Abstract
A multi use tool having a pair of links pivoted to one another by a pivot intermediate the ends, cooperating inwardly facing jaws adjacent one end of the links, the jaws operable toward one another to grip an object, separation jaws adjacent the opposite end of the links, a handle formation defined on each link between the jaws and the pivot and a spring for biasing the jaws apart and the separation jaws together, whereby squeezing the handle formation will move the jaw toward one another and the separation jaws away from one another.
Claims9
A multi-use tool comprising a pair of links pivoted to one another by pivot means intermediate the ends, cooperating inwardly facing jaw means adjacent one end of the links, the jaw means having opposed teeth operative to grip an object when moved toward one another, cooperating separation jaws adjacent the opposite end of the links from the jaw means, the separation jaws being elongated and having chisel-like configurations at the outer ends, the separation jaws being adapted to abut one another, spring means for biasing the jaw means apart and the separation jaws together, and handle means defined on each link between the jaw means and the pivot means, whereby squeezing of the handle means will move the jaw means toward one another and the separation jaws away from one another.
A multi-use tool comprising a pair of links pivoted to one another by pivot means intermediate the ends, cooperating inwardly facing jaw means adjacent one end of the links, the jaw means having opposed teeth operative to grip an object when moved toward one another, cooperating separation jaw means adjacent the opposite end of the links from the jaw means, the separation jaw means comprising elongated rod-like members, each of said members having at least one notch means for facilitating gripping engagement with an object, spring means for biasing the jaw means apart and simultaneously biasing the rod-like members, and elongated handle means defined on each link between the jaw means and the pivot means for facilitating use of the multi-use tool for a selected function, whereby squeezing of the handle means will move the jaw means toward one another to grip an object and will move the rod-like members away from one another to spread an object.
