Das erfindungsgemäße Universalwerkzeug besteht aus einem Grundelement G und einem mit diesem in Verbindung gebrachten Zusatzelement Z (Fig. 1 und Fig. 2). Sowohl das Grundelement G als auch das Zusatzelement Z sind als multifunktionelle Werkzeuge ausgebildet und können auch unabhängig voneinander eingesetzt werden. Das Grundelement G besteht aus einem bogenförmigen Hebelteil 1, das mit einem Schlüsselteil 2 mittels eines Drehgelenkes 3 drehbeweglich verbunden ist. Das im wesentlichen quaderförmig ausgebildete Zusatzelement Z weist an seinem einen Ende ein Adapterstück 4 auf, das mit einer komplementären, sich an dem dem Hebelteil 1 abgewandten Ende des Schlüsselteils 2 befindlichen Aufnahme 4.1 eine form- und kraftschlüssige Verbindung eingehen kann. Dieses Adapterstück 4 ist dreieckig ausgebildet und weist ein Rasterelement e auf, das mit jeder der drei Seitenflächen der als tiefgezogenes Innendreieck ausgebildeten Aufnahme 4.1 einrastend in Eingriff bringbar ist (Fig. 3). Das im Beispiel kugelförmig ausgebildete Rasterelement e tritt dabei mit einer auf jeder Seitenfläche des Innendreiecks der Aufnahme 4.1 befindlichen Nut n in Eingriff. Dadurch kann die Verbindung des Grundelementes G mit dem Zusatzelement Z unabhängig von deren Stellung zueinander ohne Probleme hergestellt werden. Die Ecken des Innendreiecks der Aufnahme 4.1 weisen zudem eine Erweiterung in Form von Radien auf, wodurch vor allem der separate Einsatz des Zusatzelementes Z - ohne Grundelement G - vielseitig erfolgen kann. Möglich ist auch eine mehreckige oder runde Form des Adapterstücks 4 und der Aufnahme 4.1. Ist das Zusatzelement Z auf das Schlüsselteil 2 aufgesteckt, so stellt es eine Art Verlängerung des Grundelementes G in Richtung seiner Längsachse a dar, wodurch eine größere Krafteinwirkung aufgrund der besseren Hebelwirkung des Universalwerkzeuges erzielt wird. Das Zusatzelement Z weist mehrere Werkzeuge auf, die im wesentlichen auf der von dem Adapterstück 4 weg gerichteten Hälfte des Zusatzelementes Z angeordnet sind und jedes für sich wichtige Funktionen insbesondere bei Rettungseinsätzen wie der Insassenbergung aus Fahrzeugen erfüllen. So ist ein Steckschlüssel 5 sowohl für einen Außenvierkant als auch für einen Innenvierkant vorgesehen, der sich in der geschlossenen, eingeklappten Stellung innerhalb einer koaxial zur Längsachse a verlaufenden Nut 5.1 befindet und aus dem Zusatzelement Z herausklappbar ist (Fig. 6). In einer Stellung, die einem Winkel von 90° bzw. 180° zu dem eingeklappten Zustand des Steckschlüssels 5 entspricht, erfolgt seine durch Federkraft bewirkte Positionierung sowie die Fixierung innerhalb des Zusatzelementes Z. Benutzt wird der sowohl für Außenvierkant (vorzugsweise für Schlüsselweite 8 mm) als auch für Innenvierkant (vorzugsweise Schlüsselweite 10 mm) einsetzbare Steckschlüssel 5 beispielsweise zum zerstörungsfreien Öffnen von Sicherungsschränken, Schaltschränken etc. Eine handelsübliche Taschenlampe 6 - das kann beispielsweise ein LED-Element sein - ist in einer koaxial zur Längsachse a verlaufenden Ausnehmung 6.1, die zudem mit Griffmulden 6.2 zur besseren Bedienung der Taschenlampe 6 ausgestattet ist, ein- und ausschiebbar angeordnet. Die Taschenlampe 6 kann dabei in dem Zusatzelement Z fest eingebaut oder austauschbar angebracht sein. Um einen Winkel von 90° oder 180° aus einer weiteren Ausnehmung 7.1 des Zusatzelementes Z herausklappbar ist ein konischer Steckschlüssel 7 für einen Innenvierkant (vorzugsweise für Schlüsselweite 7-8 mm), der vorzugsweise zum Öffnen von Fensterwirbeln, Zugtüren etc. dient. Dabei sind Steckschlüssel 5, Taschenlampe 6 und Steckschlüssel 7 an unterschiedlichen Seiten auf der dem Adapterstück 4 abgewandten Hälfte des Zusatzelementes Z im geschlossenen Zustand jeweils koaxial zu der Längsachse a angeordnet. Das Ausklappen und die Positionierung in den ausgeklappten Stellungen der Steckschlüssel 5 und 7 erfolgt jeweils durch Federkraft, die beispielsweise mittels einer Blattfeder 14 verwirklicht wird. Dadurch ist eine einfache Bedienung auch mit Schutzhandschuhen möglich. Weiterhin ist eine Säge 8 in einem koaxial zur Längsachse a verlaufenden Schlitz 8.1 des Zusatzelementes Z um eine orthogonal zu dessen Längsachse a verlaufende Achse b drehbeweglich angeordnet. Diese Achse b befindet sich im vorderen, adapterstückseitigen Drittel des Zusatzelementes Z (Fig. 7). Die dem Heraustrennen von Verbundglasscheiben, wie Fahrzeugfrontscheiben, dienende Säge 8 ist in drei Stellungen mittels eines Fixierelementes 9, welches sich innerhalb einer Griffmulde 9.1 des Zusatzelementes Z befindet, einrastbar und fixierbar: in einer ersten, dem eingeklappten (geschlossenen) Zustand entsprechenden Endstellung und in einer zweiten dem vollständig ausgeklappten (geöffneten) Zustand entsprechenden Endstellung sowie in einer Zwischenstufe, in der sich die Säge 8 in einem definierten Winkel α zu der Längsachse a des Zusatzelementes Z befindet und die einer eine