Das multifunktionelle Handgerät 100 gemaß Figur 1 und 2 für verschiedene Werkzeugfunktionen besteht aus einem plattenförmigen Körper 101, beispielsweise aus einem hochfesten Metall, wie Titan oder Edelstahl. Der plattenförmige Körper 101 weist in der Draufsicht gemäß Figur 1 eine etwa froschförmige Gestalt mit Kopfteil 105 und Beinen 106, 107 auf, wobei zwischen den Beinen ein Freiraum durch eine mehr als halbkreisgroße Einbuchtung oder Ausnehmung 110 ausgebildet ist. Der Kopfteil 105 wird durch den Halsteil 108 von den Beinen abgeteilt, wobei der Halsteil durch etwa einander gegenüberliegende Einbuchtungen 4, 15 verschiedener Größe gebildet ist. Zumindest eine der Seiten, nämlich die Oberseite 103 oder die Unterseite 102 des plattenförmigen Körpers sind bevorzugt eben ausgebildet, die schmale umlaufende Umfangsseite 104 begrenzt den Körper seitlich. Die meisten der an dem Handgerät 100 ausgebildeten Werkzeuge sind an der schmalen Umfangsseite 104 ausgebildet, bevorzugt integriert mit dem plattenförmigen Körper, entweder über den Umfang vorstehend angeformt oder durch Einbuchtungen am plattenförmigen Körper. Der etwa halbrunde bis ovale oder dreieckförmige Kopfteil 105 weist von der Umfangsseite 104 vorstehende, und zwar in der Plattenebene vorstehende Werkzeuge in Gestalt eines Inbusschlüssels 1, beispielsweise für 4 mm, eines Kreuzschraubenziehers 3 (Größe 2) und eines Schlitzschraubenziehers 16 auf. Der Übergang vom Kopfteil 105 zu den Beinen 106, 107 ist halsförmig 108 verengt durch zwei an den Umfangsseiten einander gegenüberliegende Einbuchtungen, die als Werkzeuge in Gestalt eines Maulschlüssels 15, beispielsweise mit 10 mm Öffnung und eines Maulschlüssels 4 mit 8 mm Öffnung ausgebildet sind. Zusätzlich kann im Bereich eines der Maulschlüssel, hier des Maulschlüssels 4, noch eine Nagelklaue 21 in die Umfangsseite eingeformt sein. Im Bereich des Kopfteiles 105 kann auf der Oberseite 103 eine vorstehende Buchse 2a, ausgebildet als Hohlsteckschlüssel 2 als Heizkörperentlüftungsschlüssel mit 5 mm Durchmesser ausgebildet sein. Koaxial hierzu kann die Ausnehmung des Hohlsteckschlüssels durchgehend durch den plattenförmigen Körper 101 ausgebildet sein und auf der Gegenseite vergrößert als Ringschlüssel 17 mit einem Durchmesser von 6 mm ausgebildet sein.The multifunctional hand-held device 100 according to FIGS. 1 and 2 for various tool functions consists of a plate-shaped body 101, for example made of a high-strength metal such as titanium or stainless steel. In the plan view according to FIG. 1, the plate-shaped body 101 has an approximately frog-shaped shape with a head part 105 and legs 106, 107, a space being formed between the legs by means of an indentation or recess 110 which is more than half the size of a circle. The head part 105 is separated from the legs by the neck part 108, the neck part being formed by approximately opposite indentations 4, 15 of different sizes. At least one of the sides, namely the upper side 103 or the lower side 102 of the plate-shaped body, is preferably flat, the narrow circumferential side 104 delimits the body laterally. Most of the tools formed on the handheld device 100 are formed on the narrow circumferential side 104, preferably integrated with the plate-shaped body, either integrally formed above the circumference or by indentations on the plate-shaped body. The approximately semicircular to oval or triangular head part 105 has protruding from the peripheral side 104, namely in the Tools protruding from the plate level in the form of an Allen key 1, for example for 4 mm, a Phillips screwdriver 3 (size 2) and a flat-blade screwdriver 16. The transition from the head part 105 to the legs 106, 107 is neck-shaped 108 narrowed by two indentations on the circumferential sides, which are designed as tools in the form of a spanner 15, for example with a 10 mm opening and a spanner 4 with an 8 mm opening. In addition, a nail claw 21 can also be molded into the circumferential side in the area of one of the combination wrenches, here the combination wrench 4. In the area of the head part 105, a protruding socket 2a, designed as a hollow socket wrench 2, can be formed as a radiator ventilation key with a 5 mm diameter on the upper side 103. Coaxially with this, the recess of the hollow socket wrench can be formed continuously through the plate-shaped body 101 and can be enlarged on the opposite side as a ring wrench 17 with a diameter of 6 mm.

