Combination tool with asymmetric folding structure

A folding combination tool comprising:

• a jaw mechanism including
• a first jaw piece having a first lug attachment,
• a second jaw piece having a second lug attachment,
• a jaw pivot that joins the first jaw piece and the second jaw piece so that the first jaw piece and the second jaw piece may pivot with respect to each other in a pivot plane, wherein
• a first lug attachment spacing of the first lug attachment from the jaw pivot is greater than a second lug attachment spacing of the second lug attachment from the jaw pivot;
• a first handle pivotably attached to the first lug attachment by a first handle pivot lying perpendicular to the pivot plane, so that the first handle is pivotable about the jaw mechanism in the pivot plane between a fully folded position wherein the first handle lies adjacent to the jaw mechanism and an unfolded position;
• and
• a second handle pivotably attached to the second lug attachment by a second handle pivot lying perpendicular to the pivot plane, so that the second handle is pivotable about the jaw mechanism in the pivot plane between a fully folded position wherein the second handle lies adjacent to the first handle and an unfolded position, wherein the second handle comprises
• a first side,
• a second side parallel to but spaced apart from the first side, there being no web connecting the first side and the second side,
• a second-handle pivot pin extending between the first side and the second side at a location remote from the first lug attachment, and
• at least one implement pivotably supported on the second-handle pivot pin, each implement being pivotable in the pivot plane between a closed position wherein the implement lies between the first side and the second side and an open position wherein the implement is extended from the second handle.

A folding combination tool comprising:

• a jaw mechanism including
• a first jaw piece having a first lug attachment,
• a second jaw piece having a second lug attachment, and
• a jaw pivot that joins the first jaw piece and the second jaw piece so that the first jaw piece and the second jaw piece may pivot with respect to each other in a pivot plane;
• a first handle pivotably attached to the first lug attachment by a first handle pivot lying perpendicular to the pivot plane, so that the first handle is pivotable about the jaw mechanism in the pivot plane between a fully folded position wherein the first handle lies adjacent to the jaw mechanism and an unfolded position;
• and
• a second handle pivotably attached to the second lug attachment by a second handle pivot lying perpendicular to the pivot plane, so that the second handle is pivotable about the jaw mechanism in the pivot plane between a fully folded position wherein the second handle lies adjacent to the first handle and an unfolded position, the second handle comprising a first side and a second side parallel to but spaced apart from the first side, and wherein
• the jaw mechanism is asymmetrically positioned with respect to the first handle and the second handle when the first handle and the second handle are in their fully folded positions, and wherein the jaw mechanism lies at least in part between the first side and the second side of the second handle when the first handle and the second handle are in their fully folded positions.

A folding combination tool comprising:

• a jaw mechanism including
• a first jaw piece having a first lug attachment,
• a second jaw piece having a second lug attachment, and
• a jaw pivot that joins the first jaw piece and the second jaw piece so that the first jaw piece and the second jaw piece may pivot with respect to each other in a pivot plane, wherein
• a first lug attachment spacing of the first lug attachment from the jaw pivot is greater than a second lug attachment spacing of the second lug attachment from the jaw pivot;
• a first handle pivotably attached to the first lug attachment by a first handle pivot lying perpendicular to the pivot plane, so that the first handle is pivotable about the jaw mechanism in the pivot plane;
• and
• a second handle pivotably attached to the second lug attachment by a second handle pivot lying perpendicular to the pivot plane, so that the second handle is pivotable about the jaw mechanism in the pivot plane, wherein the second handle comprises
• a first side,
• a second side, and
• a post structure holding the first side and the second side in a parallel but spaced apart relationship, there being no web extending between the first side and the second side.
