Description

DESCRIPTION

Walking stick with alarm system

Object of the invention

The present invention refers to a baton to be used to protect people in dangerous situations, which offers significant technical advantages over other similar batons.

It is designed to help people who need to use a cane in case they faint or collapse without anyone a priori realizing what happened.

It comes to propose a simple and effective solution for situations in which the person is defenseless and lacks resources to recover, adding a new specific function to attract public attention that can somehow help to get out of an embarrassing situation.

It is an obvious advantage of this invention that the user of the cane with the proposed alarm system constitutes true protection at that moment of danger in which the user, due to finding himself fallen on the ground, is helpless without being able to help himself and needs to call attention. for someone to help him at least to get up and later to receive medical help for his fractures if there have been any.

To stop the warning alarm, all you have to do is return the cane to its vertical position.

The industrial application of this invention is within the field of batons with a warning and protection function for people who fall to the ground and are unprotected, and more specifically, batons with a warning system.

Background of the invention

Although no invention identical to the one described has been found, we present below the documents found that reflect the state of the art related to it.

Thus, the document ES1292419 refers to a stick with intelligent communication systems, characterized in that it comprises a stick body (1) that is attached to a grip means (2) by one of its ends (a) and to a support means (3 ) at its other distal end (b), has systems (4) powered by an electrical power supply (5).

ES2087014 proposes an obstacle detector-warning device. specially designed to guide blind people, for which it bases its operation on the emission and reception of ultrasound indicating to the user, through two sound generators, the location of objects. Its purpose is to enable guidance in complete safety by detecting objects that are, even at ground level such as holes, unevenness, etc., it has a video sensor (5) that is connected through an analog-digital converter to a microprocessor (1) to detect the image emitted by bodies in the visible infrared spectrum, determining the temperature and color of the obstacles. The analog/digital converter (2) is connected to two tone receivers (3) and the microprocessor (1) to a tone generator (4) and this to the tone emitter (6) and two sound generators (7) that They can be voice synthesizers to provide coded or spoken information about the location of objects. It is applicable to the detection of people or objects in the dark and can incorporate a radio frequency receiver for receiving external signals indicating, for example, the status of a traffic light.

ES0423658 describes an apparatus and warning or warning system for the drop in level or depletion of a liquid in a tank of any size or shape with a straight or inclined bottom.

Conclusions: As can be seen from the investigation carried out, none of the documents found solve the problem posed as does the requested invention.

Description of the invention

The invention object of the present descriptive memory consists of a removable cane in sections with an alarm system, assisted by a sensor that activates a loudspeaker with an alarm when the cane is in a horizontal position.

Said cane object of this invention comprises different components within one of the three sections that are detailed below.

The sections are one upper and one lower made of wood that are attached to the central metal section by fixing screws so that they can be disassembled by maintenance personnel or by the user if one of the three sections needs to be changed.

The center section is made up of the components listed below.

- An electronic device with a circuit that joins the remaining elements and communicates them with each other.

-. A sensor, as a building level in a vertical position, with the peculiarity that its activation is carried out when the contained liquid comes into contact with both poles of the container, closing the electronic circuit and passing the current through the electronic device.

- A small yet powerful speaker with a characteristic alarm sound that allows you to detect the user and their cane without difficulty.

- A timer that is activated when the current enters and after 5 seconds the speaker alarm. - The power supply, since the electronic device does not require continuous use, consists of a cavity with restricted access to the general key that accompanies the invention to prevent its accidental opening, said supply being powered by two AA batteries.

To stop the warning alarm, all you have to do is return the cane to its vertical position. In a different embodiment the central section with the built-in alarm is attached to a wheelchair and the alarm is activated when the wheelchair tips over and lies on the ground in a horizontal position.

Description of a preferred embodiment

A preferred embodiment of the device object of the present invention, with reference to the numerical references, can be based on a cane (1) removable in sections with an alarm system, assisted by a horizontality sensor (7) of the cane (1) that activates an alarm loudspeaker (8) when the baton (1) is in a horizontal position.

The cane (1) object of this invention comprises three sections that are detailed below. The sections are an upper (2) and a lower one (3) made of wood that are attached to the central metal section (4) by means of screws (5) so that they can be disassembled by maintenance personnel or by the user if they need to be changed. one of the three sections.

The central metal section is made up of the components detailed below. - An electronic device (8) comprising a circuit (6) that joins the remaining parts and communicates with each other.

- A horizontality sensor (7) as a level of the building in a vertical position with the peculiarity that its activation is carried out when the contained liquid comes into contact with both poles of the container that closes the electronic circuit (6) passing current for said circuit.

- A small yet powerful speaker (8) with a characteristic alarm sound that allows the user and his cane (1) to be detected without difficulty.

- A timer (9) that is activated when the current enters the electronic circuit (6) and after 5 seconds activates the alarm speaker (8).

- The power supply (10), since the electronic circuit (6) does not require continuous use, includes a housing with restricted access to the general key that accompanies the invention to prevent its accidental opening, said power supply (10) Consists of two AA batteries. To stop the warning alarm, all you have to do is return the cane to its vertical position.
