Definitions
- This invention proposes an anti-snatch device, such as an orticant liquid spray, a siren, a dazzling device or the like, coupled with a transmitter able to be actuated when the anti-snatch device is activated and to transmit a SMS message to one or more numbers previously stored.
- an anti-snatch device such as an orticant liquid spray, a siren, a dazzling device or the like
- the device which generates and transmits the message is preferably built in the same container of the anti-snatch device and hardware or software means are provided for in order to avoid that the message is transmitted by mistake.
- the invention provides for a safety catch which can be disconnected or an additional button to be pushed at the same time as the one able to actuated the anti-snatch device to transmit the message, or a software control which allows the transmitter to be activated only if the anti-snatch device is actuated two or more times within a lapse of time fixed beforehand.
- the aim of this invention is to realise a device which, in addition to offer a certain level of protection or, anyway, to allow to discourage any prowler, is also able to send a warning message which informs a third party of the situation, as well as to give indications of the place the incident occurs.
- the present invention introduces in this sector by proposing an anti-snatch device, which is coupled with a transmitter able to generate and send a SMS message to one or more pre-selected telephone numbers and which is actuated as the anti-snatch is activated.
- the transmitter is of the kind of those used in the cellular telephones, so that it is also possible, if necessary, to spot the area the message has been transmitted from.
- an anti-snatch device composed of an orticant liquid spray can, but that the invention is not limited to this particular case but the protection is extended to all and any kinds of anti-snatch devices, being they either formed of sound devices such as sirens or the like, luminous devices such as dazzling lamps or other, provided that they are coupled with a transmitted able to generate and send preferably SMS messages.
- the device according to the invention shown in figure 1 is formed of a spray 1 containing an orticant liquid 2 under pressure, which can be sprayed through a nozzle 3.
- Spray cans of this kind have been already known on the market for some years.
- the invention is characterised in that it provides for, coupled with the said device, a transmitter, schematically shown and indicated with 4, able to be activated as the spray can is used, which transmits a SMS message, for example a message previously stored, to one or more telephone numbers, previously stored too.
- the transmitter 4 is of the kind of those used in the cellular telephones, so that it is also possible, if necessary, to spot the area the message has been transmitted from.
- the transmitter 4, preferably built in a compartment 5 obtained on the bottom of the spray can 1 is supplied by a pair of cells or batteries 6, also placed on the bottom of the spray can.
- the transmitter 4 is actuated by activating the device, and to this purpose, according to a possible embodiment, the batteries 6 are inserted in a circuit showing a pair of contacts 7 and 7' placed on the upper edge of the spray can, underneath the spraying head 3.
- the latter shows, in the bottom, a metallic ring 8 or the like, which, when the head or the button to spray the liquid is pressed, engages the contacts 7 and 7' thus closing the circuit, so that the transmitter is supplied by the batteries 6.
- Safety systems aiming to avoid the transmission of the message by mistake are also provided for.
- said means can be formed of button 9 placed far from the spraying head 3, for example on the bottom of the spray can, which closes the circuit on which the batteries 6 are inserted.
- the safety system may also provide for different embodiments.
- the button 9 may be replaced by a safety catch, such as, for example, a tongue made of insulating material or the like, which interrupts the circuit, or by any other known system.
- the system comprises a transmitter 10, of the kind used in the cellular telephones, connected to a timer 11 and controlled by a microcomputer 12 provided with re-writable memory, for example an EPROM memory indicated with 13.
- the number 14 indicates the transmitter antenna, which in the case in point may be formed, for example, of a wire, visible also in figure 1, built in the spray can wall, which may be also advantageously made of plastic.
- the microcomputer 12 manages the system, by activating the transmitter 10 when the circuit is closed further to, for example, the pressure of the spray head 3.
- the microcomputer is also connected to a timer 11 to allow a software management, which avoids the unintentional activation of the transmitter.
- the invention may provide for a program that, when the circuit is closed thus connecting the contacts 7 and 7', actuates the timer and causes the computer, in its turn, to activate the transmitter only if, within a certain number of seconds, the circuit is closed for a second time, for example to spray again the orticant liquid.
- the microcomputer takes the signal previously received as a mistake, while if it receives the second signal within the pre-selected time, it actuates, as indicated above, the transmitter.
- the person who receives the message is therefore informed of the dangerous situation occurred and is able to call, for example, the police that, since the message is received through the mobile phone network, can also spot the area the message has been transmitted from.
