BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wallet with a security device which is stored in a pocket of clothes such as a suit in a state of being piled up in plural (folded into two or three).

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional wallet with a security alarm device, there is known a wallet having a light detecting element and a melody IC built-in, and when it is taken out from a pocket of clothes, an alarm sound or a melody sounds with a loud beeping sound. Has been.

[0003]

However, the conventional wallet with the security alarm device has a drawback that it is troublesome and lacks in practicality because a large alarm sound is emitted even when the user removes the wallet from the pocket of his clothes.

In addition, there is also a drawback that malfunction occurs when light enters the pocket from one direction for some time.

Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a wallet with a security alarm device that is practical and does not malfunction.

The present invention comprises a cover, a first light detecting means, and a second light detecting means.
It comprises a light detecting means, a third light detecting means, an alarm generating means, a switch means, an alarm delaying means and a control means.

Here, the cover can be opened and closed so that it can be folded up and down, and the first light detecting means and the second light detecting means are arranged on the outer first and second surfaces of the cover in a folded state. Each is installed. The third light detecting means is attached inside the cover in a folded state. Further, the alarm generation means generates an alarm such as a buzzer sound, an electronic bowl, and a melody, the switch means is attached to the upper inside of the cover in a folded state, and the alarm delay means is in the ON state of the switch means. Occasionally, the operation of the alarm generating means is delayed by a fixed time. Further, the control means activates the alarm generation means when the first light detection means and the second light detection means simultaneously detect light for a predetermined time, and the alarm delay means delays the operation of the alarm generation means within a certain time. When the third light detecting means detects the light, the operation of the alarm means is stopped, and further, the first light detecting means and the second light detecting means are stopped within a fixed time after the third light detecting means stops detecting the light.
When the light detecting means stops detecting light, the alarm means is deactivated.

[0008]

When the wallet is not in use, the wallet is piled up in plurals (folded in two or in three), and is stored in a dark place such as a pocket in a state in which a storage unit for bills, cards and the like is folded. When it is in use, it is taken out in a folded state from a pocket or the like, the storage section is opened, and bills, cards, etc. are taken out.

Therefore, when not in use, the outer surface of the wallet is not exposed to light, and when in use, the outer surface and the inner surface of the wallet are exposed to light.

First, the wallet of the present invention has a pair of light detecting means for detecting the above-mentioned state, and has alarm generating means and control means for generating an alarm according to the detected state of the light detecting means. There are light detection means, switch means and alarm delay means to allow the use of the.

The first and second light detecting means detect the state in which the purse is taken out by detecting light at the same time.
The third light detecting means detects the state in which the wallet is open by detecting the light. The control means actuates the alarm generating means so that an alarm sounds when the first and second light detecting means detect light.

However, this alarm system is designed not to operate under certain conditions. For example, the control means stops the operation of the alarm means when the switch means is operating, or when the third light detecting means detects light within a certain period of time when the alarm delaying means delays the operation of the alarm generating means. Let Further, the control means resets the operation of the alarm means when the first light detecting means and the second light detecting means stop detecting light within a fixed time after the third light detecting means stops detecting light.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A wallet with a security alarm device according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the description, the same elements will be denoted by the same reference symbols, without redundant description.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an inner side of a bi-fold wallet according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the bi-fold wallet opened and its outer side, and FIG. It is the side view which looked at from the outer side by closing a two-fold wallet.

First, in order to facilitate understanding of the present invention,
The features of the wallet according to the present invention will be described.

First, when the owner of the purse takes out the purse from the pocket or the like, if the alarm is released only once, the next natural action (the action of taking out the purse from the pocket, the action of opening the purse, The alarm is canceled while the operation of taking out the contents such as money and cards, the operation of closing the wallet and the operation of putting the wallet in the pocket) are completed. Second
In addition, the wallet is stored in a pocket or the like, and automatically returns to the alert state after a certain set time has elapsed. Third, while the wallet is stored in a pocket or the like, an alarm does not occur even if light enters the pocket for some reason, but an alarm is issued when a wallet is pulled out from the pocket or the like by a third party. appear. Fourth, the alarm will automatically stop after the set time.

In order to realize the above-mentioned characteristics, a wallet according to an embodiment of the present invention is a wallet body (cover) 1 that can be folded in two, a push button switch (switch means) 2 for releasing an alarm, and a light detection. Elements (light detecting means) 3, 4A, 4B,
A piezoelectric buzzer (alarm generating means) 6 and an electric circuit board (control means and alarm delay means) 7 are included.

Although not shown in the figure, the wallet body 1 is formed with a storage unit for storing bills and cards, and the above-mentioned components are incorporated in a place where the storage function of the storage unit is not hindered. For example, inside the wallet, the push button switch 2 is arranged in the upper center, and the light detecting element 3 is arranged in the center, and they are connected to each other by the connection 8 arranged along the bending line (see FIG. 1). Further, on the outside of the wallet, a pair of light detecting elements 4A, 4B, a battery 5, a piezoelectric buzzer 6 and an electric circuit board 7 are arranged at the lower portions of both sides of the wallet main body, and wiring 9, 10
Connected by. The electric circuit board 7 has a logic circuit,
It incorporates a delay timer circuit, monostable multi-circuit and alarm oscillator circuit.

Here, the light detecting surfaces of the light detecting elements 3, 4A and 4B are exposed, and light from the outside can be directly detected. However, the battery 5, the piezoelectric buzzer 6 and the electric circuit board 7 are the main body of the wallet. It is built into the wallet 1 so that it will not easily fall off the wallet body 1.

Next, a circuit configuration incorporated in the above-mentioned electric circuit board will be described. It is configured to include a sampling detection circuit A, an alarm cancellation and cancellation holding circuit B, and an alarm circuit C.

