Patent ID: 8413556

Claim:
A combination comprising: a tire tool; a tool set; a proximal end of the tire tool including two connecting lugs extending therefrom and each including an abutting edge, with one connecting lug opposed to and spaced from the other, with a distal end of the tire tool including a working section defined thereon, with the tire tool including a longitudinal length extending from the proximal end to the distal end, and wherein the two connecting lugs define a width extending in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the tire tool; and a housing member including two plates connected to each other in a spaced relationship, with one plate separated from the other in a first direction, with the two plates including a space defined therebetween and defining first and second openings, with the first opening opposite to the second opening in a second direction transverse to the first direction, with each plate including a stopping edge extending towards but spaced from the other plate and corresponding to a corresponding abutting edge, and with a fixing device extending between and engaging with the two plates; wherein the tire tool is connected to the fixing device on the housing member by connecting the two connecting lugs to the fixing device and is operably pivotal about a pivot axis between a retracted position with the tire tool disposed in the first opening and between the two plates of the housing member and an exposed position with the tire tool disposed outside the two plates of the housing member; and wherein the housing member is gripped as a handle during operation the tire tool; and wherein the tool set comprises a plurality of tools pivotally connected to the fixing device and disposed between the two plates of the housing member, with each tool including a proximal end and a distal end and extending longitudinally from the proximal end to the distal end, with the proximal end of each tool including a connecting end formed for pivotally connecting each tool to the fixing device, with the distal end of each tool including a driving end formed for performing a specific procedure, with each tool operably pivotal about the pivot axis between a retracted position disposed in the second opening and the space of the housing member and an exposed position disposed outside the second opening and the space.