optimale Hebelwirkung verwirklichenden Arbeitsstellung entspricht. Es ist hierbei zu betonen, dass bei mit dem Grundelement G verbundenem Zusatzelement Z eine größere Hebelwirkung und ein günstigerer Krafteinsatz bei der Arbeit mit der Säge 8 möglich ist. Die optimale Hebelwirkung unterstützend ist die Säge 8 bogenförmig mit einem definierten Radius r ausgebildet. In der sich in einem definierten Winkel α zur Längsachse a befindenden Arbeitsstellung kann die Säge 8 nach dem "Büchsenöffnerprinzip" zum Heraustrennen von Glasscheiben genutzt werden (Fig. 8): Das der Aufnahme 4.1 abgewandte Ende des Zusatzelementes Z wird dabei in einem Auflagepunkt P auf die zu zersägende Verbundglasscheibe eines Kraftfahrzeuges aufgesetzt. Mit Schwenkbewegungen um den Auflagepunkt P wird eine Bewegung der Säge 8 nach unten - in die Verbundglasscheibe hinein - und eine Bewegung nach oben - aus der Scheibe heraus - erzielt. Dabei erfolgt bei der Bewegung der Säge 8 nach oben das Schneiden der Verbundglasscheibe. Die Bewegung der Säge 8 nach unten bewirkt eine Vorschubbewegung (zahnweise) in Schnittrichtung. Der Auflagepunkt P des Zusatzelementes Z verschiebt sich dabei in eine neue Fixstellung. Bei der nun folgenden Bewegung nach oben führt die Säge 8 wieder einen Schnitt durch. Die Bewegung der Säge 8 ist somit eine oszillierende Bewegung, die jeweils bei einem Schnitt eines Zahnes eine definierte Vorschubbewegung durchführt. Im geschlossenen Zustand befindet sich die Säge 8 in dem Schlitz 8.1 des auf dieser Seite ebenfalls bogenförmig ausgebildeten und damit der Form der Säge 8 angepassten Zusatzelementes Z. Dadurch ist eine sichere, ein Verletzungsrisiko ausschließende Aufnahme der Säge 8 gegeben. In dieser Endstellung reichen sowohl eine dem Einschlagen von Glasscheiben, vornehmlich Verbundglasscheiben, dienende Trümmerspitze 10 als auch ein beispielsweise dem Öffnen von Wandhydrantenschränken dienender Schlitzschlüssel 11, die beide an der Spitze der Säge 8 angeordnet sind, über den Außenumfang des Zusatzelementes Z hinaus, so dass diese Werkzeuge sowohl im geöffneten Zustand als auch bei eingeklappter Säge 8 einsetzbar sind. Das gleiche trifft auf eine, an der den Sägezähnen abgewandten Rückseite der Säge 8 befindliche, als Gurtschneider zum Aufschneiden und Trennen von Sicherheitsgurten oder anderer Verzurrungen vorgesehene, Messerklinge 12 zu. Durch die geschützte Anordnung der Messerklinge 12 wird ebenfalls das Verletzungsrisiko reduziert. Eine weitere Trümmerspitze 10.1 befindet sich an dem adapterstückseitigen Ende des Zusatzelementes Z. Diese aus Hartmetall bestehende Trümmerspitze 10.1 dient dem Zertrümmern der Seitenscheiben von Kraftfahrzeugen. In einer weiteren, hier nicht dargestellten, Ausführungsform ist die Anordnung dieser Trümmerspitze 10.1 an der Spitze der Säge 8 vorgesehen.The universal tool according to the invention consists of a base element G and an additional element Z (FIG. 1 and FIG. 2) associated therewith. Both the basic element G and the additional element Z are designed as multifunctional tools and can also be used independently of each other. The basic element G consists of an arcuate lever part 1, which is provided with a key part 2 is rotatably connected by means of a rotary joint 3. The substantially parallelepiped-shaped additional element Z has at its one end an adapter piece 4, which can form a positive and non-positive connection with a complementary, located at the end remote from the lever part 1 end of the key part 2 4.1 recording. This adapter piece 4 is triangular in shape and has a grid element e which can be brought into latching engagement with each of the three side faces of the receptacle 4.1 formed as a deep-drawn inner triangle (FIG. 3). The spherical element e, which is of spherical design in the example, engages with a groove n located on each side surface of the inner triangle of the receptacle 4.1. Thereby, the connection of the base member G with the additional element Z regardless of their position to each other without problems. The corners of the inner triangle of the recording 4.1 also have an extension in the form of radii, which especially the separate use of the additional element Z - can be done versatile - without primitive G -. Also possible is a polygonal or round shape of the adapter piece 4 and the recording 4.1. If the additional element Z is attached to the key part 2, then it represents a kind of extension of the base element G in the direction of its longitudinal axis a, whereby a greater force due to the better leverage of the universal tool is achieved. The additional element Z has a plurality of tools, which are arranged substantially on the side facing away from the adapter piece 4 half of the additional element Z and fulfill each of its important functions, especially in rescue operations such as occupant recovery from vehicles. Thus, a socket wrench 5 is provided both for an external square and for a square socket, which