A multifunctional device comprising:
- a body comprising:
- a top cover with a substantially flat top portion and a bottom portion that form a second cavity therebetween, said top cover comprising at least one magnet disposed in said second cavity;
- a bottom cover with a bottom portion and an open top portion, said bottom cover secured to the top cover such that a first cavity is formed therebetween;
- and
- a striking assembly provided with a guide rib and a pull-off prevention first flange on an outer surface that engages a complementary guide groove and a complementary anti-disengagement chuck provided on an inner wall of the body and is disposed within the first cavity in a plane perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the body and encloses a striking mechanism comprising:
- a substantially cylindrical sliding holder with a substantially circular second axial opening at a proximal end;
- a striking tip integrally attached by a second flange in the second axial opening at the proximal end of the sliding holder;
- a floating spring disposed against a back surface of the holder;
- a striking head with a substantially flat proximal end and a substantially flat distal end that has a ring-shaped shoulder formed at the proximal end and a third flange formed at the distal end thereof, whereby a transition gap is disposed between a front side of the opening of the sliding holder and the shoulder of the striking head;
- a striking spring disposed axially around said striking head between a back surface of the shoulder and the distal end of the striking head;
- a stopper disposed at a back end of the second axial opening against said striking spring;
- and
- an alignment member disposed directly under the striking head and formed on an inner surface of the holder, said alignment member comprising a guide ramp in contact with a back surface of the ring-shaped shoulder of the striking head configured to lift said striking head and to align the striking head along the longitudinal axis of the sliding holder and the striking tip;
- and
- a blade secured to the body.
A multifunctional tool functioning as a safety hammer, a cutter, and a mobile device holder for use in a vehicle comprising:
- a top cover with a substantially flat top portion configured for attachment of a mobile device and a bottom portion, said bottom portion comprising a plurality of recesses disposed thereon configured to receive a plurality of magnets;
- a bottom cover with a bottom portion and an open top portion, said bottom cover secured to the top cover such that a first cavity is formed therebetween;
- a striking assembly disposed within the first cavity configured to break a window in the vehicle;
- a blade disposed on an outer surface of the multifunctional tool configured to cut a seat belt in the vehicle and
- a clip disposed on the bottom surface of the bottom cover configured for removable attachment of the multifunctional tool to a surface.
