DE202018004561U1 - System for protecting passersby at night through umbrellas, satchels, caps and bags by means of light - Google Patents

Abstract

Device consisting of a bag inflatable by gas, compressed air or mechanically foldable, mounted in a bag such as a handbag, clutch, backpack, suitcase or satchel.

Description

Preliminary note

The applicant is inventive and entrepreneurial in the field of security systems, especially mPERS. This application evolved from a paraphrase of creating other protections that would not require mPERS to be deployed, or if necessary to prevent third-party attacks or cause them to be dropped during an attack, even if the victim, the user of the device itself can not defend.

description

A field of the invention

• ein System zum Schutz von Passanten in der Nacht vor allem auf unbeleuchteten Straßen vor allem mittels Licht gegen Anprall von Fahrzeugen, unerwarteten Überfall und Sturz,
• unter Anwendung von Abwandlungen ansonsten typischerweise von Passanten getragenen Geräten, konkret insbesondere Regenschirm, Kappe, Handtasche und Schulranzen
• und unter Verwendung entsprechender Verfahren und
• weitergehende Systeme zum Schutz des Passanten nach einem Anprall, Unfall oder Überfall
• unter Anwendung der gleichen und abgewandelten Geräte und Logiken mit weiteren technischen Abwandlungen und Zusätzen und unter Verwendung weiterer, entsprechender Verfahren.

The present invention relates

• a system for the protection of passers-by at night, especially on unlit roads, especially by means of light against the impact of vehicles, unexpected raids and falls,
• using modifications otherwise typically worn by passers-by, in particular umbrella, cap, purse and satchels
• and using appropriate methods and
• advanced systems to protect passers-by after an impact, accident or robbery
• using the same and modified devices and logics with further technical modifications and additions and using further, corresponding procedures.

In total, inventions were made that partly correlate, sometimes stand alone. They are summarized in this utility model application.

The application falls mainly under the classification A45B3 / 04 "Sticks combined with other objects with illuminating devices electrical"

I starting position

It is striking that, as in the past, especially in rural areas, every year a large number of people, especially schoolchildren, are caught and injured, and sometimes injured, by cars, motorcycles or (motorized) bicycles, especially in the winter months and at dusk Those who are also killed, the protection of darkness used by attackers to launch a - usually sexually motivated - attack, which entails a short or long-term kidnapping of the victim and an injurious to the victim action.

It is estimated that in the USA alone, about nine hundred children per year are overwhelmed by strangers on the way to and from their homes and are mostly sexually abused. About fifteen of them die as a result of the attack, seven of them on average through a sexually motivated kill. In Germany, approximately 80 children and adolescents are abducted every year, about 10 for the purpose of blackmail, the rest with the aim of sexual exploitation. Every two months on average one victim dies and 90% of the cases are subsequently explained.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to provide absolute safety for children except through weapons with all the dangers they entail or through better staffing levels. It is important to increase the rate of unsuccessful attempts at the current rate of 25% and to create an environment in which attackers are exposed to a much higher risk of discovery, preferably in order to reduce the number of attempts themselves,

II Object of the invention

• „Schutz von Fußgängern vor Unfällen und Angriffen, weiter automatisierte Weiterleitung der Information über einen Unfall oder Angriff, weiter Selbsterkennung des Unfalls oder Angriffs, weiter eigene Auslösung von besonderen Erkennungsmaßnahmen bei Unfall oder Angriffs,
• unter Verwendung von Gegenständen, welche Fußgänger häufig und typischerweise bei sich tragen, welche also nur eine Abwandlung von bestehenden Gegenständen des täglichen Lebens beinhalten dürfen, mittels Abwandlung oder Erweiterung des Gegenstands oder der Gegenstände
• (1. Paraphrase)
• unter Beachtung der Notwendigkeit von Gewicht, Aufladefähigkeit, Wiederladefähigkeit und Einfachheit der Bedienung; als Beziehungspunkt : ein weiblicher Schüler in der 1. Klasse Grundschule,
• (2. Paraphrase)
• weiter mit einer Möglichkeit, Informationen über Unfallverursacher und/oder Angreifer zu sammeln, und Angreifer nicht nur zu überführen, sondern möglichst von ihrem Vorhaben a priori oder im Verlauf des Angriffs abzubringen.
• (3. Paraphrase),
• und mit einer Qualität, das verwendete Gegenstände zumindest Wasserdicht ausgeführt werden
• (4. Paraphrase)"

The following utility model application has arisen from the thought and subsequent research of the Applicant to design at least one device which, in particular, enables:

• "Protection of pedestrians from accidents and attacks, further automated transmission of information about an accident or attack, further self-recognition of the accident or attack, further own triggering of special detection measures in case of accident or attack,
• using items that pedestrians often and typically carry with them, which may thus only include a modification of existing items of daily life, by modification or extension of the item or items
• (1st paraphrase)
• taking into account the need for weight, rechargeability, rechargeability and ease of operation; as a point of reference: a female student in 1st grade elementary school,
• (2nd paraphrase)
• continue with a way to gather information about accident causers and / or attackers, and not just convict attackers, but to dissuade it a priori or in the course of the attack as far as possible.
• (3rd paraphrase),
• and with a quality that used articles are at least waterproof
• (4th paraphrase) "

It was therefore necessary to create an opportunity to fend off attackers and attackers, to demand active action from third parties, taking into account various external measures which require a transmission, but above all to already achieve such uncertainty among the potential attacker that he is missing from his planned Do away with it.

