ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of Invention
The present invention relates to a tool kit for bicycles.
2. Related Prior Art
Taiwan Patent Publication No. 437546 discloses a tool kit for bicycles. It includes a body
10
with a small face and a large face. Several cavities
101
are defined in the small face of the body
10
, and several hexagonal cavities
17
and
171
are defined in the large face of the body
10
. A cover
132
is pivotally mounted on the small face of the body
10
. The cover
132
can be moved between a closing position and an opening position. Several tool bits
131
can be stored in the cavities
101
. In this case, the cover
132
is moved to the closing position so as to close the cavities
101
, thus retaining the tool bits
131
in the cavities
101
. The cover
132
can be moved to the opening position so as to open the cavities
101
, thus allowing removal of the tool bits
131
from the cavities
101
. The tool bits
131
can be inserted in the hexagonal cavities
17
and
171
. Thus, a user can rotate the body
10
in order to rotate the tool bits
131
for driving a screw or bolt. However, the cover
132
causes trouble for removal of the tool bits
131
from the cavities
101
. Furthermore, the cover
132
increases the width of the large face of the body
10
to an extent too large for a user to hold the cover
132
with comfort.
The present invention is therefore intended to obviate or at least alleviate the problems encountered in prior art.
SUMMARY OF INVENTION
It is the primary objective of the present invention to provide a tool kit including a body and a tool bit movable between various positions relative to the body.
According to the present invention, a tool kit includes a body, a socket and a positioning device. The body includes a first end, a second end and a chamber defined therein. The socket is used for holding a tool bit. The socket is pivotally connected with the first end of the body. The positioning device selectively can retain the socket in one of several positions relative to the body. The positioning device may include a boss formed on the first end of the body and a plurality of recesses defined in an internal face of the socket.
