Abstract
A tray for a set of sockets of varying diameters includes an elongated, open-top, trapezoidal receptacle with upstanding end walls each having an opening therein in the shape of a 270.degree. sector of a circle, with the ends of each sector defining stop surfaces. A bail retainer has an elongated flat bight and depending end portions which respectively extend along the outside of the end walls, and each provided with an inwardly projecting rectangular tab which extends into the asociated opening to form a chord thereof. The retainer is pivotal between a retaining position wherein the bight closely overlies the receptacle to retain the sockets therein and a position alongside the receptacle permitting removal of the sockets from the receptacle, the pivotal movement being limited by the stop surfaces of the openings. An elongated flange depends from one side wall of the receptacle to facilitate hanging on an associated support, such as a tool chest.
