Description

The present invention relates to a housing for an identification object of a person, for example an identification card holder. It further relates to an identification object with such a housing and the use of such an identification object.

In the case of cardiac arrest, the immediate, proper conduct of a chest compressions massage is often crucial for the survival of the patient. However, self-trained first-aiders often find it difficult to keep the optimal rhythm of a chest compressions for several minutes in emergency situations.

From the US 8,317,519 B1 For example, a portable heart rate monitor is known that can be used by a healthcare professional to prescribe a heart pressure massage rhythm that is tailored to the particular patient, particularly their age.

However, such a clock can hardly be used by medical laypersons. In addition, he is not available in emergency situations outside of hospitals, when lay people act as first responders.

It is an object of the present invention to provide an aid to medical laypersons who perform cardiac massage in the event of a cardiac arrest as a first responder.

This object is solved by the subject matter of the independent patent claim. Further embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims.

According to one aspect of the invention, there is provided a housing for an identification object of a person having a receptacle for the identification object, the housing further comprising a clock fixedly connected to the housing for delivering a rhythmic cardiac pressure massage signal.

An identification object is understood here and below as an object which is used for the identification and / or authentication of persons who thus carry or generate information that is suitable for identification and / or authentication. In particular, the identification object may be a company card, a transponder card for access control ("ID card") or a so-called security token.

Accordingly, the housing may contain, in addition to the identification object, a clock generator which, in emergency situations, determines the rhythm for a cardiac massage. This has the advantage that the clock is permanently connected to an object that people often carry with them anyway. Thus, the timer is also automatically carried and in an emergency may be present in both the person to be treated and the attending first responder, but most likely at least one of the two.

The connection of the clock with an object, which leads a large number of people anyway with you constantly, causes these people can always display the optimal rhythm for a chest compressions. This in turn increases the likelihood that a cardiac massage can be successfully performed.

In one embodiment, the housing is designed as a card holder. In particular, it can act as a card holder for a post ISO 7816 standardized ID-1 card, also known as a credit card-sized card. Such cards with a format of 85.60 mm × 53.98 mm are often used for identification, even in the form of transponder cards.

In one embodiment, the clock is located in the lower portion of the badge holder beneath the identification card tray. This allows the ID card holder can be used in the known manner by inserting the card in the receiving area. It extends in the attached state only by the accommodation of the clock a little further down than a conventional ID card holder without a clock.

In this embodiment, the housing may have a further receiving area for receiving a second card with printed first aid information in addition to the receiving area for the ID card. In this embodiment, a second, not visible from the front card with the same format as the ID card can be accommodated in the receiving area behind the ID card. This card is visible from the back of the card holder and has instructions for taking first aid.

Also conceivable is an embodiment in which the first-aid information is printed on a page, in particular the back of the ID card holder, or applied in a similar manner. This has the advantage that the instructions are not can be lost. Such an identity card holder with first aid information can also have a further receiving area for receiving a second card in addition to the receiving area for the identity card.

Such ID card holders equipped with first aid instructions have the advantage that the ID card holder can also contain such instructions in addition to the clock without the dimensions of the ID card holder being significantly influenced. The receiving area only has to be slightly wider for receiving the second card.

Alternatively or additionally, it may be provided that the identification card holder has a memory and a playback device for audio files in order to be able to provide the user with voice instructions.

In one embodiment of the invention, the housing is designed as a housing of a security token. Here and below is understood by a security token an object that can store and transfer information for the purpose of identification and authentication of persons. Such a security token has a housing, which is usually made of plastic and inside which the corresponding electronics are housed. Furthermore, the housing often has a display e.g. for displaying a PIN or USB port on and an area where a fastener, e.g. can be attached for attachment to a keychain.

In one embodiment, the clock is integrated into the housing. For this purpose, the housing is formed as a part, for example made of plastic, which accommodates both the clock and has the receiving area for the identification object.

The clock can be activated by a control. The control is suitably designed so that it can not be operated by mistake. For example, the control element can be designed as a sunk button. Alternatively or additionally, actuation of the operating element may require pressing the button for a certain period of time, for example 2 seconds. Alternatively or additionally, it is conceivable that the sound sequence is started upon actuation of the operating element and is terminated again only upon repeated actuation of the operating element. In a further development, it is provided that an emergency service is notified with the actuation of the control element, for this purpose the identification card holder can in particular have a telemetry module.

The clock may be particularly electronic type, in which case a power supply is provided. Conceivable here is in particular a battery or similar suitable power supplies. It is conceivable that a monitoring device is provided which monitors the power supply and informs the user of a decreasing power, for example by means of a light and / or sound signal.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the clock outputs the signal at a fixed predetermined frequency. In this embodiment, therefore, there is neither the possibility nor the need to preselect a suitable frequency. This has the advantage that the operation is very easy and fast in case of an emergency. Another advantage is that the clock can be made particularly simple, easy and inexpensive. From these two advantages results in the particular suitability of the associated with the housing clock for daily use by a medical layman.

The clock has an output element for outputting a signal. This output element can be designed as an output element for outputting an optical, acoustic and / or haptic signal.

In one embodiment, the housing has a fastener for attaching the housing to another object, such as a clip for attachment to a garment or a region for attachment to a keychain. This ensures that the case with the clock can be easily carried.

According to one aspect of the invention, an identification object with the described housing is specified, for example an identity card in an identity card holder or a security token. Thus, the item of identification can be used for internal identification and / or authentication of employees, especially for access control to the premises.

If the subject of the identification is an in-house item of identification that employees have to carry with them in their day-to-day work, the result is that the majority of employees are constantly provided with a cardiac pressure massage clock. This increases the likelihood that a professional cardiac massage will be performed in the event of a sudden cardiac arrest of an employee or customer on the premises.
