Multi-tool with artificial key and LED

摘要

A faux key tool and light device has a head assembly and a faux key blade assembly. The head assembly has a head housing with a battery compartment, a lens opening and an actuating button opening. The faux key blade assembly has a pair of flat, opposing spaced walls having opposing edges with faux key teeth, and a knife blade pivotally mounted between the spaced walls.

主权项

1. A faux key tool and illuminating device having a longitudinal direction and comprising:
a key head assembly having a lateral direction transverse to the longitudinal direction and including:
a key head housing comprising:
a set of housing walls defining relatively wide, generally flat key head housing exterior surfaces and a housing interior;a battery compartment in said housing interior and being configured to hold at least one cell battery in a compact relationship, each of said at least one cell battery having opposing cell battery flat surfaces, said battery compartment holding said at least one battery with the opposing cell battery flat surface being parallel to said generally flat head housing exterior surfaces;a lens opening for a lens for sending lumination in a lumination path;an LED-with-lens compartment for holding an LED-with lens; andan actuating button opening for rendering an actuating button accessible; and a faux key blade housing comprising; a pair of opposing, generally flat elongated walls extending longitudinally from said key head housing in the opposite direction of the longitudinal lumination path, in an opposing relationship, said elongated walls being spaced from each other defining a blade-receiving space therebetween, said elongated walls having a lateral dimension less than the lateral dimension of said housing walls to assist in making said device have the appearance of a motor vehicle key, said elongated walls each having opposing longitudinally extending edges with free ends distal from said head assembly and the opposing respective edges of one of said elongated walls opposing a respective edge of the other of said elongated walls to form two pairs of opposing edges, at least one of said pairs of opposing edges having faux key teeth; and a single knife blade pivot between said pair of opposing generally flat elongated walls proximal said distal free ends; and a knife blade mounted on said single pivot for pivotal movement between said pair of opposing generally flat elongated walls, said knife blade comprising a cutting edge exposed for a cutting operation when said knife blade is in the open position and unexposed for a cutting operation when said knife blade is in the closed position; said battery compartment and said LED-with-lens compartment being longitudinally spaced and separated from said flat elongated walls and said knife blade when in the closed position to assist in rendering said key head assembly thin and to give the device the appearance of a motor vehicle key; said key head housing functioning as a handle and being manually engageable to apply force to said knife blade when said knife is in the open position to obtain sufficient torque on said knife blade to enable said cutting edge to perform a cutting operation.