is in the closed, folded position within a coaxially to the longitudinal axis a extending groove 5.1 and can be folded out of the additional element Z (Fig. 6). In a position corresponding to an angle of 90 ° or 180 ° to the folded state of the socket wrench 5, its effected by spring force positioning and fixing within the additional element Z. Is used for both external square (preferably for key width 8 mm) as well as square socket (preferably wrench size 10 mm) usable socket wrench 5, for example, for non-destructive opening of safety cabinets, cabinets, etc. A commercial flashlight 6 - which may be, for example, an LED element - is in a coaxially to the longitudinal axis a recess 6.1, which also equipped with recessed grips 6.2 for better operation of the flashlight 6, arranged extendable and retractable. The flashlight 6 can be permanently installed in the additional element Z or mounted interchangeable be. At an angle of 90 ° or 180 ° from a further recess 7.1 of the additional element Z can be folded out a conical socket wrench 7 for a square socket (preferably for key width 7-8 mm), which preferably serves to open window vents, train doors, etc. Socket wrench 5, flashlight 6 and socket wrench 7 are arranged on different sides on the half of the additional element Z facing away from the adapter piece 4 in the closed state in each case coaxially with the longitudinal axis a. The unfolding and the positioning in the unfolded positions of the socket wrench 5 and 7 takes place in each case by spring force, which is realized for example by means of a leaf spring 14. This makes it easy to operate even with protective gloves. Furthermore, a saw 8 is rotatably disposed in a coaxially to the longitudinal axis a extending slot 8.1 of the additional element Z about an orthogonal to the longitudinal axis a extending axis b. This axis b is located in the front, adapter piece side third of the additional element Z (Fig. 7). The cutting out of laminated glass panes, such as vehicle windshields, serving saw 8 is in three positions by means of a fixing element 9, which is located within a recessed grip 9.1 of the additional element Z, can be locked and fixed: in a first, the folded (closed) state corresponding end position and in a second one completely unfolded (open) state corresponding end position and in an intermediate stage in which the saw 8 is located at a defined angle α to the longitudinal axis a of the additional element Z and corresponds to an optimal leverage effecting working position. It should be emphasized in this case that when connected to the base element G additional element Z greater leverage and a more favorable use of force when working with the saw 8 is possible. The optimal leverage supporting the saw 8 is arcuately formed with a defined radius r. In the work position located at a defined angle α to the longitudinal axis a, the saw 8 can be used to separate out glass panes according to the "can opener principle" (FIG. 8): the end of the additional element Z facing away from the receptacle 4.1 is in a contact point P. put on the laminated glass to be sawed a motor vehicle. With pivoting movements about the support point P, a movement of the saw 8 down - in the laminated glass pane - and a movement upwards - out of the pane - scored. In this case, the cutting of the laminated glass pane takes place during the movement of the saw 8 upwards. The movement of the saw 8 down causes a feed movement (tooth-wise) in the cutting direction. The support point P of the additional element Z shifts into a new fixed position. At the following movement after above the saw 8 again performs a cut. The movement of the saw 8 is thus an oscillating movement, which performs a defined feed movement in each case in a section of a tooth. In the closed state, the saw 8 is in the slot 8.1 of this side also arcuate and thus adapted to the shape of the saw 8 additional element Z. This is a safe, a risk of injury exclusion of the saw 8 given. In this end position, both a wiping of glass panes, primarily laminated glass panes, serving debris tip 10 as well as a slot key 11, for example, the opening of wall hydrant cabinets, both of which are arranged at the top of the saw 8, extend beyond the outer periphery of the additional element Z, so that These tools are used both in the open state and when folded saw 8. The same applies to a knife blade 12 located at the rear side of the saw 8 facing away from the saw teeth and intended as a belt cutter for cutting and separating safety belts or other lashing straps. The protected arrangement of the knife blade 12 also reduces the risk of injury. A further debris tip 10.1 is located at the adapter piece-side end of the additional element Z. This consisting of hard metal debris tip 10.1 is the Smashing the side windows of motor vehicles. In another embodiment, not shown here, the arrangement of this debris tip 10.1 is provided at the tip of the saw 8.

Es ist ebenso eine separate Anordnung eines Gurtschneiders und/oder eines Trümmerelementes an dem Zusatzelement Z möglich, die analog der weiter oben angeführten Einzelwerkzeuge ausklappbar sind.It is also a separate arrangement of a belt cutter and / or a debris on the additional element Z possible, which are similar to the above-mentioned individual tools folded out.

An der Oberfläche des Zusatzelementes Z sind Griffmulden 13 angebracht, die eine bessere Angriffsfläche für die Hände des Benutzers und somit einen sicheren Halt bieten. Bei mit dem Grundelement G verbundenen Zusatzelement Z wird dadurch der beidhändige Einsatz erleichtert.On the surface of the additional element Z grip recesses 13 are mounted, which provide a better attack surface for the user's hands and thus a secure fit. When associated with the base element G additional element Z thereby the ambidextrous use is facilitated.

Das Grundelement G des erfindungsgemäßen Universalwerkzeuges besitzt hier nicht näher dargestellte Fixier- und Rasterelemente, die das im Schlüsselteil 2 um das Drehgelenk 3 bewegbare Hebelteil 1 in beiden Endstellungen (geschlossene und um etwa 180° geöffnete) fixieren. Einsetzbar ist das Grundelement G in beiden Stellungen. In Fig. 3 ist das Grundelement G in der geschlossenen Stellung dargestellt. Es ist aber auch mit einem Hebelteil 1, das in einem anderen Winkel (kleiner 180°) zu der verlängerten Längsachse a ausgeklappt ist, anwendbar (Fig. 4). Das kann z.B. bei Platzmangel notwendig sein, oder um eine Hebelunterstützung zur Erfüllung bestimmter Bedienfunktionen zu erzielen. Um die Verletzungsgefahr zu verringern, ist das Hebelteil 1 mittels der nicht näher dargestellten, im Innern des Grundelementes G befindlichen, Fixier- und Rasterelemente nur entgegen einem zu überwindenden Widerstand in eine andere Stellung bewegbar. Damit wird beispielsweise einer Verletzung des Bedieners durch Einklemmen der Hand zwischen Hebelteil 1 und Schlüsselteil 2 vorgebeugt, was bei zu leichter und schneller Rotation des Hebelteiles 1 um das Drehgelenk 3 passieren kann.The basic element G of the universal tool according to the invention has fixing and raster elements not shown here in detail, which fix the lever part 1 which is movable in the key part 2 about the rotary joint 3 in both end positions (closed and opened by approximately 180 °). It is possible to use the basic element G in both positions. In Fig. 3, the base member G is shown in the closed position. However, it is also applicable with a lever part 1 which is unfolded at a different angle (less than 180 °) to the extended longitudinal axis a (FIG. 4). This may be necessary, for example, in case of lack of space, or to achieve a lever support to fulfill certain operating functions. To the risk of injury too reduce, the lever member 1 by means not shown, located in the interior of the base member G, fixing and grid elements only against a resistance to be overcome in a different position movable. Thus, for example, a violation of the operator by pinching the hand between the lever part 1 and key part 2 is prevented, which can happen at too light and fast rotation of the lever member 1 about the hinge 3.

