Spreading tool

摘要

A spreading tool comprises a first arm having a pivot end and an engagement end and a second arm having a pivot end and an engagement end. A connector combines the pivot end of the first arm with the pivot end of the second arm for rotational movement between a closed position and an open position. A handle is combined to the second arm and positioned apart from the connector so that the connector is positioned between the handle and the engagement end of the first arm and the engagement end of the second arm for the entire path of travel between the open and closed positions.

1. A spreading tool comprising:
a first arm having a pivot end and an engagement end; a second arm having a pivot end and an engagement end; a connector combining the pivot end of the first arm with the pivot end of the second arm to allow rotational movement of the second arm with respect to the first arm between a closed and open position; a handle combined to the second arm, wherein the handle extends longitudinally with respect to the second arm; and an axis extending through the connector, and wherein the handle rotates counter clockwise around the axis as the second arm rotates with respect to the first arm to the open position, wherein the first arm further comprises an elbow between the pivot end and the engagement end, and the second arm further comprises an elbow between the pivot end and the engagement end, wherein the elbow on the first end and the elbow on the second end cooperate to position the connector in the open position from a plan view perspective in front of the engagement end of the first arm and the engagement of the second arm.
