Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device, particularly to be fastened in passenger cars, for breaking the panes after traffic accidents, with a mounting plate, which has openings for its fastening and clamping brackets for receiving a hammer.
  • Such devices serve, after traffic accidents in which the doors of the vehicle can no longer be opened, to create a possibility for the incarcerated persons to break the windows of the windows in order to get out of the vehicle in this way to be able to.
  • the mounting plate has openings for its attachment to the wall and has holes through which fastening screws pass.
  • clamps are provided on the mounting plate, into which a hammer is clamped with its handle, so that it is held in this way.
  • the hammer consists of a wooden hammer handle and a hammer head made of metal, which is designed differently at both end ranges of the head in the known manner.
  • Devices of this type have so far not been used in passenger cars, although there too after traffic accidents The situation may well arise that, as a result of jammed doors, the occupants can only leave the vehicle through a broken window.
  • the invention is based on the object of developing a device of the type described at the outset in such a way that it quickly and easily enables the vehicle occupants to be released after traffic accidents if the doors of the vehicle can no longer be opened as a result of jamming. It is a question of, on the one hand, accommodating the device in a protected manner due to the limited space available in the passenger car and, on the other hand, of having it quickly accessible and therefore available in order to be able to carry out the necessary relief work from the inside in the event of an accident of the type in question.
  • the receiving plate consists of a base body with a T-shaped outline
  • the hammer is provided with two symmetrically arranged hammer tips in the area of the hammer head and in the area of the free end of the hammer handle has a knife for cutting the straps
  • protective walls are provided on the three end regions of the T-shaped outline of the base body for covering the hammer tips and the free end of the hammer handle.
  • the receiving plate is adapted by its T-shaped base body to the outer outline of the hammer, so that the entire device from the receiving plate and hammer has a pleasing overall appearance.
  • the device is also small enough to be arranged in the grip area of the occupants of a passenger car, for example in the area of the carpet lining underneath a front seat or the like. Since the hammer is provided with two symmetrically arranged hammer tips in the area of the hammer head, it is immaterial , with which tip the smashing of the window panes, the windshield or the
  • OMPI rear window of a passenger car is carried out. It is therefore not necessary to turn the hammer when breaking the glass.
  • passenger cars are known to be equipped with seat belts, and in some types of accidents it happens that the belt can no longer be opened in the belt buckle, so that it has to be cut.
  • the hammer has a knife in the area of the free end of the hammer handle, which is protected there and allows quick and problem-free cutting of the forte, so that the occupants can get out of such an accident vehicle.
  • the hammer provided with the two hammer tips is protected on the base body, the knife also being concealed, so that unintended injuries to the occupants are not to be feared.
  • the hammer tips can be conical, the associated protective walls being arranged in a V-shape on the base body. So there is an adaptation between the mounting plate and hammer, which at the same time serve to protect the tips of the hammer on the one hand and the vehicle occupants on the other. In addition, the hammer is held by these protective walls in addition to the clamping brackets at other points so that it cannot move in the mounting plate or loosen as a result of vehicle vibrations.
  • the two hammer tips can be provided on a continuous insert body made of metal, the hammer handle consisting of two interconnectable half-shells. Head widenings are provided on the two half-shells, which include the insert body. In this way, an extremely effective instrument is created, which only in the head area through the metal insert body a corresponding
  • the insert body can have circumferential grooves, into which ribs engage on the two half-shells of the hammer handle, so that the insert body is held and fixed immovably in the interconnected half-shells.
  • the hammer handle can expediently have an open edge in the region of its free end, penetrating both half-shells, in the notch base of which the knife is provided between the two half-shells.
  • the notch is dimensioned such that its open-edged opening and its other configuration do not allow a finger to penetrate, whereas, of course, a seat belt can penetrate the notch and reach the knife at the notch base. If the notch is arranged obliquely to the axis of the hammer handle, the cutting process on the belt can be carried out by a simple pulling movement, so that this work step can be carried out very quickly.
  • a detachably mounted needle can be provided in the area of the hammer head, which serves to adjust and / or clean the washing nozzles for the windshield wipers of the passenger car.
  • the device is thus useful for achieving several functions.
  • FIG. 1 is a view of the device from hammer and Aufnah meplatte, 2 is a side view of the device of FIG. 1,
  • Fig. 3 is a view of the receiving plate of the device.
  • FIG. 4 shows a side view of the receiving plate according to FIG. 3
  • the device shown in FIG. 1 has two components which are adapted to one another, namely a receiving plate 1 and a hammer 2.
  • the receiving plate 1 has a basic body 3 with a T-shaped outline, from which clamping brackets 4, 5 rise .
  • T-shaped base body In the end regions of the T-shaped base body two V-shaped protective walls 6 and 7 and a protective wall 8 are provided, which not only protect the hammer 2 but also hold and fix it.
  • the hammer 2 has a hammer handle 9 and a hammer head 10, the hammer handle 9 being provided in its central region with a corrugation, grooving or the like, which serves to grip the hammer 2 in a non-slip manner.
  • the hammer handle 9 is composed of two half-shells 11 and 12, which can consist of die-cast aluminum and have head widenings 13 in the area of the hammer head, which receive an insert body 14, which can be designed as a continuous metallic body and two hammer tips 15 and 16 has.
  • the hammer tips 15 and 16 are conical in shape and end in a tip, so that a window pane of a car can be broken in easily and effortlessly.
  • the V-shaped protective walls 6 and 7 are adapted to the shape of the hammer tips 15 and 16, so that they are closely enclosed and the hammer 2 is thus fixed to the base body 3 in addition to the clamping brackets 4 and 5.
  • the insert body 14 has circumferential grooves 17, into which ribs 18, which are formed by the two half-shells 11 and 12, engage, so that the insert body 14 is immovably and securely held on the hammer handle 9. Screws 19 and 20 are used to connect the two half-shells 11 and 12.
  • the hammer handle 9 at its free end has a notch 21 which is open at an angle to its axis and is narrower than the thickness of a finger.
  • a knife 22 is held between the half-shells 11 and 12, the notch 21, which is open at the edge, being used for inserting the seat belt and the knife 22 for cutting the same in a dangerous situation.
  • a needle 23 with a handle 24 is provided in the area of the hammer head 10.
  • the needle extends into the interior of the insert body 14, which has an opening for this purpose.
  • the needle 23 is gripped on the handle 24 and pulled out of the hammer 2; it serves to clean and adjust the washing nozzles of the water cleaning system of the windshield or the headlights.
  • the base body has a ramp-like elevation 25 on which the hammer 2 is attached the hammer handle 9 rests. (The hammer handle 9 is not shown here).
  • openings 26, 27 are also provided for fastening the mounting plate 1 to the motor vehicle. This can be done with the help of sheet metal screws which reach through the openings 26, 27. Alternatively, it can also be fastened with long pushing needles, which are inclined can be inserted through other openings in the mounting plate 1, for example into the carpeting of a vehicle tub (indicated by dash-dotted lines in FIG.
  • the sliding needles can have a U-shaped shape. With a bowed back of the bow, the sliding needles can lock into recesses in the ramp-like elevation 25.
  • the hammer 2 is protected in the receiving plate 1, so that there is no risk that the occupants of the vehicle on the hammer 2 or the knife 22 can injure themselves.
  • the hammer 2 can be very easily removed from its holder from the mounting plate if necessary, so that, in the event of danger after an accident, the seat belts can be cut very quickly and the windows broken.
  • the hammer thus fulfills the function of a lifesaver; it is adapted to the special problems that can occur after an accident in a car, namely the cutting of the belt on the one hand and the breaking of the windows on the other.
