Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an assist grip with a hammer, and more particularly to an assist grip for a vehicle such as an automobile. The present invention relates to a hammer-assisted grip that can be used as a breaking hammer.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a vehicle such as an automobile falls on a river or the sea by mistake while riding on a vehicle, there is a danger of submergence. Therefore, the vehicle must escape from the vehicle as soon as possible. It is said that it usually submerges in about one minute.

There are various methods of escape from the vehicle, such as a method of opening a door to escape, a method of opening a window to escape, a method of breaking a window to escape, and the like. This is a method of breaking and escaping a window for the following reason.

That is, a vehicle that has reached the surface of the water usually has a part of the door submerged, and in order to open the door and escape, the door must be opened against the water pressure pressing the door from the outside. However, since the water pressure is so large that the door cannot be easily opened by human power, it is almost impossible to open the door after reaching the water surface and escape.

In order to escape by opening the window, it is possible to perform the operation of opening the normal window even after the vehicle reaches the surface of the water. However, when the vehicle falls to the surface of the water, it is possible. In such a case, the opening / closing mechanism of the window may fail. Fortunately, even if the window opening and closing mechanism can reach the water surface without failure, if the window opens and closes electrically, such as a power window, a part of the control circuit may be submerged, and the guarantee of normal operation is not guaranteed. Absent.

Therefore, in an emergency, it is most reliable to break the window and escape, and it is preferable to provide a hammer or the like in the vehicle for breaking the window and escaping.

[0007]

However, as described above, a hammer or the like for breaking and escaping the window in an emergency is to be stored somewhere in the vehicle, and the hammer or the like which has begun to be submerged in the vehicle. In some cases, the hammer or the like may not be easily found because the part storing the hammer or the like is already submerged. As a result, the entire vehicle may be submerged without using a hammer or the like.

Further, even if a parable hammer or the like can be found, the number of hammers or the like provided in the vehicle is usually one, and is provided only on the driver's seat side. A panic could occur, such as all the people in one window flooding at once.

Therefore, the present invention makes it easy to find even in a vehicle that has begun to be submerged, and after finding, each person is at the closest position from each other without waiting for the turn to destroy other windows. It is an object to provide an assist grip with a hammer that can destroy a window.

[0010]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided an assist grip with a hammer, wherein a grip portion having a band-like shape and a central portion curved in a concave shape and a substantially bar-shaped grip portion are vertically provided at both ends of the grip portion. A window of the installation destination vehicle has a breakable hammer member, and an insertion hole embedded and fixed inside the roof side of the installation destination vehicle to insert the hammer member, and the hammer member is inserted through the insertion hole. In this state, the gripper can be used as a hanging strap, and when a predetermined tensile stress is applied to the gripper in a vertical direction with respect to the hammer member, the hammer member can be detached from the insertion hole together with the gripper when the tensile stress is applied to the hammer member. And a member.

Here, the assist grip with hammer is
Although it may be provided as a combined use of the hanging leather instead of the normal hanging leather provided in the vehicle, it may be provided separately from the normal hanging leather. In particular, places where the assist grip with hammer is provided include not only vehicles such as passenger cars, trucks and buses running on land, but also various trains, various ships, various aircraft, and the like. Further, the material of the hammer member may be a metal such as iron or stainless steel, or may be a ceramic or the like, as long as the window of the vehicle to which the hammer member is disposed can be broken. The shape of the hammer member may be a cylinder, a polygonal prism such as a quadrangular prism, a hexagonal prism, or the like as long as it is rod-shaped. Further, in order to insert and support the hammer member in the insertion hole of the receiving member, the hammer member may be mechanically supported by being urged by a spring or the like, or may be adsorbed and supported by a magnet.

Therefore, according to the assist grip with a hammer of the first aspect of the present invention, when the gripper is gripped and an external force is applied to the hammer member in the vertical direction, the gripper has one hammer member at each of both ends. Leave the vehicle on the roof side inside while being fixed. Then, by hitting the hammer member toward a glass portion such as a windshield, a side glass, and a rear glass while holding the grip portion, the hit glass portion can be broken. Moreover, in a normal arrangement state, it can be used as a suspension leather provided inside the roof side of the vehicle. In particular, if one assist grip with a hammer is provided immediately above each of a plurality of side windows on the inner side of the roof side of the vehicle, each person in the vehicle can use it.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided the assist grip with a hammer according to the first aspect of the present invention, wherein a protrusion is formed at a tip end of the hammer member.

The insertion hole 9c is drilled from the end where the flange portion 9b is formed, and the depth is slightly longer than the length of the insertion shaft 3a. In the flange portion 9b, two retaining holes 9e are formed in symmetrical positions in the thickness direction.

