  • Patent number: 6666566
    Abstract: An emergency device includes a housing having a lamp end and a rear distal end, with a gripping area therebetween. A mounting area is provided on the housing at the distal end, with the mounting area being generally perpendicular to a length direction of the housing. A glass breaking spike is mounted on the mounting area. In use, the flashlight is propelled towards a glass pane so that the glass breaking spike strikes the glass pane at an impact point. Since inertial energy of the flashlight and flashlight batteries is also concentrated in the glass breaking spike, inertial forces are transferred to the glass breaker and assist in propelling the glass breaker into the pane of glass.

  • Patent number: 5904414
    Abstract: A flashlight that includes a substantially watertight battery housing, a bulb mounted in a socket assembly, a reflector, and a lens covering a forward end of the reflector. A plurality of batteries are supported in the housing so that only if the batteries are correctly polarized will a circuit be completed to allow current from the batteries to energize the bulb. This reduces the emission of flammable gas or corrosive liquid from the batteries. A membrane seals a vent port in the battery housing and is made of a material that permits a flammable gas generated by the batteries within the housing to continuously escape from the housing through the membrane without permitting water to enter the housing through the membrane. Pellets are mounted inside the battery housing for neutralizing the effects of any flammable gas emitted within the battery housing that may have nevertheless been produced and not adequately vented.

  • Patent number: 5711079
    Abstract: A sacrificial anode element is connected to a knife blade to protect against galvanic corrosion. The knife also has non-metallic components that electrically insulate the metallic components of the knife from one another to further inhibit galvanic corrosion. The knife may be readily disassembled without tools. This feature enables a user to clean or dry the internal portions as well as to customize the knife by replacing its components with similar components of different materials, shapes and other useful properties. For example, a user may choose between a blade made of a metal that is exceedingly resistant to corrosion but dulls after an average period of use and a blade that is of average corrosion resistance but holds an edge exceedingly well. Other replaceable components may be selected from a group of like components of different colors.
