Abstract
An arrangement comprising a main body having a head continuous with a grip, an LED housed in the main body for emitting warning light from within the grip, a light bulb housed in the main body for emitting warning light through glass disposed in at the front end of the head, a light emission controller for controlling the emission of light from the LED and light bulb, and a percussion imparting member attached to the head for breaking a window glass in a car. This arrangement makes it unnecessary to secure a space for installing both a hammer and an emergency signal instrument in a car.
Claims39
A hammer-equipped emergency signal device comprising:
- a hollow main body which has a grip having an elliptic cross section and an enlarged head having a circular cross section continuous with said grip;
- at least the grip of said main body being made of light-permeable material;
- a first light emitting body housed in said grip for emitting warning light from within and through said grip;
- a second light emitting body housed in said head for emitting warning light through a disk-like light-permeable plate disposed in the front end of the head;
- a light emitting circuit housed in said main body and equipped with a light emission controller for controlling the emission of light from said first and second light emitting bodies and a battery disposed in the grip;
- a control switch body disposed in said main body and adapted to turn off or on said light emitting circuit when the main body is placed in or removed from a holder provided in a car;
- magnets disposed around the outer periphery of the front end surface of said head;
- the outer periphery of said head serving as a hammer portion for breaking glass in a car;
- said hammer portion having a percussion imparting member attached thereto and protruding in the longer diameter direction of the grip;
- and
- a cutter for cutting a seat belt, disposed at a position continuous with said grip and head and extending in the shorter diameter direction of the grip.
