  • Publication number: 20260070194
    Abstract: A hand tool includes a handle including an opening at a first end of the handle, the opening extending into the handle and a first group of projections positioned within the opening, a driver positioned within the opening and including a second group of projections configured to interface with the first group of projections. The driver is configured to translate along an axis between a first position. The first group of projections interface with the second group of projections while the driver is in the first position to prevent the driver from rotating about the axis. The driver is configured to rotate about the axis while the driver is in the second position. A spring is positioned within the opening and configured to bias the driver towards the second position.

  • Publication number: 20260001243
    Abstract: A knife includes a blade, a handle coupled to the blade, and a clip coupled to the handle at a plurality of attachment interfaces. The clip may be a wire clip which can be difficult to couple to a handle. The coupling at each of the plurality of attachment interfaces includes a through-hole in the handle, a clip hole in the handle intersecting the through-hole, a recessed slot in the handle extending from the clip hole, a clip end of the clip positioned at least partially within the clip hole and extending at least partially into the recessed slot, and a fastener removable positioned within the through-hole. The fastener may be a screw with threads configured to engage both the handle and the clip end to secure the clip to the handle and prevent twisting of the clip relative to the handle.

  • Publication number: 20250213075
    Abstract: A cutting board includes a tray, a knife, and a cutting board removable coupled to the tray. The knife is positioned within a knife slot defined by the tray. The cutting board coupled to the tray applies a force to the knife such that the knife is retained in a deflected state between the tray and the cutting board. The knife acts as a spring to provide a counterforce pushing against the tray and the cutting board, thereby preventing the knife rattling as the cutting board is moved. The cutting board can include an inner cutting board and an outer cutting board, and the tray can include a base tray and a knife tray. The inner cutting board and the outer cutting board can interchangeably engage with at least one of the base tray of the knife tray to provide a plurality of alternative cutting board configurations.

  • Publication number: 20250194860
    Abstract: Cookware includes a cooking vessel, a bracket, and a handle. The bracket includes a bracket body coupled to the bracket body and extending away from the cooking vessel, the bridge defining a slot. The handle is removably coupled to the bracket and includes a handle body and a release tab. The release tab is coupled to the handle body and configured to move between a secure position and a release position, wherein moving the release tab to the release position causes the release tab to disengage the bridge to decouple the handle from the bracket. The handle can couple to a plurality of various cooking vessels. The handle can include an alignment tab coupled to the handle body and configured to slide within the slot.

  • Patent number: 12179371
    Abstract: A knife includes a blade defining an aperture, a first handle and a second handle coupled to the blade. The knife includes a first catch coupled to the first handle and including a first protrusion, and a first spring coupled to the first handle and configured to apply a first biasing force on the first catch, and a second catch coupled to the second handle and including a second protrusion, and a second spring coupled to the second handle and configured to apply a second biasing force on the second catch. The first protrusion and the second protrusion are received within the aperture. The first handle rotates from a first position to a second position in a first direction about a first pivot axis and the second handle rotates from a third position to a fourth position in a second direction opposite the first direction about a second pivot axis.

  • Patent number: 11794313
    Abstract: A multi-purpose tool includes a first handle, a second handle, and a laminated plier jaw assembly coupled to the first handle and the second handle. The laminated plier jaw assembly includes a first outer layer, a second outer layer, an inner layer, and a pin. The first outer layer defines a first aperture. The second outer layer defines a second aperture. The inner layer is positioned between and is coupled to the first outer layer and the second outer layer. The inner layer defines a slot having a narrow portion positioned between a first wide portion and a second wide portion. The pin extends at least partially through the first aperture, the second aperture, and the slot. The first outer layer, the second outer layer, and the inner layer cooperate to define a pair of jaws that rotate relative to one another about an axis of rotation.
