ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a tool, and more particularly to a tool combination for receiving a number of tool members.
2. Description of the Prior Art
The applicant has developed various kinds of screw driver handles having a space for receiving the tool members. One of the typical tools is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,704,260 to Huang and comprises only one chamber for receiving the tool members. The number of the tool members that may be received in the tool handle is limited.
The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the afore-described disadvantages of the conventional tools.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a tool combination including a structure for receiving a number of tool members.
In accordance with one aspect of the invention, there is provided a tool combination comprising a housing including an interior having a partition provided therein and provided in a middle portion thereof for separating the interior of the housing into two separated chambers, the housing including a plurality of hubs extended from the partition and extended inward of each of the chambers thereof, the housing including two ends, a plurality of tool members received in the hubs of the housing, and two caps detachably secured to the ends of the housing respectively. At least one of the caps includes an engaging hole formed therein for receiving the tool members and for driving the tool members.
The housing includes a tubular member formed therein and extended through the partition of the housing, and a driving stem received in the tubular member of the housing. The housing includes at least one engaging hole formed therein for receiving the tool members and for driving the tool members.
The ends of the housing each includes a shoulder formed therein, the caps each includes a peripheral flange extended therefrom and engaged into the chambers of the housing respectively and engaged with the shoulders of the housing respectively for securing the caps to the housing. The caps each includes a plurality of ribs extended therefrom for engaging with the tool members and for retaining the tool members in the housing when the caps are secured onto the housing. The caps each includes a stop extended therefrom for engaging with the driving stem and for retaining the driving stem in the housing when the caps are secured onto the housing.
Further objectives and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from a careful reading of a detailed description provided hereinbelow, with appropriate reference to accompanying drawings.
