Abstract

By touching the tableware or the food contained therein, functions (e.g. acoustic, visual) are triggered by an electronic sensor circuit and are used for the benefit or entertainment of the person eating, the group of people eating or other people. Example applications: to stimulate the appetite of children by generating a beep when the food is touched, as a joke article for generating a concert of beeps in a group of people eating, for triggering the automatic closing mechanism in an animal trap.

Description

Eßgeschirr mit BerührsensorEating dishes with a touch sensor

Beschreibung Die Erfindung betrifft die Ausstattung eines Eßgeschirrs für Erwachsene, Kinder oder Tiere mit einem Berührkontaktsensor.Description The invention relates to the equipment of a tableware for adults, children or animals with a touch contact sensor.

Es wird damit die Möglichkeit bezweckt, genau zu dem Zeitpunkt, wo der Essende seine Speise berührt, automatisch Funktionen auszulösen, ohne daß hierfür ein spezielles Zutun oder eine Absicht des Essenden erforderlich ist.The aim is to have the possibility, exactly at the point in time, where the eater touches his food, automatically triggering functions without this special action or intention on the part of the eater is required.

Dies wird erreicht durch Ausrüstung des Eßgeschirrs mit einer Elektrode und einer elektronischen Berührsensorschaltung, die durch einen galvanischen Kontakt zwischen der Speise und dem Essenden zum Schalten veranlaßt wird.This is achieved by equipping the eating utensil with an electrode and an electronic touch sensor circuit that is controlled by a galvanic contact is caused to switch between the food and the eater.

Beim heutigen Stand der Technik kann der dafür erforderliche Stromfluß so schwach gehalten werden, daß dessen Wahrnehmung durch den Essenden unmöglich ist.With the current state of the art, the current flow required for this can be kept so weak that it is impossible for the eater to perceive it is.

Der Unteranspruch der Patentanmeldung betrifft eine Erweiterung der Erfindung so, daß ein Teller zusätzlich mit akustischen oder visuellen Effekten ausgerüstet wird (z.B. Piepton oder Lämpchenblinken), die durch den Sensor bei jeder Berührung ausgelöst werden. Dies kann zum Beispiel sinnvoll sein, um Kinder ohne Zwang zum Essen zu animieren, oder zur Verwendung als Scherzartikel.-Als Ausführungsbeispiel zeigt Abbildung 1 einen Kinderteller, der einen kurzen Piepton erzeugt, jedesmal wenn das Kind mit dem Löffel das Essen berührt. Der Fuß des Kunststofftellers (1) wird durch eine flache Dose (2) gleichen Materials gebildet, in welcher ein Piezotongeber, eine Batterie, ein Ein-Aus-Schalter und die Sensor-und Tongeneratorschaltung (1 Chip) untergebracht sind.The sub-claim of the patent application relates to an extension of the Invention so that a plate additionally with acoustic or visual effects equipped (e.g. beep or flashing light), which is triggered by the sensor at each Triggered by touch. This can be useful, for example, to children without To encourage compulsion to eat, or to use it as a joke article.-As an exemplary embodiment Figure 1 shows a children's plate that produces a short beep every time when the child touches the food with the spoon. The foot of the plastic plate (1) is formed by a flat box (2) of the same material, in which a piezo sounder, a battery, an on-off switch and the sensor and tone generator circuit (1 Chip) are housed.

Um beim Geschirrspülen leicht abgenommen werden zu können, ist die Dose nur durch eine Klemmvorrichtung (3) mit dem Teller verbunden. In der Mitte des Tellerbodens ist als Elektrode ein Metallplättchen (4) eingelassen.The is easy to remove when washing the dishes The box is only connected to the plate by a clamping device (3). In the middle A metal plate (4) is embedded in the bottom of the plate as an electrode.

Aus einem Loch in der Mitte der oberen Dosenfläche ragt eine Kontaktfeder (5) hervor, die beim Aufstecken der Dose auf den Teller die leitende Verbindung zwischen Elektrode und Schaltung herstellt.A contact spring protrudes from a hole in the middle of the upper surface of the can (5) shows the conductive connection when the can is placed on the plate between the electrode and the circuit.