Im Bereich der Außenseiten der Beine 106, 107 können die Umfangsseiten bereichsweise beispielsweise als Holzfeile 5 mit entsprechenden Riefen und als Nagelfeile 14 mit entsprechender Riffelung ausgebildet sein. Durch eine entsprechende leicht gewölbte Form der Beine kommen diese Feilflächen gut im praktischen Gebrauch zum Einsatz.In the area of the outer sides of the legs 106, 107, the peripheral sides can be designed in regions, for example, as a wooden file 5 with corresponding grooves and as a nail file 14 with corresponding corrugation. With a corresponding slightly curved shape of the legs, these filing surfaces can be used in practical use.

An den Enden der Beine 106, 107 können entsprechende Werkzeuge, wie ein Kreuzschraubenzieher 6 oder ein Schlitzschraubenzieher 12 ausgebildet sein. Im Bereich des Schlitzschraubenziehers können angrenzend die Umfangsseiten als Kanten ausgebildet sein, beispielsweise als Kante 11 für einen Fingernagelreiniger und gegenüberliegend als stumpfe Kante 13 als Öffner für Briefe, Pakete oder dergleichen. Alle am äußeren Umfang des Körpers 101 angeformten Werkzeuge dürfen keine scharfen Kanten aufweisen, um Verletzungen beim Handhaben zu vermeiden. Im Bereich der kreisförmigen Ausnehmung 110 zwischen den Beinen 106, 107 können vorstehende Kanten 10 zur Benutzung als Kabelmesser ausgebildet sein. Hierbei sind diese Kanten 10 mit einer geringeren Dicke als die, die der Dicke des Körpers 101 entspricht, ausgebildet, so daß gleichzeitig eine Anlagefläche für eine in die kreisförmige Öffnung einzulegende Scheibe 19, siehe Figur 2 und 3, vorhanden ist. Im Scheitelbereich der kreisförmigen Ausnehmung zwischen den Beinen 106, 107 ist an der Umfangsseite eine vorstehende Lasche 9, ebenfalls mit geringerer Dicke als der Wanddicke des Körpers 101 entspricht, ausgebildet. Diese Lasche 9 dient als Flaschenöffner und gleichzeitig auch als Anlagefläche für die Scheibe 19. Zusätzlich können Schneidwerkzeuge entlang der Umfangsseite des plattenförmigen Körpers im Bereich der kreisförmigen Ausnehmung 110 ausgebildet sein, beispielsweise eine Schneidkante 8 als kleines Messer zum Durchschneiden von Fäden oder als Nagelklaue 7.Appropriate tools, such as a Phillips screwdriver 6 or a flat-blade screwdriver 12, can be formed at the ends of the legs 106, 107. In the area of the flat-blade screwdriver, the peripheral sides can be formed as edges, for example as an edge 11 for a fingernail cleaner and opposite as a blunt edge 13 as an opener for letters, parcels or the like. All tools molded onto the outer circumference of the body 101 must not have any sharp edges in order to avoid injuries when handling. In the region of the circular recess 110 between the legs 106, 107, projecting edges 10 can be used as Cable knife be formed. Here, these edges 10 are formed with a smaller thickness than that which corresponds to the thickness of the body 101, so that at the same time there is a contact surface for a disk 19 to be inserted into the circular opening, see FIGS. 2 and 3. In the apex region of the circular recess between the legs 106, 107, a protruding tab 9 is formed on the circumferential side, likewise with a smaller thickness than the wall thickness of the body 101. This tab 9 serves as a bottle opener and at the same time also as a contact surface for the disk 19. In addition, cutting tools can be formed along the circumferential side of the plate-shaped body in the region of the circular recess 110, for example a cutting edge 8 as a small knife for cutting threads or as a nail claw 7.

