DE202019000832U1 - Discovery pacifier by acoustic signals - Google Patents

Abstract

Detachable pacifier by acoustic signals, consisting of
a sucker, a shield and electronics mounted therein for receiving radio signals and for reproducing sound signals and
- A separate radio remote control, consisting of a housing and built-in electronics for sending radio signals. characterized in that at least one of the following properties is true:
- the pacifier's electronics are impermeable to water enclosed by the components of the shield,
- the radio remote controls are protected by a cap that can be opened when needed.
- The remote control is connected by chain to a key ring or includes a hole that is suitable for connection to a key ring.
- The signal receiver of the pacifier and the signal transmitter of the radio remote control are coupled together via radio frequencies that, as far as possible, do not match the radio frequencies of other pacifiers of the same type.

Description

The pacifier as we know it, in different shapes and sizes, has been around for over a century to satisfy the suckling needs of infants and toddlers.

However, as it is in the nature of infants and toddlers, there is no awareness of the need for careful preservation of these. So it happens very often that a child relocated his pacifier and parents looking for minutes, even for hours desperate for it.

Now, in the past, there has been the idea of solving this problem with a pacifier that attracts attention as needed by delivering signals triggered by a remote control or by detecting other extraneous signals, such as in the US patents US6066161A or US6809644B1 , both served by a physical remote control, US10008080B1 , operated by software from a third-party device, or US610293 SA, served by the detection of external audio signals.

However, these are all in practice by unsuitability and unwieldiness. For example, it is necessary to protect the electronics installed in the pacifiers from foreign bodies, especially water, because pacifiers should be washed and boiled for hygiene.

Furthermore, it is necessary with respect to the pacifier, which is triggered by physical remote control, that this remote control is designed for everyday use. So it should not be large and overloaded with functions, but small and like a key chain by chain on a key ring be connected, or have a hole for the attachment of such a key ring, and be protected by a cap that covers the trigger button, from unintentional triggering ,

It should also be noted that multiple remote controlled pacifiers can not be activated using the same radio frequency, otherwise the purpose of the detection by signal reproduction will be missed should several pacifiers be in close proximity.

The retrievable pacifier according to the above claims should respect all these problems. He should have sealed his electronics waterproof in all cases and bring in the case of remote control by physical remote control, this protected as a key fob and by a cap with it. In both cases of the radio remote control, be it by the physical remote control or by the coupled software of a third-party device, such as a mobile phone, distinction of the radio frequencies should be observed.

• Ausführung 1: Schnuller, der durch eine körperliche Fernbedienung bedient wird, die in Form eines Schlüsselanhängers mit durch eine Verschlusskappe geschützten Bedienelementen ausgefertigt sein soll, der seine Elektronik wasserfest umschlossen haben soll, und der soweit wie möglich über eine individuelle Funkfrequenz mit seiner Fernbedienung gekoppelt sein soll.
• Ausführung 2: Schnuller, der durch eine Verkopplung per Software eines Fremdgeräts ferngesteuert wird, der seine Elektronik wasserfest umschlossen haben soll, und der soweit wie möglich über eine individuelle Funkfrequenz mit dem Fremdgerät gekoppelt sein soll.
• Ausführung 3: Schnuller, der durch die Erkennung von fremden Tonsignalen, beispielsweise Pfeifen, aktiviert wird, der seine Elektronik wasserfest umschlossen haben soll.

So the invention should appear in 3 versions:

• Model 1: pacifier operated by a physical remote control designed to be in the form of a key fob with cap-protected controls designed to waterproof its electronics and coupled as far as possible to its remote control via an individual radio frequency should.
• Version 2: Pacifier, which is controlled remotely by a coupling by software of a third-party device that should have waterproofed its electronics, and as far as possible to be coupled via an individual radio frequency with the third-party device.
• Model 3: Pacifier, activated by the detection of external sound signals, such as whistles, which should have waterproofed its electronics.

Furthermore, the use of other signal forms could be useful, such as light or vibration signals.

Thus, the invention could become a true "all-round talent" among several pacifier finders unfit for practice.
