DE102007042015A1 - Bird protection sticker for use with obstacles such as window panes, has liquid crystal display surface and built-in solar cell, where liquid crystal display surface is divided into two different areas - Google Patents

Abstract

The bird protection sticker has a liquid crystal display (LCD) surface (1) and a built-in solar cell (2). The bird protection sticker is based on simulation of motion. The built-in solar cell and the LCD surface are supplied with a necessary power. The LCD surface is divided into two different areas. A bird body is remained permanently as a visible or laid out surface. Multiple rows are increased and decreased in an area of two wings, symmetrically or relatively to the bird body, at certain intervals in series or in waves to produce a visual movement.

Description

Approximately 250000 birds fly daily on windows and similar Obstacles to death - often unnoticed by us humans. Many of them are not dead right away die later on internal injuries. Then usually get cats and others Prey the victims. At hatching time starved in such cases too still the brood of an injured man Bird. At least 70 species of birds are affected, from blackbird and kingfisher over Sparrowhawk to Wren.

Unfortunately the well-known black silhouettes of birds of prey do not use anything. See birds Silent silhouettes not as a danger, but only as an obstacle. They dodge this and then pop it against the glass. When the silhouette hangs on the inside of the window and the disc reflects, it is not even recognizable as an obstacle.

in the Unlike the previous bird protection stickers is at this Further development (by, for example, the following technique) the natural flight behavior of birds of prey imitated.

The simulated movement leaves the bird of prey in comparison to the full-surface, black stickers appear more realistic, so that he from other birds is recognized as a danger and instinctive escape behavior result Has.

So let yourself reduce the number of bird deaths.

The Fact that birds because of her enormous visual radius and the very mobile pupil movement or danger emanating from other living things, very much recognize early and react accordingly benefits this invention.

possibility the technical implementation of simulated motion:

Of the Bird protection sticker still has the silhouette of a bird of prey and is about 1 mm thick. The sticker can be outside or inside with adhesive tape or similar be attached to the disc. The side, the outside space facing, consists of a liquid crystal display (LCD).

There LCDs need almost no power, you can operate on a solar basis by means of an integrated solar cell (cf. Calculator).

The display area in the area of the two wings is steadily increasing and decreasing in intervals corresponding to the natural flight strike (see 1 - 9 ).

So There is an optical movement, that of a real, flying one Bird of prey is modeled.

Of the body trunk is excluded from the simulated movement and remains permanent recognizable.

These The movement of nature modeled after the nature of the approaching bird early recognize - no matter from which angle he approaches the glass pane.

Claims (3)

Sticker based on the simulation of motion consisting of: 1 LCD surface 2 solar cell Bird protection sticker, which is characterized in that the built-in solar cell ( 2 ), the LCD surface ( 1 ) supplied with the necessary power. Bird protection sticker, which is characterized in that the LCD surface ( 2 ) is divided into two different areas. The bird's hull remains permanently recognizable as an (applied) surface. In the area of the two wings, the rows symmetrically increase (in relation to the bird's body) at certain intervals in rows or waves and again from. This creates an optical movement.
