Emergency rescue axe device

In a combination tool comprising an elongate handle member, a tool head mounted adjacent one end of said handle member, and a plurality of tool members, each adapted to be removably attached upon said tool head, a locking means for releasably mounting said tool members to said tool head comprising:

• a recess formed in said tool head adapted to receive a flange formed on each of said tool members said flange additionally includes a pivot slot formed on an edge of said flange, said pivot slot engaging a mounted pin formed in said recess in said tool head;
• a lock member fixed on said tool head and rotatably mounted for movement wherein a portion of said lock member selectively extends within said recess;
• and
• aperture means formed on said flange having a shape complimentary to said portion of said lock member, said portion of said lock member engaging said aperture means when the portion extends within said recess to securely lock said tool member to said tool head.

A combination tool comprising:

• a pair of elongate handle members;
• a first tool head attached adjacent one end of one of said handle members;
• a second tool head attached adjacent one end of the other one of said handle members, said second tool heads pivotally moutable to a fixed pivot pin within a recess on said first head to permit said handle members to be scissored apart;
• and
• locking means rotatably mounted on said first tool head for releasably locking said first and second tool heads together such locking means rotatable about an axis perpendicular to said pivot pin.

A combination tool comprising:

• a pair of pivotally connected elongate handle members;
• a first tool head attached to one of said handle members;
• a second head attached to the other one of said handle members;
• and
• means formed on said first tool head for releasably locking said first and second tool heads together, said means permitting said handle members to extend in an end-for-end, substantially linear, orientation to form a rigid pry bar structure said means having a lock member engaging a mounting slot formed in said second tool head.

A combination tool kit comprising:

• (a) a handle member including a tool head adjacent one end;
• (b) a plurality of interchangeable tool members formed having a mounting flange;
• (c) a recess formed in said tool head having a fixed pivot pin transversely formed in said recess adapted for detachable pivotally mounting said mounting flange of any of said interchangeable tool members respectively;
• and
• (d) locking means disposed on said tool head, rotatably mounted for movement to selectively engage said flange within said recess, said engagement securely mounting one of said interchangeable tool members to said tool head.

A combination tool comprising:

• a first handle member including an axe head mounted adjacent one end;
• a second handle member including a pick head mounted adjacent one end;
• pivot means for detachably mounting said axe and pick head together;
• and
• means for selectively locking said axe and pick heads about said pivot means, said means permitting said handle members to be selectively (a) locked together as a composite structure, (b) scizzored apart relative one another, and (c) rigidly interconnected in an end-for-end, substantially linear, orientation.

In a combination tool having an elongate handle member including a tool head mounted on one end, said tool head formed with a recess adjacent one end and including a pin disposed within said recess, interchangeable tool attachments adapted to be mounted upon said tool head comprising:

• a tool body formed to function as an individual tool implement;
• a mounting flange integrally connected to said tool body and adapted to be received within said recess;
• slot means formed adjacent one edge of said flange;
• and
• aperture means formed adjacent an opposite edge of said flange, said slot means engaging said pin disposed within said recess and said aperture means selectively receiving a portion of a lock member pivotally mounted on said tool head to rigidly mount said tool attachment to said tool head.
