Definitions

  • the invention relates to a multi-function tool with two of a Parallel position pivotally facing each other handle parts, and with a arranged in the region of the pivot point tool, wherein at least one about an axis which is the opposite end of the pivoting part of the handle part is assigned, pivotable additional tool is assigned, which is made a swiveled Verwahr ein swung in about 180 ° Use position is swung against a stop.
  • a multifunction tool of this type is known from US Pat. No. 6,014,787.
  • the tool is a pair of pliers, their maulabgewandten, beyond the hinge connection lying ends have the pivot point for the handle parts.
  • the Additional tools are e.g. a pair of scissors, a screwdriver, a capsule opener etc. In the storage position the corresponding folded additional tools come as well in a 9.höhlung the handle parts as the largest mass bearing head of the forceps. The length of the cavity is taken proportionately by the mentioned utensils.
  • the corkscrew is an extension of a connecting bar is, which connects the two handle parts connecting each other.
  • a practically shield-like connecting web fulfills a dual function insofar, as he is already stable base part of the corkscrew.
  • the toothed segment formed on a handle shell is already stable base part of the corkscrew.
  • a further meaning of the connecting web results from acting on the connecting web Spring tongues for locking the handle parts in the parallel and extended position.
  • Such precision switching elements are good at the connecting web guided.
  • the illustrated multifunctional tool includes besides the actual one Tool I on-board additional tool II.
  • the tool I is a corkscrew 1.
  • the corkscrew 1 runs at its free end into a sharpened indention point 2 off. Its helical shaft goes in the opposite direction in a plate-shaped Connecting web 3 via. The corkscrew 1 is so the protruding Extension of the connecting web 3.
  • the lateral wing 3 'having connecting web 3 placed in the area of this the bearing eye 4 two handle parts 5 of the multi-function tool.
  • the handle parts 5 take a stretched, violent course and are at both ends endverêtt.
  • the storage of the handle parts 5 on the connecting web 3 is such that they are made a parallel position, as shown for example in FIG. 1, only up to a stretched position are pivotable, as for example in FIG. 3 can be removed is.
  • the extended position as well as the parallel position stop limit.
  • the multi-function tool takes a profile T-shaped shape.
  • the same length protruding leg having transverse grip G of the transferred into the position of use tool extends substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal center plane x-x of the multifunction tool, in which the shaft of the corkscrew 1 runs.
  • the corkscrew 1 is good in terms of operation in the hand.
  • the additional tools II come in at least two parallel mutually arranged pockets 12 below. They are located between Erlen 13. The corresponding storage position is the drawing in detail removable, this as well as the explained handle extension by the additional tools II.
  • each spring-loaded parallel position and stretched position the handle parts 5 is based on snap-acting elements of a kind Switching device. This is particularly clear from Figures 17 and 18.
  • the heart of this switching device is a spring tongue 14. That is as a package realized. This consists of three spring tongues 14. Their foot 14 'is on the handle part. 5 established.
  • the self-spring head 14 "is powerful on one of the connecting bridge 3, more precisely its two identical wings 3 'set switching contour at.
  • the blunt against a parallel to the longitudinal center plane x-x extending Flank a passing front end of the head 14 "secures the position of use Handle parts 5 can not enter a Hyperextensionslage.
  • the head 14 "lies spring-loaded in an angular recess of the connecting web 3 a.
  • the handle parts 5 can be pivoted. This is done willingly, wherein the spring tongue 14 and their head 14 "over a step edge of the connecting web 3 moves to then with a likewise in the Lateral center plane x-x stepped head-effective surface resilient against the step-like subsequent outer edge b to lay. Over this the locking of the Handle parts 5 in the parallel position. The whole thing happens in a swiveling motion around the bearing lugs 4, more precisely an axle section 15.
  • the axle section 15 is embedded in pairs in the connecting web 3 (see FIG. 4). He passes through the wings 3 '. On the both sides freely protruding ends of the Achsabête 15 are the stack-shaped mutually associated, the multi-function tool attached forming elements. You have matching Openings on, designated throughout with 16.
  • the axle sections 15 have open internal threads on both sides.
  • this fixing screws 17 can screw in axially.
  • Under close of the sandwich or lamellar structure enforce the mounting screws 17 externally mounted handles 18. Their fixation is special clearly shown in Fig. 16.
  • the heads of the fastening screws 17 lie in Depressions.
  • the relevant hole-forming opening carries the Reference numeral 19.
  • the Verachsung of the additional tools II made the view withdrawn.
  • the relevant bearing pin, the axis 8, passes through Alder 13, spring tongues 14 and, just forming the bearing points of the additional tools II. He serves as a rivet 20.
  • the pivotally mounted handle parts 5 are in mutual driving engagement. This has the consequence that the corkscrew 1 when panning the Handle parts 5 is permanently controlled in a bisecting position.
  • the Control results from a meshing of the handle parts 5.
  • This forms a Pair of equal grip shells 18 of the two handle parts 5, the bearing side Rounding contour of the handles 18 superior tooth segments 25 off.
  • toothed is the subsequent Erl 13 facing half thickness of the handles.
  • the teeth of the intermeshing tooth segments are essentially trapezoidal shape. The teeth bow ever goes over a good quarter circle. Radius point is the geometric axis of the parallel axis sections 15th
  • the tool I In parallel position of the handle parts 5 is the tool I, the corkscrew 1 so, embedded in a convenient trough-like manner.
  • the related storage position results For example, from Fig. 1. Visible, the Eindringpitze 2 is also in the Edge protection included, so that in question multi-function tool safely as a pocket device can be carried.
  • this protective measure is functionally reliable achieved that each of the two handle parts 5 on folding technology against each other directed sides a half-pocket 26 forms.
  • the thickness direction of the multifunctional tool measured depth of the pocket T takes into account well the outer diameter of the Coiled shaft of corkscrew 1.
  • In the corresponding bulge are also going to the middle of the multi-tool alder 13 as well included the spring package.
  • the corresponding removal is clear Fig. 16. Recognizable is an overlapping assignment of the functional parts possible in storage. On an upper floor comes the corkscrew 1 under and the spring tongues 14 for locking the handle parts 5; in a lower floor are the additional tools.
  • Lying in the longitudinal center plane x-x is the connecting web 3 under continuation the flank a given an eyelet 27, this for attachment of the multi-function tool on a carrying chain or the like.
  • shift gate is the one around the journal, i. Rivet 8 hinged Section of the accessory tool tail 28 and a cooperating one Spring tongue 29. This is also anchored to the foot. Her bondage goes via the rivet 21 and a hook mouth 30, which is supported on the axle section 15.
