Embodiment Construction

[0049] 1 shows a multifunctional tool kit 10 constructed in accordance with the principles of the present invention. The tool kit 10 includes a pocket-sized, foldable multifunctional tool, or "multitool" 12 , a full set of adapters 14 and a carrying case 16 . The multi-tool 12 and the full set of adapters 14 are housed in a box 16, as shown in FIG. 2 .

[0050] like image 3 As shown in the elevational top view, the multi-tool 12 has a first handle 20 and a second handle 22 . The first handle 20 has a first proximal end 24 having a proximal axis of rotation 26 and a second distal end 28 having a distal axis of rotation 30 . The first handle 20 can also optionally have a ratchet mechanism 32, a ratchet control knob 34 and an additional rotating shaft 36, which will be described in detail below. The longitudinal axis of the first handle 20 is configured substantially parallel to the line through which the distal rotational axis 30 and the proximal rotational axis 26 pass. Simi...

Abstract

A multiple function tool (12) having first and second handles (20, 22), a tool head (64) with pivotal jaw members (66, 68), and a plurality of additional tools. The tool head (64) is stored within first channels on first sides (54, 56) of the handles, and the additional tools are stored within second channels (60, 62) on second sides of the handles opposite the first sides. Thus the additional tools do not interfere with gripping of the handles (20, 22). Moreover these tools are easily accessible while the tool head (64) is in the storage position. The compound tool (12) may also include a ratchet (32) and an adapter (152) and coupler that fit on the ratchet. A straight edge ruler (430, 432) may optionally be provided on the top and bottom surfaces of the handles. Preferably, an individual spring (440) is provided for each tool to prevent pivoting away from the storage channels once the tool is extended. A lock mechanism (450) may be provided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a multifunctional combination tool. More specifically, the present invention relates to a combination tool having a tool head and jaw members that can be folded into a channel in the handle, and other tools can be rotated from the other channels of the handle to the optimal use position of the selected tool . Background technique [0002] It can be known from this technology that the multifunctional combination tool has a foldable handle and at least one jaw tool, which can be folded in the handle. Typically, pliers or other tools having rotating jaws have a rotating shaft and a tang extending from the rotating shaft in the opposite direction from the jaws. The tang turns the joint handle. Combination tools of previous designs have jaws that rotate about a tang, or about an axis that is either parallel to the axis of rotation of the jaws, or perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the jaws. In addition, the jaws of previou...
