Abstract
Integrated utility devices are disclosed having a myriad of synergistic features. A body having an internal storage cavity may be sealed by a cap comprising a self-contained flashlight assembly. Also, hook attached to the body may serve dual purposes of providing a bracing surface for a bottle opener and a hook portion for a gated carrying clip for the body having internal storage cavity.
Claims6
An integrated utility device comprising:
- a body having an axial length and including a cavity for storing items;
- a cap removably coupled to a first end portion of the body and sealing an opening of the cavity,
- the cap containing a light source and a battery, and wherein the cavity has an unoccupied space with an axial length at least as great as an axial length of the cap and a lateral width at least as great as half of a lateral width of the cap, when the cap is removably coupled to the body;
- a carrying clip formed on a second end portion of the body, the carrying clip comprising a hook with a spring-loaded gate attached thereto, wherein the hook includes a slanted outside wall surface that slants laterally inward starting from an axially outward position to an axially inward position relative thereto, to join a laterally outwardly extending wall surface of the body that extends laterally outward from a base portion of the hook, the laterally outwardly extending wall surface having an axially outwardly extending protrusion member;
- and
- whereby the slanted outside wall surface and axially outwardly extending protrusion member are usable in combination for removing a bottle cap from a capped bottle by bracing a top portion of the bottle cap against the slanted outside wall surface while abutting an edge of the bottle cap against the axially outwardly extending protrusion member then manually pivoting the capped bottle or the body relative to one another.
