ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a handle, and more particularly to a tool handle combination.
2. Description of the Prior Art
The applicant has developed various kinds of tool handles. Three of which have been issued as U.S. Pat. No. 5,704,260 to Huang, and U.S. Pat. No. 5,782,150 to Huang, and U.S. Pat. No. 5,896,606 to Huang. The tool handles may be used for receiving the tool bits and sockets only, but have no space for receiving the other tools, such as the plier device.
The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the afore-described disadvantages of the conventional tool handles.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a tool handle combination including a space formed therein for receiving a plier device and including one or more sockets and/or one or more tool bits received therein.
In accordance with one aspect of the invention, there is provided a tool handle combination comprising a handle body including a base including an interior provided therein and a cover pivotally secured to the base for enclosing the interior of the base, at least one tool member, means for retaining the tool member in the handle body, and a tool received in the interior of the base.
The base includes a partition provided therein for separating the interior of the base into a first space and a second space for receiving the tool member and the tool respectively. The base includes a latch orifice formed therein, the cover includes a latch for engaging into the latch orifice of the base and for securing the cover to the base.
The handle body includes two end pieces, the base is secured between the end pieces of the handle body and includes a size smaller than that of the end pieces of the handle body for defining an opening between the end pieces of the handle body and for receiving the cover.
The cover includes at least one hole formed therein, the base includes at least one projection extended therefrom for engaging into the hole of the cover and for securing the cover to the base. The retaining means includes at least one retainer provided in the cover for securing and holding the tool member.
The tool may be a plier device, and preferably a foldable plier device. A driving stem is further attached to the handle body, and a block is secured on the driving stem and includes at least one aperture formed therein for receiving the tool member.
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.
