ABSTRACT:
A multiple purpose pocket tool having an elongated housing defining an open cavity, a plurality of elongated ancillary tools pivotally attached to one end of the housing at their proximal ends, and an elongated cover plate pivotally attached to the opposite end of the housing. Each of the ancillary tools includes a slot formed transversely across the top and bottom edges thereof, adjacent their proximal ends. The cover plate includes a downwardly extending flange which engages one of the slots formed in each of the tools when positioned in its terminal closed position, thereby locking the tools in place. The cover plate further includes a protrusion formed on the inwardly facing surface of one of its sidewalls which engages an aperture formed through the corresponding sidewall of the housing when in either its terminal open or closed position, thereby locking the cover plate in such position.
