The present invention relates to an apparatus for use in hazardous environments, comprising an item of clothing and a detachable control unit.
The present invention also relates to a method of deploying a detachable control unit with an item of clothing for use in hazardous environments.
It is known to provide detachable control units for items of clothing that have embedded looms, as described in GB 2534678, assigned to the present applicant. Detachable control units are disclosed that are retained within internal pockets, thereby protecting the control unit when in use. However, control units are now being produced with visual displays, including light emitting devices and visual display units.
It is also known to attach external peripheral devices, such as audio detectors, gas detectors and image recording equipment, as disclosed in GB 2553778, assigned to the present applicant.
According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus for us in hazardous environments, as set out in claim 1.
According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of deploying a detachable control unit with an item of clothing for us in hazardous environments, as set out in claim 12.
Embodiments of the invention will be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings. The detailed embodiments show the best mode known to the inventor and provide support for the invention as claimed. However, they are only exemplary and should not be used to interpret or limit the scope of the claims. Their purpose is to provide a teaching to those skilled in the art. Components and processes distinguished by ordinal phrases such as "first" and "second" do not necessarily define an order or ranking of any sort. In the drawings: Figure 1 shows an electrical connector; Figure 2 shows an apparatus for supporting the electrical connector shown in Figure 1; Figure 3 illustrates a loom assembly; Figure 4 details the attachment of connectors to a loom assembly; Figure 5 shows electrical connectors extending from an item of clothing; Figure 6 shows an example of a control unit; Figure 7 shows the control unit identified in Figure 6 attached to the item of clothing shown in figure 5; Figure 8 illustrates the detachment of a control unit; Figure 9 illustrates the further detachment of a control unit; Figure 10 shows a control unit after detachment; Figure 11 illustrates a loom connector; Figure 12 shows the underside of the connector shown in Figure 11; Figure 13 shows an example of a peripheral device; and Figure 14 shows an example of operatives working in a hazardous environment.
Figure 1 An electrical connector 101 is shown in Figure 1, that is configured to provide a mechanically detachable electrical interface for equipment that is supported on the external surface of an item of clothing, such as a high visibility jacket, vest or parka for example, for use in hazardous environments.
The electrical connector may be of the type identified as a freedom LP360 type device, available from Fischer connectors of St-Prez, Switzerland. The electrical connector 101 shown in Figure 1 includes a rigid component 102 that is configured to extend externally through an orifice defined in an item of clothing. In addition, the connector 101 also includes an internal electrical interface portion 103. Many connectors of this type include a central threaded region 104 for securing the connector; possibly using an appropriately threaded nut. In the present embodiment, such an approach has been rejected, given that the removal of devices of this type often places excessive force on items of clothing that in turn may lead to the material being damaged. Thus, in an alternative embodiment, the threaded section 104 is not present and the overall depth of the device is reduced.
Figure 2 An apparatus for supporting an electrical connector of the type shown in Figure 1 includes a circuit board 201, as shown in Figure 2. The circuit board 201 includes contacts 202 that are attachable to the internal electrical interface portion 103 of the electrical connector. The circuit board 201 also includes a first set of loom connectors 203 and a second set of loom connectors 204.
Figure 3 A loom sub assembly 301, as illustrated in Figure 3, is constructed by connecting the circuit board 201 to a second circuit board 302 with a first loom portion 303. Circuit board 201 is also connected to a third circuit board 304 by a second loom portion 305. A third loom portion 306 connects the third circuit board 304 to a fourth circuit board 307 Thus, in this embodiment, a total of four connectors have been provided. However, it should be appreciated that in alternative embodiments, the chain of connectors forming the loom may be extended by attaching further circuit boards in a similar configuration.
Figure 4 To complete a loom sub assembly, the first contacts 202 of each circuit board receive a connector of the type described with reference to Figure 1.
The combination of the circuit board 201, the connector 101, an end of the first loom portion and an end of the second loom portion are over moulded, in this embodiment, in rubber to provide a cover 401. However, it should be appreciated that alternative techniques may be used to define this cover to provide mechanical stability and water resistance.
