Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for communication with fellow human beings by means of optical signals, the signal device having a holder in the form of a pin, neck chain, fastening loop or the like, and containing a plurality of electrically actuated luminous elements of different colors as signal transmitters for different messages.
  • Such a device is known from DE-OS 33 03 211, which, in addition to the solution with electrically actuated luminous elements of different colors, also describes mechanical solutions with coverable areas and the like.
  • DE-OS 29 37 546 already discloses a communication aid which is easier to understand because it contains the corresponding message in writing.
  • a separate badge possibly in different colors, is required for each message to be transmitted. If a signal or message is to be changed, a corresponding other badge must be carried along and exchanged for the one that was initially worn. This is complex and not very effective.
  • the device according to the invention is characterized in that at least two or three electric illuminants for simulating a traffic light are arranged in a row, preferably vertically one below the other in the position of use, and the first or uppermost illuminant is red, the last or lowest is green and an optional one middle illuminant are yellow.
  • the device according to the invention can therefore be very simple Send out two or three different signals that are easy to understand, with "red” signaling restraint or a negative attitude based on traffic lights and indicating to recipients that a contact or conversation is undesirable.
  • the color "green”, on the other hand can indicate a positive attitude and the consent to contact, while the "yellow” light can announce a transition from one to the other attitude.
  • the lights of different colors are arranged one below the other on a long side of a housing. This promotes a clear division and simple manufacture and improves the simulation of a traffic light.
  • the housing comprising the lights can contain a cavity in its interior for receiving a power source, in particular a battery, for example a button battery or mini cell.
  • a power source in particular a battery, for example a button battery or mini cell.
  • a relatively small device can thus be created, which can nevertheless be operated for a very long time owing to the low consumption of such lights, which can be light-emitting diodes, for example, since the device does not need to be in constant use.
  • a device of the type mentioned which can be operated particularly easily by the user and can also be operated well in the dark, can be characterized in that two or three lamps arranged in series are provided, and in that the respective luminous element is switched on and off itself is designed as a push button of a pressure switch and can be pressed in against the housing holding it against a restoring force. For example, if you want to switch from one signal to the other, you only have to actuate the respective filament itself like a pressure switch.
  • the luminous elements are expediently arranged on the side opposite the holding device of the housing. If the holding device is a lapel pin, the luminous elements are thereby automatically turned towards the viewer.
  • the housing can be made of plastic for an inexpensive production. At the same time, it is isolating, so that the required wiring for the individual lights can be easily arranged in it.
  • An arc-shaped screen can run around the upper area of a luminous element. This prevents the wearer of the device from being dazzled by the lights without being covered by the other people who should be able to see the corresponding signals.
  • the ease of use can be improved in that the switches of the luminous elements are coupled in such a way that the actuation of a switch of a non-luminous luminous element switches off an illuminated luminous element that is switched on. This makes changing from one signal to the other particularly easy since the signal to be deleted no longer has to be switched off separately, but disappears automatically when the new signal is switched on.
  • a device denoted as a whole by 1 should be able to emit optical signals for communication with fellow human beings, the signal device according to FIG. 2 having a holder in the form of a pin 2, that is to say it can be worn comfortably on any item of clothing.
  • a neck chain is also conceivable as a holder, which could engage on the top 3 of the device 1.
  • Fastening loops for example in the form of a bracelet, would also be conceivable.
  • the device 1 has a plurality of electrical, optionally switchable luminous elements 4, 5 and 6 of different colors as signal transmitters for different messages.
  • three electrical luminous elements 4, 5 and 6 for simulating a road traffic light are arranged vertically one below the other in a row in the use position.
  • the first or uppermost filament 4 is expediently red
  • the middle filament 5 can have a yellow color and emit when illuminated.
  • the lights 4 to 6 are arranged on a long side 7 of a housing 8 with one another.
  • the housing 8 containing the lights contains a cavity for receiving a battery, in the embodiment of a button battery 9 as a power source.
  • the respective luminous element 4, 5 or 6 itself can be designed as a push button of an electrical pressure switch and can be pressed in against the restoring housing 8 against a restoring force.
  • these lamp bodies 4 to 6, which are designed as pressure switches, protrude from the housing surface in the use position, so that they can be easily found and operated even in the dark.
  • the light fixtures are arranged in the manner of a traffic light so that the user can feel which light fixture he is actuating.
  • the luminous elements 4 to 6 are arranged on the side opposite the holding device 2 of the housing 8.
  • the housing 8 is advantageously made of plastic.
  • Fig. 1 it can also be seen that an arc-shaped screen 10 runs around the upper area of a luminous element, which prevents the holder of the device 1 from being blinded by the luminous element which is usually switched on and is somewhat protruding. However, it remains clearly recognizable.
  • the switches for optionally switching on and off at least the two lights 4 and 6 located at the end of the row they form are advantageously locked against one another, so that these lights can only be switched on individually, so that contradicting signals cannot be sent simultaneously.
  • the red lamp 4 and the yellow lamp 5 can be switched on at the same time in order to announce the green signal.
  • the switches of the luminous elements 4 to 6 can be coupled in such a way that the actuation of a switch of a non-luminous luminous element switches off an illuminated luminous element that is switched on.
