Title: Bolt action tool

Description:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
     The present disclosure relates generally to the field of tools and hardware. More specifically, the present disclosure describes a bolt action tool. 
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     Tools have been used by humans since the stone age for various tasks and purposes. 
     Hand tools are useful for daily tasks. Different types of tools which may be used for any kind of task to be performed exist. Some tools are versatile and may be used for various tasks, while some are function specific and limited to individual tasks. 
     However, tools may sometimes not be handy and portable enough to carry around comfortably. Further, many tools may need to be simply carried around without protective covers leading to potential injury. 
     Further, dispensing mechanisms associated with tools may not be versatile enough to allow carrying of multiple tools, and multiple types of tools simultaneously in a single housing. 
     Therefore, there is a need for an improved bolt action knife that may overcome one or more of the above-mentioned problems and/or limitations.

Further, the biasing element  1624  may be characterized by a resting state corresponding to an absence of a force acting upon the biasing element  1624  and an energized state corresponding to a presence of a force acting upon the biasing element  1624 . Further, the biasing element  1624  may be configured to maintain the tool assembly in the retracted position while the biasing element  1624  may be in the resting state. 
     In some embodiments, the lateral cut-away  1612  may include a curled portion configured to lock the bolt  1620  against a restoring action of the biasing element  1624  thereby maintaining the tool assembly in the extended position. 
       FIG. 19  is an exploded view of an exemplary bolt action tool  1800 , according to some embodiments. The bolt action tool may include a housing  1802  including a housing longitudinal body  1804  including a housing longitudinal bore (not shown). Further, the housing longitudinal body  1804  may include a first housing opening  1806 . Further, the housing longitudinal bore may be contiguous with the first housing opening  1806 . Further, the housing longitudinal body  1804  may include a groove  1808  including a longitudinal cut-away  1810  and a lateral cut-away  1812 . Further, the lateral cut-away  1812  may be contiguous with the longitudinal cut-away  1810 . Further, the bolt action tool may include a tool assembly. Further, the tool assembly may include an assembly longitudinal body  1814  configured to be accommodated within the housing longitudinal bore. Further, the tool assembly may be configured to slide between a retracted position and an extended position within the housing longitudinal bore. Further, the tool assembly may include a blade  1816  attached to an assembly end  1818  of the assembly longitudinal body  1814 . Further, at least a portion of the blade  1816  may be configured to extend out through the first housing opening  1806  corresponding to the tool assembly being in the extended position, as shown in  FIG. 23 . Further, the blade  1816  may be configured to be retracted into the housing longitudinal bore corresponding to the tool assembly being in the retracted position. Further, the tool assembly may include a bolt  1820  configured to be attached to the assembly longitudinal body  1814 . Further, the bolt  1820  may include a protruding body extending from a first bolt end  1822  to a second bolt end  1824 . Further, the second bolt end  1824  may be configured to be attached to the assembly longitudinal body  1814 . Further, the protruding body may be configured to traverse through each of the longitude cut-away and the lateral cut-away  1812 . Further, the bolt action tool may include a biasing element  1828  cooperatively coupled to each of the tool assembly and the housing. Further, the biasing element  1828  may be characterized by a resting state corresponding to an absence of a force acting upon the biasing element  1828  and an energized state corresponding to a presence of a force acting upon the biasing element  1828 . Further, the biasing element  1828  may be configured to maintain the tool assembly in the retracted position while the biasing element  1828  may be in the resting state. 
     In some embodiments, the lateral cut-away  1812  may include a curled portion configured to lock the bolt  1820  against a restoring action of the biasing element  1828  thereby maintaining the tool assembly in the extended position. 
     In some embodiments, the housing  1802  may include a housing end cap  1830  configured to be removably attached to one or more of the first housing opening and a second housing opening  1834  of the housing  1802 . 
     In some embodiments, the housing end cap  1830  may include external threads  1836  configured to mate with internal threads comprised in an interior wall corresponding to the second housing opening  1834 . 
     In some embodiments, the bolt action tool  1800  may further include a clip  1832  configured to be attached to the housing  1802 . Further, the clip  1832  may include a clip opening configured to receive at least a portion of the housing end cap  1830 .