Die Scheibe 19 kann beispielsweise eine Pfandmarke sein oder ein Geldstück oder auch eine Scheibe mit eingebauter Lupe 18. Der Durchmesser der kreisförmigen Ausnehmung kann beispielsweise etwa 23,5 mm betragen, so daß eine Scheibe 19, die nur geringfügig größer ist, zwischen den Beinen 106, 107 festklemmend eingelegt werden kann. Die Scheibe 19 ist dann, wie in der Figur 2 gezeigt nach einer Seite wieder aus der kreisförmigen Öffnung und dem Körper 101 entfernbar.The disk 19 can, for example, be a deposit or a coin or a disk with a built-in magnifying glass 18. The diameter of the circular recess can be, for example, approximately 23.5 mm, so that a disk 19, which is only slightly larger, between the legs 106 , 107 can be inserted clamping. The disk 19 can then, as shown in FIG. 2, be removed from one side out of the circular opening and the body 101.

Darüber hinaus ist es möglich, auf der Ober- und Unterseite des Handgerätes 100 Informationen anzubringen, ebenso auf dem Rand der Scheibe 19. Beispielsweise kann diese auf der Vor- und Rückseite mit ja bzw. nein beschriftet sein, um als Entscheidungshilfe mit Losverfahren benutzt zu werden.In addition, it is possible to provide information on the top and bottom of the handheld device 100, as well as on the edge of the disk 19. For example, this can be labeled with yes or no on the front and back so that it can be used as a decision-making aid by lottery will.

Die Gesamtlänge 1 des multifunktionellen Handgerätes gemäß Figur 1 und 2, gemessen zwischen den Enden der Beine und dem am Kopfteil vorstehenden Inbusschlüssel 1, kann klein gehalten werden, insbesondere bei 6 bis 9 cm. Die Gesamtbreite des Handgerätes, gemessen zwischen den Außenseiten der Beine 106, 107, kann bei 3 bis 5 cm gehalten sein, die Dicke d des plattenförmigen Körpers kann 4 bis 5 mm betragen, so daß insgesamt ein sehr kleines Handgerät und jederzeit mit sich tragbares Handgerät für den täglichen Bedarf herstellbar ist.The total length 1 of the multifunctional hand-held device according to FIGS. 1 and 2, measured between the ends of the legs and the Allen key 1 protruding from the head part, can be kept small, in particular at 6 to 9 cm. The total width of the hand-held device, measured between the outer sides of the legs 106, 107, can be kept at 3 to 5 cm, the thickness d of the plate-shaped body can be 4 to 5 mm, so that overall, a very small handheld device that can be produced with a handheld device for everyday use at any time.

Das in Fig. 1 und 2 dargestellte Handgerät kann auch mit weniger Werkzeugen ausgebildet sein bzw. auch in einer weiteren Ausgestaltung mit neuen Werkzeugen.The hand-held device shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 can also be designed with fewer tools or in a further embodiment with new tools.

