Abstract

Emergency hammer (1) for driving in window panes, characterized in that at least one grip (2) of a vehicle forms the emergency hammer (1).

Description

The The present invention relates to a hammer for hammering of window panes.

It There are accident situations where there is no door of one Motor vehicle makes it more open and therefore the Liberation of the occupants must be done through the windows. To the liberation From the vehicles usually serves a so-called emergency hammer.

The European patent EP 0 134 558 B1 discloses an emergency hammer having a steel tip integrated in the hammer head, the hammer head being attached to or integrally connected to a stem with an end region remote from the steel tip. In this way, it is ensured that even relatively shatterproof discs, as they are commonly found in today's vehicles, can be hit in an emergency.

An emergency hammer for driving in windows of a motor vehicle, which is collapsible, is in the German utility model DE 201 07 488 U1 disclosed. Here, the emergency hammer comprises a handle unit and a hammer head. The handle unit includes a handle and a rotatable rod. The rotatable rod has a hinge end pivotally connected to the handle and a free end fixedly connected to the hammer head. The rotatable rod can be rotated relative to the handle between a non-collapsed position in which the overall length of the handle unit is equal to the sum of the lengths of the handle and the rotatable rod, and a collapsed position in which the overall length of the handle unit is approximately equal to the length the handle is.

at The prior art mentioned above has problems on finding the emergency hammer. An emergency involving a driver Passenger etc. of a vehicle has to break a windowpane, Of course, to get out of the car is natural anyway already a disturbing and delicate situation. Therefore needs in an emergency, the panicked person overly long time to find the emergency hammer because it can be that It was forgotten where the emergency hammer is.

For example, the German Utility Model Publication DE 90 14 430 U1 an emergency hammer with a holder for the hammer, wherein on the one hand a hammer-shaped receiving plate and on the other hand a clamping device for receiving the emergency hammer is provided. A mounting method for the receiving plate can here be a double-sided adhesive tape attached to the back of the receiving plate so that this adhesive tape adheres to the receiving plate on the one hand and is fastened on the other hand with its surface in the vehicle. Instead of the adhesive tape, a Velcro tape can be used if a corresponding counterpart is present in the vehicle. In addition, holes can still be provided in the receiving plate, which serve to receive other types of means for fastening the receiving plate to the body.

At the Use of means of public transport (Public transport), the legislator compulsorily writes the sufficient Existence of this emergency hammer in case of disaster in sufficient Number before. Also the place of installation in connection with the local Glazing in this case is subject to technical test regulations. But there is no special tool for breaking the windowpane must be carried in private vehicles exists therefore the danger that either no emergency hammer in the vehicle or that is in an emergency excessively long time is needed to find the emergency hammer, so that one successful escape from the vehicle is prevented.

In order to increase the success rate when escaping from a dangerous vehicle that has no emergency hammer or the emergency hammer is not found, reveals the German translation of the European patent specification DE 698 31 374 T2 a specially made tongue part of a seat belt of a vehicle for breaking a vehicle window. This tongue part has a plate with a pointed projection. In an emergency, that is, for example, when a driver has to escape from a vehicle, the tongue part is released from a detent and the pointed projection of the plate used to break the window. The tapered projection of the plate of the tongue part is covered with a cover which can serve as a handle when it is removed from the pointed projection of the plate of the tongue part. In this way, the tongue part can be held by grasping the cover and the window pane can then be hammered with the pointed projection. Further, the tapered projection cover prevents door trim, etc. from being damaged.

Further, the DE 31 09 870 C2 a device for destroying windows of a vehicle in an emergency, which is housed detachably by hand in the interior of a vehicle. The device has a tip and a handle and is mounted in the vehicle so that the tip occupies a position not endangering the occupants of the vehicle, wherein the device is designed as a detachable interior mirror whose foot carries the tip. A disadvantage of this device is that this is not an object that is commonly used during the use of a vehicle.

task The present invention is one in a vehicle to provide stationary emergency hammer, which is at any time in the access and viewing area of a user of the vehicle.

These Task is solved by an emergency hammer, which has the characteristics in protection claim 1 comprises.

One Emergency hammer, as he according to the invention for wrapping used by windowpanes is in at least one handle a vehicle formed. Under grips are in this context Handles, holders, knobs, etc. understood that to the interior belong to the vehicle.

These Integrative training in the vehicle results, on the one hand, in the emergency hammer is always carried along and connected to the user in emergency situations without much loss of time is available because the emergency hammer at any time in the access and viewing area of a user is arranged. This can be avoided, for example separately purchased emergency hammer, which is taken out when the vehicle is sucked out was forgotten. On the other hand results from the fact that the emergency hammer no additional or in the vehicle indiscriminately lying around is, for example, at a Rear-end collision flying in the air and to additional Injuries can result.

target application the Nothammers invention for wrapping of window panes is that the handle can be solved depending on the situation connected to the vehicle. This function is like this designed that a misuse is excluded.

