Definitions

  • the invention relates to a multi-function tool with at least one group tool comprising several tool elements, which is connected to a handle by a releasable coupling and whose tool elements can be stowed in the handle.
  • the invention further relates to a group tool for such a multi-function tool.
  • Multi-function tools have been a well-known tool for general and sometimes specific applications.
  • group tools that are stowed away in the handle.
  • the term group tool is understood to mean several individual tool elements combined into a group (e.g. screwdriver, tenon screwdriver, knife, can opener, scissors, etc.) which are held rotatable about a common axis.
  • the individual tool elements can be completely stowed away in the handle.
  • the individual tool elements can protrude in such a way that there is no risk of injury to a user.
  • further individual tool elements e.g.
  • toothpicks, tweezers, etc. are accommodated in the handle or the housing.

  • Another form of collapsible knife is shown, for example, in US Pat. No. 5,581,834 (Collins), which has interchangeable tools at one end of the knife.
  • the same group of the tools mentioned above can be assigned to the multi-function tool of DE 299 02 625 U (Hung).
  • Two handles are connected at one end to a tool element, for example pliers or a cutting tool, with intermediate pieces. Point at the other end the handles on tool parts that can be stowed in the handle.
  • the handles In WO 99/03644 A (The Colman Company, Inc.), the handles have cavities for receiving exchangeable cassettes. These cassettes are equipped in the factory with specific general needs with one or more working blades, which are pivotally attached to one end of the cassettes in the manner of a pocket knife.
  • US Pat. No. 5,916,277 discloses a multi-function tool which has an exchangeable individual tool at one end of the handle and a group tool which is permanently connected to the handle at the other end.
  • the group tool includes several individually foldable tool elements that are stowed away in the handle.
  • the replaceable individual tool can be pliers.
  • WO 00/21720 A also shows a multi-function tool with removable inserts.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a multi-function tool of the type mentioned at the outset, which can be adapted to a wide variety of needs of a user who is active in several areas of a profession and in particular the leisure time.
  • the multifunction tool has a plurality of tool elements
  • Group tool which is connected to the handle by a releasable coupling and whose tool elements can be stowed in the handle, the tool elements of the group tool being individually replaceable.
  • the user can thus individually assemble the group tools which are necessary for him and which comprise several tool elements in a multi-function tool. He no longer has to buy different multi-function tools for different applications, but can arrange appropriate group tools on the handle, which can be equated to a basic module.
  • An angler provides his pluggable multifunctional tool with a group tool, which includes, for example, a hook release, scales, etc.
  • a hunter on the other hand, supplements the basic module with a group tool, which is equipped, for example, with a large knife, a saw, etc. If the same user plays golf, for example, he provides his pluggable multifunction tool with the corresponding group tool, which includes the tool elements required for him.
  • the cross-sectional shape of the handle can be designed as desired.
  • a U-shaped cross-sectional shape is preferred so that longer tool elements can be stowed in the handle. In principle, it is sufficient if there are two side walls between which the tool element can be snapped into place. Under certain circumstances, very short tool elements can be stowed in the group tool itself, so that no corresponding storage space has to be provided in the handle. It is conceivable to design the handle of the multi-function tool as an interchangeable handle which is structurally aligned with certain tool elements (e.g. long knives or the like).
  • the handle preferably has coupling means at both ends, to which group tools can be detachably attached.
  • Special handles can also be used, for example with a T-shaped handle, which only offer the possibility of arranging a coupling means at one end.
  • This coupling means is preferably designed such that the group tool engages when inserted. By pressing one Unlocking button, the group tool can be removed and replaced with another group tool, for example.
  • the basically U-shaped handle in the area of the coupling means can have a closed cross-sectional shape, e.g. B. have the shape of a hollow rectangle.
  • the coupling piece can be designed such that the tool element is fastened to it in a movable or fixed manner. In certain applications, it is a condition for the correct use of the tool that the intended tool is held immovably (e.g. a screwdriver).
  • the coupling in the handle can therefore be designed in such a way that an inserted tool element can be locked and thus undesired movements of the tool element can be avoided.
  • a single tool e.g. a filleting knife as used by anglers
  • a single tool can also be attached to the handle.
  • an actual handle can be attached to a handle to increase ease of use.
  • a preferred embodiment of a multifunction tool according to the invention has two handles which are connected to one another via an articulated connecting part.
  • the articulated connecting part is connected to the handles via the releasable couplings and has a bolt on each of the two coupling parts, around which the handles can be rotated.
  • This makes it possible to fold the multi-function tool in such a way that the handles are parallel and closely spaced apart.
  • the multifunction tool can, for example, be accommodated in a case and carried on a belt. If a user wants to move the multi-function tool from the transport position into the working position, he has to turn the handles back around the bolts of the coupling pieces of the connecting part.
  • a group tool which is connected to the handle by the releasable coupling, is preferably arranged on at least one of the two handles.
  • the Group tool comprises several tool elements, the tool elements of the group tool being individually interchangeable.
  • the articulated connecting part is designed as an individual tool.
  • this individual tool can be, for example, pliers heads, scissors, side cutters or something similar.
  • the length of the handles can be designed differently and essentially depends on the tool elements offered. With regard to the modular design of the multi-function tool, only one or two types of handle lengths are preferably offered. Since these handles can preferably be connected to one another, any user-specific lengths can be plugged together. All elements of the multi-function tool should be able to be combined with one another, largely independently of one another.
  • the group tool attached to at least one handle comprises several tool elements rotatably mounted on a common axis.
  • the entire group tool can preferably be stowed in the handle.
  • the individual tool elements preferably protrude slightly from the storage space in a suitable manner in the stowed state, so that they can be gripped and folded out by the user.
  • the corresponding tool element of the group tool is expanded individually.
  • a securing mechanism can be provided which prevents the unintentional folding of a tool element in the working position.
  • a bolt which forms the axis of the group tool, can be removed in such a way that the group tool can be disassembled by each user and can be reassembled in as few steps as possible according to individual needs. This enables the user to create his multifunctional tool tailored to his personal needs (e.g. fishing today, cycling tomorrow). It is also possible for him to largely replace individual defective tool elements himself and at low cost. This means that specific needs within an application area can also be taken into account.
  • a basic kit can be added as required. This can lead to an actual tool collection, which is accommodated in a tool case, for example. If someone wants to give the user a gift, he can give him one or more tool elements which he integrates into the multi-function tool according to his needs.
  • the individual elements of the multifunction tool can preferably all be combined with one another, but can have different lengths. On the basis of these requirements, it is conceivable that two group tools are arranged on a handle, which have individual tool elements with a length that is longer than half the handle length. If these tool elements are to be stowed in the handle, they come together.
  • the individual elements of the multifunction tool are provided with identifiers so that the user is given help regarding the meaningful combinations.
  • the attached identifier can be a stamp or an engraving.
  • the multi-function tool comprises a variant of a short handle, with which, for example, a small pocket knife can be created and a long handle, which has, for example, twice the length of the short handle.