The cover 401 includes a first strain relief portion 402 for supporting the first loom portion 303. In addition, a similar second strain relief portion 403 is provided for the second loom portion 305.
To facilitate attachment, the cover 401 includes a first side flange 404 and a second side flange 405. In an embodiment, the first side flange 404 and the second side flange 405 are glued to an underside of an item of clothing.
Alternatively, or in addition, the cover 401 is attached to a garment by stitching the first side flange 404 and stitching the second side flange 405 to the garment. Thus, in this embodiment, a first side flange 404 and a second side flange 405 extend beyond the position of the circuit board contained within the cover 401.
The cover 401 includes an orifice 406 for receiving the rigid component 102. In an embodiment, an outer cover 407 is also provided that includes a similar orifice 408 for receiving the rigid component 102. In an embodiment, the outer cover 407 also includes indications 409 for receiving stitches, such that the stitches extend through the outer cover 407, an item of clothing 410 and the first cover 404.
A control unit is housed within a dedicated external device. The control unit may include a power supply or power may be provided by an additional device. The control unit communicates with other devices connected to the loom, with the loom providing electrical connectors for the provision of power and for the transmission of data. In addition, data transmission may also occur using local radio protocols.
In the embodiment of Figure 4, the mechanically detachable electrical interface presents a circular surface 411. The circular surface 411 is substantially parallel to the outer surface of the garment and includes a plurality of concentric electrical connectors.
In the embodiment of Figure 4, cover 401 includes at least one notch 412 for insertion within a notch hole 413 within the outer cover 407.
Figure 5 The present embodiment facilitates the attachment of a control unit while allowing an operative or a supervisor to monitor visual displays on the control unit itself. In particular, the present embodiment provides an apparatus for use in hazardous environments, comprising an item of clothing and a detachable control unit. The item of clothing comprises a loom of electrical conductors, light emitting devices connected to the loom and a plurality of peripheral device connectors.
Each peripheral device connector is electrically attached to the loom and extends through an orifice in the item of clothing. It is configured to detachably support a peripheral device and electrically connect the peripheral device to the loom by means of a loom connector. The detachable control unit comprises a communication device for communicating with attached peripheral devices and a loom connector for connecting the control unit to a selected one of the peripheral device connectors.
When a control unit, also referred to as a "hub", is mounted externally, it tends to be mounted on the item of clothing towards the top of the torso. However, problems may arise due to variations in body shape, such that there is a tendency for the control unit to protrude and as such could accidentally be pulled off. Thus, an embodiment provides a second peripheral device connector located on the item of clothing.
The control unit itself is therefore provided with a second loom connector, such that the first loom connector may be attached to the first peripheral device connector, with a second loom connector connected to the second peripheral device connector. In the embodiment shown in Figure 5, a first conventional peripheral device connector 501 is provided along with a second peripheral device connector 502. In an embodiment, it is necessary for connections to be made to both of these connectors. However, in an embodiment, only one of the connectors, such as connector 501, is actually electrically connected to the loom, with a second peripheral device connector 502 only providing mechanical attachment.
In the example shown in Figure 5, the item of clothing is a vest constructed from fluorescent material 503 with strips of light reflective material 504. In this embodiment, the loom is retained beneath the light reflective strip 504, such that peripheral device connectors 501 and 502 extend from the light reflective strip 504. In this embodiment, a sub assembly 505 of light emitting diodes 506 is also attached to the light reflective strip 504.
Figure 6 An example of a control unit 601 is shown in Figure 6. A rear surface 602 of the control unit has extending therefrom a first loom connector 611 and a second loom connector 612. Thus, to achieve attachment, the first peripheral device connector 501 is inserted into the first loom connector 611 and the second peripheral device connector 502 is located within the second loom connector 612.
Figure 7 After attachment, as described with reference to Figure 6, the control unit 601 is secured to the item of clothing, with electrical connections being established to the embedded loom. Thus, in this configuration, it is possible for an operative to activate the control unit by operation of a control button 701, while also being able to view output indications provided by light emitting diodes retained within a transparent enclosure 702.