Although it may be argued that such attackers would only later choose another person as a victim, there is still the possibility that a perpetrator, if he sees several persons protected by these inventions, views his project as too dangerous and too dangerous for him in general, especially in the cases of victim fixation, in which therefore anyway only one person is conceivable as a victim.

Of course, it is never possible to guarantee that a perpetrator does not seek a victim "at any price" - so-called kamikaze perpetrators - thus fully aware that arrest and condemnation are likely to occur. However, considering this, devices can be created that reduce the likelihood of attacks and raids and accidents.

Only this was the task of development and aim of the present invention to be described.

B development process

The development date was July 2016 (definition of the 1st paraphrase) until April 2018 (last internal prototype construction). In the course of development, the ideal medium for exposure was an inflatable bag, which was illuminated from the inside and made of translucent material. After the first prototypes were built, it was recognized that the inflatable bag was not always needed, because the same functionality is also much easier with an umbrella with modified tension cloth F from partly opaque, partly translucent material can be achieved. Therefore, this application is made in one; the difference between an inflatable bag and the use of a partially illuminated umbrella RS originates from the same functional logic.

It is crucial that the device itself works in the logic identiter.

I state of the art

II "Umbrellas with light effect" available on the market

II.1 Blade Runner Shades

In a commercially available embodiment of an umbrella RS is the stick S designed so that light, which is generated from below or above or inside with a light bar, the stick lights up. Such umbrellas RS are available in Asia under the name "Blade Runner umbrellas"; the name is based on a science fiction film of the same name from the 80s, in which such umbrellas RS you can see; The bulbs were then battery powered neon tubes that could only light up minutes, which was sufficient for the recording sequences.

• - der Träger kaum geschützt ist, denn der erzielte Effekt ist die Beleuchtung seines Körpers, sehr viel niedriger als bei der beschriebenen Erfindung,
• - bei normalen Tragen ist der Körper vom Licht im Stock S meist nur von vorne angestrahlt und deckt den Leuchtbereich nach hinten ab, so dass ein von hinten herannahendes Fahrzeug nicht informiert wird; der zu schützende Körper verhindert also paradoxerweise gerade den erwünschten Schutz;
• - die Lichtquelle der Lichtstreuung nach auch bei Verwendung teils lichtdurchlässiger Stoffe im Kiel F nicht imstande wäre, den Kiel F so ausreichend anzustrahlen, dass der Kiel F außen leuchten würde; daher ist der Lichtbereich sehr viel niedriger und verdeckter als bei der vorliegend beschriebenen Erfindung;
• - sie unhandlich sind,
• - der Nutzer direkt vor seinem Auge (Rechtshänder vor dem rechten Auge) und leicht versetzt vor dem anderen Auge einer starken Lichtquelle ausgesetzt ist, die ihn permanent blendet; so läuft er Gefahr, Hindernisse, Pfützen und Löcher im Gehweg und Kurven nicht erkennen zu können;
• - die Schirme schwer und unhandlich sind, denn die große Leuchtstrecke benötigt eine starke Batterie, durch deren Einbau es zu Schwerpunktproblemen kommt;
• - der Träger sich wie in einem schwarzen Loch in dem eine Lampe leuchtet fühlt, da die Pupille den Unterschied nahe - hell - Pupille offen vs. entfernt - dunkel - Pupille geschlossen nicht gut aus-justieren kann;
• - durch das Dauerlicht im Stock S genau vor dem Kopf die Retina irritiert wird und langfristig das Auge geschädigt werden kann.

These models do not sell well and are quite unsuitable for the purpose pursued here

• the support is hardly protected, because the effect achieved is the illumination of its body, much lower than in the invention described,
• - in normal wear, the body is in the stick of light S usually illuminated only from the front and covers the light area from the back so that a approaching from behind vehicle is not informed; the body to be protected thus paradoxically prevents just the desired protection;
• - The light source of light scattering even when using partly translucent substances in the keel F would not be able to do the keel F so illuminate enough that the keel F outside would shine; therefore, the light range is much lower and more concealed than in the present invention;
• - they are unwieldy,
• - The user is exposed directly in front of his eye (right-handed person in front of the right eye) and slightly offset from the other eye of a strong light source, which permanently blinds him; so he runs the risk of being unable to recognize obstacles, puddles and holes in the sidewalk and curves;
• - The umbrellas are heavy and unwieldy, because the large light path requires a strong battery, by installing it comes to focus problems;
• - The wearer feels like in a black hole in which a lamp is lit, as the pupil is close to the difference - bright - pupil open vs. removed - dark - pupil closed can not be well-adjusted;
• - by the steady light in the floor S just in front of the head, the retina is irritated and in the long term, the eye can be damaged.

II.2 Umbrellas with lights in the area of the fabric

• - die Rippen R oder
• - die Ösen I leuchten und solche, bei denen
• - am Außenrand des Spanntuchs F ein Licht oder Lichter Z/Y eingebracht ist/sind.

There are umbrellas available in stores RS , at them

• - Ribs R or
• - the eyelets I shine and those where
• - on the outer edge of the tension sheet F a light or lights Z / Y is / are.

