Abstract

The device has a wave transmitter positioned inside a letterbox (9) and opposite to a reflective bar (1), and a wave receiver located at a residence. The transmitter transmits a coded signal when a beam transmitted by a photo electric cell towards the bar is interrupted by a mail (3). The receiver provides a light signal when it receives the coded signal, to inform a person about the mail reception.

Description

Présentation La présente invention concerne un signal à distance de réception de courrier composé d'un émetteur d'ondes avec cellule photo électrique (fig. 3 n[deg] 2 &n[deg] 4 ) et d'un récepteur, ces deux éléments sont autonomes à piles (fig. 2 n[deg] 8 ).
L'émetteur et une barre réfléchissante sont placés à l'intérieur de la boîte à lettres , dès rupture du faisceau occasionné par le passage du courrier (fig. 1 n[deg] 3), il émet un signal codé transmis, sur plusieurs dizaines ou centaines de mètres, au récepteur situé au domicile.
Cet émetteur comporte un compartiment pour piles (fig. 3 n[deg] 4) , une diode pour surveiller l'état des piles (fig.3 n[deg] 5), un interrupteur (fig. 3 n[deg] 6) et une cellule (ou plusieurs cellules) balayant la largeur de la boîte à lettres (fig. 3 n[deg] 7).La proximité d'autres boîtes pourvues du même dispositif oblige le codage de chaque émetteur et récepteur.
Le récepteur positionné au domicile perçoit le signal, des diodes s'allument (fig. 2 n[deg] 5) pour évoquer la réception du courrier, un signal sonore (fig. 2 n[deg] 6) peut également compléter le signal visuel.
Ce dispositif est destiné aux personnes handicapées ou âgées ou simplement éloignées de la boîte à lettres : cidex, boîtes collectives, ou possédant un grand terrain.
L'émetteur pourvu de la cellule photo électrique est fixé sur un support (fig. 3 n[deg]3)

remplacement des piles, une barre réfléchissante est placée sur le côté opposé (fig. 1 n[deg]1 , fig. 3 n[deg]1 ).) de la boîte à lettres (fig. 1 n[deg] 9 ), c'est la coupure du faisceau par le courrier qui déclenche le signal.
L'émetteur a pour but de balayer par sa cellule ou ses cellules la largeur de la boîte à lettres Revendications 1) Dispositif destiné à être informé de la réception du courrier dans sa boîte à lettres, composé de deux éléments autonomes à piles (fig. 2 & 3 ). Le premier élément positionné à l'intérieur de la boîte à lettres- est un émetteur d'ondes comportant une ou plusieurs cellules (fig. 3 n[deg] 7) (fig. 1 n[deg] 2). Le second élément -situé au 5 domicile- est un récepteur d'ondes comportant un signal lumineux (fig.2 n[deg] 5) fonctionnant lorsque l'émetteur en aura transmis l'ordre codé et aura été actionné dès la rupture du faisceau par le courrier (fig. 1 n[deg]3 ).
Presentation The present invention relates to a remote mail reception signal composed of a wave transmitter with photoelectric cell (fig. 3 n [deg] 2 & n [deg] 4) and a receiver, these two elements are autonomous batteries (fig. 2 n [deg] 8).
The transmitter and a reflective bar are placed inside the mailbox, as soon as the beam is broken due to the passage of mail (fig. 1 n [deg] 3), it emits a coded signal transmitted, over several dozen or hundreds of meters, to the receiver located at home.
This transmitter has a battery compartment (fig. 3 n [deg] 4), a diode to monitor the state of the batteries (fig. 3 n [deg] 5), a switch (fig. 3 n [deg] 6) and a cell (or several cells) scanning the width of the mailbox (fig. 3 n [deg] 7). The proximity of other boxes provided with the same device requires the coding of each transmitter and receiver.
The receiver positioned at home perceives the signal, LEDs light up (fig. 2 n [deg] 5) to evoke the reception of mail, an audible signal (fig. 2 n [deg] 6) can also complete the visual signal .
This device is intended for disabled or elderly people or simply distant from the mailbox: cidex, collective boxes, or having a large plot.
The transmitter with the photoelectric cell is fixed on a support (fig. 3 n [deg] 3)

battery replacement, a reflective bar is placed on the opposite side (fig. 1 n [deg] 1, fig. 3 n [deg] 1).) of the letter box (fig. 1 n [deg] 9), the beam is cut by the mail which triggers the signal.
The purpose of the sender is to scan the width of the mailbox by its cell or cells. Claims 1) Device intended to be informed of the receipt of mail in its mailbox, composed of two autonomous battery-operated elements (fig. 2 & 3). The first element positioned inside the mailbox - is a wave transmitter comprising one or more cells (fig. 3 n [deg] 7) (fig. 1 n [deg] 2). The second element - located at home 5 - is a wave receiver comprising a light signal (fig.2 n [deg] 5) operating when the transmitter has transmitted the coded order and has been activated as soon as the beam is broken by mail (fig. 1 n [deg] 3).

Claims (1)

2) Dispositif selon la revendication 1 le récepteur peut être pourvu d'un signal sonore (fig.2 n[deg] 6) complétant le signal visuel.2) Device according to claim 1 the receiver can be provided with an audible signal (fig.2 n [deg] 6) supplementing the visual signal. 10 3) Dispositif selon la revendication 1 autorisant le codage de l'émetteur et du récepteur pour une fiabilité de réception du signal 4) Dispositif selon la revendication 1 acceptant l'émission du signal par simple rupture du faisceau entre la cellule et la barre réfléchissante (fig. 1 n[deg] 3 ) 5) Dispositif selon la revendication 1 autorisant la transmission du signal émetteur3) Device according to claim 1 authorizing the coding of the transmitter and the receiver for a reliable reception of the signal 4) Device according to claim 1 accepting the emission of the signal by simple breaking of the beam between the cell and the reflective bar (fig. 1 n [deg] 3) 5) Device according to claim 1 authorizing the transmission of the transmitter signal 15 récepteur sur plusieurs dizaines ou centaines de mètres. 6) Dispositif selon la revendication 1 nécessitant le balayage du faisceau sur l'intégralité du côté opposé de la boîte à lettres15 receiver over several tens or hundreds of meters. 6) Device according to claim 1 requiring scanning of the beam over the entire opposite side of the mailbox
