Definitions

  • the present invention as reflected in the statement of this specification, refers to an apparatus that, while on the move, detects and locates any obstacle that the blind person encounters in its path, through the emission of acoustic tones, of so that if the obstacle is to the right of the blind, the device will emit a tone, if it is in the center or to the left, the tone that it emits will be different for each one, so that the blind visually relates sound to situation and acts accordingly avoiding the obstacle that at the time of sounding will always be three steps away.
  • the sounds can be perceived by the blind from their place of emission or through headphones.
  • the device that results from this invention has the appearance of a cane with wheels that in its front part and three centimeters from the ground has a head that leaves three rods directed to the right, left and center that when contacting with any obstacle triggers any of the three microswitches that are housed in said head.
  • the space that sweeps across the width is the equivalent of a person's body about sixty centimeters.
  • four drawings are attached to this report, two in perspective, one in elevation and one in profile.
  • Figures 1 and 2 show in a woman's perspective all the parts that constitute the apparatus.
  • Figures 3 and 4 show a plan view and in profile thereof.
  • the apparatus is formed by assembling the lower part of the cane (3) with the upper part of the tube (5) being as seen in Figures 3 and 4.
  • Figure 1 is formed by a tube as a hollow cane (3) in which a box (4) is attached where they are located: switch (10), power supply (11), electronic device ( 12), which emits the different acoustic tones, a speaker (13) and headphone jack (14).
  • Figure 2 composed of: A tube (5) in which the axle (7) of the wheels (2) is arranged and in its front part the head (1) is fixed, which houses three microswitches (8) inside and three rods (9) that activate them emitting the corresponding sounds.
  • the wiring extends from the microswitches (8) through the tube (5), the cane (3) to the box (4) through the holes (16) connecting the battery (11) the switch (10) the electronic device ( 12) the speaker (13) and the headphone jack (14).
  • a comb of splice cards numbered from one to seven is attached and the connections are as follows: 1 negative, 2 positive of one tone, 3 positive of another tone, 4 positive of another tone, 5 terminal of a breaker, 6 terminal of another breaker, 7 terminal of another breaker, the positive of the battery is connected to the free terminal of each breaker.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un appareil simple, se présentant sous la forme d'une canne pourvue de roues. Cet appareil, conçu pour les non-voyants, offre à ces derniers la garantie de ne pas trébucher, ce qui leur confère une grande liberté de déplacement, dans le sens où ils n'ont plus à supporter de poids quelconque, ni à faire des mouvements brusques en zigzag comme c'est généralement le cas à présent.
