Abstract

Portable miniaturised visual indicator 1 fixed by a clip 2 and bearing buttons 20, 21, 22, 23... for controlling continuous or flashing coloured light sources 10, 11, 12, 13... in such a way that the person in question wearing this indicator can display his situation by a simple action on the button which he has selected and which produces the said illumination. The invention can be applied in numerous fields such as for care workers, the deaf and dumb, the disabled or can be used as a simple gadget.

Description

Invention a trait au domaine des indicateurs visuels et concerne plus particuliérement ceux qui sont du type miniature portable. The invention relates to the field of visual indicators and relates more particularly to those which are of the portable miniature type.

On sait que,le comportement social des individus est lié à des variations subjectives entraînant des changements d?hu meur ou encore,dans le domaine professionnel,llétat de préoccupation peut conduire à des situations conflictuelles dans les rapports sociaux. We know that the social behavior of individuals is linked to subjective variations leading to changes in mood or, in the professional field, the state of concern can lead to conflicting situations in social relationships.

Dans le domaine médical par exemple,on connatt bien légat d'occupation du personnel soignant qui ne peut en service distraire qutune faible partie de son temps pour fournir des informations à la demande. In the medical field, for example, there is a well-known legal profession of nursing staff, who can only distract a small part of their time on duty to provide information on request.

ta répétition des réponses du genre "vous voyez bien que je suis occupé(e)" est fastidieuse et peut entre préjudiciable au bon fonctionnement du service. your repetition of responses such as "you can see that I am busy" is tedious and can be detrimental to the proper functioning of the service.

On a bien immaginé des vignettes partatives genre badge pour fournir visuellement et en permanence la réponse préventive mais une telle solution ne donne pas totalement satisfaction en ce sens que le changement de situation requiert le changement de badge ou son occultation ou son retrait ce qui cause une gêne pour l'utilisateur aumoins aussi importante que la réponse verbale elle-meAme.  Partial badge-type stickers have been imagined to provide the preventive response visually and permanently, but such a solution is not entirely satisfactory in the sense that the change of situation requires the change of badge or its concealment or its withdrawal, which causes a annoyance for the user at least as important as the verbal response itself.

Cest à partir de cette constatation que le demandeur a été amené à se poser la question de savoir si un moyen visuel miniaturisé portable pour lequel la réponse choisie à ltaffi- chage pourrait être obtenue par un geste simple,ne pourrait pas amener la solution recherchée. It was on the basis of this observation that the applicant was led to ask the question of knowing whether a portable miniaturized visual means for which the chosen response to the display could be obtained by a simple gesture, could not bring about the solution sought.

La suite du présent texte va donc décrare,dans le cadre de l'invention et à l'appui du dessin annexé,comment peut être mis en oeuvre un indicatenr visuel miniaturisé portable comportant des diodes électroluminescentes de couleurs différentes et une pile d'alimentation ainsi que des touches de sélection de situations.  The remainder of this text will therefore describe, in the context of the invention and in support of the appended drawing, how a portable miniaturized visual indicator can be implemented comprising light-emitting diodes of different colors and a power supply battery as well as situation selection keys.

Sur la figure annexée,ou l'on a représenté l'indicateur visuel repéré 1 dans son ensemble sur la lisiére d'un bord de blouse d'infirmière par exemple,on voit tout d'abord que cet indicateur est agrafé par un clips 2 du genre micrecravatte et que sa position même le rend d'une part trés lisible tant par l'interlocuteur que par l'intéréssé lui-mssme et dlautre part,trés accassible sans occasionner pour autant une glane particulière. In the appended figure, where the visual indicator marked 1 as a whole has been shown on the edge of a nurse's gown edge, for example, we first see that this indicator is stapled by a clip 2 of the microvravatte kind and that its very position makes it on the one hand very legible as much by the interlocutor as by the interested party itself and on the other hand, very accassible without causing a particular glean.