Figure 8 An embodiment provides for a method of deploying a detachable control unit with an item of clothing for use in hazardous environments. A detachable control unit is attached externally to an item of clothing by locating a loom connector, located on a rear surface of the detachable control unit, around a peripheral device connector extending from the item of clothing. A plurality of peripheral device connectors each extend from the item of clothing and these are mutually connected by a loom of electrical connectors.
The removable control units are configured to communicate with an additional peripheral device attached to another one of the peripheral device connectors. In an embodiment, a single connection is made, such that it is possible to rotate the control unit relative the item of clothing, in which the loom connector rotates around a connected peripheral device connector. The peripheral device connector has a substantially circular top surface defining a plurality of concentric electrical terminals and the loom connector has a substantially circular annulus configured to detachably locate around the substantially circular top.
An embodiment provides a tab 801 with a first end 802 that is stitched to the item of clothing. A peripheral device connector 803 extends through a hole in the tab. A second end 804 of the tab is configured to receive a manually applied pulling force to facilitate the detachment of the circular annulus from the peripheral device connector. As illustrated in Figure 8, this allows an operative to support the control unit in a first hand, while pulling the tab 801 with their other hand.
Figure 9 Following the supporting action described with reference to Figure 8, an operative applies force to the tab 801 at its second end 804, substantially in the direction of arrow 901. This deployment effectively provides a class 2 lever, in which the load, in this case the force required to achieve detachment, is in the middle of the lever. The tab is stitched at its opposite end to provide the fulcrum for the class 2 lever.
Figure 10 Having applied force in the direction of arrow 901, as described with reference to Figure 9, detachment occurs, as shown in Figure 10.
In an embodiment, the method further comprises the step of locating a second loom connector, located on the control unit, upon a second peripheral device connector. Thus, for this embodiment, the operation described with reference to Figures 8 to 10, is performed with respect to both connections.
Figure 11 A loom connector 1101 is shown in Figure 11, that is configured to mechanically attach to a peripheral device connector. In addition to providing a mechanical attachment, an electrical interface is also defined by electrical contacts 1102 to 1105, each connecting with a respective concentric electrical contact defined on the outer circular surface of a peripheral device connector.
The loom connector 1101 facilitates the assembly of an apparatus for interfacing a peripheral device to a peripheral device connector, in which the peripheral device connector is connected to a loom within the item of clothing. The loom connector 1101 is configured to mechanically attach to the peripheral device connector and electrically interface with the peripheral device connector.
In this embodiment, the loom connector 1101 is electrically connected to its own circuit board 1111.
Figure 12 The underside of circuit board 1111 is illustrated in Figure 12, showing a processing device 1201. Electrical communication between the processing device 1201 and the electrical conductors 1102 to 1105 is provided by the provision of a ribbon cable 1202.
A serial interface 1203 facilitates communication with serial communication devices within an existing peripheral device. Thus, it is possible for the apparatus of Figure 12 to be included within existing peripheral devices, with a loom connector being physically attached to an external casing of the peripheral device and the circuit board 1111 retained within the casing of the peripheral device.
Figure 13 An example of a peripheral device that has been modified to include the apparatus described with reference to Figure 11 and Figure 12 is shown in Figure 13. A loom connector 1301 extends from a housing 1302 of the peripheral device, with the circuit board 1111 being retained internally.
The peripheral device shown in Figure 13 is configured to detect sound levels and generate an output signal if the level of an ambient sound exceeds a predetermined value. Other sensors may be included within a peripheral device, such as gas detectors and radiation detectors etc, with a similar approach being taken in that an output alarm signal is generated if the attribute being detected exceeds a predetermined level.
It is possible for peripheral devices to include their own local power supply and this local power supply may be recharged when the peripheral device is connected to the loom. In addition, it is possible for peripheral devices to continue to operate when disconnected from the loom by receiving power from their own local supply.
Figure 14 An example of operatives working within a hazardous environment is shown in Figure 14. An operative wears an item of clothing 1401 that includes an embedded loom with light emitting devices 1402. A control unit 1403 is mounted externally and the embedded loom allows communication between the control unit 1403 and the peripheral device 1404.
