[0018] Before the accompanying drawings, which illustrate exemplary embodiments in detail, it should be understood that this application is not limited to the details or methods set forth in the specification or shown in the drawings. It should also be understood that the terminology is for descriptive purposes only and should not be considered limiting.
[0019] Referring generally to the accompanying drawings, they illustrate and describe a camping equipment kit that includes utensils that can be used for eating, additional tools including curved sections (such as pry bars, nail pullers, etc.) and serrated hooks, and connectors that optionally attach the additional tools to the utensils. When the additional tools are attached to the utensils, the curved sections of the additional tools provide at least two auxiliary functions. First, the curved sections can lift the food portion of the utensils above the surface where the camping equipment kit is placed when not in active use. Second, when the camping equipment kit is not in active use, the curved sections can engage the side of a pot or cup to serve as a support or holder for suspending the utensils on the pot or cup.
[0020] like Figure 1As shown, the camping equipment kit 10 includes utensils 14 for eating or handling food, additional tools 18 that can be used for auxiliary functions (such as cutting, opening, etc.), and a connector 22 that optionally connects the utensils 14 and the additional tools 18 together. Figure 2 As shown, connector 22 extends through appliance 14 and attachment tool 18 and engages attachment tool 18 with appliance 14.
[0021] Utensil 14 includes a food portion 26 in the form of a spoon 30 with fork tines 34 and a handle 38, the handle including a gripping element in the form of a recess 40 and a rounded shape to allow for a more comfortable grip. In other embodiments, the food portion 26 may include a sharp edge, a knife, a spatula, etc., or the spoon 30 and / or fork tines 34 may be omitted. Other gripping elements are conceivable, such as textured surfaces or other recessed / protruding shapes. In other embodiments, the curvature of the handle 38 may define different radii or different shapes (e.g., more elliptical) as needed.
[0022] like Figure 3 As shown, a handle connection component is provided in the form of a handle hole 42 and two handle tabs 46. The handle hole 42 is generally rectangular in outline, and the two handle flanges or handle tabs 46 extend substantially perpendicularly from the handle 38 adjacent to the handle hole 42. In the illustrated embodiment, the handle tabs 46 are cut from the same piece of material forming the handle 38 and bent for positioning. In other embodiments, the handle tabs 46 may be formed in different ways (e.g., welded in situ, adhered, snapped, etc.). In other embodiments, the handle tabs 46 may extend from the handle 38 at an angle.
[0023] like Figure 4 As shown, the auxiliary tool 18 includes a body 47; a bent portion 48 including a pry bar 50, a flathead screwdriver 54, and nail pullers 58; and a bottle opener 62. The auxiliary tool 18 also includes a can opener 66 and a gut hook or serrated opener 70 grounded into the auxiliary tool 18 for opening or cutting common food packaging. In the illustrated embodiment, the bent portion 48 is at an angle 72 of approximately 140 degrees (see figure 72) relative to the body 47. Figure 7 In other embodiments, the angle 72 relative to the body 47 can be between approximately thirty degrees (130º) and approximately fifty degrees (150º). Additional tools 18 may also include other tools as needed. For example, they may include a blade, a hexagonal wrench opening, a socket wrench opening, a file, or other tools. Furthermore, additional tools may be omitted. Figure 4 Some of the tools shown are illustrated. The tool connection component, in the form of a tool hole 74, includes two tool recesses 78 sized to accommodate a shank 46 of tool 14. The tool hole 74 is generally rectangular, from which the tool recesses 78 extend.
[0024] like Figure 5 As shown, connector 22 includes a top cover 82 spaced from a shank shoulder 86 by a shank gap 90, a tool bulb 94 spaced from a shank shoulder 86 by a tool gap 98, and a blade shoulder 102 spaced from the top cover 82 by a blade gap 106. Connector 22 also includes a hole or recess 110 positioned to increase the flexibility of the tool bulb 94. In some embodiments, connector 22 is formed of rubber or other materials with sufficient flexibility to allow insertion and removal from the shank hole 42 and the tool hole 74 while maintaining sufficient rigidity to maintain engagement of the tool 14 with the attachment tool 18 during use.
[0025] like Figure 6 As shown, connector 22 engages with device 14 by positioning shank 38 within shank gap 90 between top cap 82 and shank shoulder 86. Top cap 82 and shank shoulder 86 are shaped to conform to the curvature of shank 14 and engage shank hole 42 with friction. Additional tool 18 can be attached to or removed from assembled device 14 and connector 22 by pushing tool ball 94 through tool hole 74 in a direction perpendicular to shank 38. Recess 110 provides additional flexibility to allow tool ball 94 to compress through tool hole and then expand again to maintain engagement of additional tool 18 with device 14. The smooth shape of tool ball 94 biases additional tool 22 toward device 14 and into tool gap 98, such that additional tool 22 remains in tight engagement with device 14. In some embodiments, additional tool 22 maintains physical contact with shank 38 of device 14 in the engaged state. To remove the attachment tool 22, the user pulls the attachment tool 22 off the tool 14, causing the tool ball 94 to retract or squeeze through the tool hole 74 and release the attachment tool 22.
[0026] like Figure 7 As shown, the shoulder portion 102 of connector 22 is sized to engage with and remain engaged with the shank 46 of shank 38. In the figure, the tool recess 78 of attachment tool 22 engages with the shank 46 of tool 14 to prevent rotation of attachment tool 18 relative to tool 14 through rigid contact. The direct contact between shank 46 and tool recess 78 also prevents lateral (e.g., from front to back, from side to side) movement of attachment tool 18 relative to tool 14.
[0027] Both the utensil 14 and the additional tool 18 are constructed to be used individually for a specific purpose (e.g., eating, opening food, prying nails, etc.). Figure 8As shown, the camping kit 10 provides an auxiliary function when the additional tools 18 and utensils 14 are assembled. The angled bend of the curved portion 48 can engage the top or edge of a container in the form of a can or cup 114 and prevent the camping kit 10 from falling into the can or cup 114 or from causing food to stick to the handle 38.
[0028] like Figure 9 As shown, when the add-on tool 18 and the equipment 14 are assembled, the camping equipment kit 10 provides another auxiliary function. The angle of inclination of the curved portion 48 can rest against the surface 118 and prevent the food portion 26 of the equipment 14 from contacting the surface 118. Other auxiliary functions of the assembled camping equipment kit 10 are conceivable and can be provided through the cooperation of the add-on tool 18 and the equipment 14.
[0029] While the detailed drawings and specific embodiments provided depict various exemplary implementations of camping equipment kits, they are for illustrative purposes only. It should be understood that the application of the invention is not limited to the construction details and component structures set forth in the foregoing description or shown in the drawings. Furthermore, other substitutions, modifications, alterations, and omissions may be made to the design, operating conditions, and structure of the exemplary embodiments without departing from the scope of the invention.
