Abstract

A bar tool set and support platform. The platform module has a form factor and appearance of a partially disassembled replica of a riding vehicle such that the platform module has a seat tube and a head tube. At least one of the seat tube and the head tube has an open end defining a receiving space for receiving one or more of the bar tools. A wheel frame member is attached to one of the head tube and seat tube and defines a mounting region. At least a coaster or a strainer is configured for mounting to the mounting region. The bar tool has a corkscrew or container opener. The corkscrew has a corkscrew working end which can seat in the open end, and a handle end configured as handlebars positioned above the open end. When one of the coaster and strainer is received in the mounting region, the replica of the riding vehicle is substantially presented.

Claims

1. A bar tool assembly, comprising:

a platform module adapted for housing a bar tool set on a substantially flat surface, the platform module having a form factor and appearance of a partially disassembled replica of a riding vehicle, the platform module having a seat tube and a head tube, at least one of the seat tube and the head tube having an open end and defining a receiving space therein, and at least one wheel frame member attached to one of the head tube and seat tube and defining a mounting region;

at least one of a coaster and a strainer configured for removable mounting to the mounting region of the wheel frame member; and

at least one of a corkscrew and a container opener, the corkscrew having a corkscrew working end configured for removable engagement with the open end, and a handle end configured as one of a seat and handlebars positioned above the open end when the working end is received in the open end, the container opener having a stem configured for removable engagement with the open end, and a container opener working end configured as the other one of the seat and handlebars positioned above the open end when the stem is received in the open end, wherein, when the at least one of the coaster and strainer is received in the mounting region, the replica of the riding vehicle is substantially presented.

2. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the seat tube has the open end for receiving the stem of the container opener.

3. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the head tube has the open end for receiving the working end of the corkscrew.

4. The assembly of claim 1, wherein at least one wheel frame member comprises a front wheel frame member and a rear wheel frame member, and wherein each wheel frame member has at least one mounting region.

5. The assembly of claim 4, wherein the strainer is removably mounted to the mounting region of the front wheel frame member.

6. The assembly of claim 5, wherein the front wheel frame member is directly attached to the head tube, and the rear wheel frame member is indirectly attached to the seat tube.

7. The assembly of claim 4, wherein each mounting region is defined at least in part by a plurality of brackets attached to the wheel frame member and extending out the word therefrom.

8. The assembly of claim 2, wherein the coaster is removably mounted to the mounting region of the rear wheel frame member.

9. The assembly of claim 2, wherein the rear wheel frame member comprises two mounting regions, one on either side of the rear wheel frame member, and wherein the coaster comprises two coasters, each one removably mounted to a respective one of the mounting regions of the rear wheel frame member.

10. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the mounting region is defined at least in part by a plurality of brackets attached to the wheel frame member and extending out the word therefrom.

11. The assembly of claim 1, further comprising a support loop attached to the head tube and defining a receiving area, and a jigger removably receivable in the receiving area.

12. The assembly of claim 1, further comprising a down the tube attached at an end to the head tube, the down tube supporting a holder.
