Tool set with slide-out and swing-out tools

A tool set comprising

• a plurality of tools, each having a pair of integrally connected, elongate shanks disposed at a substantial angle relative to each other, with each shank having a working part at its outer end,
• an elongate tool-holding body having an elongate channel defined therein extending longitudinally of said body, said channel having an elongate base with a longitudinal side of said channel opposite said base being open, said channel receiving said tools and permitting manual shifting of a tool therein between a stored position held adjacent the other tools in said set with a shank thereof adjacent and extending longitudinally of said tool-holding body and the other shank of the tool extending outwardly from said base through said open side of the channel, a first working position shifted longitudinally of said body whereby one of said shanks of the tool is spaced from the body with its associated working part exposed, and a second working position wherein the other shank of said tool is shifted outwardly from said body and from said other tools to expose its associated working part, and
• a pivot member secured to said body, extending laterally of said channel, spaced outwardly from said base and overlying one shank of a tool in said channel when the tool is in its stored position, said pivot member providing a pivot about which a tool may be swung to place the tool in its second working position with its said other shank extending outwardly at a substantial angle from said channel with its one shank being captured between said pivot member and the base of said channel.

A tool set comprising

• a plurality of tools, each having a pair of integrally connected, elongate shanks disposed at a substantial angle relative to each other with each shank having a working part at its outer end,
• an elongate tool-holding body including means defining an elongate channel extending longitudinally thereof, said channel having an elongate base and an open side extending longitudinally of said channel opposite said base for receiving tools in stored positions with one shank of each tool adjacent and substantially paralleling the base of the channel and the other shank of each tool extending outwardly from said base through said open side of the channel, and permitting shifting of a tool between said stored position, a first working position shifted longitudinally of said body whereby said other shank portion of the tool is spaced from the body with its associated working part exposed, and a second working position wherein said one shank portion of the tool is shifted outwardly from said body and said other tools to expose its associated working part, and
• holding means in said body for holding a tool in a selected position, said holding means comprising a pivot member secured to said body, extending laterally of said channel, spaced outwardly from said base and overlying one shank of a tool in said channel when the tool is in its stored position and providing a pivot about which the tool may be swung to place the tool in its second working position with its said one shank extending outwardly at a substantial angle from said channel and its other shank captured between said pivot member and the base of said channel, and means frictionally engaging a tool shank in said channel yieldably to hold the same in a selected position in said channel.
