Abstract

Traditionally, the counting of units (words, characters, bacteria, etc.) is carried out with the aid of a classical writing device (such as pencil or ball-point pen), with the disadvantages that undesired traces (small points, dashes) can arise, and that the person counting must "count along" with relatively high concentration, which often leads to the counting process having to be repeated because of the excessively large error count. The electronic touch-counter is intended to eliminate these disadvantages and to make possible a more rapid, more accurate, less fatiguing and modern counting. In the electronic touch-counter, each unit is individually touched with a sensor head built into a cylindrical housing, the pulses are added in a microprocessor and the result is displayed in a liquid-crystal display. The supply of energy is achieved by means of a battery or a solar cell. The electronic touch-counter allows the counting person (pupil, teacher, secretary, scientist, etc.) to count cleanly, rapidly and accurately.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen elektronischen Antipp-Zähler nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to an electronic tap counter according to the preamble of claim 1.

Schüler, Lehrer, Sekretärinnen, Wissenschaftler, Journali­ sten, Erfinder (siehe PatAnm VO §7 (1)) müssen sich in ihren Aufsätzen und anderen Arbeiten oft an eine bestimmte Mindest- oder Höchstwortzahl halten, Bakterienkolonien, Kästchen, u.s.w. zählen.Students, teachers, secretaries, scientists, journalists Most, inventors (see PatAnm VO §7 (1)) must be in their Essays and other works often to a certain minimum or hold maximum word count, bacterial colonies, boxes, etc. counting.

Es ist bekannt, daß das Zähler mittels eines klassischen Schreibgeräts (Bleistift, Kugelschreiber) erfolgt, wodurch kleinere oder größere Pünktchen und Striche entstehen können. Außerdem erfordert diese Art des Zählens auch viel Konzentra­ tion.It is known that the counter by means of a classic Writing utensils (pencil, ballpoint pen) is done, which smaller or larger dots and dashes can occur. This type of counting also requires a lot of concentration tion.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Möglichkeit des Entstehens von unerwünschten Spuren (Pünktchen und Stri­ chen auszuschließen, den Zählvorgang selbst zu beschleuni­ gen, die Konzentration zu verringern und eine möglichst hohe Genauigkeit zu erreichen.The invention is based on the object, the possibility the emergence of unwanted traces (dots and stripes Chen exclude to accelerate the counting process itself to reduce the concentration and one if possible to achieve high accuracy.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einer gattungsgemäßen Vorrichtung durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved in a generic device solved by the characterizing features of claim 1.

Die mit der Erfindung erzielten Vorteile bestehen insbeson­ dere darin, daß die zählende Person mit dem Sensorkopf des Antipp-Zählers jede einzelne Einheit (Wort, Zeichen, Bakte­ rium, etc.) antippt, ohne dabei mitzählen zu müssen. Hier­ durch beschleunigt sich der Zählvorgang erheblich und er erreicht ein sehr hohes Maß an Präzision. Da das Zählen mit dem Antipp-Zähler einen fast mechanischen Charakter erhält, tritt die Ermüdung viel später ein, als bei dem herkömmli­ chen Zählen mit Bleistift oder Kugelschreiber. Außerdem hin­ terläßt der elektronische Antipp-Zähler keinerlei Spuren.The advantages achieved with the invention are in particular that the counting person with the sensor head of the Tap counter every single unit (word, characters, bacts rium, etc.) without having to count. Here through the counting process accelerates considerably and he achieves a very high level of precision. Since counting with the tap counter has an almost mechanical character, the fatigue occurs much later than with the conventional counting with pencil or ballpoint pen. In addition there the electronic tap counter leaves no traces.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt und wird im folgenden näher beschrieben.An embodiment of the invention is in the drawing shown and is described in more detail below.

In einem zylinderförmigen, eventuell mit einem Bügel (6) und Griffrillen (8) versehenen Gehäuse (7) wird ein Sensor­ kopf (5) derart eingebaut, daß er mit Hilfe einer Druckfeder (10) bei jedem Antippen eines Gegenstandes die Impulse zu einem elektronischen Mikroprozessor (4) weiterleitet. Hier werden die Impulse addiert und das Ergebnis in einer Flüssig- Kristall-Anzeige (2) gezeigt. Das Ein- bzw. Ausschalten er­ folgt durch eine Ein-/Aus-Taste (1), die Energieversorgung durch Batterie oder Solarzelle (3), die durch Abschrauben des oberen Teils des Gehäuses an einer mit Normgewinde (9) versehenen Stelle eventuell auswechselbar sein kann.In a cylindrical, possibly with a bracket ( 6 ) and gripping grooves ( 8 ) provided housing ( 7 ), a sensor head ( 5 ) is installed in such a way that it uses a compression spring ( 10 ) each time an object is tapped, the impulses to an electronic Microprocessor (4) forwards. Here the impulses are added and the result is shown in a liquid crystal display ( 2 ). It is switched on and off by an on / off button ( 1 ), the energy supply by battery or solar cell ( 3 ), which can be replaced by unscrewing the upper part of the housing at a point with a standard thread ( 9 ) can.
