Abstract

Schutzanspruch 1 beinhaltet das Detektieren eines Objektes in einem Briefkasten mittels optischer Sensoren.Protection claim 1 includes the detection of an object in a mailbox by means of optical sensors.

Description

Es handelt sich um ein elektronisches Gerät, welches per Lichtsignal anzeigt, ob sich Post im Briefkasten befindet. Das Lichtsignal ist ohne as Öffnen des Briefkastens von aussen sichtbar.It is an electronic device that indicates by light signal whether there is mail in the mailbox. The light signal is visible without opening the mailbox from the outside.

Problemproblem

Handelsübliche Briefkästen lassen normalerweise von aussen keine Rückschlüsse über deren Füllstand zu. Von Nahem, oder sogar aus einigen Metern Entfernung kann man nciht erkennen, ob Post im Briekasten ist, oder nicht. Gerade in Situationen in denen man es eilig, oder eventuell die Hände voll mit Einkäufen und Taschen hat, genügt durch die POST ein kurzer Blick auf den Briefkasten, um zu erkennen, ob sich das öffnen lohnt. Durch ein Blinklicht, das bei Tag und Nacht erkennbar ist, wird angezeigt, wenn sich etwas im Briefkasten befindet. Dann kann man sich die Mühe machen, diesen zu öffnen.Commercially available mailboxes usually do not allow conclusions about their fill level from the outside. From close, or even from a few meters away, you can not tell if there is mail in the letterbox or not. Especially in situations where you are in a hurry, or maybe have your hands full with purchases and bags, a quick glance at the mailbox is enough to see if it's worth opening. A flashing light, which is visible day and night, is displayed when something is in the mailbox. Then you can make the effort to open this.

Funktionfunction

Die Post-LED wird im Inneren des Briefkasten (1) befestigt (1). Die Befestigung kann per Klebeverbindung, oder mit Permanentmagneten erfolgen.The post-LED is inside the mailbox ( 1 ) ( 1 ). The attachment can be done by adhesive bonding, or with permanent magnets.

In der Post-LED (2) arbeitet ein Infrarotsensor als Bewegungsmelder (2). Dieser detektiert den Einwurf eines Gegenstandes und aktiviert ein LED-Blinklicht (3/4). Der Sensor zur Detektierung des Einwurfes kalibriert sich selbstständig bei erstmaliger Verwendung (Entfernung zur Briefkastenwand wird automatisch eingestellt).In the post-LED ( 2 ) an infrared sensor works as a motion detector ( 2 ). This detects the throw of an object and activates an LED flashing light ( 3 / 4 ). The sensor for detecting the throw-in is calibrated automatically when used for the first time (distance to the mailbox wall is set automatically).

Funktionsweise Sensor (3): Der Sensor sendet ein Signal an die gegenüberliegende Briefkastenwand. Das Signal wird zum Sensor zurückgeworfen (5). Dadurch entsteht eine Schranke. Wird diese unterbrochen (6), löst die LED aus (7). Wird die Schranke nicht mehr unterbrochen, schaltet sich die LED automatisch wieder ab.Function Sensor ( 3 ): The sensor sends a signal to the opposite mailbox wall. The signal is reflected back to the sensor ( 5 ). This creates a barrier. If this is interrupted ( 6 ) triggers the LED ( 7 ). If the barrier is no longer interrupted, the LED automatically switches off again.

Weitere Fuktion: An der Post-LED kann durch eine Steckfunktion (1) eine weitere, externe LED (8) per Kabel (9) angeschlossen werden. Diese LED kann (bei komplett geschlossenen Briefkästen, die die Sicht auf die im Inneren liegende LED versperren) an der Aussenseite, oder hinter dem transparenten Namensschild (10) angebracht werden. Die externe LED ermöglicht das Blinksignal bei nicht ausreichender Erstfunktion nach aussen dringen zu lassen. (4)Further function: At the post-LED can by a plug-in function ( 1 ) another, external LED ( 8th ) by cable ( 9 ) are connected. This LED can be used (in the case of completely closed mailboxes, which block the view of the LED inside) on the outside, or behind the transparent nameplate ( 10 ). The external LED allows the flashing signal to escape to the outside if the initial function is not sufficient. ( 4 )

Das Gerät ist Batteriebetrieben.The device is battery operated.

Eine Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird anhand der 1 bis 4 erläutert.An embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to 1 to 4 explained.

Claims (3)

Schutzanspruch 1 beinhaltet das Detektieren eines Objektes in einem Briefkasten mittels optischer Sensoren.Protection claim 1 involves detecting an object in a mailbox by means of optical sensors. Schutzanspruch 2 beinhaltet die Verbindung von sensorischer Detektion von Briefkasteninhalten in Verbindung mit der optischen (Blinklicht) Anzeige, die ausserhalb des Briefkastens bei Tag und Nacht sichtbar ist.Protection claim 2 includes the connection of sensory detection of mailbox contents in conjunction with the optical (flashing) display, which is visible outside the mailbox day and night. Schutzanspruch 3 beinhaltet die Verwendung von Sensoren, die eigenständig nach Einbau im Briefkasten die Dimensionen des Innenraumes detektieren und sich automatisch kalibrieren.Protection claim 3 includes the use of sensors that independently detect after installation in the mailbox, the dimensions of the interior and automatically calibrate.
