ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a tool combination with an illumination device for providing illumination when required.
2. Description of the Related Art
Screwdrivers have existed for a long time. In some cases the user needs illumination when loosening or tightening screws, and it is inconvenient for the user to carry the screwdrivers and a flashlight or the like. The present invention is intended to provide a tool combination to solve this problem.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In accordance with a first aspect of the invention, a tool combination comprises:
a main body including a compartment defined therein;
a tool bit holder formed on the main body;
a tool bit carrier removably mounted in the compartment, the tool bit carrier carrying at least one tool bit that is releasably held by the tool bit holder; and
a cap releasably attached to the tool bit holder for enclosing the tool bit holder.
In accordance with a second aspect of the invention, a tool combination comprises:
a main body including a compartment defined therein;
an illumination device carrier removably mounted in the compartment;
an illumination device carried by the illumination device carrier for providing illumination; and
a switch for controlling on/off of the illumination device.
In accordance with a third aspect of the invention, a tool combination comprises:
a main body including a first compartment and a second compartment defined therein;
a tool bit holder formed on the main body;
a tool bit carrier removably mounted in the second compartment of the main body, the tool bit carrier carrying at least one tool bit that is releasably held by the tool bit holder;
a cap releasably attached to the tool bit holder for enclosing the tool bit holder;
an illumination device carrier removably mounted in the first compartment;
an illumination device carried by the illumination device carrier for providing illumination; and
a switch for controlling on/off of the illumination device.
The tool combination in accordance with the present invention provides at least one compartment for receiving an illumination device carrier for providing illumination and/or for receiving a tool bit carrier that carries a plurality of different tool bits. The main body of the tool combination is constructed as a bottle and thus may be used as an ornament when not in functional use. The tool bits are stored for safety purpose. The illumination device may be used as a single unit in addition to direct illumination for the tool main body.
Other objects, advantages, and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
