Abstract
An adapter has a 360° infra-red sensor 2 to detect movement and body heat, which controls a light bulb 1 to switch it off if no-one is present. An adjustable dial/timer 4 is used to set a delay so that the light will stay on from one minute to fifteen minutes from detecting a person.
Description
I
"Common Sensor"
Introduction
The invention relates to a sensor commonly for homes and businesses, which can be made to fit wattage and ranges of all efficient and regular light bulbse.g. fluorescent, incandescent, halogen, low energy bulbs, CFL bulbs etc. etc. The invention is to replace the lack of thinking in hwnans and huge loss of energy world-wide; also excessive expenditures by power stations and their customers.
Power stations use up fossil fuels to keep up with the demand of electricity used and customers spend additional means on their electric bills due to lack of thinking however with the "Common Sensor", it does-the thinking for us, switching lights off after departure from a room or area, saving on resources every time.
"There is light at the end of the tunnel." If these "Common Sensors" were a thermostat for global warning and were compulsory to use world-wide, we would all take part in turning down the dial of our carbon footprint, pollution and Co2 emissions on a scale unimaginable to mankind! "Common Sensor"
Background
The background to the problem my invention solves is the immense expenditure on electricity in homes and businesses, loss of energy and waste of fossil fuels in power stations.
Lack of thinking from people leaving lights switched on, on a global scale causes pollution levels to increase, astronomically.
"Common Sensor" Solution S The Common Sensor not only saves on expenditure but also reserves energy at power stations.? cutting down on fossil fuels, reducing pollution levels and Co emissions world-wide, all because the thinking is Left to an automatic "Common Sensor" and not to us humans who automatically forget to switch lights off.
-"Common Sensor" What the Invention Does The Common Sensor has an infrared sensor which detects movement and body heat, switches on the light when someone enters a room and switches off after departure according to an adjustable timer or dial which can be set from one minute to fifteen minutes.
The invention not only saves on expenditure but also reserves energy at power stations, cutting down on fossil fuels, reducing pollution levels and Co2 Emissions world-wide, all because the thinking is left'an automatic "Common Sensor" and not to us humans who automatically forget to switch the lights off.
Lights are left on all over the household: bathrooms, bedrooms, landing, ball, utility room, kitchen, dining room, porch, garage, attic, conservatory/sunroorn, extension and basementl cellar meanwhile, families spend hours every evening relaxing in their living rooms watching television, oblivious to the fact that lights left on in vacant rooms are running up bills, wasting fossil fuels and polluting our planet on an astronomical scale day in and day out, the Common Sensor switches lights off every time on a timer/dial from one minute to fifteen minutes after a person exits a room.
"Common Sensor." The Essential Features The Common Sensor can be fitted in any room or anywhere necessary and can be made in any colour, multi-coloured, hue, camouflage and different design patterns, shapes and/or sizes using plastic, steel and electronics to form one single unit to litany light bulb.
The invention can be made to fit any wattage and ranges of all efficient and regular light bulbs: e.g. fluorescent, incandescent, halogen, low energy bulbs, CFL bulbs, etc. The Common Sensor has an infrared 360° sensor which has an adjustable timer/dial that can be set from one minute to fifteen minutes after departure from a room or area.
The invention can be made with any connection and that of any other subsequent connections, preferably push-in or screw-in àonncctions.
"Common Sensor" An Example of how the Invention Works The Common Sensor has an infrared sensor which detects movement and body heat, switches on the light when someone enters a room and switches off after departure, according to an adjustable timer or dial which can be set from one minute to fifteen minutes.
"Common Sensor" Assembly The "Common Sensor" in Fig. I of the drawing shows sensor and bulb together (1) glass and light, (2) infrared sensor 3600 (3) steel connector fixed to sensor as one unit (4) adjustable dial/timer (5) sensor holder, (6) power connections (7) bulb filament. Cauns