Das bogenförmige Hebelteil 1 weist eine an seinem Innenbogen 1.1 ausgebildete Schlüsselfläche zur Anlage an einem zu bedienenden Objekt O auf und ist damit neben seiner Funktion als Griff auch als Schlüssel einsetzbar. Die Funktion des Schlüssels unterstützend ist an dem Innenbogen 1.1 ein verschleißfester, rostfreier Stahlstift 15 eingepresst, derart, dass er in geöffneter Stellung des Hebelteils 1 der Anlage an dem Objekt O, beispielsweise einem Überflurhydranten, dient (Fig. 9). Zusätzlich zu dem Stahlstift 15 ist nahe der schlüsselteilabgewandten Spitze 16 des Hebelteils 1 am Innenbogen 1.1 des Hebelteiles 1 ein Anlagesteg 17 angebracht, der ebenso unterstützend beim Angriff an dem Objekt O wirkt. Dabei wird das Hebelteil 1 so an den Verschluss angesetzt, dass eine Kraftanwendung durch Ziehen oder Drücken in Richtung des Körpers oder vom Körper des Bedieners weg erfolgt. Das bogenförmige Hebelteil 1 liegt in seiner geöffneten Endstellung mit seinem Außenbogen 1.2 an einem vorstehenden Anschlag 18 des Schlüsselteils 2 an, der zudem als Schlüssel für flexible und beidseitige Anwendung an verschiedensten Hähnen und Verschlüssen dient. So ist er beispielsweise als Schlüssel für Gashahnabstellung (oder für Wasserhähne, Schieber etc.) einsetzbar und kann ebenso als Schrauben- oder Mutternschlüssel für Schlüsselweiten von 7 mm, 8 mm und 11 mm verwendet werden. Die im Anschlag 18 vorhandenen Durchstecköffnungen 18.1, 18.2, 18.3 ermöglichen dabei auch ein Durchstecken von Schrauben und Spindeln.The arcuate lever part 1 has a formed on its inner arc 1.1 key surface for engagement with an object to be operated O and is thus used in addition to its function as a handle as a key. Supporting the function of the key is a wear-resistant, stainless steel pin 15 pressed against the inner arc 1.1, such that it serves in the open position of the lever part 1 of the abutment against the object O, for example an overground hydrant (FIG. 9). In addition to the steel pin 15 is near the key part facing away from the tip 16 of the lever member 1 on the inner bow 1.1 of the lever member 1, a contact web 17 is attached, which acts as supportive in the attack on the object O. In this case, the lever part 1 is attached to the closure so that a force application takes place by pulling or pushing in the direction of the body or away from the body of the operator. The arcuate lever part 1 is located in its open end position with its outer bow 1.2 on a projecting stop 18 of the key part 2, which also serves as a key for flexible and two-sided application to a variety of taps and closures. For example, it can be used as a key to stop the gas tap (or for faucets, valves, etc.) and can also be used as a screw or nut wrench for key widths of 7 mm, 8 mm and 11 mm. The existing in the stop 18 through-openings 18.1, 18.2, 18.3 also allow it to pass through screws and spindles.

