Tool handle
First Claim
1. A tool handle for receiving a plurality of L-key wrenches of varying sizes comprising:
- an elongated axle member;
first and second generally-cylindrical members each having a central bore for receiving the axle member, the first and second generally-cylindrical members being mounted end-to-end on the axle member for independent rotational movement with respect thereto, each of the first and second generally-cylindrical members having an elongated slot along the length thereof and a plurality of through bores of varying size spaced radially from the central bore and adapted to receive the shank portion of an L-key wrench; and
first and second end caps secured to the elongated axle member, both the first and second end caps having a slot therein and being rotatable with respect to the first and second generally-cylindrical members so that the slots in the end caps are selectively alignable with the slot and radially-spaced through bores in its adjacent generally-cylindrical member, whereby the slot in an end cap may be selectively aligned with either one of the radially-spaced through bores in the adjacent generally-cylindrical member to permit a hex key to be secured therein or with the slot in the adjacent generally-cylindrical member to permit a L-key wrench to be secured in the other generally-cylindrical member.

Abstract
A tool handle for receiving L-key wrenches of various sizes including an elongated axle member and first and second generally-cylindrical members, each cylindrical member having a central bore for receiving the elongated axle member. The first and second cylindrical members are mounted in end-to-end relationship on the axle member, and each is rotatable independently both with respect to the other cylindrical member and to the axle. Each of the first and second cylindrical members has an elongated slot along its length and a plurality of through bores of varying size spaced radially from the central bore and adapted to receive the shank portion of an L-key. First and second end caps are secured to the elongated axle, and both the first and second end caps have a slot therein corresponding in shape to the elongated slot on its adjacent cylindrical member. The end caps are rotatable with respect to the first and second cylindrical members so that the slots in the end caps can be selectively aligned with the slot and radially-spaced through bores in its adjacent cylindrical member.
