
       
       
         a rotatable security means including a polygonal head and a shank extending from one of two sides of said head, said shank having at least one flange extending radially from a free end thereof and a toothed periphery defined therein near said flange such that said rotatable security member is rotatably inserted into said hole with said toothed periphery being engaged with said toothed inner periphery. 
       
     
     
       6. The display pack as claimed in claim  5 , wherein said board has a frame formed on a front surface thereof, and said hole is enclosed by said frame. 
     
     
       7. The display pack as claimed in claim  6 , wherein the frame is of a inverted U- shape and extends perpendicularly from a front surface of the board, the inverted U - shaped frame including two extending portions between which the hole is located.   
     
     
       8. The display pack as claimed in claim  7 , further comprising a limit plate connected between the extending portions of the inverted U- shaped frame.   
     
     
       9. The display pack as claimed in claim  5 , wherein the board further comprises a second hole. 
     
     
       10. The display pack as claimed in claim  5 , wherein said flange has a diameter slightly larger than that of the hole so that said shank is force- fitted into said hole with said flange engaged with a rear surface of said board.   
     
     
       11. The display pack as claimed in claim  5 , wherein at least two slits are defined longitudinally in said shank and open to said free end of said shank. 
     
     
       12. A display pack for a tool comprising: 
       
         a board, and  
       
       
         means for operably engaging with a portion of the tool, with the operably engaging means being rotatably mounted to the board, whereby the tool is rotatable together with the operably engaging means relative to the board;  
       
       
         wherein the rotatably engaging means includes a hole defined in the board, said hole having a toothed inner periphery, and  
       
       
         a rotatable security means including a polygonal head and a shank extending from one of two sides of said head, said shank having at least one flange extending radially from a free end thereof and a toothed periphery defined therein near said flange such that said rotatable security means is rotatably inserted into said hole with said toothed periphery being engaged with said toothed inner periphery of the hole. 
       
     
     
       13. The display pack as claimed in claim  12 , wherein said board has a frame formed on a front surface thereof, and said hole is enclosed by said frame. 
     
     
       14. The display pack as claimed in claim  13 , wherein the frame is of an inverted U- shape and extends perpendicularly from a front surface of the board, the inverted U - shaped frame including two extending portions between which the hole is located.   
     
     
       15. The display pack as claimed in claim  14 , further comprising a limit plate connected between the extending portions of the inverted U- shaped frame.   
     
     
       16. The display pack as claimed in claim  12 , wherein the board further comprises a second hole. 
     
     
       17. The display pack as claimed in claim  12 , wherein said flange has a diameter slightly larger than that of the hole so that said shank is force- fitted into said hole with said flange engaged with a rear surface of said board.   
     
     
       18. The display pack as claimed in claim  12 , wherein at least two slits are defined longitudinally in said shank and open to said free end of said shank.