These umbrellas RS are mostly used only decorative, expensive and heavy. Users complain about problems with moisture and resulting short circuits, which seems almost absurd in umbrellas.

Therefore, it was included in the catalog of requirements that the water sensitivity of a solution may not be higher than in a normal umbrella (Paraphrase 4 ).

II.3 Umbrellas with lights under control

There are umbrellas RS with the grip P built-in lights Z / Y which are directed vertically downwards.

This is a good approach, albeit unfavorable, the lights (s) Z / Y not pointing to where you want to go, but where you are right now; so only a tiny point is visible and you move constantly in the area of the cone of light, without illuminating the area in front of him. Thus, the area in front of a carrier due to the difference between light and dark (see above) is less recognizable than without.

III Descriptions, utility model and patent applications

B.III.1 US 4,848,385 A , Pennella, 27.5.1986 discloses a luminous portable device forming an umbrella, umbrella or the like.

The light emits through the struts (ribs) R to the tension cloth F ,

The light emitted by a lamp Y either from the point of convergence in the slider H the Paragon rods G diverts (claims 1-4, 6-11) or from above between tenter F and stick top B (claim 5).

All serve over the Paragon rods G and striving R to divert the light and the struts R to illuminate, but not the Spehnuch F ,

This is an approach, however unfavorable, because only the pursuit R even illuminate and without corresponding modification of the fabric of the tension sheet F , which is not described, the tension cloth F even not lit; Furthermore, the correspondingly bright Paragon rods G and striving R expensive in the production.

B.III.2 US 4,020,858 A , Wilson, 22.3.1972 discloses a luminous portable device forming an umbrella, umbrella or the like.

The light emits from a lamp unit Z mounted on the stick top B over the tension sheet F shines.

This is an approach, however unfavorable, since only the lamp Z even the lighting represents, and because of the angle also an outside white Spannstoff F will be illuminated from above only in a small range of reflected light; Furthermore, so the weight-center of gravity on the screen and thus unfavorable to wear; while an umbrella RS with focus under the cover C and crown D through large span of the tension cloth F easily durable. This must be the umbrella described and thus provided RS held tight so as not to turn down.

B.III.3 US 6,341,873 B1 , Yang, 3.4.2000 discloses a screen with a lighting device.

This is a similar approach US 4,020,858 A Wilson and thus far better than Wilson, as the focus due to an LED Y in the lamp unit Z that with a battery T under control P is connected, sits deeper.

It is nevertheless unfavorable, since only the lamp Y even the lighting represents, and because of the angle also an outside white Spannstoff F illuminated only in a small range of reflectable light, so.

B.III.4 EP 3256905A1 = WO 2016130710A1 , Hudson, Feb. 11, 2015 discloses a collapsible LED device.

That's an approach on an umbrella RS However, the application shows no way to illuminate the screen outside, but goal-oriented inward.

B.III.5 EP 1725135A1 , Vardy, 15.3.2004 discloses a reversed umbrella.

This is an approach to lighting the tension sheet F but this umbrella is RS not portable but serves exclusively the static illumination of squares (cafes) with the possibility of advertising.

C Sequence of development logic

In a first step, we found that light and sound are the best freely available deterrents to prevent accidents as well as attacks.

I raids

In conversations with kidnappers and rape victims such as perpetrators, we realized that the vast majority of the raids occurred when the offender was protected from detection, either masked or acting in dusk-protected areas where there was no artificial light , Even a victim wearing a flashlight was too dangerous for most perpetrators as a potential object; if, then they immediately planned to take the lamp off the victim and turn it off, not even to get into the cone of light.

One approach has been found: to find a global one instead of a punctual light like a flashlight, but which can still be carried by the user.

II accidents

Accidents can then be prevented if the way forward is protected for the wearer so that he is protected, for example, from falling on a crevice, in a river, etc. in absolute darkness; the way to the back and around it is protected, so that it is not detected by an approaching motor vehicle whose driver may recognize a dark-clothed person too late for an evasive reaction.

Even after the introduction of the warning vest obligation occurs regularly after unexpected stoppage of motor vehicles on highways and especially on federal roads at night to the impact of bicycles, motorcycles, cars and trucks against people who are on the way to the emergency or in the next village. It should be noted that there is no general warning vest duty on federal roads, but only for occupants of a vehicle. On the other hand, people walking from one village to another, for example, are not required to own or wear such vests.

Particularly dangerous is the constellation of an unlit, wooded right turn without a pedestrian walkway, when a pedestrian follows the paved road to the right in the exit area of the curve, and from behind a vehicle approaches. In this case, the side beam is blocked and a motorized vehicle approaching 50-100 km. Only at the last second is the pedestrian visible in the cone of light, often already too late for the driver to pull the vehicle to the left. In case of an impact of 30 km, there is already an acute danger to life.

• - die Person in den Bereich der vor dem Lastwagen gestauten Luft gedrückt, so kann
• - die Person zur Seite geworfen werden;
• - wird sie in den Unterdruck, der zeitlich am Lastwagen herrscht gezogen, kann es zum Anprall der Person gegen den Lastwagen und im Weiteren zu, Wegschleudern weg vom Lastwagen kommen; schließlich
• - kommt die Person in den Bereich der sogenannten Schleppe, also der Verwirbelungen hinter den Lastwagen, so kann es passieren, dass die Person umgeworfen wird.

