What is claimed is: 1. A vertical rack storage device comprising: (a) a hollow upright pivot shaft having two ends, a top end and a bottom end; (b) the hollow upright pivot shaft end capped on the top end and the bottom end; and (c) a plurality of connectors adapted to pivotally connect at least on
What is claimed is: 1. A vertical rack storage device comprising: (a) a hollow upright pivot shaft having two ends, a top end and a bottom end; (b) the hollow upright pivot shaft end capped on the top end and the bottom end; and (c) a plurality of connectors adapted to pivotally connect at least one tool rack to the hollow upright pivot shaft, each connector comprising a coupling ring pivotally connected to the hollow upright pivot shaft, a flat arm for carrying one said tool rack, a neck radially extended from the periphery of the coupling ring and terminating at one end of the flat arm, a first ridged portion transversely provided at one end of the flat arm and connected to said neck, and a second ridged portion transversely provided at an opposite end of said flat arm and defining with said first ridged portion and said flat arm a space for accommodating one tool rack, wherein each said connector further comprises a first locating rib and a second locating rib respectively provided at said first ridged portion and said second ridged portion; each said tool rack comprises a plurality of locating grooves respectively provided at two opposite peripheral walls thereof for receiving the first locating rib and the second locating rib of each said connector. 2. The vertical tool rack storage device of claim 1 wherein each said tool rack comprises a plurality of positioning grooves provided at a bottom wall thereof; each said connector comprises a protruding positioning portion provided at the flat arm thereof for engaging a positioning groove of each said tool rack. 3. The vertical tool rack storage device of claim 1 further comprising a coupling structure for coupling two of said tool racks together, and providing for the two coupled tool racks to be positioned relative to each other between an open position and a closed position. 4. The vertical tool rack storage device of claim 3 wherein said coupling structure comprises a first recessed portion and a second recessed portion respectively provided at the border of one side of each said tool rack, a retaining block disposed in said first recessed portion, and a swinging retaining ring extending from said second recessed portion in such a manner that the swinging retaining ring at one tool rack can be connected on the retaining block in the first recessed portion at another tool rack. 5. The vertical tool rack storage device of claim 3 further comprising a locking structure for locking said tool racks that have been fastened together in the closed position. 6. The vertical tool rack storage device of claim 3 including a locking structure having a male locking member and a female locking member respectively provided at two opposite sides of each said tool rack for enabling said vertical tool racks to be locked in the closed position by fastening the male locking member of one tool rack to the female locking member of the other tool rack. 7. The vertical tool rack storage device of claim 6 wherein said male locking member is a retaining block, and said female locking member is a swinging ring. 8. The vertical tool rack storage device of claim 1 wherein each said tool rack has a top wall and a bottom wall, and wherein the tool rack has a recessed area in the bottom wall thereof, a plurality of protruding portions spaced from one another in said recessed area, and a plurality of finger grooves formed in said recessed area and separated from one another by said protruding portions. 9. The vertical tool rack storage device of claim 1 wherein each said tool rack has a top wall and a bottom wall and wherein at least one recessed locating hole and at least one raised locating portion are arranged in the top wall in such manner to enable a plurality of tool racks to be attached together by engaging at least one raised locating portion of one tool rack into a recessed locating hole on the other tool rack. 10. The vertical tool rack storage device of claim 1 wherein each said tool rack has a top wall and a bottom wall and has at least one hanging hole formed in the bottom wall for hanging. 11. A vertical rack storage device comprising: (a) a hollow upright pivot shaft having two ends, a top end and a bottom end; (b) the hollow upright pivot shaft end capped on the top end and the bottom end; and (c) a plurality of connectors adapted to pivotally connect at least one tool rack to the hollow upright pivot shaft, each connector comprising a coupling ring pivotally connected to the hollow upright pivot shaft, a flat arm for carrying one said tool rack, a neck radially extended from the periphery of the coupling ring and terminating at one end of the flat arm, a first ridged portion transversely provided at one end of the flat arm and connected to said neck, and a second ridged portion transversely provided at an opposite end of said flat arm and defining with said first ridged portion and said flat arm a space for accommodating one tool rack, wherein the coupling ring of each said connector comprises a plurality of spring strips aligned having a fixed end formed integrally with the peripheral wall of said hollow upright pivot shaft and a second end provided with a raised portion for selectively engaging one of the locating grooves of the coupling ring of each said connector. 12. The vertical tool rack storage device of claim 11 wherein the coupling ring of each said connector further comprises a rib spaced between two of said spring strips for engaging one locating groove in the coupling ring of one said connector to position the respective connector from rotating about said hollow upright pivot shaft. 13. A vertical tool rack storage device comprising: (a) a hollow upright pivot shaft having two ends, a top end and a bottom end; (b) the hollow upright pivot shaft end capped on the top end and bottom end; (c) a plurality of tool racks, each said tool rack comprising a plurality of compartments for holding tool bits and parts, two locating grooves provided at two opposite peripheral walls thereof, and a positioning groove provided at a bottom wall thereof; and (d) a plurality of connectors adapted to pivotally connect said tool racks to said hollow upright pivot shaft, each said connector comprising a coupling ring pivotally connectable to said hollow upright pivot shaft, a flat arm for carrying said tool rack, a neck radially extended from the periphery of said coupling ring and terminating at one end of said flat arm, a first ridged portion transversely provided at one end of said flat arm and connected to said neck, a second ridged portion transversely provided at an opposite end of said flat arm and defining with said first ridged portion and said flat arm a space for accommodating one tool rack, two ribs respectively provided at said first ridged portion and said second ridged portion and adapted to engage the locating grooves of the tool rack placed on said flat arm, and a protruding positioning groove of the tool rack placed on said flat arm. 14. The vertical tool rack storage device of claim 13 wherein the coupling ring of each said connector comprises a plurality of locating grooves spaced at equal angles around an inside wall thereof and extending in axial direction; said hollow upright pivot shaft comprises a plurality of spring strips aligned whereby each said spring strip having a fixed end integrally formed with the peripheral wall of said hollow upright pivot shaft and a second end having a raised portion for selectively engaging one of the locating grooves of each said connector.