The hammer member 3 has an end on which the flange 3b is formed on an extension of an inner surface of a central concavely curved portion of a plane sandwiching the thickness direction near both ends of the gripping portion 2. Hanged on the surface. In addition, the insertion shafts 3a of the respective hammer members 3 are respectively inserted into the respective insertion holes 9c of the two receiving members 9 and are integrated with the hammer member 3, so that the grip portion 2, the hammer member 3, and the receiving member 9 are all connected. It is integrated.

As shown in FIG. 3, the assist grip 1 with a hammer is disposed on the inside of the roof side 12 of the vehicle 11 immediately above each of a plurality of side windows. FIG. 3 is an explanatory view showing a state in which an assist grip with a hammer according to an embodiment of the present invention is disposed inside a roof side of a vehicle. That is, the assist grip with hammer 1 is provided instead of the normal suspension leather provided in the vehicle. So, apparently,
There is no difference from ordinary hanging leather, and the design of the interior of the vehicle 11 is not impaired. In addition, the material cost can be reduced by also using the normal hanging leather.

At this time, the receiving member 9 is embedded inside the roof side 12 of the vehicle 11 as shown in FIGS. FIG. 4 is an enlarged sectional view showing a state in which an assist grip with a hammer according to one embodiment of the present invention is disposed inside a roof side of a vehicle. FIG. 5 is a sectional view of an assist grip with a hammer according to one embodiment of the present invention. It is an expanded sectional view showing signs that it has separated from the roof side inside of vehicles. The receiving member 9 is screwed into each of the retaining holes 9e provided in the flange portion 9b while being embedded in the roof side 12.
Is inserted and fixed inside the roof side 12.

The gripper 2 has hammer members 3 near both ends.
A concave portion 2a is formed on the surface opposite to the contact position with the concave portion 2a.
A screw 8 communicates with the hammer member 3 from a and is tightened, and the hammer member 3 is fixed to the grip portion 2. The recess 2a is closed by the concealing member 6, so that the screw 8 is not exposed to the outside.

The insertion shaft 3a of the hammer member 3 is formed with a bearing receiving portion 3c which is opened from the inside to the side, and a spring 7 and a bearing 7 are provided in the bearing receiving portion 3c from the inside to the outside. 4 are interposed in order.
The bearing 4 has a spherical shape, is urged outward by a spring 7, and partially projects outward. The entrance of the bearing housing 3c is smaller than the diameter of the bearing 4, so that the bearing 4 does not come off the bearing housing 3c.

A recess 9d is formed in the inner surface of the insertion hole 9c of the receiving member 9, and the position of the recess 9d is determined by inserting the insertion shaft 3a of the hammer member 3 into the insertion hole 9c of the receiving member 9. The projecting portion of the bearing 4 to the outside is exactly the concave portion 9.
d. That is, the hammer member 3 is integrated with the receiving member 9 by the bearing 4 which is biased by the spring 7 to the side of the insertion shaft 3a and partially protrudes, and the mechanism in which the protruding portion of the bearing 4 is fitted into the recess 9d. And keep it in the state

Therefore, as shown in FIG.
In a state where the insertion shaft 3a is inserted into the insertion hole 9c of the receiving member 9, the gripper 2 is fixed to the roof side 12 of the vehicle 11 as shown in FIG.
It does not fall off the roof side 12 and fall.

In order to release the grip 2 from the roof side 12 of the vehicle 11, the grip 2 is gripped with one hand and the direction of the hammer member 3 entering the receiving member 9 is determined against the urging force of the spring 7. What is necessary is just to pull in a substantially parallel direction. The strength of the spring 7 is such that if the grip 2 is pulled in such a direction, the hammer member 3 can be sufficiently released from the receiving member 9 even with the force of an elderly person or a child. That is, arrow 1 shown in FIG.
By pulling the grip portion 2 in the direction of 4, the hammer member 3 can be sufficiently detached from the receiving member 9 with the force of an old man or a child. FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing a method of detaching the assist grip with hammer from the inside of the roof side of the vehicle according to one embodiment of the present invention.

However, when the assist grip 1 with a hammer is used as a suspension leather when getting on and off the vehicle 11,
Since a force is applied to the grip portion 2 in a direction different from the arrow 14 as indicated by an arrow 13, the hammer member 3 does not separate from the receiving member 9. That is, the insertion shaft 3 of the hammer member 3
a is interposed in the insertion hole 9c of the receiving member 9 in a substantially close state, and a predetermined friction acts between the members against an external force in a direction other than the arrow 14, and the magnitude of the frictional force is reduced. Since it increases in proportion to the applied force, when the assist grip with hammer 1 is used as a normal hanging strap, the hammer member 3 does not separate from the receiving member 9 regardless of the magnitude of the applied tensile stress.