Cet indicateur 1 qui peut être d'allure parallélépipédique comporte d'une part,un interrupteur marche/arret 3,une série de diodes électroluminescentes 10,11,12 et 13 et en regard de celles-ci,des touches de commahde 20,21,22 et 23 sur lesquelles peuvent être portées les indications écrites correspondant aux informations à faire connaître. This indicator 1 which can be of parallelepipedal appearance comprises on the one hand, an on / off switch 3, a series of light-emitting diodes 10,11,12 and 13 and opposite these, control buttons 20,21 , 22 and 23 on which the written indications corresponding to the information to be made known may be given.

Ces informations résultant de 1tillumination d'une diode donnée peuvent découler d'un code coloré connu internationnav lement tel que: "Rouge"-@non libre, "Orange"@ attente, "Vert"-@libre et "Jaune"-@hors service et être continues ou clignotantes. This information resulting from the illumination of a given diode can derive from an internationally known colored code such as: "Red" - @ not free, "Orange" @ standby, "Green" - @ free and "Yellow" - @ outside service and be continuous or flashing.

Elles peuvent également découler de l'information écrite en clair,sur ou près de la touche dtillumination tel que par exemple:"Rouge"-ren remplacement. They can also result from information written in clear, on or near the illumination key such as for example: "Red" - replacement.

On peut bien entendu utiliser un tel indicateur dans le domaine du gadget ce qui peut apporter un effet surprenant en considération des diverses indications qui peuvent être portées. One can of course use such an indicator in the field of the gadget which can bring a surprising effect in consideration of the various indications which can be worn.

I1 est bien évident que la partie fonctionnelle d'un tel indicateur est bien connue en elle-même sans qu'il soit nécessaire d'en faire un important développement tant en ce qui concerne la pile d'alimentation 4 qui peut être au mercure ou encore solaire, les diodes électroluminescentes qui selon leurs couleurs comportent des dérivés de phosphure arsénium
Gallium ou encore les touches qui peuvent être à enclenchement ou à effleurement.It is quite obvious that the functional part of such an indicator is well known in itself without it being necessary to make a significant development thereof as regards the supply battery 4 which may be mercury or still solar, light-emitting diodes which, according to their colors, contain arsenium phosphide derivatives
Gallium or the keys which can be snap or touch.

I1 est précisé en outre que lesdites touches peuvent,dans une variante,constituer elles-meAme les sources lumineuses.  I1 is further specified that said keys can, in a variant, constitute themselves light sources.

Il est également possible d'effectuer un montage électro- nique à circuit d'interface à diodes de blocage,transistors et résistance série afin dtabaisser le seuil de tension de déclenchement à 0,6 volts par exemple de la diode électroluminescente mise en circuit. It is also possible to carry out an electronic circuit with interface circuit with blocking diodes, transistors and series resistance in order to lower the triggering voltage threshold to 0.6 volts, for example of the light-emitting diode switched on.

On peut envisager sans difficulté un champ trés large d'application de 1 t invention chez les sourds-muets par exemple ou les personnes trés occupées ou handicapées ou enfin dans le domaine du gadget. We can easily envisage a very wide field of application of 1 t invention for deaf-mutes for example or very busy or disabled people or finally in the field of gadgets.

I1 est évident que toutes les variantes qui seraient apportées ç l1invention en ce qui concerne:la forme du bottier qui peut être rectangulaire ou carrée ou ronde ou elliptique, le nombre des diodes et des touches leurs couleurs et les indications portées,leur disposition et leur mode de fonctionnement qui peut être à enclenchement ou à effleurement ainsi que le mode de fixation ou encore de fabrication qui peut comporter un enrobage de matière plastique,resteraient dans le cadre de cette invention lequel cadre est défini dans les revendications qui suivent.  It is obvious that all the variants which would be made to the invention as regards: the shape of the shoemaker which can be rectangular or square or round or elliptical, the number of diodes and keys their colors and the indications carried, their arrangement and their operating mode which can be latching or touching as well as the fixing or manufacturing mode which may include a coating of plastic material, would remain within the scope of this invention which framework is defined in the claims which follow.
