Fig. 1 eine schematische Darstellung einer erfindungsgemäßen Drückvorrichtung nach einer ersten Variante,1 is a schematic representation of a pressing device according to the invention according to a first variant,
Fig. 2 eine schematische Darstellung einer erfindungsgemä- ßen Drückvorrichtung nach einer zweiten Variante, undFIG. 2 shows a schematic representation of a pressing device according to the invention according to a second variant, and FIG
Fig. 3 eine schematische Darstellung einer erfindungsgemäßen Drückvorrichtung nach einer dritten Variante. Die in den Figuren gleichen Bezugsziffern bezeichnen gleiche oder gleich wirkende Elemente.Fig. 3 is a schematic representation of a pressing device according to the invention according to a third variant. The same reference numerals in the figures designate the same or equivalent elements.
Fig. 1 zeigt eine Drückvorrichtung 1 mit einem Griff 3 mit zwei handgriffförmigen Drückelementen 31 und 32 mit Fingerrillen 34, die wie bei einem Handexpander über eine mechanische Spiralfeder 35 miteinander verbunden sind.Fig. 1 shows a pressing device 1 with a handle 3 with two handle-shaped pressing elements 31 and 32 with finger grooves 34, which are connected to each other via a mechanical spiral spring 35 as in a hand expander.
Zwischen beiden Drückelementen befindet sich ein Potentiome- ter 41 als Sensorik 4, das in Abhängigkeit vom Abstand zwischen den Drückelementen die Stromstärke für einen mit selbigem über ein Verbindungskabel 5 verbundenen Lautstärkeregler an einem MP3-Player 21 mit Ohrhörer 22 einstellt, und ein Batteriefach 23 zur Energieversorgung.Between the two pressing elements there is a potentiometer 41 as a sensor 4, which adjusts the current intensity for a volume control connected to the same via a connecting cable 5 to an MP3 player 21 with earphone 22 as a function of the distance between the pressing elements, and a battery compartment 23 for Power supply.
Je stärker die Drückelemente 31 und 32 von der umschließenden Hand durch manuelle Kraft zusammengedrückt werden, desto größer ist die auf den Lautstärkeregler des MP3-Players 21 wirkende Stromstärke. Auf diese Weise wird die Lautstärke eines vom MP3-Player wiedergegebenen Musikstücks durch Zusammendrücken der Drückelemente erhöht und durch Nachlassen der Drückkraft erniedrigt.The stronger the pressing elements 31 and 32 are compressed by the enclosing hand by manual force, the greater the current acting on the volume control of the MP3 player 21 amperage. In this way, the volume of a piece of music reproduced by the MP3 player is increased by squeezing the pressing members and lowered by decreasing the pressing force.
In Fig. 2 ist eine Variante gezeigt, bei der der Griff 3 der Drückvorrichtung 1 zylindrische Form hat, mit Fingerrillen 34 an der Außenwand, wodurch dieser von einer Hand umgriffen werden kann.In Fig. 2, a variant is shown, in which the handle 3 of the pressing device 1 has a cylindrical shape, with finger grooves 34 on the outer wall, whereby it can be grasped by a hand.
Die Sensorik innerhalb des Griffs 3 weist ein piezoelektri- sches Drückelement 33 auf, das in Abhängigkeit des Drucks der zusammendrückenden Hand die Stromstärke über einen Verstärker 42 steuert. Em Batteriefach 43 mit Batterien dient der Energieversorgung .The sensor within the handle 3 has a piezoelectric push element 33 which, depending on the pressure of the squeezing hand, the current through an amplifier 42 controls. Em battery compartment 43 with batteries is the power supply.
Je hoher der Druck desto hoher ist die Stromstarke. Der Ver- starker 42 ist über ein Verbmdungskabel 5 mit dem Lautstarkeregler eines MP3-Players 21 mit Ohrhörern 22 als Abspielvorrichtung 2 verbunden.The higher the pressure, the higher the current strength. The amplifier 42 is connected via a Verbmdungskabel 5 with the volume control of an MP3 player 21 with earphones 22 as a playback device 2.