It does not even come to impact; it is sufficient for passing heavy and / or vehicles with large bodies such as in particular load power plants and box cars, motorhomes et al. even that the person is not recognized too late or without a vest and there is a small distance between the vehicle and the person on foot. Being in front of a truck

• - the person pressed into the area of the air stowed in front of the truck, so can
• - the person is thrown aside;
• - If it is pulled into the negative pressure prevailing at the truck in time, it may come to the impact of the person against the truck and subsequently to, fling away from the truck; after all
• - The person comes in the area of the so-called train, so the turbulence behind the truck, so it can happen that the person is overturned.

This will be harmless at first, except in the second case; However, if there is a slope or a steep wall next to the person, then the person may be thrown down or against the steep face, which in the latter case may result in injury, especially breakage, causing the person to lie down on the street which greatly increases the risk of being overrun;
In the former case, which is almost worse, the person may fall down the slope and may not be able to rescue himself after a bone fracture. In this case, it happens regularly that the person is found only when it becomes apparent that she has not reached an agreed place, for example. This can take hours; at low temperatures, the risk of bleeding from open injuries and shock from the accident or impact can also cause hypothermia.

Furthermore, we found that a light should be carried as high as possible, according to the logic, with the brake lights are now preferred in the vertical center of a car - usually in the rear window - to be mounted to a fast To allow reaction of the vehicles behind it. Put simply, with limitations it applies with limitations the higher the person the higher the light is carried, the sooner the person will be seen. This effect decreases, provided that the light is too high above the support, and would also lead to impractical results.

III Further objects of the invention

In the event of an accident or robbery, it is particularly necessary to have another system in place, which provides for a device that clearly indicates that a particular incident has occurred.

It is thought of a aufpilzende device and / or a balloon-like inflating device which is inflated or erected by which after detection of an incident and warned by the light in a case other road users or can be asked for help, in this case, preferably with flashing lights, which are especially striking at night,
Furthermore, in the case of attack by a sexual offender for this the situation is particularly unpleasant, because he has to fear by the flash on the one hand discovery, the other blinded. If this is the case, then location and further deterrence by a loud emitting signal, corresponding to a siren X and especially in the case of the attacker by a soundtrack or indeed a recording of an emergency center, the voice of an operator so be achieved. Put simply, if an attacker realizes that the situation is already being handled by an emergency center and threatens to be immediately detected and arrested by approaching police, an attacker will let go of his actions.

In the further process, the situation with smoke and olfactory fluids can be so unpleasant for him that he is unable to continue the prosecution.

The detection of an attack and corresponding detection of an accident can of course be done manually, but preferably it should be done automatically in the device to be worn.

• Ein Regenschirm RS wird regelmäßig mit der Stockspitze B nach unten im geschlossenen Zustand und in der Regel nach oben zeigen im geöffneten Zustand. Eine plötzliche Seit-Bewegung wird feststellbar sein vor allem wenn diese Bewegung sehr plötzlich erfolgt und nicht langsam wie beim Ablegen an einem Tisch.
• Eine Tasche SC wird ähnlich regelmäßig an der Schulter oder Hand getragen und die Oberkante der Tasche wird sich regelmäßig in einem kleinen Winkelbereich um die Horizontale bewegen.

This helps that the above items are regularly worn in one or a maximum of two forms:

• An umbrella RS gets regular with the stick tip B down in the closed state and usually upwards in the open state. A sudden sideways movement will be detectable, especially if this movement is very sudden and not slow as when you are laying down at a table.
• A pocket SC is similarly worn regularly on the shoulder or hand and the top edge of the bag will regularly move in a small angular range around the horizontal.

The same applies to a satchel SR ..

Thus, unusual movements are relatively easier to detect than a fall of a person, for example, is difficult to determine whether the person suddenly sits down or knees sinks etc.

D Approach

I Material and usable items of everyday use

It was found that in the fall, winter and spring of the most commonly worn in Germany outdoors in addition to the expected natural, warmer clothing, shoes and gloves of the umbrella RS is. Therefore, this was chosen as a basic object for technical extension:

An umbrella RS whether used or not, can be used to display lighting at a reasonable height.

For students also comes a satchel SR as a protective device into consideration.

In children, a cap can be used according to eg an American baseball cap.

For women, the handbag is preferred SC as a potentially usable device for extension by a light source into consideration.

The advantage of all these devices is that there is no need for additional items as they are used daily and are already available for use and expansion.

II embodiments

II.1 umbrella

II.1.a Illumination of the fabric from inside to outside

In the first embodiment is at the top of an otherwise common umbrella RS the tension cloth F designed so that it is milky, opaque, preferably white or beige, in any case, light and especially fully or partially transparent.

Below a light unit Z mounted so that it glows upward towards the inside of the fabric F , Illuminates the inner tension cloth F So it shines also outside in the area Y on.

