Abstract
An implement including a first tool having a first tool end in the form of a pig tail. The first tool includes an inwardly extending tab. A second tool is adjacent the first tool and has a second tool end adapted to receive a pin and includes a curved finger carried by the second tool end. A third tool is adjacent the second tool and has a third tool end which includes a sliding surface. A fourth tool is adjacent the third tool and has a fourth tool end which provides a ribbed interior surface adapted to engage a cap. Each tool is pivotally connected to a cylindrical retaining means, the tab selectively engaging the third tool, wherein when the tab engages the third tool, relative rotation is prevented.
Claims28
A brake maintenance implement comprising:
- a retainer;
- a first tool having a first tool end which is spiral shaped;
- a second tool having a second tool end adapted to receive a pin and including a curved outwardly extending finger;
- a third tool having a third tool end, said third tool end including a sliding surface, said sliding surface terminating in a downwardly curving lip;
- a fourth tool having a fourth tool end which provides an interior surface adapted to receive a cap;
- and
- wherein said tools are secured in a stacked orientation and each said tool being pivotally connected by said retainer,
- and wherein one of said first tool, second tool, third tool and fourth tool includes an inwardly projecting tab, said tab being adapted to selectively contact at least one of said other tools, whereby said tab limits rotation of said tool including said tab relative to at least one of said other tools.
An implement comprising:
- a first tool having a first tool end in the form of a pig tail, said first tool including an inwardly extending tab;
- a second tool adjacent said first tool and having a second tool end adapted to receive a pin and including a curved finger carried by said second tool end;
- a third tool adjacent said second tool and having a third tool end which includes a sliding surface;
- a fourth tool adjacent said third tool and having a fourth tool end which provides a ribbed interior surface adapted to engage a cap;
- and
- a retainer pivotally connecting said first, second, third and fourth tools, wherein said tab on said first tool selectively engages said third tool to limit rotation of said first tool relative to said third tool.
An implement comprising:
- a pig tail tool having an inwardly extending tab;
- a socket tool adjacent said pig tail tool;
- a return spring installer tool adjacent said socket tool;
- a retainer spring tool adjacent said return spring installer tool;
- and
- a retainer pivotally connecting said pig tail tool, said socket tool, said return spring installer tool and said retainer spring tool, wherein said tab on said pig tail tool selectively engages said return spring installer tool to limit rotation of said pig tail tool relative to said spring installer tool.