Im Beispiel ist der MP3-Player in einem Mobiltelefon 6 ausge- bildet.In the example, the MP3 player is embodied in a mobile telephone 6.
Je starker das piezoelektrische Druckelement 33 von einer umschließenden Hand gedruckt wird, desto lauter wird die Musikwiedergabe des MP3-Players. Bei Nachlassen des Drucks wird die Musik leiser.The stronger the piezoelectric pressure element 33 is printed by an enclosing hand, the louder the music playback of the MP3 player. When you release the pressure, the music becomes quieter.
Zusatzlich befindet sich in der Druckvorrichtung 1 eine weitere Abspielvorrichtung in Form eines Tongenerators 24 mit Lautstarkeregler 25 und Lautsprecher 26. Die Lautstarke des vom Tongenerator bewirkten Signaltons wird ebenfalls durch das Drucken des piezoelektrischen Druckelements 33 und den Verstarker 42 beeinflusst.In addition, in the printing device 1 is a further playback device in the form of a tone generator 24 with volume control 25 and speaker 26. The volume of the tone generated by the tone generator is also influenced by the printing of the piezoelectric pressure element 33 and the amplifier 42.
Je starker das Druckelement von der umgreifenden Hand ge- druckt wird, desto lauter ist der vom Tongenerator 24 hervorgerufene und vom Lautsprecher 26 wiedergegebene Signalton. Die Lautstarke des Tons kann zum Beispiel wahrend einer schmerzhaften zahnarztlichen Behandlung dazu dienen, durch den Patienten dem Behandler die Intensität des gerade empfun- denen Schmerzes anzuzeigen. Beide Funktionen in Fig. 2, Lautstärkeregelung des MP3- Players und Lautstärkeregelung des Tongenerators, können zusammen oder getrennt voneinander genutzt werden.The more strongly the printing element is printed by the encompassing hand, the louder the signal tone produced by the tone generator 24 and reproduced by the loudspeaker 26. For example, during a painful dental treatment, the volume of the sound may serve to indicate to the practitioner the intensity of the pain just perceived by the patient. Both functions in Fig. 2, volume control of the MP3 player and volume control of the tone generator can be used together or separately.
Fig. 3 zeigt ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel, bei dem ein MP3-Player 21 mit Ohrhörer 22 als Abspielvorrichtung 2 über eine elektrische Steckverbindung 27 an zwei über eine Feder 36 miteinander verbundenen und den MP3-Player in Form eines Gehäuses umschließenden Drückelementen 31 und 32 mit Finger- rillen 34 und Batteriefach befestigt ist.Fig. 3 shows a further embodiment in which an MP3 player 21 with earphone 22 as a playback device 2 via an electrical connector 27 to two interconnected via a spring 36 and the MP3 player in the form of a housing enclosing pressing elements 31 and 32 with fingers - grooves 34 and battery compartment is attached.
Die Lautstärke wird über ein Potentiometer 41 als Sensorik 4 und einen Lautstärkeregler in Abhängigkeit vom Abstand zwischen beiden Drückelementen eingestellt und durch den Benut- zer reguliert.The volume is adjusted via a potentiometer 41 as sensor 4 and a volume control as a function of the distance between the two pressing elements and regulated by the user.
Bei Bedarf kann der MP3-Player 21 von der Steckverbindung 27 abgezogen und einzeln benutzt werden. Im Gehäuse der Drückvorrichtung 1 befindet sich ein Tongenerator mit einem vom Potentiometer 41 gesteuerten Lautstärkeregler, einem Einschaltknopf 28 und einem Lautsprecher 26. If necessary, the MP3 player 21 can be removed from the connector 27 and used individually. In the housing of the pressing device 1 is a tone generator with a volume controlled by the potentiometer 41 volume control, a power button 28 and a speaker 26th