Die im geöffneten Zustand von dem Schlüsselteil 2 weg gerichtete Spitze 16 des Hebelteils 1 ist breit und massiv, aber sehr flach zulaufend, ausgeführt, wodurch ein Aufhebeln und Kanten mit effektiver Kraftübertragung möglich ist. Sie dient dem gezielten Öffnen von Fenstern, Türen, Rolläden etc. Außerdem sind am Außenbogen 1.2 des Hebelteils 1 Auflagestege 19 für eine definierte Kraftübertragung und einen sicheren Ansatz an dem zu bedienenden Objekt O vorhanden.The in the open state of the key part 2 directed away tip 16 of the lever member 1 is wide and solid, but very tapering running, executed, whereby a levering and edges with effective power transmission is possible. It is used for the targeted opening of windows, doors, blinds, etc. In addition, on the outer bow 1.2 of the lever part 1 support webs 19 for a defined power transmission and a secure approach to the object to be operated O exist.

In der geschlossenen Stellung, in der das Hebelteil 1 auf dem Schlüsselteil 2 aufliegt, ragt der Stahlstift 15 in eine an dem Schlüsselteil 2 befindliche, als Dreiecksansatz ausgebildete Ausnehmung 20 hinein. Im geöffneten Zustand dient diese Ausnehmung 20 beispielsweise dem Öffnen oder Schließen von Hydrantenverschlussdeckeln (Fig. 10).In the closed position, in which the lever part 1 rests on the key part 2, the steel pin 15 protrudes into a recess 20 located on the key part 2 and designed as a triangular projection. In the opened state, this recess 20 serves, for example, for opening or closing hydrant closure lids (FIG. 10).

Obwohl bei diesen Einsatzmöglichkeiten speziell die Funktionen des Grundelementes G genutzt werden, ist verständlich, dass bei aufgesetztem Zusatzelement Z eine größere Hebelwirkung und damit ein besserer Krafteinsatz vorhanden ist.Although in these applications specifically the functions of the basic element G are used, it is understandable that with attached additional element Z greater leverage and thus a better use of force is present.

