Abstract

A rechargeable battery set e.g. for a mobile phone comprises a power supply encased within a housing 10, an alarm generator disposed within the housing and in electrical connection with the power supply via a manually actuateable switch 11 to generate audio signal 17 via an audio signal generator, when the switch is turned on. A flash generator is electrically connected to the power supply via a high voltage generator which is in turn connected to the power supply via the switch 11 so that when the switched is turned on, a high voltage is supplied to the flash generator to generate an electrical flash 16. The invention allows use of the phone spare battery beyond its normal function.

Description

RECHARGEABLE BATTERY SET WITH RESCUE ALARM AND FLASH FUNCTIONS riFLD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a rechargeable battery set, such as those used to power mobile phones, and in particular to a rechargeable battery set having rescue alarm and electric flash function for user's body protection.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Mobile phones have been widely used nowadays, especially in urban areas. Mobile phones are powered by rechargeable battery sets.
Very often, besides the battery set that is mounted to and being used to power the mobile phone, at least one spare battery set is also carried.
Conventionally, the battery sets are only for powering the mobile phones and provides no other functions. Since the battery set not only occupies space, but also has quite a weight which increases the load that the user of mobile phone has to take, it is desirable to provide the battery set with functions other than just powering the mobile phone by making use of the electrical power stored therein.
SUMAMARY OF THE INVENTION The principal object of the present invention is to provide a rechargeable battery set that, besides just powering an electrical appliance, such as a mobile phone, has other functions by making use the electrical energy stored therein.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a rechargeable battery set having a rescue alarm which when actuated generates sound of high decibels for calling for help.
In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a battery set comprising a power supply encased in a housing, a rescue alarm electrically connected to and powered by the battery via a switch so that when the switch is turned on, sounds of high decibels are generated and emitted by a speaker or buzzer incorporated inside the housing. A flash generator is also mounted within the housing and connected to the power supply to generate flash signal for rescue purpose.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The present invention will be better understood from the following description of a preferred embodiment thereof, with reference to the attached drawings, wherein: Fig. 1 is a block diagram of circuit of the rescue alarm and the electrical flash generated by a rechargeable battery set constructed in accordance with the present invention; Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing the rechargeable battery set in accordance with the present invention; and Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing the rechargeable battery set of the present invention wherein the a flash is emitted.
DETALLED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT With reference to the drawings and in particular to Fig. 1 which shows a block diagram of the circuit in accordance with the present invention, the circuit of the present invention comprises a power supply 10, which is encased inside a housing 20 to constitute a rechargeable battery set 100 (see Figs. 2 and 3) and into which the circuit is incorporated, a manual switch 11, an alarm generator 12 which is electrically connected to the power supply 10 via the switch I 1 so that when the switch I 1 is turned on, the alarm generator 12 is powered. An audio signal generator 15, such as a speaker or a buzzer, is connected to the alarm generator 12 so that when the alarm generator 12 is actuated, the audio signal generator 15 generates and emits sounds of high decibels for rescue purpose.
The circuit of the present invention further comprises a high voltage generator 13 which is in parallel with the alarm generator 12 and electrically connected to the power supply 10 via the switch 11 so that when the switch 11 is turned on, the high voltage generator 13 receives electricity of low voltage and high current from the power supply 10 and converts the electricity into a high voltage but lov current. A flash signal generator 16 is connected to the high voltage generator 13 to generate flashing, also for rescue purpose.
With particular reference to Figs. 2 and 3, wherein a rechargeable battery set constructed in accordance with the present invention, generally designated with reference numeral 100, is shown, the rechargeable battery set 100 comprises the housing 20 inside which a power source or supply is encased as a regular battery set. The battery set 100 also incorporates the circuit for the generation of the audio and video rescue signals and the electric flash..
The housing 20 comprises a plurality of apertures 17 adjacent the audio signal generator 15 mounted therein to allow the audio signal (sounds of high decibels) generated by the generator 15 to emit out of the housing 20.
The housing 20 also have a slot 21 to receive the switch 1 1 therein and to allow the switch 11 to be accessible by a user. The switch 11 is movable between a first position where the switch 11 is turned on and a second position where the switch 1 1 is turned off.
The housing 20 is provided with an opening 22 through which the flashing signal generated by the flash generator 16 is allowed to emit out of the housing.
The battery set of the present invention provides user's body protection and rescue functions without significant modification of the outside contour of the regular battery set so that it not only provides the function of power supply, but also have additional functions-of rescue and user self-protection.
Although a preferred embodiment has been described to illustrate the present invention, it is apparent that changes and modifications in the specifically described embodiment can be carried out without departing from the scope of the invention which is intended to be limited only by the appended claims.
