Patent number: 6151999Abstract: A folding hand tool set comprises a multiple piece plastic handle and a plurality of hand tools pivotally mounted to the handle. The handle includes first and second elongated side walls and a third side wall, or bridge wall. The side walls are arranged generally parallel to each other. The bridge wall is arranged generally perpendicular to the first and second side walls and joins them to each other. The side walls and bridge wall define an internal tool channel, and first and second tool-set mounts. The tools are pivotally mounted to the mounts and in a closed position, are generally in the tool channel. The side walls also each define an external side wall recess for a hereinafter-identified grip. The grip is mounted in the side wall recesses. The grip has the property of yielding resiliently to human hand pressure to provide a gripping action between the hand and grip during usage. The grip is supported by the side walls for strength and force transfer.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 1999Date of Patent: November 28, 2000Assignee: Eklind Tool CompanyInventor: Howard A. Eklind

Patent number: 5823078Abstract: A precision screwdriver having a handle with a rotatable portion consisting of a shaft, a handle, a thrust ring and a rotatable cap. The handle has a cylindrical portion with a raised edge formed on its outer surface, and an internal cavity. The rotatable cap is equipped with a hole therethrough for holding a bearing in the form of a single ball. An internal groove disposed at near the hole serves a securing function when the raised edge of the cylindrical portion of the handle is fitted to the rotatable cap internal groove. A concave securing plate with a hole therethrough is disposed on the outer edge of the rotatable cap hole. The securing plate serves to position the bearing with suitable surface exposed through the securing plate hole. Thus, the rotatable cap can be fitted onto the cylindrical portion of the handle and properly secured by mating the raised edge with the internal groove.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 1997Date of Patent: October 20, 1998Inventor: Tsai-Fa Liu