II.1.b Attachment points

1. 1. Der ideale Punkt ist
   • eine Anbringung
   • einer oder mehreren Lampe(n) / einer oder mehrerer LED Lampe(n) oder sonstigen Lichtquelle(n) als Lichteinheit Z, bevorzugt ausgeführt als Ring von Lampen
   • am Stock S,
   • unterhalb des Kiels F und
   • oberhalb des Bereichs, an dem der Schieber bei aufgeklapptem Zustand des Regenschirms ansetzt, also am oberen Stock E.

The lamp or light unit Z may preferably be attached to one of the following locations:

1. 1. The ideal point is
   • an attachment
   • one or more lamp (s) / one or more LED lamp (s) or other light source (s) as a light unit Z , preferably designed as a ring of lamps
   • on the floor S .
   • below the keel F and
   • above the area where the slider attaches when the umbrella is open, ie on the upper floor e ,

• 2. Die Lichteinheit Z kann auch unterhalb der Paragonstangen / Spinne G angebracht werden,
  • a) arretiert am Schieber H, der unterhalb der oberen Halterung eingerastet ist, oder
  • β) zunächst am unteren Stock N liegend und am mittleren Stock L hoch- und niederschiebbar und dann arretierbar entweder am Schieber H oder sonst im Bereich des mittleren Stocks L, oder
  • γ) am unteren Stock N oder unterhalb oder verbunden mit dem Spitzenköcher O oder
  • δ) oberhalb oder verbunden mit dem Griff P; die beiden Varianten γ) und δ) haben jedoch den leichten Nachteil, dass dadurch der Träger beim Tragen nahe am Körper von unten geblendet und so durch Aufstrahlen auf seinen Körper oder Gesicht die Lichtwirkung auf das Spanntuch F verringert werden kann.
• 3. Die bevorzugt wiederaufladbare Batterie T kann angebracht werden
  • α) im selben Gehäuse wie die Lampeneinheit Z,
  • β) im Stock S selbst
  • γ) im Griff P.

This is regularly defined by the location at which the upper spring catch I and the slider H get together and the slider H through the spring catch I arrested, the so-called upper breakpoint.

• 2. The light unit Z can also be below the Paragon rods / spider G be attached
  • a) locked on the slide H , which is locked under the upper bracket, or
  • β) first on the lower floor N lying and on the middle floor L can be pushed up and down and then arrested either on the slide H or else in the area of the middle floor L , or
  • γ) on the lower floor N or below or connected to the top quiver O or
  • δ) above or connected to the handle P ; However, the two variants γ) and δ) have the slight disadvantage that thereby the wearer when wearing close to the body blinded from below and so by irradiating on his body or face the light effect on the fabric F can be reduced.
• 3. The preferred rechargeable battery T can be installed
  • α) in the same housing as the lamp unit Z .
  • β) in the floor S even
  • γ) under control P ,

• αα) durch den unteren Stock N und/oder mittleren Stock L,
• ββ) durch zwei Leitungen, die genau dort am Stock N und L freiliegen, wo die Lichteinheit arretiert werden wird.

The attachment α) can lead to a high and thus disadvantageous center of gravity; With β) and γ) the line between battery compartment and lamp (s) can Y or light unit Z respectively

• αα) through the lower floor N and / or middle floor L .
• ββ) through two pipes, right there on the floor N and L are exposed where the light unit will be locked.

• ε) In einer nicht bevorzugten Anwendung kann die Lichteinheit Z auch in dem Bereich in dem der Stock S über dem Spanntuch F herausragt, angebracht werden und nach unten leuchten (s.o. Wilson und Yang), zB oder Stockspitze B oder Zwinge A.

To protect against electric shock, the line at αα) and ββ) may be hidden until the light unit or integrated sliding unit H pushed up and locked.

• ε) In a non-preferred application, the light unit Z also in the area where the floor S over the tension sheet F stand out, be attached and shine down (so Wilson and Yang), for example, or stick tip B or ferrule A ,

Although this attachment is very easy to retrofit manually, and light unit Z and / or light (s) Y is easily interchangeable and is also the highest point above the ground in children is a major drawback, however, that by the bending of the tension cloth F only a very small area as a cone of light Y can be illuminated and so a part of the desired effect is lost with otherwise the same amount of light.

4. In a further embodiment, the light unit Z be introduced in the common area of cap C and crown D which between tension cloth F and upper floor e is attached and serves the tension cloth F To seal so that no rain enters the interior of the screen. This application requires that the tension cloth F executed in such a way or from a material that it can emit light radiating outwards in the case of lateral illumination, as is the case, for example, with materials having a high Plexiglas content.

5. In a very complicated embodiment can also on the tension cloth F attached spider arms R Illuminated (as Pennella), be it by the underlying Paragon rods G forwarded or from the cap C and crown D starting.

This has the advantage that the eyelets J be able to illuminate itself selectively

II.1.c Result of attachment

Overall, the just described attachments result in the outer surface as a whole or in a light region Y2 above the inside illuminated light cone Y is illuminated and this can be detected by an outstanding vehicle earlier, as the driver of a Vehicle depending on the size of the user and type of support 150 - 220 cm height the light cone Y2 early on and thus react accordingly early.

II.1.c.i Increasing the visibility during power-saving operation

To save electricity, the light of the light unit Z flash in flashes, if it is only one or a few lamps, since in particular LEDs in continuous operation need more power than the short-term flicker.

