Vehicle Safety Equipment Fire Extinguisher And Escape Hammer

Vehicle Safety Equipment Fire Extinguisher and Escape Hammer is an innovative dual-purpose safety device designed specifically for automotive applications, combining essential emergency response tools in a compact, user-friendly format. This integrated safety solution, developed by designers Tongxin Zhang, Ruochen Fu, Chongyang Liu, and Guangren Zhai, addresses the critical safety gap in private vehicles, where statistics indicate that over 50% lack fire extinguishers and 70% lack escape hammers. The device, measuring 60x60x200mm, features a replaceable dry powder fire extinguishing system effective against gasoline fires, alongside an integrated escape hammer mechanism that can be activated by rotating the base clockwise. Its ergonomic design prioritizes ease of use during emergency situations, with a comfortable grip and intuitive operation sequence that begins with opening the safety valve, followed by agent dispersal targeting the fire source. The innovative design, which won an Iron A' Design Award in the Vehicle Parts, Auto Accessories and Care Products Design category, represents a significant advancement in vehicle safety equipment by offering a space-efficient, reusable solution that can be conveniently placed anywhere within a vehicle's interior. The development process, conducted through extensive user interviews and expert consultations, focused on creating a practical solution that overcomes the limitations of traditional, bulky single-use fire extinguishers while providing an essential emergency escape tool in a single, integrated unit.
