Abstract: A tool is provided in order to facilitate utilization by users in a wide variety of applications. By way of example, a multipurpose tool may include first and second handles configured for relative movement between a closed position and an open position. At least the first handle includes an axle extending thereacross. The multipurpose tool also includes one or more tool members rotatably mounted upon the axle and foldable into the first handle and first and second jaws rotatably connected to the first and second handles, respectively. At least the first jaw defines an opening through which the axle of the first handle extends. The multipurpose tool further includes a resilient member disposed at least partially within the opening in order to apply a bias force to the first jaw during rotation of the first jaw relative to the first handle.

Abstract: A cutting tool is provided which may include a first blade and a second blade, where the first blade is coupled to the second blade at a first pivot point, where the first blade defines a cam follower and pivots relative to the second blade about a first pivot axis through the first pivot point; and a lever pivotably coupled to the second blade at a second pivot point, where the lever defines a cam surface and pivots relative to the second blade about a second pivot axis through the second pivot point, where the second blade is driven toward the first blade in response to the lever being advanced toward the first pivot point and the cam follower translating along the cam surface.

Abstract: A multipurpose tool and components thereof are provided in order to facilitate utilization of the multipurpose tool by users in a wide variety of applications. A multipurpose tool may include first and second handles configured for relative movement between a closed position and an open position. The multipurpose tool may also include a plurality of tool members. One or more of the plurality of tool members are carried by and foldable into the first handle. Similarly, one or more of the plurality of tool members are carried by and foldable into the second handle. The multipurpose tool may further include a first magnet carried by the first handle. The first magnet is configured to exert a magnetic force that biases the first and second handles into the closed position.

Abstract: A wearable accessory is provided along with an adjustable linkage and a functional element. In regards to the adjustable linkage, the adjustable linkage includes first and second linkage portions spaced apart from one another to define a channel therebetween. Each linkage portion includes a sidewall defining first and second openings. The second opening defined by each linkage portion includes a plurality of holes spaced in a longitudinal direction to provide sizing options. The adjustable linkage also includes fasteners extending through respective holes the second openings defined by the first and second linkage portions so as to rotatably connect a link of the accessory to the first and second linkage portions. The first and second linkage portions are separate components attached to one another by their mutual attachment to the link of the accessory.
