Abstract

Blanket, disposable towel or adhesive tape which detects the presence of humidity and activates a visible signal or sound alarm. It is comprised of an absorbing fabric wherein is wrapped an electricity conducting material. Upon receiving electroconducting liquid substances an electronic circuit closes and activates the alarm signal. The equipment can be used in health applications to help prevent suffocation by vomiting (broncho-aspiration), to help prevent catching colds and other diseases caused by humidity and to detect liquid leaks during intravenous application of substances.

Description

"COBERTOR, DETECTOR DE HUMEDAD" ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN "COVER, MOISTURE DETECTOR" BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

5 Dentro del ámbito de la medicina no existe en el mercado algún dispositivo que prevenga los problemas que se presentan en niños con enfermedad del píloro donde se han presentado múltiples decesos por broncoaspiración 5 Within the field of medicine there is no device on the market that prevents problems that occur in children with pylorus disease where multiple deaths due to bronchoaspiration have occurred

Por consiguiente la idea de diseñar un aparato para ayudar a prevenir tales 10 problemas, permitió, además ayudar a prevenir otras situaciones de ahogamiento por vómito en bebes ancianos y otros enfermos inmóvilesTherefore the idea of designing a device to help prevent such 10 problems, allowed also help prevent other situations drowning babies vomiting in elderly patients and other immobile

El dispositivo ayuda además , a prevenir el resfrío y otras enfermedades causadas por la humedad, en particular, en seres humanos que no pueden utilizar pañales i s desechablesThe device also helps prevent cold and other diseases caused by moisture, particularly in humans who cannot use disposable diapers and diapers.

En enfermos inmóviles, puede enviar señales de alerta en situaciones de fugas de líquidos, tales como sueros, medicamentos o sangre, lo importante es que se trate de un líquido conductor de electricidadIn immobile patients, you can send warning signals in situations of liquid leaks, such as serums, medications or blood, the important thing is that it is an electrically conductive liquid

DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓNDESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

La invención consiste en un cobertor, toalla desechable o cinta adhesiva que detecta la humedad excretada por un cuerpo humano de cualquier edad o la presencia de 25 cualquier sustancia líquida conductora de electricidad ajena al cuerpo que puede causar algún accidente. El complemento de este dispositivo es una alarma que emite un sonido o una señal visible.The invention consists of a cover, disposable towel or adhesive tape that detects the moisture excreted by a human body of any age or the presence of any liquid conductive substance of electricity outside the body that can cause an accident. The complement of this device is an alarm that emits a sound or a visible signal.

Los detalles características de este aparato se muestran en la siguiente descripción v 30 en los dibujos que se acompañan iThe characteristic details of this apparatus are shown in the following description v 30 in the accompanying drawings i

La figura 1 es una perspectiva convencional del aparato con sus componentes El No 1 representa el cobertor, es toalla desechable o cinta adhesiva que detecta la humedad el No 2 el cable de conexión y el No 3 el dispositivo de alarmaFigure 1 is a conventional perspective of the device with its components No. 1 represents the cover, it is a disposable towel or adhesive tape that detects the humidity of the No. 2 connection cable and No. 3 of the alarm device

En la figura 2 se representan los componentes del dispositivo que registra la presencia de humedad En el interior del cobertor toalla desechable o cinta adhesiva (No 3) se localiza un cable flexible conductor de electricidad u otro material conductor de electricidad que puede ser una pintura conductora (No 1 ) este material se instala en un arreglo geométrico que permita que la humedad lo interconecte para cerrar un circulo electrónico El No 2 es un dispositivo que interconecta el sensor con la alarmaFigure 2 shows the components of the device that records the presence of moisture. Inside the disposable towel or adhesive tape cover (No 3) there is a flexible electric conductor cable or other electrically conductive material that can be a conductive paint (No 1) This material is installed in a geometric arrangement that allows moisture to interconnect it to close an electronic circle The No 2 is a device that interconnects the sensor with the alarm

La figura No 3 representa un dispositivo de alarma con sus componentes pero es solo como modalidad ilustrativa de la aplicación de la invención ya que se puede usar cualquier variante de sistemas de alarmas conocidas La señal proveniente del cobertor se recibe a través de un cable (No 10) y un conector (No 11 ) y se transmite a un par de transistores (No 4) conectados en configuración Darlington esto trabajan con sus componentes asociados tales como resistencias (No 7) que entran en conducción para activar un revelador de estado sólido (No 6) que es el que finalmente acciona una bocina (No 8) con un oscilador intermitente integrado El revelador lleva en su bocina un diodo (No 5) en paralelo para evitar oscilaciones erráticas El circuito se alimenta con una batería de 9 voltios (No 9)Figure 3 represents an alarm device with its components but it is only as an illustrative modality of the application of the invention since any variant of known alarm systems can be used. The signal from the cover is received through a cable (No 10) and a connector (No. 11) and is transmitted to a pair of transistors (No. 4) connected in Darlington configuration that work with their associated components such as resistors (No. 7) that go into conduction to activate a solid state developer ( No 6) which is the one that finally drives a horn (No 8) with an integrated intermittent oscillator The developer carries a diode (No 5) in parallel to avoid erratic oscillations The circuit is powered by a 9 volt battery (No 9)

La idea del cobertor, toalla o cinta adhesiva que puede ser cualquier tela absorbente de la humedad, ya sea de algodón o de algún material desechable y los electrodos instalados ya sea algún cable conductor u otro material conductor de electricidad constituyen, en parte, lo novedoso del equipoThe idea of the cover, towel or adhesive tape that can be any moisture-absorbent fabric, either cotton or some disposable material and the electrodes installed either a conductive cable or other electrically conductive material constitute, in part, the novelty of the team

La separación entre los electrodos determinan el tiempo de respuesta de la alarma que funciona de la siguiente manera a) Al derramarse algún líquido conductor de electricidad sobre la superficie del cobertor, se cierra un circuito que pone en funcionamiento la alarmaThe separation between the electrodes determines the response time of the alarm that works as follows a) When an electrically conductive liquid is spilled on the surface of the cover, a circuit is closed that puts the alarm into operation

b) Mientras el cobertor, toalla desechable o cinta adhesiva estén húmedos, permanecerán activados, por consiguiente, deberán secarse cambiarse o desecharseb) While the cover, disposable towel or adhesive tape is wet, they will remain activated, therefore, they should be dried, changed or discarded

En cuanto a las posibilidades de utilización o aplicación se enumeran las siguientes a) En ayuda a prevenir el ahogamiento por vómito en bebés con enfermedad del píloro o reflujo, vómito en ancianos y demás enfermos inmóvilesRegarding the possibilities of use or application, the following are listed a) In helping to prevent choking by vomiting in babies with pylorus or reflux disease, vomiting in the elderly and other immobile patients
