Abstract
The present invention defines a unique structure and methodology for creating a plurality of configurable and extensible tools that can be affixed to a plurality of digits and equipment to form tool sets for working more easily with objects.
Claims15
A tool kit comprising:
- a plurality of sleeves, the proximal end of each of said sleeves sized and shaped with an interior void to fit snuggly upon at least one first digit on at least one first hand of a user;
- a plurality of lower connectors, a proximal surface of one of the lower connectors being operationally coupled to a distal end of one of said sleeves;
- a plurality of shaft segments, each comprising a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the plurality of shaft segments allow for an operating shaft selected from the group consisting of:
- a single shaft segment, a plurality of shaft segments adjustably coupled together for adjustment of a total length of said plurality of shaft segments along a single axis during use of the tool kit, two shaft segments coupled together to form a fixed angle from close to 0 up to 180 degrees and two shaft segments coupled together with a joint allowing for adjustment of an angle of the two shaft segments from close to 0 up to 180 degrees relative to each other during use of the tool kit, wherein the proximal end of said operating shaft is operationally coupled to a distal surface of said one of the lower connectors;
- a plurality of upper connectors, each comprising a proximal surface and a distal surface, the proximal surface one of said upper connectors being operationally coupled to the distal end of said operating shaft;
- a plurality of tools, a proximal end of one of the tools being operationally coupled to the distal surface of said one of the upper connectors;
- wherein said tool kit allows for combination of above said lower connectors, shaft segments, upper connectors and first tools to define a plurality of tool sets attachable to a plurality of digits.
