Abstract
A flexible interface (130) may operably couple a head portion (110, 210) and a shaft (120, 220) of a hand tool (100, 200). The flexible interface may include a retention assembly (160) and a locking assembly (150) including an actuator (152, 250, 250′) defining a locked state and an unlocked state for the hand tool. In the unlocked state, an angle of the head portion may be pivotable relative to a pivot axis (225) substantially perpendicular to a direction of extension of the shaft and, in the locked state, the angle of the head portion is fixed. The actuator may be configured to move in a direction substantially perpendicular to the pivot axis to operate the locking assembly to transition between the locked state and the unlocked state, and configured to move in a direction substantially parallel to the pivot axis to operate the retention assembly to retain hand tool in the unlocked state. A hand tool comprising said flexible interface is also related.