• - eine Leuchte/LED Y nach der anderen aufleuchtet, bevorzugt wenn diese ringartig angeordnet sind, oder
• - ein 2 oder 3 oder mehr LEDs Y aufleuchten, jeweils in einer Richtung eine am Rand erlischt und dafür auf der anderen Seite der leuchtenden LED(s) Y eine weitere LED Y aufleuchtet.

This can also be used to an effect in preferred application by the control of the light unit Z pretends that

• - a light / LED Y lights up after the other, preferably when they are arranged in a ring, or
• - a 2 or 3 or more LEDs Y light up, in each case one at the edge goes out and on the other side of the luminous LED (s) Y a further LED Y lights.

As a result, a gyroscope effect is created even better than in the case of continuous lighting, through which the outer side of the tensioning cloth permanently penetrates F in partial areas of the entire light area Y2 lights up and an effect as with a signal light, so as if it is rotating, generated.

In one embodiment, at this light unit Z , on another stand alone and on the floor S attach unit, be it movable or not or on the handle P a forward-looking lamp V be installed as a ground light, which is slightly inclined downwards, thus illuminating the way in front of the user.

This can prevent the user from stepping into an otherwise unrecognizable hole in the dark, falling, falling off the track or, for example, not recognizing a makeshift bridge over a small trickle and thus falling, etc.

II.1.d case sensors

The activation of the lighting unit Z and the triggering of an emergency sequence can be done manually or by a fall sensor.

II.1.d.i Commercially available case sensors

• - plötzlichen Anprall, also eine extreme Beschleunigung, oder
• - plötzliche seitliche Beschleunigung und Abbremsung (Verwendung als Schlagwerkzeug) oder
• - ein ungebremstes Fallen zur Seite aus normaler Höhe erkennen kann (Sturz/Ohnmacht). Unterschieden werden muss dies vom Ablegen des Schirms, also Stock S wird in die horizontale abgelegt oder mit der Stockspitze B nach oben oder nach unten.

A fall sensor is typically a gurometer with firmware that determines a likelihood value for a person's fall from position and acceleration; He can be designed so that he

• - sudden impact, so an extreme acceleration, or
• - sudden lateral acceleration and deceleration (use as impact tool) or
• - can detect an unchecked fall to the side from normal height (fall / fainting). This must be different from the laying down of the screen, so stick S is placed in the horizontal or with the stick tip B up or down.

II.1.d.ii Simplified fall sensor

1. 1. nach oben gerichtet also mit Griff P unten und Stockspitze B oben, meist in geöffneten Zustand,
2. 2. nach unten gerichtet mit Griff P oben und Stockspitze B unten, meist in geschlossenem Zustand und
3. 3. in seltenen Fällen, zum Beispiel angebracht an einer Tasche, ist der Stock S horizontal ausgerichtet, Griff P und Stockspitze B sind also in etwa in gleicher Höhe.

It can be considered advantageous to simplify the device that umbrellas RS regularly worn in 2 and rarely in 3 positions:

1. 1. directed upwards so with handle P down and stick top B above, mostly in open condition,
2. 2. directed downwards with handle P above and stick top B below, mostly in closed condition and
3. 3. In rare cases, for example attached to a bag, is the stick S horizontally aligned, handle P and stick top B are therefore about the same height.

Positive when used on an umbrella RS is that such a simpler fall sensor MF can be used when used by persons.

It can be a unit MF used in the case of two magnetized plates, a magnet MA and a piece of iron ME stick together and preferably can be adjusted in the distance. If it comes now to fall, blow etc. can one of the two plates MA or MF be so movably aligned that it leaves its original position and falls into a position in which it can not return automatically to the other, permanently mounted somewhere on the screen plate; This is preferred by a clamping bracket MB that on the moving plate MF or ME presses, which, with sufficient movement of the movable unit ME or MA jumps down. Leaves the moving plate MA or ME So the original position, the unit can MF be set up so that a circuit with a battery T / MT is closed and controller MC an alarm sequence (see below) triggers.

• Lampen Y können eingeschaltet werden,
• eine eingebaute Sirene X tönen,
• eine im Regenschirm RS verbaute mPERS-Einrichtung oder eine mit Bluetooth oder auf anderem Weg MX verbundene mPERS-Einrichtung zum Beispiel in einem Smartphone des Nutzers ausgelöst werden, wodurch Ersthelfer Polizei etc. zur Erkenntnis gelangen, dass und wo ein Vorfall stattfindet und entsprechend agieren können.

An alarm sequence can have several consequences:

• lamps Y can be turned on,
• a built-in siren X drown
• one in the umbrella RS built-in mPERS device or one with Bluetooth or other means MX Connected mPERS device, for example, be triggered in a user's smartphone, causing first responders police, etc. to realize that and where an incident takes place and can act accordingly.

• β) bei beweglicher Lichteinheit, sei es kombiniert mit dem Schieber H oder eigen beweglich, durch Arretierung an der dafür vorgesehenen, meist höchsten Stelle.

The light unit Z can be switched on manually

• α) by means of its own switch SS or
• β) with moving light unit, be it combined with the slider H or self-movable, by locking at the designated, usually highest point.

II.1.e.ii Manual release emergency sequence

α) click switch

In a further embodiment, a manual triggering of the emergency sequence described by means of a switch SS be enabled.

