Claim Text:
1. A glass breaking tool for breaking a glass pane comprising a head adapted to be pressed against the glass pane to be broken, the head having an end surface to at least partially abut the glass pane where the end surface includes an opening sized to allow movement of a pin crusher disposed within the head, the head having disposed therein a release mechanism for releasing the pin crusher that is movable between an in-position in which a tip of the pin crusher is inside the head and an out-position in which the tip of the pin crusher is at least partly outside the head by extending past the end surface; an outermost housing that serves as a handle, the outermost housing movable with respect to the head between a first position in which the outermost housing is basically free from the release mechanism to lock the pin crusher in the in-position and a second position in which the outermost housing is adapted to unlock the release mechanism to release the pin crusher to move to the out-position; further comprising an elastic mechanism to pretension the outermost housing to the first position and to move the pin crusher from the in-position to the out-position in the second position of the outermost housing when the release mechanism is unlocked, wherein the tool is adjustable between a rest position in which the pin crusher is locked in the in-position, a releasing position in which the pin crusher is released from the in-position, and a breaking position in which the pin crusher is in the out-position whereby the tip of the pin crusher extends past the end surface, and wherein the release mechanism further comprises a beak that is opened by the outermost housing when the outermost housing is in the second position.
