Patent attributes
A tool assembly primarily for illuminating a work space having a plurality of tools each of which having both a proximal and distal end for providing rotational movement of each of the tools for extension to at least one functional position and a distal end for use of the tool in the work space, and a stored position when not in use; in which one of said tools means is a flashlight means for illuminating at least the work space and at least one other said tools at the proximal end. The assembly further has a gripping, extension and containment portion within the assembly for engaging the tool and for providing pivotal positioning of the tools from the functional position through to the stored position; at least two non-vertically coplanar hinge pins for pivotal engagement of each of the tools from the stored position through the functional position; such that when the tools are pivoted to at least one aligned functional position the tools are substantially parallel and vertically coplanar and when the tools are pivoted to a stored position the tools are substantially contained within the assembly in a parallel, co-vertically planar arrangement by way of recesses in the said gripping, extension and containment portion; the gripping, extension and containment portion further has an arcuately sloped surface means for ergonomic and useful functioning, for wresting the flashlight or a thumb when in use.