Preferred position is the handle P in an area that is typically not enclosed by the supporting hand, yet can be easily reached, at least with the other hand, eg the underside of the handle P or any area near the top quiver O ,

β) bias switch

There may be a switch SS be incorporated in such a way that a user, facing a potentially threatening situation the switch SS pretensions, for example pulls a wire in the handle down. When releasing the handle P the switch snaps SS forward and triggers the above alarm sequence.

Preferred position is the handle P ,

This is especially interesting when a user feels insecure; then he can hold the locking function and unlock it on regaining the feeling of security, or simply let go in case of actual attack.

Also a singular switch SS preferably on the handle P or the lamp unit Z or the stick S is conceivable, the extra must be pressed, he should preferably be secured against false triggering.

Γ) Pull rope switch

It can also be a pull rope preferably on the handle P or on the lamp unit or the stick S be attached.

δ) Pulling out or turning the handle

• - Drehen oder Herausziehen von Griff P und Stock S, oder alternativ
• - Herausziehen oder Drehen eines zweigeteilten Griffs P

die Alarmsequenz auslöst.The handle P can with the stick S be so connected that

• - Turning or pulling out the handle P and stick S , or alternatively
• - Pulling out or turning a two-part handle P

triggers the alarm sequence.

ε) kinking of the stick

Finally, there is a possibility in the floor S , preferably in the lower area N or middle range L to install a kink switch which buckles under acceleration or when an object hits and preferably recovers back to its original position.

This takes into account the use of the umbrella as a striking tool. Meets the umbrella RS So on a body or will the umbrella RS thrown away on impact, the inertia of the masses moves the two pieces apart, which is sufficient to open or preferably close an electrical switch, thereby triggering the alarm sequence. Preferably, the stick returns S then back to the original position to the proper movement of slider H and light unit Z along the floor.

II.1.f Light change when triggered by a fall sensor or alarm switch

In a preferred embodiment, the light of the light unit Z Charge when triggering the emergency sequence, so change the color and / brightness to prevent approaching vehicles overlook the possibly lying on the ground user. Even with attacks, the above combination of lighting can Y / Y2 on a sheet F be beneficial inside and outside, as an attacker will feel protected regularly only in the dark, as he is threatened by light easier detection either by the victim or by third parties.

In a further embodiment, in an emergency sequence, a jerky illumination in the light unit Z similar to a stroboscope be turned on, so that an attacker or an accident driver of a vehicle must be concerned that he takes pictures with flash and third parties, passers-by or other vehicles better recognize that an incident has occurred and are called for help.

Consider a person who has fallen down an embankment: if only one light can be seen from below, this can easily be confused with an elevated light source from a hut, a stroboscopic light source will catch the attention of third parties who are unaware of the accident know to date to pull back and eventually allow the recovery by summoned first responders earlier.

II.1.g Automatic opening of a closed screen in case of emergency

In one embodiment, the device may be configured such that either when the case sensor is triggered MF or otherwise trigger the emergency sequence by switches SS or kinking the locking device consisting of slide H as female and lower spring catch M in a closed umbrella RS is unlocked.

This is preferably done electromagnetically by tightening the lower spring catch M so that is also a closed umbrella RS with or without automatic opening fully or partially,
or in another embodiment, that is a hinge below the slider H opens, for example, electrically through a relay, causing the lower spring catch M is no longer held and the automatic keel RS opens
or in another embodiment in which a fall sensor opens and thereby the spring catch M one or the holder of the spring catch M in the slide H herauzieht.

This embodiment preferably assumes that it is an umbrella RS is the self-acting open, so is provided with a special train up. This is different from the umbrellas RS in which the lower spring catch M only pushed away and then automatically the spider G must be pushed upwards; in this case, the effect achieved will be lower, since such tensioned towels F usually only a little open.

Now is a closed umbrella RS suddenly open and light is not just outside in the area Y2 but also from the inside in the area of the light cone Y emitted.

Violent offenders will be deterred by this, but also a person lying on the street (see the case variant described above 2 ) will be seen better because the light is scattered upwards and / or sideways.

II.1.h Installation of a photo / video device

In another embodiment, an image camera or
Video camera and / or
a microphone
in the umbrella RS be installed and appropriate picture, video or audio recordings
either save internally or
preferably stream automatically,
which makes it easier for first-responders to recognize the mPERS emergency sequence, what kind of incident it is, whether it is still ongoing, and how the data collected can later be used in court.

II.1.i Installation of a siren

In one embodiment, a siren X be installed in every umbrella.

As the siren's position X is being brought up for consideration
the handle P every umbrella,
the Storey S .
the stick top B or
the light unit Z even.

The siren X is triggered according to the above embodiments singular or coupled to the alarm unit.

II.1.j Installation of an element for transmitting and / or receiving an audio stream

In a further embodiment, a device may be installed by means of which an audio stream is received and transmitted, for example to give the user and an attacker an understanding that rescue workers and / or police are on the way.

II.1.k Installation of an element for broadcasting a recorded audio track

In the same way, an audio track can be played, either with a siren sound or with a message that appears, for example, as if a rescue force were speaking. Thus, a perpetrator can be deceived, without really being rescued and even in the case of no wireless connection, the impression of rescue arise and move a perpetrator to deflate.