In der Fig. 4 ist in der Draufsicht eine weitere Variante des multifunktionellen Handgerätes dargestellt. Auch hier ist die Grundform des Handgerätes 100 in einer froschförmigen Gestalt mit Kopfteil 101, Halsteil 108 gebildet durch zwei einander gegenüberliegende je einen Maulschlüssel 4, 15 unterschiedlicher Größe bildende Einbuchtungen und mit zwei sich hieran anschließenden leicht nach außen geschwungenen Beinen 106, 107, die zwischen sich einen Freiraum 110 einschließen. Die Enden der beiden Beine 106, 107 sind leicht nach außen gewinkelt. Der Kopfteil 105 ist gut abgerundet und weist entlang seiner Umfangsseite 104 mit ausreichendem Abstand voneinander Werkzeuge in Gestalt eines Innensechskantschlüssels 1 und zweier Kreuzschraubenzieher 3, 6 unterschiedlicher Größe auf. Im mittleren Bereich des Kopfteiles 105 ist wiederum auf der Plattenunterseite eine Ausnehmung 17 als Sechskantringschlüssel ausgebildet, die, wie in Fig. 2 ersichtlich, auf der Gegenseite in einer vorstehenden Buchse 2a, die als Heizkörperentlüftungsschlüssel dient, mündet. An der Innenseite der beiden Beine 106, 107 ist im mittleren bogenförmig ausgebildeten Umfangsbereich ein vorstehender Lappen 9 ausgebildet, der als Flaschenöffner dient. In diesem Lappen kann zusätzlich eine Einbuchtung 7 vorgesehen sein, die als Nagelklaue benutzbar ist. Entlang der Innenseite oder Außenseite der Beine 106, 107 können stumpfe Kanten 13, 23, 8a ausgebildet sein, die als Paketöffner oder Brieföffner dienen können. Sofern diese Kante 8a sich an der Innenseite eines Beines erstreckt, kann sie auch mit einer etwas schärferen Kante als Messer ausgebildet sein, so daß hier Fäden durchschnitten werden können, da das Handgerät 100 nur an der Außenseite der Beine von einer Hand erfaßt wird. Im Übergangsbereich von einer Messerkannte 8a an der Innenseite eines Beines 107 zu den Enden der Beine kann eine stumpfe Ecke 24, die beispielsweise als Dosenöffner für Milchdosen oder dergleichen dienen kann, ausgebildet sein. An den Enden der Beine 106, 107 sind bevorzugt Schlitzschraubenziener 12, 16 in kleineren und größeren Abmessungen ausgebildet. Bei entsprechender Parallelführung der Innenseite der Beine 106, 107 in Teilbereichen ist es möglich, wie durch die gestrichelten Linien im Abstand 25 angedeutet, eine Öffnung nach Art eines Maulschlüssels mit einer von den Maulschlüsseln 4, 15 abweichenden, insbesondere größeren Öffnung zu schaffen. Durch eine entsprechende Zuordnung der Innenseite der Beine 106, 107 im mittleren Bereich, wie durch die Bezugsziffer 26 angedeutet, kann ein Perlatorschlüssel gebildet sein, wie er für Wasserkräne benutzbar ist, wobei die im Bereich der Messerkante 8a durch Verjüngung entstandene Umfangsseite miteinbezogen ist.4 shows a further variant of the multifunctional hand-held device in a top view. Here too, the basic shape of the hand-held device 100 is in a frog-shaped configuration with a head part 101, neck part 108 formed by two mutually opposite indentations each forming an open-end wrench 4, 15 of different sizes and with two adjoining slightly curved legs 106, 107 between them enclose a free space 110. The ends of the two legs 106, 107 are angled slightly outwards. The head part 105 is well rounded and has tools along its circumferential side 104 at a sufficient distance from one another in the form of an Allen key 1 and two Phillips screwdrivers 3, 6 of different sizes. In the central region of the head part 105, a recess 17 is again formed as a hexagon ring key on the underside of the plate, which, as can be seen in FIG. 2, opens into a protruding socket 2a on the opposite side, which serves as a radiator ventilation key. On the inside of the two legs 106, 107, a projecting tab 9 is formed in the central arcuate peripheral region, which serves as a bottle opener. An indentation 7 can also be provided in this tab, which can be used as a nail claw. Blunt edges 13, 23, 8a can be formed along the inside or outside of the legs 106, 107, which can serve as a package opener or letter opener. If this edge 8a extends on the inside of a leg, it can also be designed with a somewhat sharper edge as a knife, so that threads can be cut here, since the hand-held device 100 is gripped by one hand only on the outside of the legs. In the transition area from a knife edge 8a on the inside A blunt corner 24, which can serve, for example, as a can opener for milk cans or the like, can be formed from a leg 107 to the ends of the legs. Slotted screw drivers 12, 16 are preferably formed in smaller and larger dimensions at the ends of the legs 106, 107. With a corresponding parallel guidance of the inside of the legs 106, 107 in partial areas, it is possible, as indicated by the dashed lines at a distance 25, to create an opening in the manner of a spanner with an opening that differs from the spanners 4, 15, in particular a larger opening. By a corresponding assignment of the inside of the legs 106, 107 in the middle area, as indicated by the reference number 26, a aerator key can be formed, such as can be used for water cranes, the circumferential side resulting from the tapering in the area of the knife edge 8a being included.

Auch das multifunktionelle Handgerät 100 nach Fig. 4 zeigt, wie entlang, vorzugsweise der Umfangsseiten, des froschförmigen Körpers entsprechende Werkzeuge ausgebildet sein können, die es dem Benutzer ermöglichen, mit nur einem Gerät die unterschiedlichsten Arbeiten auszuführen. Hierbei sind scharfe Kanten durch die Anordnung an den Innenseite der Beine geschützt untergebracht, so daß Verletzungen bei der Handhabung des Gerätes vermieden werden. Der plattenförmige Körper 101 weist so viel Masse auf, daß die angeformten Werkzeuge stabil und fest sind und ein Verbiegen des Körpers oder der Werkzeuge bei deren Einsatz vermieden wird. Gleichzeitig ist der plattenförmige Körper 101 durch Einbuchtungen so geformt, daß er relativ leicht und gut handhabbar und in der Tasche mitführbar ist.The multifunctional hand-held device 100 according to FIG. 4 also shows how appropriate tools can be formed along, preferably on the peripheral sides, of the frog-shaped body, which allow the user to carry out the most varied of work with only one device. Here, sharp edges are protected by the arrangement on the inside of the legs, so that injuries when handling the device are avoided. The plate-shaped body 101 has so much mass that the molded tools are stable and firm and bending of the body or the tools is avoided when they are used. At the same time, the plate-shaped body 101 is shaped by indentations in such a way that it is relatively light and easy to handle and can be carried in the pocket.

