Definitions

  • This invention refers to an optical acoustical signalling apparatus, particularly for personal safety.
  • An object of the invention is to realize an apparatus suitable to generate signals when situations arise, which are considered anomalous according to the foreseen program.
  • Another object of the invention is to realize an apparatus which is able to act immediately and automatically when an anomalous situation arises, without taking into consideration the will or psycho-physical capacity of the person directly involved, for example, in the case of serious motory impediment or fainting.
  • a further object of the invention is to realize an apparatus easily portable, preferably pocket for practical use, which avoids continuous energy consumption when the apparatus is operating, and therefore having reduced size and weight of the electrical energy source necessary for its supply.
  • an optical acoustical signalling apparatus particularly for personal safety, characterized in that it comprises an optical acoustical signaller and an operating and controlling unit, which comprises:
  • the apparatus comprises an operating and controlling unit, generically indicated by 1, of pocket size, and an optical acoustical signaller, generically indicated by 2. Normally the unit 1 is kept in the pocket, whilst the signaller 2 is applied to a jacket shoulder and connected to the unit 1 by means of a cable 3.
  • the unit 1 comprises a box shaped shell 4, in which a knob type switch 5 is foreseen, of such a size for a comfortable use even for a gloved hand, and also for immediate observation even from a distance of a few metres.
  • a key 6 is foreseen for operation, as will be better clarified further on, of the optical signaller 7, the grooved operating head of the two-position and three-way commutator 8, in order to set the apparatus in two different functions, and the display 9 of a time counter 10.
  • a resetting key 11 of the time counter 10 is foreseen.
  • the optical acoustical signaller 2 comprises a substantially parallelepipedic small shell 13, provided with two supports 14 for shoulder or bandolier. It is substantially divided horizontally in two portions, a higher 15 and a lower 16.
  • the higher portion 15 is provided with transparent protection 17 of the optical signaller 7, which can consist of an or incandescent or gaseous discharging light, or also by a non-visible light generator, for example infrared.
  • the lower portion 16 houses the acoustic transducer 18 and has openings 19 for the signal exit.
  • the electric circuit of the apparatus according to the invention essentially comprises the supply battery 12, the general switch 5 connected in series to this and a number of circuits supplied through said switch 5 by the battery 12.
  • the apparatus according to the invention comprises a generator of electrical temporally adjustable signals, having the output connected to the optical signaller 7.
  • the set input of the generator 20 is supplied either by the.battery 12, via the key 6, or by the output of a second generator 22 of electrical signals, also temporally adjustable, and supplied by the battery 12.
  • the output of the generator 22, other than being connected at the set input of the generator 20, is also connected to the acoustic transducer 18 and the time counter 10, provided with indipendent supply 24 and resettable, as already stated, via the key 11.
  • the set input of the generator 22 is connected to the commutator 8.
  • Two of the three inputs of the commutator 8 are connected to an inertial switch 25, of a well-known type.
  • the third input of the commutator 8 is connected to the supply 12 via a resistance 26.
  • the two inputs connected to the inertial switch 25 lead to the supply 12 via a resistance 27 and to the set input of the generator 22 respectively.
  • the input connected to the supply, via the resistance 26 leads to the set input of the generator 22, whilst the two inputs connected to the inertial switch 25 lead to the reset input of the generator 22 and to earth respectively.
  • the operating of the apparatus according to the invention comes about in a different way, according to the position of the commutator 8, and more precisely, if this is set in the position shown by a full line in the drawings, the apparatus according to the invention operates as a dynamic stress detector, whilst in the other position it operates as a detector of absence of dynamic stress.
  • the two generators 20 and 22 are supplied. As the respective set inputs are not activated, the two generators are not started and the apparatus is in a stand by condition, and does not absorb energy.
  • the inertial switch 25 short-circuits its terminals and supplies the set input of the generator 22 via the resistance 2.7.
  • the starting of the generator 22 causes:
  • the two generators 20 and 22 are supplied and the generator 22 is started too for activation of its set input via the resistance 26. If in the time settled by its regulator 23 the inertial switch 25 is not subjected to an inertial stress, the generator 22 activates the acoustic signaller 18, the time counter -10 and -the generator 20 which, after the time, setted by its regulator 21, activates the optical signaller 7. Should that not be the case, the reset input of the generator 22 is earthed via the inertial switch 25 and neither the optical nor acoustical signal is given out.
  • the apparatus When the apparatus is set for signalling the absence of dynamic stress, it can operate advantageously as a flasher. In this case the user presses the key 6 and in such a way activates the generator 20 independently from the fact that the generator 22 is kept blocked.
  • the use of the apparatus in this utilization way is particularly advantageous in the case that emission of a luminous signal is required by a person who has had an accident but however cannot remain immobile and at the same time wishes to facilitate research from other people.
