  • Publication number: 20200307003
    Abstract: A pocket knife has a blade pivotally deployable on a handle formed by upper and lower handle plates. Longitudinal channel portions are formed in facing surfaces of the handle pates at their distal ends, which are shaped and dimensioned to form a socket that can engage a standard hexagonal tool bit. A magnet is provided on the root portion of the blade for retaining the tool bit in the socket formed by the channel portions. In a variant, the channel portions are omitted, the hexagonal tool bit is retained in a slot formed in the root portion of the blade, and the ends of the handle plates engage opposite flats of the tool bit.

  • Patent number: 9975234
    Abstract: A pocket hand tool having an elongate handle portion and a tool carrier plate rotatably mounted on the exterior of the elongate handle portion, the tool carrier plate having a peripheral array of tool heads, the tool carrier plate having a first rotary position in which the tool heads are in a stowed configuration and having one or more further rotary positions in which one or more of said tool heads are in a deployed configuration, said tool carrier plate having an exposed major surface portion which in use is capable of being manipulated by the thumb of the hand holding the elongate handle portion.

  • Publication number: 20180015604
    Abstract: A pocket tool (e.g. a key carrier) comprises two tool elements such as a bottle-opener/screwdriver blade and a carabiner clip pivotally deployable on opposite sides of a central handle plate. A spring bar mounted on one face of the central handle plate has a free end portion which engages diametrically opposed flats formed on camming surfaces of root portions of the carabiner clip and bottle-opener/screwdriver blade respectively in order to hold them in their retracted and deployed positions. The free end portion includes a transverse projection which extends through a cut-out or aperture to enable it to engage the camming surface of the carabiner clip, enabling control of two tool elements on opposite sides of the central handle plate. When one tool element is held in the deployed configuration the other tool element is held in the retracted configuration.

  • Patent number: 9144900
    Abstract: A pocket hand tool comprises a tubular shank (1) with a hexagonal bore, the proximal end (1c) being provided with an aperture (3) and a slot (6) for receiving a bit retainer clip (4) and a coin (8)/door key (8?) respectively. The clip thus serves a dual function and the slot enables the torque applied by the tool to be increased by using the coin as a handle.

  • Publication number: 20120012478
    Abstract: A container in the form of two solid ended, hollow, cylinders with a threaded or push fitted seal to form a water resistant capsule with a hole at one end to enable a split ring or quick release clip to be added. The container is able to hold a folded note wrapped around a specifically designed clip within its body, thus reducing the required size of the container to a minimum yet allowing the banknote to be retrievable when required.