As already described above, the emergency hammer is a misappropriation exclude. Therefore, the invention proposes that the handlebar with a safety device present in the vehicle so cooperates that the emergency hammer only in emergency situations is usable for a user. Accordingly, the safety devices designed so that they one hand, for example, during A car drive unauthorized or unintentional solvability of the griper, but then in the event of a vehicle accident with jammed doors a possibility to a user give slices to get out.

The Safety device may be based on mechanical, electrical, electronic, magnetic, electromagnetic or otherwise locking such as components with matching exterior and internal threads. Such mechanical safety devices can be formed by screw and nut connections. On a detailed description of the safety devices will not be discussed here, as it goes without saying for a specialist is that the safety devices in a variety of ways and Can be configured manner.

In a continuation of the invention Nothammers for smashing windows is at least one arranged on the handle metal piece designed such that a breaking of windows is possible.

It It should be mentioned at this point that every piece of metal has a peak or rounding, but also everyone else conceivable material for the design of a tip or rounding as well but also any other conceivable form for the design of the metal piece At the handle can be used that a wrapping of window panes allows.

According to one The first embodiment of the invention is the catcher Shift knob, d. H. the head of a gear shift lever. Shift knobs are in a variety of forms and designs on the market known and in use. They are generally used for ease of applying force to the gear shift lever a controlled as well as easier up and down switching the To grant aisles.

preferably, the shift knob is designed like a small ball. Consequently The shift knob can be enclosed with the hand of a user and guarantees a good handling. Furthermore, the shift knob with rigidly connected to a short metal blunt, such as through a cohesive connection. This means the shift knob is from the metal blunt as well as the metal blunt from the shift knob not detachable, as preferably by a permanent one Connecting shift knob and metal blunt using Heat or pressure, with or without welding consumables. A further advantageous design can provide that the shift knob and the metal stump form a cast unit.

In general, the shift knob in conjunction with the metal blunting resembles the construction of a short screwdriver, the metal blunt forming a metal tip or metal fillet such that the shift knob can be used much like a stylus. In order to be able to release the shift knob from a safety device assigned to it, which prevents unintentional release, for example, the metal bolt designed as a metallic threaded bolt. Generally, bolts are often used for quick release connections. With a handle of this arrangement, the emergency hammer can be used in the event of an emergency on the one hand by unscrewing fast and on the other hand easily from the wrist of a user with little effort for driving a window of a vehicle.

In Another embodiment of the invention is the handle a handbrake handle, d. H. the handle of a handbrake. As a handbrake are called braking systems that operates with muscle power become. Also, the handbrake handle, preferably in the center console a vehicle is already common in the prior art discloses and serves the better handling of the handbrake of a user.

As in a variety of forms and designs on the market known and in use, stand the handbrake handles by a light weight and have a handbrake button on, also known as push-in button or release button, to release the unlocking of a handbrake of a vehicle. It should be mentioned at this point that the handbrake button is of a metal and the piece of metal described above so that the handbrake handle is well used as an emergency hammer can. Furthermore, a handle of this arrangement is in a Emergency on the one hand due to the good handling and the low Weight of the handbrake handle. On the other hand allows in turn, such a handle, which a user in an emergency with little Forcing a window can break. Furthermore is a designed as emergency hammer handbrake handle of each vehicle seat In a passenger car easily accessible, which is in the sense of in the vehicle existing safety device described above for example, by a known in the prior art notching device or releasing the latching and unlocking device.

In A third embodiment of the invention is the catcher a door handle. This embodiment is above all for motor vehicles without a built in the center console Handbrake of importance, such as in Porsche models. Further This embodiment also relates to vehicle types that are completely equipped with no handbrake, such as Mercedes models.

One Handle as a door handle has at least one piece of metal, preferably formed two pieces of metal. Every piece of metal has a tip or rounding, the preferred construction formed at the predetermined breaking points of a safety device are and thus reach into a vehicle door. Due The design with two pieces of metal, has a user in an emergency situation two options at the handle, to allow a breaking of windows.

The Safety device, for example, on electrical or electronic way the handle and the vehicle depending on the situation solve is the state of the art by means of switches or sensors, integrated circuits and others Function elements known. So could an emergency stop switch be mounted in the vehicle such that it is in an emergency situation the entire power supply in the vehicle interrupts, especially the Connection between vehicle and door handle unlocked and thus the emergency hammer is usable for the user.

It is for the expert of course that in the invention, other embodiments for the training of a Nothammers are conceivable, since different handles are known in the art and to the interior of the vehicle belong, such as one in the handle, colloquially also called fear grip, trained emergency hammer.
