In a preferred embodiment, the first locking parts 114 are recesses.

[0019] With further reference to FIGS. 4 and 5, the positioning ribs 12 are respectively formed on and protrude from the top edge of the bracket 10. Each positioning rib 12 has a side surface and a positioning recess 120 formed in the side surface of the positioning rib 12. The hanging panel 13 is connected to the top edge of the bracket 10, is foldable relative to the bracket 10 and has an upper section, a bottom edge, a hanging hole 131 and two positioning openings 132. The hanging hole 131 is formed through the upper section of the hanging panel 13 to allow the display box to be hung on a display rack. The positioning openings 132 are respectively formed through the bottom edge of the hanging panel 13 to permit the positioning ribs 12 to be received therethrough. Each positioning opening 132 has an opening surface and a boss 133 protruding from the opening surface. When the display box is hung, the positioning ribs 12 are received in the positioning openings 132 of the hanging panel 13 and the bosses 133 of the hanging panel 13 engage the positioning recesses 120 of the positioning ribs 12. With reference to FIG. 6, when the hanging panel 13 is folded relative to the bracket 10 and is adjacent to the rear surface of the bracket 10, the positioning ribs 12 depart from the positioning openings 132 of the hanging panel 13 so that an area of the display box is reduced and to store or carry the display box is convenient.

[0020] With reference to FIGS. 1 to 3, The storing mount 20 are connected pivotally to the bracket 10 and each storing mount 20 covers a corresponding mounting recess 11 of the bracket 10 and has a top panel 21, a front panel 22, two second locking parts 220, a clamping part 23 and an abutting panel 24. The top panel 21 has a bottom surface, a moving edge and a pivoting edge mounted pivotally to the top edge of the recess rear surface 110 of the corresponding mounting recess 11. The front panel 22 is formed on and protrudes vertically downward from the moving edge of the top panel 21, faces the recess rear surface 110 of the corresponding mounting recess 11 and has two opposite side surfaces and a rear surface. The second locking parts 220 are formed on the side surfaces of the front panel 22 and engage the first locking parts 114 of the corresponding mounting recess 11. In the preferred embodiment, the second locking parts 220 are protrusions.

[0021] The clamping part 23 is mounted securely on the rear surface of the front panel 22 and is used for holding a hand tool 40.
