Abstract

The invention relates to a commodity for people with a stick (2), in particular a cane or walking stick, the stick (2) and / or a canopy surface (1) and / or an element (10) for clamping the canopy surface (1) Transmitter (3) for an e-call (emergency call) should be assigned.

Description

The invention relates to a commodity for humans with a stick, in particular umbrella stick or walking stick.

State of the art

Commodities of the above Art are widely known and on the market. These include, for example, umbrellas or parasols, but also canes, crutches or the like. As a rule, these are aids for people who support or protect them.

A large number of writings are known in which corresponding lamps are assigned to an umbrella. Reference is made here, for example, to the DE 296 13 344 U1 and the state of the art mentioned therein.

It is also known that e.g. An app can be downloaded onto a standard I-phone and an emergency call can be made in an emergency. A corresponding reception center determines the position of the transmitter via satellite and can send help after an unsuccessful callback.

task

The present invention has for its object to provide a commodity of the above. To create a type that can be used in a variety of ways for the user and offers the highest possible feeling of security.

Solution of the task

To achieve the object, a transmitter for an e-call (emergency call) is assigned to the stick and / or an umbrella surface and / or an element for opening the umbrella surface.

This means that in an emergency, the user of the commodity can make an emergency call without great difficulty, which is recorded by a corresponding center, which can then also preferably determine the position of the transmitter. These transmitters are otherwise commercially available, for example from Bosch.

Various possibilities are conceivable for actuating the transmitter, for example it could react to the user's voice or certain predetermined other noises. In the simplest case, however, the mechanical actuation by the user should offer itself, i.e. a slide or the like is provided, for example. When designing the mechanical actuation device, it should be borne in mind that the alarm is not triggered accidentally.

There is also no restriction on the arrangement of the transmitter on the commodity. The transmitter could be sewn into or on the stick, near or far from the handle, in or a keel for spanning the umbrella surface, or even in the umbrella surface itself.

However, an optical aid, in particular a light source, should preferably also be associated with the commodity. In an emergency, this has the advantage that help can quickly be found by the person seeking help. But also outside of the emergency, this lamp has the advantage that, especially in the dark, the user of the commodity becomes more visible to other road users or the like, and he can also illuminate his surroundings a bit, so that he can find the way better. For this purpose, it is primarily thought that the illuminant is designed as an LED strip which at least partially runs around the circumferential surface of the screen.

An actuation button is provided for actuating the illuminant, preferably near a handle. However, other possibilities are also conceivable here and are intended to be encompassed by the invention.

Figure description

Further advantages, features and details of the invention result from the following description of preferred exemplary embodiments and from the drawing; In its single figure, this shows a side view of a schematically usable object, as an exemplary embodiment of a standard umbrella.

The utility stand R in the form of a stick umbrella essentially consists of an umbrella surface 1 and a stick 2nd . At the top of the stick 2nd is the screen area 1 with the stick 2nd connected in a known manner. A clamping device for the screen surface is not shown in this figure 1 which is customary and known.

On the floor 2nd is in the embodiment shown near the top of the stick 2nd a transmitter 3rd integrated, via which an e-call, ie an emergency call, can be made. These transmitters 3rd are also commercially available, which is why a further description is omitted.

The transmitter 3rd is via a dashed cable 4th with a mechanical actuator 5 , especially a slide, connected. When the slide is actuated 5 becomes the transmitter 3rd to emit a signal, in particular an emergency call signal.

The whole facility is also a power supply 6 assigned, which can consist of appropriate batteries, a rechargeable battery or the like. Where this power supply 6 arranged, should be of minor importance, it can also be used, for example, as a pfennig battery in the transmitter 3rd be integrated.

In a further embodiment of the invention, the screen surface 1 a lamp 7 be assigned. Corresponding light-emitting diodes (LED) are preferably provided for this purpose, which are integrated in a band. In the embodiment shown, this band can be the screen area 1 surrounded on their perimeter.

The actuation of the lamp 7 takes place via a push button 8th that next to a handle 9 of the stick 2nd is provided. The connection between push button 8th and illuminants 7 takes place via appropriate cables, not shown, through the floor 2nd and keel 10th through, which is usually the spreading of the screen surface 1 serve.

• Um sich selbst über auch einen bestimmten Bereich, insbesondere bei Dunkelheit erkennbar zu machen, wird das Leuchtmittel 7 über den Druckknopf 8 eingeschaltet. Da das Leuchtmittel 7 bei aufgespannter Schirmfläche 1 rundum den Gebrauchsgegenstand umgibt, bleibt es auch sichtbar, wenn es z.B. Menschen aus der Hand fällt. Das Leuchtmittel 7 kann auch vor allem dann eingeschaltet werden, wenn sich der Benutzer des Schirms unwohl fühlt oder meint, in Gefahr zu sein. Somit hat das Leuchtmittel 7 auch eine abschreckende Wirkung.

The operation of the present invention is as follows:

• In order to make itself recognizable over a certain area, especially in the dark, the illuminant 7 via the push button 8th switched on. Because the illuminant 7 with the umbrella surface spanned 1 surrounding the everyday object, it remains visible even if it falls out of people's hands. The illuminant 7 can also be switched on especially if the user of the screen feels uncomfortable or thinks that he is in danger. So the lamp has 7 also a deterrent.

But especially in an emergency, the user can use the transmitter 3rd operate what for example about the slider 5 he follows. A slide is chosen as a mechanical actuation means because the slide cannot usually be actuated unintentionally, such as a push button. By operating the slide 5 becomes the transmitter 3rd prompted to make an emergency call, preferably the transmitter 3rd is designed so that the position of the user can also be determined via GPS at the same time.

Simultaneously with the activation of the transmitter 3rd should also turn on the lamp 7 take place so that in an emergency the user of the commodity can be found quickly by helping staff.
