Abstract

A toolkit includes a frame, at least one tool set and a chain tool. The tool set is pivotally connected with the frame. The chain tool is attached to the frame in a detachable manner. The chain tool is located in the frame in a manner that it supports the frame.

Claims

1. A toolkit comprising a frame, wherein the frame comprises a first lateral member, a second lateral member and two bolts provided between the first lateral member and the second lateral member;

at least one tool set pivotally connected with one of the two bolts of the frame; and

a chain tool is tightened and detachably attached to the frame intermediate the two bolts and between the first and second lateral members, wherein the chain tool is located in the frame in order to support the frame, wherein the first lateral member is kept from the second lateral member by the chain tool.

2. The toolkit according to claim 1 wherein the chain tool comprises a holder for holding a link of a chain and a screw installed on the holder in a rotational and movable manner for pushing a pin from the link of the chain, wherein the first lateral member is kept from the second lateral member by the holder.

3. The toolkit according to claim 2 further comprising an aperture having an annular periphery and formed in the second lateral member, wherein the screw can be driven in the holder through the aperture of the second lateral member and not removable from the holder when driven in the holder in order to keep the holder between the first lateral member and the second lateral member.

4. The toolkit according to claim 2 with the screw including a knob including multiple, radially extending lobes so as to be manually rotated, with the knob further including a recess for receiving a tool of the at least one tool set.

5. The toolkit according to claim 2 wherein the holder comprises a block formed thereon, wherein the first lateral member comprises a recess defined in a side for receiving the block when moved perpendicular to a plane including the two bolts.

6. The toolkit according to claim 5 further comprising an aperture having an annular periphery and formed in the second lateral member, wherein the screw can be driven in the holder through the aperture of the second lateral member and not removable from the holder when driven in the holder in order to keep the holder between the first lateral member and the second lateral member.

7. The toolkit according to claim 6 further comprising another tool set pivotally connected with the other of the two bolts of the frame, with the chain tool sandwiched between the at least one tool set and other tool set when the tool sets are pivoted about the bolts in a folded position.

8. The toolkit according to claim 7 wherein the chain tool comprises a driving element for driving the bolts.

9. The toolkit according to claim 1 wherein the frame comprises two nuts engaged with the bolts.

10. The toolkit according to claim 9 wherein the nuts are secured to the second lateral member.

11. The toolkit according to claim 10 wherein the second lateral member comprises two recesses defined in a side thereof, wherein the nuts are fit in the recesses.

12. The toolkit according to claim 10 wherein the chain tool comprises a driving element for driving the bolts.

13. The toolkit according to claim 12 wherein the driving element is pivotally connected with the chain tool.

14. The toolkit according to claim 1 further comprising another tool set pivotally connected with the other of the two bolts of the frame, with the chain tool sandwiched between the at least one tool set and the other tool set when the tool sets are pivoted about the bolts in a folded position.

15. A toolkit comprising a frame, a first tool set pivotally connected with the frame about a first axis, a second tool set pivotally connected with the frame about a second axis spaced from and parallel to the first axis, and a chain tool detachably attached to the frame, wherein the chain tool is sandwiched between the first tool set and the second tool set when the first and second tool sets are pivoted about the first and second axes in a folded position.

16. The toolkit according to claim 15 with the chain tool located intermediate the first and second axes when sandwiched between the first and second tool sets.

17. The toolkit according to claim 16 wherein the chain tool comprises a holder for holding a link of a chain and a screw installed on the holder in a rotational and movable manner for pushing a pin from the link of the chain, wherein the frame includes an aperture having an annular periphery, with the screw extending through the aperture and installed in the holder when the chain tool is sandwiched between the first tool set and the second tool set and not being removable from the aperture when installed in the holder.

18. A toolkit comprising a frame, wherein the frame comprises a first lateral member, a second lateral member and a bolt provided between the first lateral member and the second lateral member;

a tool set pivotally connected with the bolt of the frame; and

a chain tool for pushing a pin from a link of a chain, with the chain tool detachably attached to the frame between the first and second lateral members, wherein the chain tool comprises a driving element for driving the bolt, wherein the driving element is pivotally connected with the chain tool.

19. The toolkit according to claim 18 wherein the chain tool is located in the frame in order to support the frame when attached to the frame.

20. The toolkit according to claim 18 further comprising another bolt provided between the first and second lateral members and spaced from the first bolt;

and another tool set pivotally connected to the other bolt; and

wherein the chain tool is sandwiched between the tool set and the other tool set when pivoted about the bolts into a folded position.