  • the group tool 6 comprises a metal file 13, a sawtooth blade 14, a small knife blade 15, a small flat screwdriver 16 and a large ratchet screwdriver 17.
  • the Phillips screwdriver 11 of the group tool 5 can also be designed such that it is constructed like a socket wrench set and thus can take over the function of the flat screwdriver 16 and 17. In the group tool 6, these tool elements could thus be dispensed with in favor of other tool elements.
  • the arrangement of the tool elements of group tools 5 and 6 is exemplary and can be adapted to individual needs as required.
  • All tool elements are attached to a group tool holder 19 by means of a bolt 18 held such that they are rotatable on a common axis and can be stowed in the handle 2 or 3.
  • Each of the group tool holder 19 preferably has a securing lever 20 which prevents an unintentional folding in of a tool element which has been folded out for use.
  • the bolt 18 of the group tool 6 is removed, for example, this can be broken down into the individual tool elements and the group tool holder 19. After the tool elements have been replaced or replaced by the user, they are reinserted into the group tool holder 19 and connected to a group tool by means of the bolt 18. It is therefore not absolutely necessary to have several group tools so that different areas of application can be covered. Only the replacement of individual and also individual defective tool elements is possible.

  • the pliers head 4 on the handle 3 is removed and a group tool, which corresponds, for example, to the group tool 22, is inserted.
  • the multi-function tool 1 now available is similar to an already known pocket knife.
  • the group tools 6 and 22 are detachably coupled to the handle 3.
  • a handle 25 can also be arranged, which can be desirable especially in tight spaces, for example to loosen or fasten a screw in a niche.
  • a filleting knife 26, a magnet 27 or a lamp 28 is attached to the handle 3 instead of the group tool 6. All of the combinations shown are examples and all variations can in principle be combined in any form.

  • Both group tools 5 and 22 are coated in blue.
  • the group tool 5 has the longest tool element, the wooden file 4, which is 8 cm long and the group tool 5 is coated in red.
  • a group tool, not shown, has a 4 cm long awl as the longest tool element and is coated in yellow. If a shorter handle than the one described (e.g. 8 cm long) is used, it has, for example, a black coating. Individual tools that cannot be stowed in the handle can be provided with a yellow coating, for example.
  • the following table shows possible combinations according to the color coating:
  • the individual tool elements of the group tools are interchangeable, they can be identified separately according to their length. All tool elements that can be stowed in a small handle - with a black coating - are provided with the corresponding identifier - in this example a yellow coating. In such an embodiment, the different colors are preferably assigned a corresponding importance. If, for example, a compiled group tool has tool elements with a yellow and blue identifier, the blue identifier is decisive for the assessment of the combinability.
  • Figure 3a shows a schematic example of a clutch mechanism 29 in the locked state.
  • the unlocking button 7 is arranged in a first opening 33 of the housing 35, for example of the handle 2, and the element used - a single or group tool - is in the coupled state.

  • a variant of the design of the coupling mechanism shown is a simple plug connection.
  • the elements are put together directly or by means of an intermediate piece without being locked.
  • the coupling means can be surrounded with an elastically deformable material (e.g. rubber), which increases the friction on the elements to be connected.
  • a cover cap can be arranged at the other end, which can be removed if necessary. It is also conceivable to design a handle that basically only provides a fastening option at one end.
  • the handle can be constructed in two parts. This is done in such a way that it can be pushed together like a telescope and thus allows the original length to be shortened. These parts of the handle are held for example by means of friction or a grid. Coupling means are arranged at the ends, which are not pushed into one another, as in the embodiment described above.
  • the multi-function tool 1 Since all elements of the multi-function tool 1 are interchangeable, different qualities of the individual elements can be used. This makes it possible to cover several price segments on the market. If a user needs or wishes a better quality, for example of a knife blade, he acquires it and replaces it on the corresponding group tool.
  • the interchangeability of the elements of the group tools can also be achieved in that several tool bases (“mounting stubs") are rotatably mounted on a common axis, onto which the individual tools can be attached, for example.
  • the multi-function tool 1 has created a tool that can take into account all user-specific wishes that may arise in different areas of application. A separate tool no longer has to be procured for each area of application. If a user changes his hobby, the investment made is at least partially preserved, since he can adapt his multi-function tool 1 to the new circumstances and wishes.
