The present invention relates to a time signal generating device and a time signal generating method for generating a time signal, and more particularly, to an apparatus and a method for providing a silent electric impulse time signal without acoustic interference.

Conventional time signal devices transmit signals to the user, either acoustically or visually, or both. A device for this purpose displays the correct time with a tick or similar sound that is regularly repeated so that the user can hear it, or with a visible time signature due to flickering light or shaking of the vibrator.

Both the auditory (acoustic) type of time signal and the visual (optical) type of time signal have the disadvantage that the user's efforts to match the beat according to the signal interfere with the user's mental concentration. For example, while playing, auditory beats can interfere with mental focus on pitch and rhythm, and visual beats can interfere with seeing music.

An important object of the present invention is to solve the disadvantages of the conventional time signal device as described above, and to provide a new method and apparatus for transmitting the time signal in a non-audible and non-visual way.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a time signal generator and a method for transmitting an electric impulse signal without noise and without noise.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a new and improved silent signal method and apparatus which can be carried and used by a user.

According to the present invention, a housing having an opening and a relatively soft deformation-movable pad which is fixed across the opening and the projection protrudes out of the housing to transmit a beat signal to the user, is fixed to the inner surface of the pad and therewith A movable disk-shaped member, an electromagnet that is in close proximity to the disk-shaped member and partially fixed to the housing to enable the disk-shaped member to rhythmically actuate the pad to transmit a beat signal to the user without acoustic interference, There is provided a silent beat signal generator comprising an electric device for generating pulses by operating the above devices and a device for selectively controlling pulse beats.

In addition, the present invention provides a method for generating a silent beat signal, which generates a silent controlled beat signal, converts the signal into a silent movement of the pad, and thereby imparts an impulse to the user. It is composed of the steps of transmitting so that the user can feel the impulse without sound interference and receive the rhythm guidance. The present invention is described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings as follows.

The time signature device 10 (FIGS. 1 and 2) embodying the apparatus and method of the present invention is of a size and shape that can be carried on the user's body. For this purpose the device 10 comprises a rectangular bottom body 11 and is molded or otherwise formed with suitable material, but in practice is preferably made of plastic material. The simply removable cover 12, formed of a suitable thin plastic material, has a bead portion 14 protruding inwardly into the bottom of the rim flange 13, the bead portion 14. ) Is detachably coupled to the coupling groove 17 formed in the bottom (11). In the housing space 18 formed by the combination of the bottom 11 and the cover 12, there is provided a means related to the conversion of mechanical energy and electrical energy to generate a beat signal impulse that is silent but can be physically detected without acoustic interference. This means comprises a pair of electromagnets 19, which are paired to cooperate in a balanced manner, installed in the bosses 20 spaced at regular intervals at opposite locations in diameter. The bosses 20 are integrally formed in the thick section 22 of the bottom 11 and properly arranged to face the cavities 21 in the thick section 22 and form openings towards the housing space 18. .

The arrangement of the electromagnet 19 and their relationship, when the electromagnet is excited, causes the arm 23 of the impulse disc like member to work cooperatively and normally spaced apart, the disc like member being a magnetic material, That is, it comprises a soft iron disk-like member 24, from which the arm 23 branches from the edge position of the disk-shaped member 24 opposite to each other in diameter and protrudes inward at a relative position while forming a normal line. It is operated by each electromagnet 19. The disc-shaped member 24 is supported by a pad 25 having a surface facing inward as possible and relatively soft and having a good soundproofing effect, and the arm 23 is the edge of the inner circumferential surface of the disc-shaped member 24. Protrudes from A suitable soft rubber or elastic material such as rubber may also be used as the pad 25. The pad 25 is arranged on the outer surface thereof, the projections 27 of the surface that can feel the touch as possible. The pad 25 has a means for fixing them to the bottom 11 around it. This means consists of a fastening flange 28 continuously running around the periphery, which is firmly pressed against the annular conical frustum-shaped shoulder, the shoulder 29 being formed in the thicker zone 22 and opening outwardly into the cavity ( 21 and in the concave, annular groove cavity 30 that is improved outwardly. The clamping ring nut 31 is adapted to be threadedly engaged with the bottom 11 by means of a screw 32 in the annular cavity 30, so that its complementary conical clamping to the flange 28 of the pad 25. Together with the surface 33 the flange is firmly clamped against the clamping shoulder 29.

