Description
Dec. 9, 1930. N. JENKINS COMBINATION TOOL Original Filed March l, 1928 @5 :I/LI l J6 Patented Dec. 9, 1930 UNITED STATES NATHAN JENKINS, 0F CHICAGO, ILLINOIS COMBINATION Toor.
Application led March 1, 1928, Serial N'o. 258,159. Renewed October 24, 1930.
This invention relates to a multiple utility tool in which is combined parts and devices which render the same suitable for use in many capacities. It may be produced at small expense, be handled without liability of loss of parts, and be applied with facility to many classes of work.
A suggestive embodiment of this invention is set forth in the accompanying drawing wherein- Figure 1 is a front elevation of the tool in its entirety;
Fig. 2 is a side elevation thereof;
Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the tool;
Fig. 4 is a transverse section taken on line 1-lof Fig.2; and
Figs. 5 and 6 are transverse sections taken, respectively, on lines 5-5 and 6--6 of Fig. l.
The tool is provided with a main body A forming a handle for its use. This body may consist of a metallic strap having a desired strength and thickness. At its upper end the body is turnedvlaterally atv 7 to provide a head 8 which extends beyond the proximate edges of the body. At one end the head is turned twice to provide a triangular shaped hammer portion 9. This head may be bowed from end to end, as shown best in Fig. 1, providing a concavel jaw having, if desired, pitched threads 10 extended lengthwise thereof. In co-operative relation with the head is a complementary, oppositely bowed jaw 11 extending laterally from a sleeve 12 which is slidably arranged upon the body to engage and brace the head 7 between the hammer and hatehet portions. This sleeve and flange together constitute an adjustable jaw which may be shifted toward or from the fixed jaw. Upon the adjustable jaw are formed screw threads 14 in complementary relation to the threads 10 of the head. Between the two jaws may be engaged various sizes of caps, such as are ordinarily applied to a jar or vessel. If desired, each jaw may have serrations 16 to assist in gripping a cap whereby to rotate the same for removal from an associated receptacle.
The end of the head 8 which is opposite prong 22 which is upwardly extended in form of a blade 20 having a sharpened edge 21 adapted to serve in the capacity of a hatchet.' In addition, I strike out from the body of the tool near its upper end a pointed parallelism with the handle. This prong will serve admirably in the capacity of a remover for lids of cans or caps of bottles. In addition a second prong 23, may be extended laterally from the sleeve 12. This lateral prong may also be used for opening cans or bottles, and, if sharpened, will serve as a cutter for the end of a can which is to be opened, and while so performing co-operates with the other prong 22 which is driven through the can to serve as a pivotal point for the movement of the cutting prong 23.-
The adjustable sleeve 12 which forms part of the movable jaw may be clamped in any selected position as by means of a screw 25 which is operated by a wing head 26. The
screw, as shown, is in threaded relation with the sleeve through which it passes to engage with a variable pressure upon the body A of the tool. I may also mount upon this sleeve, as by means of a frictional pivot connection 27, a cork puller having a shank 28. This puller may be swung around to a desired position where it tends to remain indefinitely.
One edge of the handle may be provided with cutting teeth 30 by which the device is adapted to function as a saw. These teeth may be extended for the major portion of the 8" handle length.` Also one face of the handle, for a desired portion of its length, may be provided with a file surface 31. In another portion of the handle is an outstruck blade 32 sharpened to enable the tool to serve addi- 90 tionally as a peeling instrument. Near the bottom end of the tool I have provided certain formations including a tapered slot 35 constituting a claw for the removal of such objects as nails, tacks, or the like. The end portion of the handle adjacent the claw is extended and suitably shaped after the manner of a driver 36 by which rotarymotion maybe imparted to screws and the like. Ad-
jacent the driver is another slot which as- 10 sists in defining a prong 37 which is adapted to serve as a can opener.
The tool of this invention may be formed from metallic parts by stamping o erations. Its assembly requires very little e ort. The owner of such an instrument will be-able to meet various contingencies with a single tool having a multiplicity of capabilities. For this reason, it is particularly adapted to serve for emergency purposes.
I claim:
1. A multiple utility m01 in which is com! bined a body constituting a handle and comprising a light metal barhaving one end extended laterally and bowed-outwardly to provide a fixed jaw, the ends of said laterally extended portion being formed to provide oppositely extending hammer and hatchet portions, and a second oppositely bowed jaw adjustably mounted on said bar relative t0 said fixed jaw,.and means for securing said second jaw in abutting relation with said fixed jaw to provide a rigid head between said hammer and hatchet portions.
2. A multiple utility tool in which is combined a body constituting a handle and comprising a. light metal bar having one end' extended laterally and bowed outwardly to provide a xed jaw, one end of said laterally extended portion being bent upon itself to form a hammer and the opposite end being fiat and provided with a hatchet edge, and a second oppositely bowed jaw adjustably mounted on said handle and adapted in one adjusted position to brace and reinforce the hammer carrying-j aw, and in other adjusted positions to engage objects of varying size between the jaws. n
3. A multi le utility tool in which is combined a handle having. one end extended laterally and bowed outwardly to provide a fixed jaw, and ends of said jaw portion being formed with oppositely extending hammer and hatchet portions` and the intermediate bowed portion having corrugations exl tending between said hammer and hatchet portions, and a second oppositely bowed corrugated jaw adjustably mounted on said handle and ada ted in one adjusted position to enga e and jaw an in other adjusted positions to engage threaded objects of varying sizes between the corrugated jaws.
