  • Patent number: 5454746
    Abstract: A manual tool, particularly adapted for use with construction toys has a human-like configuration. The tool includes a handle that is shaped as a lower half of a human figure and a cap that is shaped as an upper half of a human figure, including a head. The handle together with the cap completes a human-like figure. A longitudinal shank having a driver member extends from an upper end of the handle. The cap has a head shaped member connected to a body. The head shaped member is rotatably connected to the upper end of the body and has a neck portion that frictionally engages the shank. The upper end of the handle engages with a lower end of the body and is provided with an alignment projection for engaging a complementary hole formed on the lower end of the body. The projection permits the handle to properly align with the cap to complete the human-like figure.