Auf der gleichen Seite des Schlüsselteiles 2, in Richtung zu der das Adapterstück 4 des Zusatzelementes Z aufnehmenden Aufnahme 4.1, befindet sich eine Einbuchtung 21, die die Funktion eines Mutternschlüssels (hier Schlüsselweite 15 mm) erfüllt. Auf der der Ausnehmung 20 und der Einbuchtung 21 gegenüberliegenden Seite zeigt das Schlüsselteil 2 des erfindungsgemäßen Universalwerkzeuges eine im wesentlichen c-förmige, nach unten offene, Kontur 22 zum Einsatz an beispielsweise Feuerwehrschlauchanschlüssen. Diese Kontur 22 besteht aus mehreren Einzelkonturen mit den Anlageflächen 22.1, 22.2, 22.3, 22.4, 22.5 und wird an ihrem nahe der Aufnahme 4.1 befindlichen Ende von einer vorspringenden, nach innen gerichteten, Nase 23 begrenzt. Zur Anlage an die Kupplungen der Feuerwehrschläuche kommen dabei jeweils die Nase 23 und eine der Anlageflächen 22.1, 22.2, 22.3, 22.4, 22.5, die derart angeordnet sind, dass sie unterschiedlichen Schlüsselweiten entsprechen. Damit können alle gängigen Kupplungsgrößen bedient werden. In Fig. 5 wird am Beispiel einer definierten Schlüsselweite, die von der Nase 23 und der Anlagefläche 22.3 (entspricht Storz C und DN 50) bedient wird, die Anlage an einem Objekt, einer Kupplung, gezeigt. Analog können die weiteren, zwischen der Nase 23 und der Anlagefläche 22.1 (entspricht Storz D), der Nase 23 und der Anlagefläche 22.2 (DN 32), der Nase 23 und der Anlagefläche 22.4 (Storz B) sowie der Nase 23 und der Anlagefläche 22.5 (Storz A) aufnehmbaren Schlüsselweiten erfasst werden.On the same side of the key part 2, in the direction of the adapter piece 4 of the additional element Z receiving receptacle 4.1, there is a recess 21, which fulfills the function of a nut wrench (in this case, key width 15 mm). On the opposite side of the recess 20 and the indentation 21, the key part 2 of the universal tool according to the invention shows a substantially C-shaped, downwardly open, contour 22 for use on, for example, fire hose connections. This contour 22 consists of several individual contours with the contact surfaces 22.1, 22.2, 22.3, 22.4, 22.5 and is limited at its near the receptacle 4.1 end of a projecting, inwardly directed nose 23. For attachment to the couplings of the fire hoses come in each case the nose 23 and one of the contact surfaces 22.1, 22.2, 22.3, 22.4, 22.5, which are arranged such that they correspond to different key widths. This allows all common clutch sizes to be operated. In Fig. 5 is the example of a defined spanner size, of the nose 23 and the contact surface 22.3 (Storz C and DN 50) served is shown, the attachment to an object, a clutch. Similarly, the other, between the nose 23 and the contact surface 22.1 (Storz D), the nose 23 and the contact surface 22.2 (DN 32), the nose 23 and the contact surface 22.4 (Storz B) and the nose 23 and the contact surface 22.5 (Storz A) recordable key widths are recorded.

An dem der Aufnahme 4.1 für das Adapterstück 4 des Zusatzelementes Z zugewandten Ende des Schlüsselteils 2 befindet sich eine weitere, als Mutternschlüssel für verschiedene Schlüsselweiten (10 mm, 13 mm, 17 mm) ausgebildete Ausnehmung 24. Die vorhandenen Durchstecköffnungen 24.1, 24.2, 24.3 ermöglichen dabei auch ein Durchstecken von Schrauben und Spindeln sowie eine flexible und beidseitige Anwendung an verschiedenen Verschlüssen.At the end of the key part 2 facing the receptacle 4.1 for the adapter piece 4 of the additional element Z there is a further recess 24 designed as a nut key for different key widths (10 mm, 13 mm, 17 mm). The existing push-through openings 24.1, 24.2, 24.3 allow as well as a push through of screws and spindles as well as a flexible and two-sided application at different closures.

An dieser Stelle sei vermerkt, dass die Aufnahme 4.1 nicht nur zur Aufnahme des Adapterstücks 4 dient, sondern im Falle einer nicht vorhandenen Verbindung von Grundelement G undAt this point, it should be noted that the receptacle 4.1 not only serves to accommodate the adapter piece 4, but in the case of a non-existent connection of base element G and

