Description: |
| Pliers type tools with folding handles that incorporate additional tools. The underlying principle is the folding portions of the handle restraint the jaws from opening when folded into the "closed" position.
The specifications include a survey of related existing combination tools. The tools based on this patent are small enough to "depend" from a key ring when closed, and include the patent number in the markings.
Patent references include 1,461,370, 3,798,687, 3,858,258, 4,208,749, 4,238,862, 4,648,145, 4,744,272, 5,062,173 & 5,119,520. |
