Abstract
A power tool is transformable from a power wrench configuration for use in fastening elements forming a toy vehicle to an engine for the toy vehicle. The power wrench includes a handle having sections pivotally mounted to the housing of the wrench. The handle sections, when used as a wrench, form a single handle for the wrench and are pivoted away from one another to lie along opposite sides of the housing. The handle sections have portions simulative of an actual engine whereby the power wrench may be transformed to a toy engine simulative of an actual full-scale engine. The engine may be disposed in the toy built with the power wrench.
Claims16
A power tool transformable to an engine for a toy, the engine being simulative of a full-scale vehicle engine, comprising:
- a body including a housing, a motor within said housing, a tool holder for holding a tool and carried by said housing for rotation about an axis and a drive between said motor and said tool holder for rotating said tool holder;
- a handle carried by said body including a first section pivotal between a first position projecting from said body and forming a handle grip for said housing thereby forming a hand-held power tool and a second position extending along at least one side of said housing and having portions of said section simulative of at least a portion of an engine whereby the body forms an engine for a toy, said section being pivotal between said first and second positions about a discrete axis generally parallel to the rotatable axis of said tool holder.
A power tool transformable to an engine for a toy, the engine being simulative of a full-scale vehicle engine, comprising:
- a body including a housing, a motor within said housing, a tool holder for holding a tool and rotatably carried by said housing and a drive between said motor and said tool holder for rotating said tool holder;
- a handle carried by said body including a pair of handle sections movable between a first position projecting from said body and forming a handle grip for said housing thereby forming a hand-held power tool, and a second position extending along opposite sides of said housing with each section having portions thereof simulative of at least a portion of a full-scale engine whereby the body forms an engine for a toy, said tool holder being rotatable about an axis, said handle being split along a midline thereof to form said sections, said midline lying in a plane containing said axis.
A power tool transformable to an engine for a toy, the engine being simulative of a full-scale vehicle engine, comprising:
- a body including a housing, a motor within said housing, a tool holder for holding a tool and rotatably carried by said housing and a drive between said motor and said tool holder for rotating said tool holder;
- a handle carried by said body including a pair of handle sections movable between a first position projecting from said body and forming a handle grip for said housing thereby forming a hand-held power tool, and a second position extending along opposite sides of said housing with each section having portions thereof simulative of at least a portion of a full-scale engine whereby the body forms an engine for a toy, said handle being split along a midline thereof to form said sections, said simulative portions of said sections lying along registering surfaces of said sections when said sections lie in said first position.
