T 60% whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, HENRY SO MIDT and VICTOR ISKIYAN, residing at Oollegepoint, in the county of Queens and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combination-Tools, of which the following is a specification. I

Our invention has reference to combinationtools, especially adapted for use by bicyclists, chaffeurs, and machinists, and has for its objects to provide in one simple and effective combination a wrench for square, hexagonal, and other nuts, means for cutting and coiling wire, a plier, a knife and screw-driver, a tirecleaner, and a spoke-wrench, all such parts being arranged in a light and compact form, so as to be conveniently carried in the pocket, while at the same time the tool is strongly built and can be readily handled.

Tothis end our invention consists, essentially, in a combination-toolcomprisingahandle having a longitudinal passage-way and provided with a stepped end, a slide provided at one end with a jaw having the faces adjacent to the ends of the handle matching said end on the handle for the purpose of forming at one end of the tool wrench-sockets and at the other end with a jaw provided with a pliersurface and a shear-surface, and a plier-lever pivoted to the handle and cooperating with the latter surfaces for the severance of wire and the holding of material.

Our invention consists inother novel features of construction, as hereinafter more fully pointed out in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 represents a side elevation of a combination-tool embodying our invention, part of the handle being broken away. Fig. 2 is a similar view taken from the opposite side of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of a handle. Fig. 4 is a side elevation of a slide. Fig. 5 is a transverse section on the line 5 5, Fig. 1'. Fig. 6 is similar section on the line 6 6, Fig. 1. Fig. 7 is a side view of the knife and screw-driver blade.

Similar letters and numerals of reference designate corresponding parts thoughout the several views of the drawings.

Referring to the drawings, the letter A des- Serial No. 118,546. (No model.)

One end of the handle A is provided with a projection (0, having one of its surfaces, 2, at right angles to the end of the handle, while its opposite surface, 3, extends obliquely or is inclined to the end of the handle, thus providing the handle with a stepped end. At the corresponding end the slide B is provided with a jaw 0, having similar surfaces& and 5, as best seen in Figs. 1, 2, and 3, the parts described forming sockets d and cZ, adapted, respectively, for square and hexagonal nuts of any size within the limits of the wrench. The other end of the handle is provided with longitudinal extensions 6 for the guidance of a jaw 0, having thereon a plier-surface 7, pro' vided with a longitudinal groove 8 and with a transverse groove 9. To the handle A is pivoted at 10 a plier-lever D, provided with a plier-surfaoe 11, extending in the direction of the length of the surface 7 and having a transverse groove 12, matching the transverse groove in said surface. When the slide B is in the position shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the jaw 0, in combination with the plier-lever D, is retained in its normal position by having its free end provided with a nib adapted to engage with a shallow socket 14 formed in the handle A. On the handle is also formed, preferably at the end adjacent to the jaw c, a wirecoiling prong 15. This may be formed by recessing the handle, as shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 3, and then rounding up the projecting parts. In practice, as shown in Fig. l, we make the slide B in two parts suitably joined for the purpose of enabling its insertion into the handle, although the handle may be made in two plagts and joined after the insertion of a solid s 1 e. v

We also provide a reversible blade E, comprising a knife-blade 16 and a screw-driver blade 17 adapted to be removably attached to the projection 6 of the handle A in any suitable rnanner as, for instance, by means of the clamping-screw 18 entering said projectionand said projection being slotted longitudinally for firmlyholding the blade in either position.

We furthermore provide the handle A at or near the end adjacent to the jaw c with pins 20 and 21, and the said jaws are also provided with similar pins 22 and 23, arranged opposite to the pins aforesaid for the purpose of forming spanners for the setting of cones in bicycles. These pins may be formed by round and square headed screws, as shown in the drawings. For a like purpose we provide the plier with a hooked end 24:, adapted to engage with the recesses or notches in the cone.

The knifeblade 16 is also preferably provided either on its back or side with a file 25. In the handle A we also form a substantially semicircular depression 30, adapted for the purpose of cleaning tires by placing the same against the tire and turning the wheel. We also form in the slideB a circular depression 81, which, in connection with the jaw c and the handle A, forms a wrench for halfround nuts.

What we claim as new is l. A combinationtool comprising a handle having a longitudinal passage-way and provided with a stepped end, and a slide provided with jaws, the faces of one matching one end of the handle for the purpose of forming different wrench-sockets on opposite sides, and the other jaw being provided with a plier-surface, and a plier-lever pivoted to the handle and cooperating with the plier-surface for the holding of metal, substantially as described.

2. A combination-tool comprising a handle having a longitudinal passage-way and pro vided with a stepped end, a slide provided with jaws, the faces of one matching one end of the handle for the purpose of forming different wrench-sockets on opposite sides, and said jaw containing a tapered socket for small nuts, and the other jaw being provided with a plier-surface, and a plier-lever pivoted to the handle and cooperating with the plier-sur face for the holding of metal, substantially as described.

3. A combination tool comprising a handle having a longitudinal passage-way and pro- Vided with a stepped end, a slide provided with jaws, the faces of one matching one end of the handle for the purpose of forming diffe'rent wrench-sockets on opposite sides, and said jaw containing a tapered socket for small nuts, and the other jaw being provided with a plier and cutting surface, a plier-lever pivoted to the handle and cooperating with the plier and cutting surface for the holding and severance of metal, substantially as described.

4. A combination-tool comprising a handle having longitudinal passage-way and provided with a stepped end, a slide provided at one end with a jaw having its face adjacent to the ends of the handle matching said end of the handle for the purpose of forming wrenchsockets, and transversely-projecting pins secured in the handle and in the jaw for the purpose of forming an adjustable spanner, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof we have hereunto set our hands in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
