A through hole 32AH is formed in the upper portion of the support portion 32A, and a strap or the like can be attached as necessary.

  Next, a method of using the life hammer 10 to escape from the automobile in an emergency will be described with reference to FIG. Here, it is assumed that the driver is confined in the vehicle while wearing the seat belt, and the airbag AB is inflated in front of the driver.

  First, in order to remove air from the inflated airbag AB, the cover 31B is removed from the destruction portion main body 31A to expose the needle-like pointed portion 31AT. Then, the airbag AB is hit with the pointed head 31AT in a state where the rear end portion 13 is grasped with a hand. Then, the sharp pointed head 31AT opens a hole in the airbag AB, air is released from the inside, and the airbag AB contracts.

  Next, the seat belt is cut by the cutting unit 32. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, the life hammer 10 is moved in the direction of the arrow while the one end in the width direction of the seat belt SB is applied to the blade 32 </ b> B of the cutting portion 32, so that the seat belt SB is substantially in the width direction. Disconnect. As a result, the driver can escape from the seat.

  Here, when the door does not open for some reason, the destruction portion main body 31A (pointed head 31AT) is struck against the window glass of the door to break the window glass and escape from the vehicle. At this time, since the weight 31AB is built in the distal end portion 12, the window glass can be easily broken with a small force even for a woman or an elderly person.

  After exiting the vehicle, in order to notify other vehicles of an emergency, the switch 23 is pressed and the red LED light 41 is blinked. Then, the life hammer 10 is turned upside down and placed on the steel roof CR of the automobile C as shown in FIG. Since the tip of the permanent magnet 33 is exposed on the top surface 12A of the tip portion 12, the permanent magnet 33 is attracted to the roof CR, and the life hammer 10 is firmly fixed to the roof CR. Since the top surface 12A of the distal end portion 12 is formed flat, it is placed along the shape of the roof CR formed substantially flat and is stable.

  On the other hand, when lighting is required, such as at night, the switch 22 is pressed to turn on the white LED light 42, the thumb and forefinger are applied to the pair of recesses 11A and 11A, and the life hammer 10 is held. As a result, the light of the white LED light 42 that has passed through the protective part 13BB of the lower rear end part 13B can be easily applied to a desired object.

  In addition, as shown to Fig.9 (a), (b), tip part 12 'may be made detachable with respect to main-body part 11', and the battery 21 is replaceable. In this case, the tip portion 12 'is provided with a screw portion SC at the lower end portion of the tip portion 12 in the above example. On the other hand, the main body portion 11 ′ is formed by forming a screw to be screwed into the screw portion SC inside the upper portion of the main body portion 11. Further, a guide plate G1 and a guide part G2 are provided inside the upper part of the main body part 11 'so that the battery 21 can be stably stored. In this example, the circuit is configured so that two batteries 21 are connected in series, but the present invention is not limited to this. In order to connect the two batteries 21 in series, a metal electrode plate is provided at the lower end of the upper end portion 12 'and inside the screw portion SC.

  Moreover, if slip prevention is formed in the outer periphery of the rear-end part 13, it will not slip when the life hammer 10 destroys a window glass or makes a hole in an airbag, and a handle does not slip, and it uses it safely. This is preferable. Examples of the anti-slip include a method of integrally forming a plurality of irregularities on the surface of the rear end portion 13 in a lattice shape, and a method of sticking a seal having a plurality of resin protrusions on the outer periphery of the rear end portion 13.

  Further, the lower rear end portion 13B may be detachably formed with respect to the upper rear end portion 13A so that the white LED light 42 and the red LED light 41 can be replaced.

  In the above example, the four columnar permanent magnets 33 are embedded in the top surface 12A of the distal end portion 12, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, one large permanent magnet may be built in the tip portion 12 and the upper end thereof may be exposed on the top surface 12A of the tip portion 12. At this time, a large permanent magnet may also serve as a weight. By doing so, it is not necessary to provide the weight 31AB on the pointed head 31A.

  Furthermore, you may provide a glass breaking part and a pointed head separately. For example, a glass breaker may be provided on the side surface of the tip 12 and a needle-like pointed head may be provided immediately above it. By doing in this way, a glass breaking part can be made into the most suitable shape for destroying a window glass. Further, it is preferable that the glass breaking part and the pointed head are detachably covered with dedicated covers, respectively.

  In the above example, the life hammer applied to the automobile has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to the automobile, and may be a vehicle. For example, a riding equipment such as a roller coaster having a seat belt and a window glass may be used.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described example, and may take any form within a scope not departing from the gist of the invention.
