Description

The utility model relates to tools that increase human safety in conditions of poor visibility, allowing you to control the movement of a person in these conditions, as well as facilitating the search for a person in an emergency or in a disaster.

The luminous detection means is known from the prior art (patent for utility model RU 39256, published July 27, 2004 Bull. No. 21), which contains a base on which at least one light element is installed and connected in such a way that they all either flash or burn constantly, or at least one light element blinks or burns continuously, and the others respectively burn at least one light element or blink, or at least one light element blinks or burns, as well as an autonomous power supply and a switch. The disadvantage of this device is that the device is stand-alone.

The closest in technical essence is work clothes with a wearable individual signaling device (published as RU 52377 03/27/2006 Bull. No. 9), which contains means for the fixed placement of elements of the signaling device on one or different parts of the clothing, and the elements of the signaling device include: warning equipment from, at least two light-emitting elements, a power source, a control unit, a loop connecting said signaling elements. The clothes are equipped with a removable module designed to accommodate at least a part of the signaling device elements, the clothes and the removable module having means for releasably connecting the latter to the clothes, and the holes are made in the clothes with machined edges to allow the signaling cable to pass on one side of the clothing to another, the number of which in clothes is not less than the number of light-emitting elements. The disadvantage of this technical solution is the inconvenience of use in emergency situations.

The technical problem, which the utility model is aimed at, is to increase human safety in conditions of poor visibility, which allows controlling the movement of a person in these conditions, as well as facilitating the search for a person in an emergency or in a disaster.

The problem is solved in that clothes with signal light-emitting elements, comprising means for fixedly placing light-emitting elements on one or different parts of the clothes, a power source, a control unit, wires connecting the aforementioned elements of the device, holes are made in the clothes for passing light-emitting signaling elements, a control unit It is made with the possibility of providing operation in the dynamic indication mode, the power button and the device switch is located in the collar. The clothes are made in the shape of a jacket. Light-emitting elements are located on the back, on the chest, on the left shoulder and on the right shoulder. The control unit and power supply are located in a single housing. The control unit and power supply are located in the inner pocket of the clothes. The pocket is located on the left side just below the collarbone.

The technical result provided by the given set of features is to increase the level of human safety, including also ease of use.

The device is intended for use directly in workwear. Appointment of the device: indicate the location of the person (employee) by means of signal lights located around the perimeter of the jacket (work clothes).

The essence of the utility model is illustrated by drawings, which depict:

figure 1 - arrangement of the device on clothes,

figure 2 - electrical connection diagram,

figure 3 - arrangement of light elements on clothes,

 Where

1 - power supply

2 - control unit

3 - on / off and switch button

4 - light emitting elements

5 - connecting wires

6 - terminal connector (block).

The device consists of a power supply unit (power source) 1 from three batteries (AAA battery) located in a plastic case, a control unit 2 with built-in backlight modes, a button 3 on / off and switch backlight modes, light-emitting elements 4, connecting wires 5 and terminal connectors (pads) 6.

The control unit 2 provides the operation of the light-emitting elements 4 in the dynamic indication mode.

The control unit 2 and the power supply 1 are located in a single housing and are located in an inner pocket made to the size of the unit, on the left side just below the collarbone. This place is the safest, and where there is the least risk of damage to the unit.

The control unit is a microprocessor programmed with the ability to provide a choice of frequency and duration of inclusion of light-emitting elements in accordance with a given scenario and in a given sequence.

The program embedded in the control unit allows by pressing the button 3 to switch the backlight mode to:

- bright light mode,

- dim light mode,

- flicker mode (strobe effect).

The flicker mode (strobe effect) is intended as the SOS signal supply mode (or urgent help is needed), that is, it is used only in case of emergency.

The microprocessor has a number of external ports no less than the number of connected means for issuing an alert signal.

Button 3 is a button to turn on and switch the backlight.

Button 3 is located in the collar of the jacket. The location of the button for switching the backlight modes in the collar of the jacket provides the most affordable switch to SOS mode (or urgent help is needed), as if the employee is not able to switch the mode with his hands, he will be able to press the button with his head or any part of his face, in extreme cases, with his tongue or teeth.

As light-emitting elements 4 are mainly used LED elements. Figure 3 shows the arrangement of light emitting elements. The preferred number of light-emitting elements is four, the first is located on the chest on the left, the second on the back, the third on the left shoulder, the fourth on the right shoulder. LED elements are fixed in plexiglass tablets (polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) - a synthetic methyl methacrylate polymer) of approximately 4.5x450x450 mm.

The power supply, control unit and light-emitting elements are connected using connecting wires 5. Two connecting wires 5 ("+" and "-") passing from control unit 2 go into terminal connector 6, on the other hand, four connecting wires are inserted into each cell wires 5 ("+" and "-"), which are connected in pairs on each LED. A terminal is used on plastic pads, equipped with an even metal clip. In the clamping surface there is a recess for the wire, so that there is no pressure on the core from the screw. Therefore, such terminals are suitable to connect any wires in them. In the presented model, two cells are used. The cells are small and do not cause discomfort.

The device operates as follows.

The user presses a button located on the collar. The following modes are used:

- bright light mode,

- dim light mode,

- flicker mode (strobe effect).

Modes are switched strictly in order of priority. The first time you press the button, the backlight mode is turned on, the second time you press the mode, it turns off. And so on in turn. The sequence program makes it easy to control the backlight modes.

The LED element with soldered wires is mounted in a Plexiglas tablet using a clamping bar and two bolts. Such a mount allows you to completely remove the entire device, for example, in order to wash overalls. Plexiglass tablets are sewn directly into the jacket to prevent bias and protect the LED element. The wiring is positioned so that each pair of wires with an LED passes through the internally sewn loops located in the corresponding direction. The wires are located in the upper part of the shoulder girdle very ergonomically, do not constrain movements. Inside are closed by an additional lining.

Clothing with signal light-emitting elements allows you to indicate the location of a person (employee) by means of signal lights located around the perimeter of the jacket (work clothes), thereby ensuring its safety, and also indicate the location of a person behind any obstacles, for example, behind any structures, behind snow or smoke curtains , fog, etc., while the location of the on / switch button in the collar allows you to turn on the device even in the absence of the possibility of turning on by hand.