In den Figuren 5 bis 12 ist ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel eines erfindungsgemäßen multifunktionellen Handgerätes 100 in mehreren Ansichten dargestellt. Fig. 5 zeigt das Handgerät 100 in der Draufsicht auf die Oberseite 103 des plattenförmigen Körpers in Originalgröße. Fig. 7 zeigt die Unteransicht des Handgerätes 100 und Fig. 6 zeigt den Querschnitt AB gemäß Fig. 5. Der plattenförmige Körper 101, der eine annähernd ovale Form aufweist, ist durch zwei einander gegenüberliegende Einbuchtungen, die zwei Maulschlüssel 4, 15 unterschiedlicher Größe bilden, in einen Kopfteil 105 und Halsteil 108 strukturiert. Auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite des Kopfteiles ist der plattenförmige Körper 101 durch eine große Einbuchtung 110, die eine Größe zur Ausbildung als Flaschenöffner aufweist, so geformt, daß zwei einander gegenüberliegende Beine 106, 107 gebildet sind und an der gegenüber dem Kopfteil 105 liegenden Seite die Einbuchtung 110 sich befindet. Die Enden der Beine 106, 107 sind leicht nach außen abgewinkelt und als Schlitzschraubenzieher 12 bzw. 16a unterschiedlicher Größe ausgebildet. Am Außenumfang 104 des abgerundeten Kopfteiles 105 sind voneinander mit ausreichendem Abstand vorstehende Werkzeuge angeformt, und zwar in der Mitte ein Inbusschlüssel 1, beispielsweise der Größe 4, und zu beiden Seiten je ein Kreuzschlitzzapfen 3 bzw. 6 als Schraubenzieher unterschiedlicher Größe. Auf der Oberseite des Kopfteiles 105 ist etwa mittig eine nach oben vorstehende Buchse 2a mit einem Vierkantloch 2 als Hohlsteckschlüssel ausgebildet, beispielsweise als Heizkörperentlüftungsschlüssel verwendbar. Koaxial auf der Unterseite des plattenförmigen Körpers zu dem Hohlsteckschlüssel 2 ist eine als Sechskant ausgebildete Ringöffnung 17 vorgesehen, die einen Ringschlüssel bildet, wie in Fig. 6 ersichtlich.A further exemplary embodiment of a multifunctional hand-held device 100 according to the invention is shown in several views in FIGS. 5 shows the hand-held device 100 in its top view onto the top side 103 of the plate-shaped body in its original size. FIG. 7 shows the bottom view of the handheld device 100 and FIG. 6 shows the cross section AB according to FIG. 5. The plate-shaped body 101, which has an approximately oval shape, is structured into a head part 105 and neck part 108 by two opposing indentations which form two spanners 4, 15 of different sizes. On the opposite side of the head part, the plate-shaped body 101 is shaped by a large indentation 110, which is of a size for formation as a bottle opener, in such a way that two legs 106, 107 lying opposite one another are formed and on the side opposite the head part 105, the indentation 110 is located. The ends of the legs 106, 107 are angled slightly outwards and are designed as slotted screwdrivers 12 and 16a of different sizes. On the outer circumference 104 of the rounded head part 105, protruding tools are formed from one another with a sufficient spacing, in the middle an Allen key 1, for example size 4, and on both sides a Phillips pin 3 or 6 as a screwdriver of different sizes. On the top of the head part 105, an upwardly projecting socket 2a with a square hole 2 is formed approximately in the middle as a hollow socket wrench, for example usable as a radiator ventilation key. Coaxial on the underside of the plate-shaped body to the hollow socket wrench 2 is a ring opening 17 which is designed as a hexagon and forms a ring wrench, as can be seen in FIG. 6.

Die Maulschlüssel der Einbuchtungen 4 und 15 sind auf der Oberseite 103 des plattenförmigen Körpers mit einer Kragenform versehen. Die Unterseite 102 des plattenförmigen Körpers ist glatt und eben ausgebildet, wie auch aus Fig. 6 ersichtlich, so daß das Handgerät flach aufliegen kann.The spanners of the indentations 4 and 15 are provided with a collar shape on the top 103 of the plate-shaped body. The underside 102 of the plate-shaped body is smooth and flat, as can also be seen in FIG. 6, so that the hand-held device can lie flat.

