A multipurpose folding tool (30, 280) including a pair of folding scissors (32), in which scissor blades (80, 82) are movable about pivot shafts (78), between a stowed position and a deployed position in the handles (34, 36). A rocker (94, 96) is moved by a spring (106) in the tool handle and in turn urges a scissor blade toward an open position. In one embodiment four springs (104, 106) hold the handles together with the folded scissors stowed within the handles. When the scissors and other tools are folded into their stowed positions in the handle of the multipurpose tool of the invention the tool has a smooth outside configuration allowing the tool to be carried in a pocked without causing undue wear. A handle (34 or 36) may be constructed as a sheet metal channel or a handle (282, 284, 382, 384) as two pieces at least one of which includes a perpendicular flange taking the place of a channel bottom portion so that each blade or tool bit may be accompanied by a separate spring (318, 418, 420).
L'invention porte sur un outil universel pliable (30, 280) comportant une paire de ciseaux repliables (32) dont les lames (80, 82) pivotent autour d'un axe (78) entre une position de rangement et une position d'utilisation, à l'intérieur des poignées (34, 36). Un levier (94, 96) mu par un ressort (106) situé dans la poignée de l'outil place les lames des ciseaux en position d'ouverture. Dans l'un des modes de réalisation, quatre ressorts (104, 106) maintiennent les poignées refermées autour des ciseaux repliés. Lorsque les ciseaux et les autres accessoires sont repliés à l'intérieur de la poignée de l'outil universel, ce dernier prend une forme non anguleuse qui permet de le placer dans une poche sans risquer d'usure anormale. La poignée (34, 36) peut être faite d'une tôle repliée de manière à former une gorge, ou de deux pièces (282, 284, 382, 384) dont l'une au moins comporte un bord perpendiculaire prenant la place du fond de la gorge, ce qui permet de munir chacun des accessoires de son propre ressort (318, 418, 420).
