Claim 1

1 . An accessory for a working device comprising: a plug body having a length along a first axis and being comprised of a keyed connection piece on a first end, wherein the keyed connection piece is immovable relative to a remainder of the plug body, a coiled compression spring positioned near a second end of the plug body, and a pivot joint positioned between the first end and the second end of the plug body, wherein the pivot joint includes a pivot pin for connection to a spring-loaded locking mechanism at the singular pivot point, enabling the locking mechanism to pivot relative to the plug body at the singular pivot point, an extension portion connected on one end to the second end of the plug body and connectable on an opposite end to a tool, and the spring-loaded locking mechanism that is structured and configured to transiently lock the plug body to a receiving adapter or a working device, the spring-loaded locking mechanism being comprised of a clip having a first end and a second end that is opposite the first end, a front hook on the first end, and a spring connection pin on an underside of the second end of the clip, wherein at least the keyed connection piece of the plug body is insertable into a plug receptacle on a receiving adapter or a working device, wherein the entire spring-loaded locking mechanism pivots relative to the plug body at the singular pivot point, wherein the spring connection pin has a length that is greater than a width or a depth, wherein the length of the spring connection pin is perpendicular to the plug body, and wherein the plug body defines a corresponding receiving hole into which the spring connection pin is transiently insertable. a plug body having a length along a first axis and being comprised of a keyed connection piece on a first end, wherein the keyed connection piece is immovable relative to a remainder of the plug body, a coiled compression spring positioned near a second end of the plug body, and a pivot joint positioned between the first end and the second end of the plug body, wherein the pivot joint includes a pivot pin for connection to a spring-loaded locking mechanism at the singular pivot point, enabling the locking mechanism to pivot relative to the plug body at the singular pivot point, a keyed connection piece on a first end, wherein the keyed connection piece is immovable relative to a remainder of the plug body, a coiled compression spring positioned near a second end of the plug body, and a pivot joint positioned between the first end and the second end of the plug body, wherein the pivot joint includes a pivot pin for connection to a spring-loaded locking mechanism at the singular pivot point, enabling the locking mechanism to pivot relative to the plug body at the singular pivot point, an extension portion connected on one end to the second end of the plug body and connectable on an opposite end to a tool, and the spring-loaded locking mechanism that is structured and configured to transiently lock the plug body to a receiving adapter or a working device, the spring-loaded locking mechanism being comprised of a clip having a first end and a second end that is opposite the first end, a front hook on the first end, and a spring connection pin on an underside of the second end of the clip, a clip having a first end and a second end that is opposite the first end, a front hook on the first end, and a spring connection pin on an underside of the second end of the clip, wherein at least the keyed connection piece of the plug body is insertable into a plug receptacle on a receiving adapter or a working device, wherein the entire spring-loaded locking mechanism pivots relative to the plug body at the singular pivot point, wherein the spring connection pin has a length that is greater than a width or a depth, wherein the length of the spring connection pin is perpendicular to the plug body, and wherein the plug body defines a corresponding receiving hole into which the spring connection pin is transiently insertable.
