Patent ID: 8544370

Claim:
A handle-operated tool with a multi-function tool tip, for adjusting and maintaining different irrigation-related products made by one or more manufacturers, the tool comprising: a single-shaft tool made of a rigid durable material, having configured at a first end a handle, and configured proximate to an opposite, second end of the single-shaft tool a multi-function tool tip comprising two generally planar members each extending outwardly from an opposite side of the single-shaft tool wherein, leading-edge portions of the two generally planar members are sized to fit rotatably within and centeredly align the multi-function tool tip in a plurality of axes when in contact with an annular conical recessed surface of a first irrigation-related product; and wherein trailing-edge portions of the two generally planar members are sized in thickness and width for insertion through an adjustment port of, and for engaging one or more interior portions of, a spring-loaded slidably positionable member of a second irrigation-related product, wherein the shape of the adjustment port is generally round, or round and incorporating opposite, outwardly-extending transverse slot portions; opposite outer leading-edge portions of the two generally planar members having a tapered or curved contour sized and shaped to facilitate an aligning of the multi-function tool tip end as the leading-edge portions of the planar members (a.) come into contact with the annular conical recessed surface of the first irrigation-related product, or (b.) are being inserted into the adjustment port of the second irrigation-related product; a screw adjustment member located between opposite leading-edge portions of the two generally planar members of the single-shaft tool, an end of the screw adjustment member sized for engagement within a screw drive located in an upper portion of a screw-head of a rotatable water-spray adjustment screw coaxially located and rotatably operable within the annular conical recessed surface of said first irrigation-related product; and, the opposite trailing-edge portions of the two generally planar members configured to engage one or more interior portions of said spring-loaded slidably-positionable member of the second irrigation-related product, wherein: an insertion of the tool tip through said round and slotted adjustment port of the slidably-positionable member, a rotating of the trailing-edge portions of both planar members out of alignment with the transverse slot portions of the adjustment port, and a pulling of the tool in a direction opposite of the insertion direction, provides selective positioning of the slidably-positionable member.
