Abstract
Description
[0001] The present invention relates to a multifunctional hand tool, particularly for emergency responders in firefighting, disaster relief, and outdoor applications. Various tools are known in the prior art that cover individual functions described above. For example, axes, shovels, or hydrant wrenches exist as standalone tools. However, existing multifunctional tools usually combine only a few functions and are either too bulky or too fragile for harsh operating conditions. A compact and robust solution that combines several core functions for rescue and firefighting operations in a single tool is not yet known.
[0002] The invention aims to provide a multifunctional hand tool that combines several essential tool functions in a single compact device. The so-called "Firefighter's Recovery Axe 2.0" combines an axe, a saw, a pickaxe, a spade, a coupling wrench for Storz couplings, a hydrant wrench, and a 1 / 2-inch tool holder. The tool is made of special steel and has an ergonomic handle made of durable plastic.
[0003] The Recovery Axe 2.0 combines several tools to achieve significant weight and space savings. This means emergency responders have to carry less equipment. Its robust construction ensures a long service life, even under extreme conditions. The tool is compact, easy to handle, and versatile, making it particularly suitable for emergencies, rescue operations, and outdoor applications.
[0004] The figures show a preferred embodiment of the recovery axe 2.0. The tool has an ergonomically shaped plastic handle with a non-slip surface. The blade is made of special steel. The head has recesses that allow it to function as a clutch wrench, hydrant wrench, and tool holder. The saw blade holder is located on the underside. Fig. Figure 1 shows a side view of the Bergebeil 2.0 fire brigade. Fig. Figure 2 shows a perspective view. Fig. Figure 3 shows a front view. Fig. Figure 4 shows a top view of the handle.
