Definitions
- the present invention relates to an alarm indicator for children and more particularly to an alarm indicator showing, depending on the time, figures or images in different positions and colors.
- the known forms of alarm clock executions have significant disadvantages in the case of children.
- the alarm clocks have an alarm function, whether by ringing, vibration or other devices of all kinds. These alarm functions have the disadvantage of being useless and even completely undesirable for children, because they unnecessarily wake the child.
- These forms of known alarm clock executions still have a significant drawback insofar as they include indications that the child cannot read.
- the object of the present invention therefore consists in remedying the drawbacks of the known embodiments.
- the alarm clock indicator for children comprises a dial which is mounted in a housing comprising known clock or analog or digital timer elements.
- the dial has one or more setting time indicators and one or more actuation buttons for setting the time.
- the dial includes figures or images which are presented in two positions, a sleeping position and an awakening position. The positions can be accentuated by color differences. The position of a lying figure indicates to the child that he must stay in bed and the standing position indicates to the child that he can get up, the moment of change being determined by a setting of the parents.
- the advantages of the principles of the invention are that children have an easy to understand indication of time, an indication that they could not have otherwise. When they wake up this indication lets them know if they still have to sleep or if they can get up. In this way the child can no longer be misled without knowing it.
- the principles of the invention have the advantage of not waking the child but on the contrary of encouraging him to sleep as long as possible.
- the figures can be known figures of the child, a cartoon figure or an animal for example, which will encourage the child to imitate what he can consider as a friend.
- the duration of sleep which is very important for young children, is significantly increased. Parents are less unnecessarily disturbed in the morning or during a nap, which also increases their number of hours of sleep.
- Figure 1 shows a front view of an embodiment of a wake-up indicator.
- Figure 2 shows a side view of an embodiment of a wake-up indicator.
- Figure 3 shows a front view of another embodiment of an alarm clock indicator.
- a wake-up indicator 1 comprises a housing 6 in which is mounted a dial 7. Timer or clockwork elements are mounted in the housing.
- the dial 7 includes alarm 2 and sleep 3 figures and a time setting indicator 4.
- the time setting indicator is set by buttons 5 and 8, for example.
- the dial 7 can be constituted by a plate which has openings having the desired shapes of figures, for example figures formed by the idol of the child, and of a time adjustment indicator, the luminous elements being behind the openings.
- the dial can also be made up of liquid crystal elements for example.
- the alarm clock may include several time setting indicators and several buttons.
- the alarm clock 2 and sleep 3 figures can have different shapes and different positions as well as different colors.
- the figures can also be interchangeable.
- Figure 1 shows a sleep figure 3 in the prone position and an awakening figure 2 in the standing position.
- the figures can be differentiated by colors, the sleeping figure presenting a red light and the awakening figure presenting a green color, for example.
