  • Folding tool adapted for simple assembly and disassembly
    Patent number: 9630328
    Abstract: A folding tool such as a knife includes first and second spaced apart sidewalls with a blade pivotally attached to both sidewalls with a self-interlocking pivot pin. An opening in one sidewall includes a first, larger portion that receives an end of the pivot pin, and a smaller cylindrical opening that communicates with the larger portion through a slot. The end of the pivot pin slides through the slot and the sidewalls are rotated relative to one another to interlock the sidewalls. The knife may be easily assembled and disassembled without tools.