II.1.I Installation and connection with mPERS facility

In a further embodiment, the screen may have a mPERS (Mobile Personal Emergency Response System) device, that is, a system for transmitting emergency information, mainly the name of the user and the location of the release and whereabouts. can be detected by GPS sensors, triangulation of melee signals, and other location services including Wi-Fi networks.

It can also be via Bluetooth MX or another communication link connects to another, preferably user-supported mPERS, eg in a smartphone or singular.

Protected shutdown of alarm sequence

In order to prevent an attacker from switching off the alarm and all the consequences connected therewith, siren and light, and thus anticipating the discovery, a key can be installed in the screen which the user otherwise inserts
(Purse, handbag)
or a combination lock. Only with the correct code will the alarm be switched off. With the wrong alarm switch further sequences (eg alarm forwarding immediately and not only after a time lapse, photo taking in the umbrella RS built-in camera), or - to deceive the attacker visually turn off the alarm for about 5 -30 seconds and then start over again to call on the attacker to defensive actions.

II.2 Other embodiments

II.2.a handle light

• - bevorzugt am Griff P eine oder mehrere oder
• - in der beschriebenen Lampeneinheit oder
• - am Schieber H

eine vor allem nach hinten leuchtende punktuelle Einheit U, bevorzugt eine oder mehrere LEDs Y angebracht werden, so dass herannahende Fahrzeuge zumindest einen Punkt sehen.In a further embodiment can

• - in the described lamp unit or
• - on the slide H

a one-to-one backlighting point unit U , preferably one or more LEDs Y be attached so that approaching vehicles see at least one point.

II.3 satchels

• Bevorzugt in im oberen Bereich des Schulranzen SB kann
• eine Leuchte Z in einem aufblasbarer Sack SA oder
• eine Leuchte Z/U alleine angebracht werden, welche Licht nach hinten (U) und möglicherweise auch noch vorne zum Beispiel durch einen Teleskop-arm aussendet. Der Sack SA kann bei Auslösung durch Schalter oder Fallsensor MF mit Pressluft oder sonst mit Überdruck geöffnet werden.

In one embodiment, the above logic may be used to make satchels SB make sure:

• Preferably in the upper part of the satchel SB can
• a lamp Z in an inflatable bag SA or
• a lamp Z / U be attached alone, which light to the rear ( U ) and possibly even in front, for example, by a telescopic arm emits. The bag SA can be triggered by switch or case sensor MF be opened with compressed air or otherwise with overpressure.

This sack SA is preferably not fully inflated to prevent cutting by knife. The ideal trip unit becomes a switch SS or pull rope or a fall sensor MF be.

In a further embodiment, once the switch SS or the pull rope is pulled or the fall sensor MF triggers, at the same time the two carrying straps SR be arrested in a way that removing the satchel SR From the body of the wearer is only possible with a special instrument such as a key, or only with the use of a knife or pliers. The child should not fall off the satchel in an emergency SR can be separated and distracted from the discovery of fearful attackers and distracted from his actions.

II.4 Hand and Shoulder Bags and Clutches

Similarly, this works with handbags, shoulder bags or so-called. Clutches ( SC ). handbags SC usually have one or two carrying handles in hand, shoulder bags to carry on shoulders and clutches are carried in the hand.

All these bags SC It is common that the type of support conditions that swing the lower and / or upper edge of the bag in a small angular range around the horizontal, the side edges perpendicular thereto.

These are the satchels SR and fall sensor MF corresponding functions applicable.

In a modification, this can also be used to counteract the frequent pickpocketing: Connected to a trip unit, which can be reached via (mobile) Internet or telephone or other data connection, especially after a theft, a code can be sent the bag SA opens; in a preferred embodiment, the bag is SC damaged by the opening of the bag so that it needs repair, eg because the hinges or the holder of the bag is burst in this case.

II.5 caps

For caps, a similar logic can be used. The lighting unit Z is installed in and takes the outside Y2 to light up when triggered.

IV storing environmental radio in case of accidents

In principle, and especially when wearing one of the devices described above, in the event of an impact / accident / detected robbery, a static and dynamic recording of the radio signals in the environment can take place.

Numerous devices, even automobiles, emit an electronic cloud when in use, especially smartphones and simple cell phones, which establish communication links with the radio masts, also the CB radios still widely used in trucks, as well as numerous mobile and in-mobile devices used for the Communicate with other devices via Wi-Fi Establish Bluetooth connections. These "clouds" can be used for location determination (patents of the applicant PCT / EP 2014 055495 . WO 2014/170081 A1 ; US 2016/0037292 A1 ; China CN 105308658 A ; Argentina AR P140101635 ; Bresil BR 11 2015 025547 7 ; Japan 2016-508061 , "WifiBlink"), and used to facilitate the investigation of accidents.

If it comes to triggering an emergency, manually or by detection, then the BT Connections and WiFi signals recorded with the Mac addresses, and preferred strength. This can happen statically - once - or dynamically multiple times. In the first case can be detected in the investigation, for example, if a car sends a certain MAC address and if so, assigned to the accident, the same applies to mobile phones / smart phones, which can often be assigned to a specific user. Likewise it can be recognized, which device was removed from the scene of the accident, and thus a behavior of a perpetrator or witnesses are traced. If this is not proof, it puts a person in an indictable location to a crime or accident site.
