Abstract

(57) [Summary] To make a switch of a portable transmitter provided with a switch for emergency communication stand out. An operation section of a switch for emergency communication is formed of a luminous synthetic resin, or a luminous paint is applied to a surface of the operation section to enhance visibility.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a portable transmitter such as a wristwatch transmitter having a push button for emergency communication.

[0002]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 Portable transmitters equipped with an emergency communication function have been put into practical use, and in addition to dedicated devices equipped with only this function, the function is often built into general portable equipment. An example of such a portable device is a wristwatch. Multifunctional wristwatches with many functions in addition to the time display function have already been put to practical use. Such a timepiece is provided with operation means such as a push button switch operated when activating each function, in addition to the crown operated when setting the time or the like. A guidance display showing the function is given around these push buttons so that they are not mistaken for other push buttons. Also, the color of the push button may be made different according to each function to enhance discrimination, or the push button itself may be displayed. In some cases, the user accidentally presses a push button that is different from the intended function. In such a case, the canceling operation can be performed according to a predetermined procedure.

In a portable transmitter such as a wristwatch transmitter equipped with a switch operated when transmitting an emergency contact signal, if the emergency contact switch is operated by mistake, the switch is immediately canceled. It is not an easy response such as simply performing an operation. Such switches should clearly indicate that they are special switches that should not be operated except in emergency situations, and should be able to operate properly in emergency situations, day or night. It must be prominent.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above problems, in the portable transmitter of the present invention, the operation unit of the switch for emergency communication employs a different color from the other operation units. The operation section is made luminous.

[0005]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the appearance of a wristwatch transmitter as a specific example of the portable transmitter of the present invention. A push button switch 2 for emergency operation is provided next to the crown 4 on the side of the main body case. When the push button switch 2 is pressed toward the center of the main body, the built-in transmitter is activated, and an emergency call signal is put on a radio wave and fired. This radio wave is received by a receiver (not shown) and an abnormal signal is transmitted.

[0006] Guides 5 are provided on the side of the push button switch 2 on the crown side and on the side opposite to the crown to prevent erroneous operation. Luminescent paint is applied to the side surface of the push button switch 2 (the surface facing in the same direction as the clock face). With such a configuration, even if an emergency occurs at night, the paint shines, so that the position of the push button switch can be immediately recognized, and prompt response can be made.

When the watch is taken out of bed and put on the pillow, the dial is usually placed so that the dial can be seen. Therefore, even at midnight when the light is turned off, the surface of the push button switch coated with the luminous paint is visible. it can. In FIG. 1, the luminous paint is applied linearly. However, as shown in FIG.

[0008] Since the luminous paint is a paint made by mixing a luminous pigment, an adhesive and the like, even if the wristwatch transmitter of the present invention is used for a long time, it may come off due to friction with a finger. Never. The push button switch 2 shall be colored differently from the other parts to clearly indicate that it is an emergency.

FIG. 3 is an external view showing another embodiment of the present invention. The push button switch 2 operated in an emergency is arranged below the display surface of the main body so that the operation surface of the switch is at the same height as the surroundings to prevent malfunction. A plurality of recesses 1 are provided on the operation surface of the push button switch, and a luminous paint is applied thereto. When the push button 2 is pressed, the built-in transmitter is activated, and an emergency call signal is put on the radio wave and fired. The operation surface of the push button switch may protrude from the display surface of the wristwatch, and a guide surrounding the operation surface may be provided to prevent erroneous operation. The present invention can be implemented by adopting a slide switch or another type of switch other than the push button switch to be operated in an emergency.

[0010] The luminous paint is a paint obtained by mixing a luminous pigment, an adhesive and the like. As the phosphorescent pigment, a zinc sulfide type pigment is well known, and has a property of absorbing and accumulating light such as sunlight and phosphor, and gradually releasing and emitting the light in a dark place. Since it does not contain radioactive or harmful substances, it can be exposed on the outer surface and has recently become widely used.

The luminous pigment can be used not only as a paint, but also as a luminous ink for printing, or can be kneaded into a synthetic resin, molded and used. The operation part of the switch itself can be made of a molded product as a luminous synthetic resin. Applying a transparent clear over the surface after applying the phosphorescent paint not only improves light resistance but also prevents contamination.

[0012]

[Effect of the invention]

 According to the present invention, since the operation part of the switch for emergency communication is formed using a luminous synthetic resin, or the luminous paint is applied, the visibility of the operation part at night is improved, and the operation is surely performed. You can now. In particular, it is effective for emergency communication during a power outage. Also, if a thug is attacked on a night road without a streetlight, the emergency contact switch can be immediately identified, so the operation can be performed reliably. The method of adding luminous properties to the switch operation section by applying a luminous paint can be applied to switches made of general materials, so that the effect can be exhibited without degrading the original performance of the switch be able to.
