Product test

When using ordinary window break, it needs 13-15 kg of force to break a window in an emergency. However, women usually spend about 12 kg of force at the first moment to hit. With each hitting, the power becomes weaker. When user pull the handle only with 8 kg of force, then release it, the strong and small spring(10mm) will provide more than 17 kg of force instantly.

Corner Breaker 2.0

Corner Breaker 2.0

At the first time, we designed it as a slingshot. Break windows with less strength by pulling rubber band, and it keep users' hand away from the broken window. However, it can not hit the right position of the window. Thus, we thought the structure be used in spring clip would be more suitable because it is more steady.besides, the base which is the part be bonded with window is design for preventing user from hurting by the shards of glass.