Zusatzelement Z auch zur Bedienung von Fallmantelhydranten oder für die ordnungsgemäße Entriegelung diverser Absperrungen mit genormten Verschlüssen anwendbar ist (z.B. bei Schranken, Absperrungen, Säulen, Böller etc.). Aufgrund ihrer Ausbildung als tiefgezogenes Innendreieck mit in Form von Radien vorhandenen Eckenerweiterungen kann die Aufnahme 4.1 zur Bedienung weit versenkter Schlösser und deformierter oder verschlissener Anschlüsse eingesetzt werden.Additional element Z is also applicable for the operation of fall-jacketed hydrants or for the proper unlocking of various barriers with standardized closures (eg for barriers, barriers, columns, guns, etc.). Due to their design as a deep-drawn inner triangle with existing in the form of radii corner extensions, the recording 4.1 are used to operate widely recessed locks and deformed or worn connections.

Aus diesen Ausführungen ist das große Einsatzgebiet des erfindungsgemäßen Universalwerkzeuges ersichtlich. Mit seiner Anwendung sind im Grunde alle an einem Hydranten vorhandene Bedienfunktionen ausführbar. Dabei sind Grundelement G und Zusatzelement Z sowohl gemeinsam als auch getrennt als selbständige Multifunktionswerkzeuge verwendbar.From these statements, the large application of the universal tool according to the invention can be seen. With its application, basically all operating functions present on a hydrant can be carried out. In this case, basic element G and additional element Z can be used both jointly and separately as independent multifunction tools.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist das - trotz der Vielzahl der in dem Universalwerkzeug untergebrachten Werkzeuge - geringe Gewicht und seine Handlichkeit. Dadurch ist es ohne Weiteres vom Bediener am Körper zu tragen. Die Einzelwerkzeuge des Zusatzelementes Z sind unabhängig voneinander ausklappbar. Ein spezieller federbelasteter Auswurfmechanismus ermöglicht die problemlose Arbeit mit Handschuhen und Schutzkleidung: Durch leichtes Aufschlagen auf den Handballen oder kurzes Gegenschwingen des Zusatzelementes Z mit dem gewünschten Werkzeug nach vorn wird dieses ausgeklappt und fixiert.This is particularly advantageous - despite the large number of accommodated in the universal tool tools - low weight and its manageability. This makes it easy for the operator to wear on the body. The individual tools of the additional element Z are independently foldable. A special spring-loaded ejection mechanism allows easy work with gloves and protective clothing: By gently beating on the palm of your hand or briefly swinging the additional element Z with the desired tool forward, this is unfolded and fixed.

Das Grundelement G ist im geschlossenen (Hebelteil 1 eingeklappt) als auch im geöffneten (Hebelteil 1 ausgeklappt) Zustand einsetzbar.The basic element G can be used in the closed (lever part 1 folded in) as well as in the opened (lever part 1 unfolded) state.

Ein auf das Grundelement G aufgestecktes Zusatzelement Z bedeutet eine Verlängerung des Werkzeuges und damit eine größere Hebelwirkung. Es können vom Bediener beide Hände eingesetzt werden, wodurch ein stärkerer Krafteinsatz möglich ist. Insbesondere bei aufgeklapptem Hebelteil 1 ist dies gut zu realisieren. Bei Bedarf (z.B. einer entsprechenden Hebelwirkung) oder bei Platzmangel kann das Hebelteil 1 auch teilweise eingeklappt werden. Vorteilhaft ist auch der Einsatz des Hebelteiles 1 sowohl als Griff als auch als Werkzeug.An attached to the base element G additional element Z means an extension of the tool and thus a greater leverage. It can be both hands of the operator be used, whereby a stronger use of force is possible. In particular, when unfolded lever part 1, this is easy to implement. If necessary (eg a corresponding leverage effect) or lack of space, the lever part 1 can also be partially folded. Also advantageous is the use of the lever part 1 both as a handle and as a tool.

Aus der Vielzahl der an dem erfindungsgemäßen Universalwerkzeug vorhandenen Werkzeugfunktionen ist die alle gängigen Schlüsselweiten von Kupplungsschlüsseln bedienende Kontur 22 noch hervorzuheben.Out of the multitude of tool functions present on the universal tool according to the invention, the contour 22 that serves all common wrench sizes of clutch wrenches is still to be emphasized.