Next, a method of using the assist grip 1 with a hammer according to the present embodiment will be described. If the vehicle 11 falls onto a river, sea, or the like for any reason, the gripper 2 of the assist grip 1 with a hammer provided on the roof side 12 immediately above the side window near the seat where each person is sitting is used. 6, that is, in a direction parallel to the traveling direction of the hammer member 3 when the hammer member 3 is inserted into the receiving member 9, and
From the roof side 12. At this time, the hammer member 3 is detached from the receiving member 9 while being integrated at both ends of the grip portion 2. Therefore, if the end of the hammer member 3 is beaten toward a glass part such as a windshield, a rear glass, or a side glass, the beaten glass part is broken and an opening is formed. As a result, the opening formed by breaking the glass portion becomes a difficult hole and can escape from the vehicle.

As described above, the assist grip 1 with a hammer according to the present embodiment has a grip portion 2 having a band shape of a predetermined width and a length portion necessary for gripping with a central hand curved concavely in the thickness direction.
A hammer member 3 which is substantially rod-shaped and is vertically provided one at each of both end portions of the grip portion 2 and has a weight and hardness necessary for breaking a window of the vehicle 11 to be provided; Vehicle 1
1 has a through hole 9c that can be embedded and fixed inside the roof side 12, and has a through hole 9c through which the hammer member 3 is inserted. When the hammer member 3 is inserted through the through hole 9c, the grip portion 2 is used as a normal hanging strap. Even the insertion hole 9c
When the hammer member 3 is not detached from the gripping member and a tensile stress of a magnitude that can be easily applied to the grip portion 2 by a human force only in a predetermined direction is applied, the hammer member 3 is removed from the insertion hole 9c. Receiving member 9 that can be detached
And

Therefore, in the assist grip 1 with a hammer according to the present embodiment, when the gripper 2 is gripped and an external force is applied in a predetermined direction, the gripper 2 is provided with a hammer member 3 at each of both ends.
If the hammer member 3 is easily disengaged from the inside of the roof side 12 of the vehicle 11 to be installed while being fixed one by one and the hammer member 3 is beaten toward a glass portion such as a windshield, a side glass, or a rear glass, the hit glass portion is obtained. Can be destroyed, so that the vehicle 11 can escape from the inside of the vehicle to the outside of the vehicle within a limited time until it is submerged when the vehicle 11 falls into a river, the sea, or the like. Moreover, since the suspension leather itself is provided inside the roof side 12 of the vehicle 11, it can be easily found even in the vehicle 11 that has fallen into a river or the like and is submerged, and does not impair the design of the vehicle. . In addition, it can be arranged at low cost by also being used as hanging leather. In particular, if the assist grip 1 with a hammer according to the present embodiment is disposed immediately above each of a plurality of side windows on the inside of the roof side 12 of the vehicle 11, each person in the vehicle is most likely to have Since the nearby windows can be destroyed, each person can escape from the vehicle quickly without panic.

In the above description, the assist grip 1 with a hammer is provided in place of the normal suspension leather provided in the vehicle 11, but is not necessarily provided in place of the normal suspension leather provided in the vehicle 11. It is not necessary to provide it, and it may be provided separately from the normal suspension leather provided in the vehicle 11. In particular, the location where the assist grip 1 with a hammer is disposed is not limited to a passenger car, but may also be disposed on a vehicle such as a truck or a bus traveling on land, various trains, various ships, various aircraft, or the like. No problem. The same effects as those provided in a passenger car can be obtained even when these devices are provided in these various vehicles.

In the above description, the material of the hammer member 3 is a metal such as iron or stainless steel. However, the material is not necessarily limited to metal. And so on. Even if it is made of a material other than metal, if it has enough strength and weight to break the glass parts provided in each window of the vehicle, each glass part can be broken and escape from the vehicle.

In the above description, the protrusion 3d as shown in FIG. 7 is formed at the tip of the hammer member 3 which comes into contact with the glass 11 such as the windshield, side glass and rear glass of the vehicle 11 when the glass is broken. No problem. FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing another example of the assist grip with hammer according to one embodiment of the present invention. If the protrusion 3d is formed at the tip of the hammer member 3, the force applied when hitting each glass part of the vehicle 11 is concentrated at one point by the protrusion 3d. Even a relatively small person can easily break each glass portion of the vehicle 11 and escape from the vehicle.

Further, in the above description, the shape of the hammer member 3 is a substantially square pole, but it is not necessarily limited to a square pillar. Other polygonal pillars or cylinders may be used. FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing still another example of the assist grip with hammer according to one embodiment of the present invention. FIG.
In the hammer member 3, the shape of the insertion shaft 3a is not only a hexagonal prism, but also a protrusion 3d is formed at the tip. For this reason, as in the case of the hammer member 3 shown in FIG. 7, when each glass portion of the vehicle 11 is hit, the applied force is concentrated on one point by the projections 3d. However, each glass portion of the vehicle 11 can be easily broken, and can escape from the vehicle.

In the above description, the hammer member 3 is
In the insertion hole 9c of the receiving member 9, it is mechanically supported by the bearing 4 urged by the spring 7, but it is not necessarily required to be mechanically supported, and may be attracted and supported by a magnet. .