The pulsing operation of the electromagnet 19 is carried out by electrical means (first, second and fourth degrees) consisting of the electrical circuit 34, the components of which are mounted on the cover 12 by a thin mounting panel 37. It is installed on the circuit board 35 which is installed inside the roof surface of the. Means such as pulsed transistor or diode 38 and capacitor 38a are electrically connected to a power source such as electromagnet 19 and battery. The electric switch 40 for on / off for the electric circuit has suitable application means conveniently installed in the cover 12. The variable resistor 41, which controls the pulse frequency or time signature in the circuit 34, is formed by a knob 42 located on the cover 12. 44 and the indicator 43 are provided preferably. With this arrangement, when the electric circuit 34 is closed, the electromagnet 19 is excited or elementized at a frequency determined by the composition of the time control device 41. Each time the electromagnet 19 is excited in each cycle, the arm 23 of the disc-shaped member is attracted to the electromagnet, but the elasticity of the pad 25 prevents contact with the electromagnet, and returns to the element of the electromagnet. This causes the disk-shaped member 24 to be pressed against the pad 25 to the outside, and at the same time slightly rotates counterclockwise as shown in FIG. 1, and then is returned by the force of the elastic action of the pad 25. . At this time, the protrusions 27 push the fat (second degree) (S) of the user in contact with the surface of the pad to impart an impulse. As a result, the user may feel the impulse through the skin and receive a time signature. The double-headed arrow 47 in FIG. 1 shows the oscillation period of the disk-shaped member 24 when it is alternately acted on by the electromagnet 19 in the period of pulse and release. Both arrows in FIG. 2 indicate the impulse and release period of the axis of the disc-shaped member 24. As a result, the user feels a distinct double, twisting and pushing sensation for each impulse. This is particularly effective when the user wears clothes so that the clothes are between the device 10 and the skin.

For the convenience of use, the time signature device 10 may be sized to be placed in the pocket of the garment so that the impulse transfer pad 25 is adjacent to the user's body. Preferably, the time signature device 10 may be fixed to the user's arm or leg or other convenient part of the body so that the fixing strap or band 48 is appropriately provided at both ends of the bottom 11 of the stationary 10. It may be attached to a fixed piece 49, which is positioned and integrally configured.

A device may be provided for connecting a plurality of time signal devices together in order to provide time measurement guidance to a plurality of people at the same time. To this end, the time signal device 10, as shown in Figure 4, may be provided with one or more jacks 50 connected to the electric circuit 34 in parallel with the electromagnet 19. In this arrangement, the additional time signature devices can be configured as part of the device 10 and operate in a dependent relationship, thus providing a disc-shaped member having an electromagnet 19, a pad 25 and an arm 23. 24 only, the electromagnets 19 of the dependent time signature device are connected in parallel with the fully equipped time signature device 10.

The batteries of the slave time signal device 53 are arranged as shown in FIG. 4 to deliver time impulses simultaneously to a plurality of people. All time signal devices 53 are connected in a subordinate relationship to a controller 54 common to all time signal devices 53. Each slave beat signal device, which is thin and flexible, is connected to the controller 54 by means of a conductor wire 55, which may be made by a direct connection or a plug method and other equivalent means. The control box uses the circuit 34 ′ of FIG. 5 as in the apparatus 10 of FIG. 1, but may be equipped with a beat impulse signaling means, with increased capacity to accommodate a plurality of slave devices 53. . The power for the extra capacity can be supplied by the adapter from an appropriate power source as indicated by 57.

The controller 54 may be provided with an on / off switch 58 and a time controller 59. In addition, the conductor 54, the conductor conducting rod 60 consisting of a handle portion 61 is connected to the controller 54, the handle portion 61 is configured to ignore or bypass the beat impulse generation circuit 34 'of the time controller 59 A digital switch 62 is provided as a passive manual beat impulse generator. The thin wire causes the flexible lead 63 to connect the conducting rod of the circuit to the time controller 59. Obviously, the arrangement of FIG. 3 would allow the conductor to rhythm the plural players of the orchestra.

Referring to FIG. 5, a circuit arrangement, in particular relating to the third diagram, is depicted, which includes a manual time pulse generator, giving the user a choice of multiple time signatures. In this respect, a corresponding number of time signal devices as desired can be selectively connected to the time signal generation circuit 34 'which functions substantially the same as the circuit 34 shown in FIG. Power is supplied by a power source, such as battery 39 ', and may be supplied by an adapter 57 that connects to a suitable external power source when extra capacity is required. When the time controller 59 is set to a predetermined time signature and the switch 58 is "on", the electric circuit 34 'is energized to perform a time pulse pulsing action at the time rate indicated on the time controller 59. . The relay switch 64 is a silent switch, which " on " the switch, and simultaneously supplies the simultaneous power supply 39 '(or 57) to the solenoid 19' of the various speed controllers 53 'and operates them simultaneously. . In this way, all the slave devices 53 are actuated through these slave devices in order to deliver certain constant beat pulses.

If the conductor becomes slow or fast and encounters a sudden change in music, the conductor can open the switch 58 and manually control the beat through the slave 53. In this manner, the conductor can be operated by tapping the normally open pulsing switch key 62 of his baton. As shown in the figure, the manual switch 62 is connected to the pulsing circuit 65 so that every slave signal device 53 'is activated every time the switch 62 is "on".

Although the mechanically timed, manually pulsed, or silent time signature map allows the conductor to use the rod more freely to bear the meaning of musical expression, the conductor does not tap the switch key 62, but in the usual manner Can be used. If the time leader is well-timed, the conductor must have one of the signaling devices 53 to detect the beat himself. The controller 54 should, of course, be located close to the conductor during use so that he can easily operate it. If the music activity is not limited to a fixed place, the radio wave or radio control, which can be easily provided according to the current state of the art, is refined so as to transmit a beat signal from the controller 54 to the signal device 53. There may be this.