The sampling detection circuit A has a sampling detection function, a malfunction prevention function, and an alarm automatic stop function, and has an AND circuit 1, a delay timer circuit 1 and a monostable multi-circuit connected to the pair of photodetection elements 4A and 4B. It is configured with. The alarm release and release hold circuit B has an alarm release function, a release hold function, a release confirmation function, and an automatic warning state return function, and an OR circuit 1 connected to the push button switch 2 and the light detection element 3 and a delay timer circuit. 2 is provided. The alarm circuit C has an alarm generation function and is configured to include an alarm sound oscillation circuit connected to the piezoelectric buzzer 6.

Extraction detection function and alarm generation function When the purse is stored in a pocket or the like, the light detection element 4
A and 4B are placed at the bottom of a pocket or the like (relatively less likely to be affected by outside light), shielded from outside light, and are not sensing light. In the unlikely event that the wallet is pulled out by another person, the photodetecting elements 4A and 4B simultaneously sense external light, and a logic level 1 appears at the output of the AND circuit 1. If this output continuously exists for the delay time (for example, 1 second) set by the delay timer circuit 1, it is determined that the wallet has been pulled out by another person. Then, the monostable multi-circuit is triggered once, and the output of the circuit becomes the logic level 1. Assuming that the alarm release and release hold circuit B is not operating, the output of the delay timer circuit 2 is at logic level 1. Therefore, AND circuit 2
Since a logic level 1 is input to both, the logic level 1 is output, and the alarm sound oscillation circuit is driven through the OR circuit 2. As a result, the piezoelectric buzzer 6 issues a beeping intermittent sound alarm.

Malfunction Prevention Function Incidentally, even if the wallet is stored in the pocket, outside light may enter the pocket under the following conditions. A) When inserting your hand in your pocket to remove your wallet. B) When the owner of the wallet flies, bounces or runs away with the wallet in his pocket. C) When the clothes are thin and light is relatively easy to pass through.

In order to prevent the alarm from being issued under the above circumstances,
In this embodiment, two measures are taken. First, the light detection elements 4A and 4B that detect outside light are attached to the bottom of the wallet. Located at the bottom of the pocket when stored in the pocket. Therefore, the light from the outside does not reach the light detection elements 4A and 4B.

Second, in the unlikely event that light is detected by the light detecting elements 4A, 4
Even if B is reached for a moment, the alarm circuit does not operate. Since the delay timer circuit 1 is provided, the light is detected by the light detecting element 4
This is because the alarm circuit will not operate unless A and 4B are reached at the same time and the state is not maintained for a certain set time (for example, about 1 second) at the same time.

Alarm automatic stop function Here, since the delay timer circuit 1 and the monostable multi-circuit are used, when the delay timer circuit 1 is electrically triggered, after a certain set time (for example, 30 seconds) elapses, the automatic stop function is performed. The alarm stops. Therefore, even if an alarm is issued due to a malfunction, the alarm can be prevented from continuously ringing until the battery is exhausted.

Alarm release function When the push button switch 2 is pressed by pinching the section A with a finger, a signal corresponding to the logic level 1 is output during that time. Therefore, the delay timer circuit 2 operates, and the output of the circuit becomes the logic level 0 only for the time set in the circuit (for example, one minute). As a result, the sampling detection circuit A
Is activated and AND circuit 2 logic level 1 is input, AN
The output of the D circuit 2 becomes a logic level 0, and the alarm circuit C is not driven through the OR circuit 2. Therefore, when the owner of the purse takes out the purse from the pocket, the alarm can be released by simply pressing the push button switch 2.

Alarm release confirmation function The connection between the push button switch 2 and the OR circuit 1 is branched and directly connected to the OR circuit 2. When the push button switch 2 is pressed, the alarm circuit C is activated through the OR circuit 2. It is supposed to do. Due to this branch connection, while the push button switch 2 is being pressed, the above-described intermittent alarm sound is emitted and the alarm canceling operation can be confirmed. Therefore, when the owner of the purse takes out the purse from his pocket, he is not worried about judging whether or not the alarm is actually released only by the feel of his fingertip. It is possible to confirm by sound that the alarm has been canceled.

Alarm release holding function When the owner of the wallet opens the wallet after taking out the wallet from the pocket, the photodetector 3 senses external light, so that the logic level 1 is input to the OR circuit 1. Therefore, the delay timer circuit 2 is activated again, and the alarm circuit C described above is maintained in a non-driven state until the wallet is closed and the time set by the delay timer circuit 2 elapses.

Automatic warning state return function After the alarm release operation described above, when the wallet is closed and stored in the pocket again, the light detecting elements 4A and 4B stop detecting light, so the time set by the delay timer circuit 2 ( After elapse of, for example, 1 minute, one of the AND circuits 2 always returns to the state where the logic level 1 is input, that is, the alert state.

As described above, according to this embodiment, when the wallet is carried by the owner from the pocket of the clothes, or when the clothes are taken off and hung on the clothes hanging, the hook, etc., the wallet can be used without permission. The so-called pickpocket damage when the wallet is pulled out,
Alternatively, it is possible to prevent theft damage caused by being carried away on a desk or in a drawer, and to prevent loss due to an unintended lost article.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, but various modifications can be made. For example, although the above-mentioned embodiment describes a bi-fold type wallet, the present invention can be applied to other types of wallets (for example, tri-fold type) in which the cover of the wallet is folded. Further, a thin (thickness of 1 mm or less) conductive film type switch or the like can be used as the switch means, and the delay timer circuit 2 of the alarm delay means 2 can be used.
A monostable multi-circuit or a bistable multi-circuit can be used as.