Die Fig. 11 zeigt im Maßstab 2 : 1 die Ansicht W auf den kleinen Kreuzschraubenzieher und die Fig. 10 ausschnittsweise im Maßstab 2 : 1 die Ansicht X auf den größeren Kreuzschraubenzieher 6.FIG. 11 shows the view W on the small Phillips screwdriver on a scale of 2: 1 and FIG. 10 shows sections of the view X on the larger Phillips screwdriver 6 on a scale of 2: 1.

Die große Einbuchtung 110 zwischen den Beinen 106, 107 weist in ihrem Scheitelbereich eine in den Freiraum reichende Lasche auf, die durch eine Kerbe 7, die als Nagelklaue dienen kann, in zwei Laschen 9a, 9b unterteilt ist. Die Ausnehmung 110 zusammen mit den Laschen 9a, 9b kann als Flaschenöffner benutzt werden, wobei der Flaschendeckel in Fig. 5 gestrichelt eingezeichnet ist. Um ausreichend Bewegungsfreiraum für das Öffnen des Flaschendeckels zu erhalten, ist an den Beinen 106, 107 an der Innenseite in einem Bereich anschließend an die Lasche 9a, 9b eine keilförmige Verjüngung des plattenförmigen Körpers auf der Unterseite, entsprechend den markierten Bereichen 27a, 22a, vorgenommen.The large indentation 110 between the legs 106, 107 has in its apex region a tab which extends into the free space and is divided into two tabs 9a, 9b by a notch 7 which can serve as a nail claw. The recess 110 together with the tabs 9a, 9b can be used as a bottle opener, the bottle cap being shown in broken lines in FIG. 5. In order to obtain sufficient freedom of movement for opening the bottle cap, a wedge-shaped tapering of the plate-shaped body on the underside, corresponding to the marked areas 27a, 22a, is carried out on the legs 106, 107 on the inside in an area adjacent to the tab 9a, 9b .

Am Außenumfang eines der Beine, hier des Beines 106 nahe dem Ende der Beine, ist der plattenförmige Körper ebenfalls keilförmig nach außen verjüngt, um eine Kante 13, die zum Öffnen von Pakten, Briefen oder dergleichen geeignet ist, zu schaffen. In der Fig. 8 bzw. Fig. 12 ist diese Kante 13 gut erkennbar.On the outer circumference of one of the legs, here the leg 106 near the end of the legs, the plate-shaped body is also tapered outwards in a wedge shape in order to create an edge 13 which is suitable for opening packages, letters or the like. This edge 13 is clearly visible in FIGS. 8 and 12.

Ebenfalls ist eine Messerkante 8a an der Innenseite eines Beines, hier des Beines 107 durch eine entsprechende Ausnehmung geschaffen, wie aus der Fig. 5 und 9 ersichtlich.A knife edge 8a is likewise created on the inside of a leg, here leg 107, by means of a corresponding recess, as can be seen from FIGS. 5 and 9.

Sowohl die Kante 13 als auch die Messerkante 8a sind durch Ausnehmungen gegenüber der Außenkante, d.h. der äußeren Umfangsseite 104, siehe Fig. 8, bzw. der inneren Umfangsseite im Bereich der Einbuchtung 110, siehe Fig. 9, zurückgesetzt, um Verletzungen zu vermeiden.Both the edge 13 and the knife edge 8a are cut out from the outer edge, i.e. the outer circumferential side 104, see FIG. 8, or the inner circumferential side in the region of the indentation 110, see FIG. 9, in order to avoid injuries.

Das Handgerät 100 ist einstückig aus einem hochfesten Material, insbesondere Metall, beispielsweise im Druckgußverfahren hergestellt. Es ist möglich, je nach gewähltem Metall das Handgerät noch zu härten oder zu vergüten. Es ist auch möglich, die Schlüsselflächenschraubendreherklingen oder sonstigen Funktionsflächen mit einem Auftrag, beispielsweise Zinkauftrag, zu versehen.The hand-held device 100 is made in one piece from a high-strength material, in particular metal, for example by means of the die-casting process. Depending on the metal selected, it is possible to harden or temper the handheld device. It is also possible to provide the wrench screwdriver blades or other functional surfaces with an application, for example zinc application.
