Description of the invention:

In the drawings which illustrate the invention;

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the bracelet.

Figure 2 is a perspective view of the display.

Figure 3 is a perspective view of the interior of the bracelet case.

Figure 4 is a front view and a sectional view of the assembly between the case and the bracelet.

Figure 5 is a front view of the interior of the display.

Figure 6 is a perspective view of the interior of the display before assembly.

FIG. 7 presents four perspective views indicating the direction of positioning of the bracelet.

FIG. 8 presents four front views indicating the direction of positioning of the housing.

Figure 9 is a table showing the different positions of the bracelet and case depending on the movements.

The invention comprises a bracelet (1) shown in Figure 1 and a display (2) shown in the figure

2. Figure 3 shows the inside of the case (3) located on the bracelet (1). There is a ball movement contact (4) connected to one of the two channels of a radio transmitter (5). The other channel (6) is used for resetting by pressing the triangle button (7).

The case (3) is mounted on a snap of the bracelet (8) allowing rotation (Figure 4).

In this latching, a cylindrical magnet (9) is inserted so as to allow immobilization of the ball of the movement contact when the housing is in the first position.

In Figure 5 we can see the display equipped with a radio receiver (10) connected to a pulse counter module with digital display (11).

Figure 6 shows the display before the installation of the interior elements. The support base (12) allows the housing of the LED pulse counter (11) and the tongue (13) allows its maintenance.

The hole (14) is located on a wall separating the power supply and the electronic modules.

Principle of use:

The positioning of the bracelet and the case must be done according to the movements practiced.

For the bracelet, it must be positioned on the wrist from the front or sideways, or on the ankle from the front or sideways (Figure 7).

For the case, its positioning must be done so that the triangle button (7) is directed in the direction of movement. There are four possible positions (Figure 8). The first position is used for locking the system.

The table in Figure 9 shows an example of settings for some movements.

When a movement is detected, the triangle button (7) lights up. When the movement is finished (initial position) the triangle button goes out.

The display can be reset to zero by pressing the triangle button (7) provided that the latter is off.

Interest of the invention:

There are already devices to count the movements of an athlete in the form of a bracelet with live display, or using a smartphone.

These devices use another technology such as accelerometer type sensors subject to programming. Most devices do not allow remote reading; the latter is necessary for movements of the lower limbs since the sensor is positioned on the ankle.

For devices allowing remote reading, a smart-phone is used as a display with a dedicated application, which limits the use of these devices to smart-phone owners.

The present invention uses a very simple, inexpensive and autonomous technology.

The goal is to offer a simple and practical technology, accessible for a large number of people wanting to play sports with a movement counter.

Claims (7)

Claims: The embodiments of the invention, over which an exclusive right of property or privilege is claimed, are as follows: 1. Device consisting of a bracelet and a display. The bracelet is provided with a case in which there is a ball movement contact connected to a radio transmitter. Characterized in that the ball movement contact when activated, triggers the sending of a radio signal. The display is fitted with a radio receiver connected to a pulse counter module with digital display. 2. A device according to claim 1, characterized in that the movement contact is oriented parallel to the length of the housing and in that the "closed contact" part is oriented towards the top of the housing. 3. A device according to claim 1, characterized in that the radio transmitter is of frequency 433 MHz and powered by a 12V battery of type A27. 4. A device according to claim 1, characterized in that said case is mounted in rotation on the bracelet thus making it possible to direct the case according to the movements practiced. 5. A device according to claim 1 and 3 characterized in that the bracelet is equipped with a cylindrical magnet in the latching of the bracelet thus allowing the immobilization of the ball of the movement contact when the case is set to the number position 3. 6. A device according to claim 1, characterized in that said 12v radio receiver is equipped with momentary mode (press and hold the button-> open, release the button-> closed). 7. A device according to claim 1, characterized in that said display is equipped with a support base and a tongue allowing the assembly and the maintenance of the pulse counter without the use of screws. 1/8 Drawings:
