1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a tool, and more particularly to a tool combination for viewsincludes include a securing device for securing the tool assemblies together such that the tool combination can be easily stored and carried.
As shown in FIG. 1, the first tool assembly includes a body 10 having a pair of ears 11, 12 extended therefrom. The ears 11, 12 each includes a hole 111, 121 formed therein for engaging with a bolt 21. The ear 12 includes a socket 122 for engaging with screws, bolts or nuts. The body 10 includes a dovetail slot 133 formed therein and includes a spanner 131 for engaging with the bicycle tire and for repairing the bicycle tire. The body 10 includes a cap 14 formed on one side portion and having a rib 141 (FIGS. 1 and 6) formed therein. A number of screw drivers 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 include one end rotatably engaged on the bolt 21 so as to form the first tool assembly. A number of washers 151, 161, 171, 181, 191, 201 are engaged on the bolt 21 and engaged between the screw drivers 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 respectively.
As shown in FIG. 2, the second tool assembly includes a block 30 having a pair of ears 31, 32 extended therefrom. The ears 31, 32 each includes a hole 311, 321 formed therein for engaging with a bolt 35. The block 30 includes a dovetail 33 formed therein for engaging with the dovetail slot 133 of the body 10 of the first tool assembly (FIG. 5) such that the first tool assembly and the second tool assembly may be secured together so as to form the tool combination. The block 30 includes a spanner 331 for engaging with the bicycle tire and for repairing the bicycle tire. The block 30 includes a housing 36 formed on one side portion and having a pin 362 (FIGS. 2, 3 and 6) pivotably secured therein. The pin 362 has two ends engaged in the holes 361 formed in the housing 36. A knob 37 has a center hole 371 formed therien therein for engaging with the pin 362 such that the knob 37 is rotatable about the pin 362. The knob 37 includes a projection 372 (FIGS. 2 and 6) formed thereon for engaging with the rib 141 of the body 10. A spring 363 is engaged on the pin 362 and is engaged between the block 30 and the knob 37 for biasing the projection 372 of the knob 37 to engage with the rib 141 of the body 10, such that the first tool assembly and the second tool assembly may be secured together.
Referring next to FIG. 7 and again to FIG. 2, the block 30 includes two orifices 332 formed therein for engaging with a pole 34 therein. A catch 38 includes an aperture 381 formed therein for engaging with the pole 34 such that the catch 38 is rotatable about the pole 34. The catch 38 includes a recess 382 formed therein for engaging with a spring 341. The catch 38 includes a groove 383 and a flange 384 formed therein. The spring 341 is engaged on the pole 34 and is engaged between the block 30 and the catch 38 for biasing the groove 383 and the flange 384 upward toward the ears 311, 321. A number of wrenches 46, 47, 48 and a screw driver 49 and a beam 40 are rotatably engaged on the bolt 35. The beam 40 includes a notch 42 formed therein for engaging with two screw drivers 44, 45 therein which are rotatably engaged on the bolt 35 so as to form the second tool assembly. A bolt 43 is threadedly engaged with the inner thread 44 440 of the beam 40 so as to form a typical tool for engaging with and for repairing chains of bicycles. The screw driver 49 includes two notches 492, 493 formed therein for engaging with and for repairing typical spokes. The wrenches 46, 47, 48 and the screw driver 49 each includes a cavity 461, 471, 481, 494 formed therein for engaging with the flange 384 of the catch 38. The spring 341 may bias the catch 38 for biasing the groove 383 and the flange 384 upward to engage with the cavities 461, 471, 481, 494 of the wrenches 46, 47, 48 and the screw driver 49, best shown in FIG.7, such that the wrenches 46, 47, 48 and the screw driver 49 may be retained in the opened or working position.
Accordingly, the tool combination in accordance with the present invention includes all of the required tools for fixing and repairing the bicycle. The tools are secured in two tool assemblies that may be secured together such that the tool combination can be easily stored and carried.
Although this invention has been described with a certain degree of particularity, it is to be understood that the present disclosure has been made by way of example only and that numerous changes in the detailed construction and the combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed.
