Tool having interconnected links that form at least a portion of a wearable accessory

A tool comprising:

• a plurality of links having respective bodies and movably interconnected to one another to form at least a portion of a wearable accessory, wherein at least one link comprises at least one tool function designed to perform a corresponding function,
• wherein the at least one link has a curved shape,
• wherein the at least one tool function extends tangentially to the curved shape of the at least one link from which the at least one tool function extends and follows the curved shape of the at least one link from which the at least one tool function extends so as to extend into a space defined between two adjacent links, and
• wherein the tool function is positioned so as be substantially on a curved centerline defined by a thickness of the plurality of links in a first configuration in which the plurality of links are curved about an axis to define an opening through the tool.

A tool comprising:

• a plurality of links having respective bodies and movably interconnected to one another to form at least a portion of a wearable accessory, wherein at least one link comprises at least one tool function designed to perform a corresponding function;
• a plurality of linkages, wherein the plurality of linkages comprise at least one pair of linkages on opposite sides of the links and configured to extend between and connect adjacent links in a spaced apart relationship;
• and
• a plurality of fasteners configured to attach the plurality of linkages to respective links such that a respective linkage is rotatably connected to a first one of the adjacent links by a first fastener and is also rotatably connected to a second one of the adjacent links by a second fastener,
• wherein at least one of the adjacent links comprises a shoulder integral with the at least one link and extending outward in a lateral direction from one of the opposed sides of the body of the at least one link, wherein the shoulder defines an opening for receiving a respective fastener that extends in the lateral direction through the opening defined by the shoulder, and
• wherein at least one of the pair of linkages cooperates with the shoulder of the at least one link and the respective fastener received by the opening defined by the shoulder to connect the adjacent links.
