Abstract:
1. A multipurpose tool comprising: a plurality of handles configured for relative movement between a closed position and an open position, wherein the plurality of handles comprise a first handle defining a longitudinal axis between opposite ends of the first handle and comprising opposed sidewalls and a floor extending between the opposed sidewalls; a plurality of tool members carried by at least a first handle and foldable into the first handle such that the tool members are configured for movement through a first open side of the first handle, opposite the floor, between a stowed position and an open position, wherein the plurality of tool members are disposed alongside one another in a stowed position so as to define a composite tool profile, wherein the floor of the first handle includes a web extending between the opposed sidewalls and at least partially defines an opening having a shape that corresponds to the composite tool profile so as to expose distal ends of two or more tools at respective distances from an end of the first handle, wherein the floor includes a first portion of the floor that extends between the opposed sidewalls on a first end of the plurality of tool members, the first portion including an edge facing the opening that is nonlinear and that defines at least one longitudinally extending notch configured to expose a respective tool member, wherein another handle component is disposed within the first handle and extends between the opposed sidewalls, the other handle component being disposed on a second end of the plurality of tool members, longitudinally opposite the first end, so as to cooperate with the first portion of the floor to define the opening having the shape that corresponds to the composite tool profile, and wherein the plurality of tool members are accessible through the opening but are limited to being unfolded to the open position through the first open side of the first handle, opposite the floor.
