Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for the defense of animals, comprising a control unit, as well as a loudspeaker and a trigger, wherein the control unit with a data storage on which an ultrasound sound file is held, data-connected and ertricht is to an actuation of the Trigger to load the ultrasonic sound file from the data memory and output via the loudspeaker.
- the human ear perceives frequencies in the range of approx. 16 Hz to approx. 16 kHz, so that an audible range arises between the mentioned frequencies. Outside this range, vibrations are inaudible to the human ear. However, this does not apply to perceptible frequencies, but rather different animals are able to perceive other frequency ranges with their ears.
- a well-known example is the dogs, which can detect a frequency range above the frequencies perceptible by the human ear.
- This so-called ultrasound range is therefore also used, for example, for the so-called dog whistles, which emit sounds in the ultrasonic range and are therefore suitable to summon a dog, for example, without disturbing the people in the area by the shrill sound of a whistle.
- the audible range of animals is limited on four sides, thus from the left, ie a lowest audible frequency, and from the right by a highest audible frequency.
- an upper and a lower limit which is not in Frequencies, but measured in intensities, so that there is a lower threshold for quiet sounds and an upper absorbschwelIe for very loud sounds.
- the so-called discomfort threshold in an area where the volume begins to feel uncomfortable. It is therefore known to use for the defense of animals, especially dogs, sound waves in the ultrasonic range, especially there in the area of discomfort threshold to drive the animals.
- Such behavior is, for example, appropriate when, for example, a postman wants to bring himself to safety in front of the dog defending his territory after he has entered a property guarded by the dog.
- Another example is a runner who meets a non-leashed dog in the forest and sees himself threatened by it.
- the object of the invention is therefore to provide a device for the defense against animals, which functions with simple means and is tangible to the user in every situation.
- such a device for repelling animals comprises a control unit, which is provided with a loudspeaker connected is.
- the control unit can emit an ultrasonic signal, which is set in an uncomfortable listening area for the animal.
- the control unit should not be audible to humans or, ideally, at least barely audible. In any case, it should not have the same effect on humans as on the animal.
- Ultrasonic waves in the frequency range from 8,000 to 25,000 Hz are particularly suitable for this purpose.
- the control unit is also connected to a trigger via which the wearer of such a device can trigger the output of the ultrasound signal in a simple manner by actuating the trigger.
- the ultrasound signal itself is reserved as a sound file in a data memory, which is data-connected to the control unit.
- the control unit will first read the ultrasonic sound file from the data memory, and then output this via the speaker. This can be done either as long as the shutter button is pressed, or when the shutter button is used as the on / off switch, until the shutter button is pressed a second time.
- the data memory is associated with an audio device, in particular an mp3 player, which are often used by joggers or letter carriers for entertainment while running.
- an audio device in particular an mp3 player
- the control unit will only load one of the sound files stored on the mp3 player, in this case the ultrasound sound file labeled with a corresponding name, and output this via the device, in particular the loudspeaker.
- the device holding means for attaching the same to garments, limbs, about as well as tools, bicycles, etc. assigned which may be formed, for example, as a Velcro or as a clasp.
- a jogger to fasten the device in the region of his shoe, on a leg, an arm or another suitable place, which he can easily reach by hand.
- the user to place the trigger in an easily accessible area so that he can access it at any time.
- the trigger as a separate part of the device, such as a handset, which is held by the user anyway in the hand, so that it is always available. It is also possible, for example, to attach the speaker to one leg, while the handset, for example, at chest level.
- control unit can be connected to the data memory, ie in the end with the audio device, via any suitable data connection, for example also via a headset switch or another interface provided on the audio device.
- any suitable data connection for example also via a headset switch or another interface provided on the audio device.
- the audio device is capable of being used in parallel with the provision of the ultrasound Soundfiles also a conventional sound file to play, so continue to maintain its operation in the event of retrieving an ultrasonic sound file.
- the user-owned program is not disturbed by playing the ultrasonic sound file.
- a second embodiment which is connected to a car radio, in which in turn a corresponding ultrasound sound file is stored.
- such a device could also be used for marten defense by emitting a marten unpleasant noise through the speaker, while the device according to the invention is arranged in an automobile. Trigger for this configuration could be the closing of the vehicle, after which this is left.
- the data connection between the control unit and the data memory can basically be realized in any known manner, for example via the known USB connection.
- a power supply via the data connection is not is required, for example, a system such as Bluetooth can be used. Due to the fact that in the case of wired systems, a supply voltage is usually present anyway, as already mentioned with regard to the USB connection, a corresponding device can thus do without its own power supply.
- the device has additional means for selecting a sound file, so that the device can also be used in various defense situations. For example, by selecting a suitable ultrasound sound file, the device can be adapted to specific animals.
- Fig. 1 shows a device according to the invention consisting of an mp3 player and provided with the device Velcro in a perspective schematic representation, and
- Fig. 2 is a functional diagram of the device according to the invention in the form of a block diagram.
- FIG. 1 shows a device for repelling animals, in particular dogs, for example, which can be worn by amateur athletes, for example by joggers.
- the device essentially comprises a trigger 3, a loudspeaker 4 and an mp3 player 5.
- the mp3 player 5 is connected via a data cable 7 with a Velcro tape 6, in which the data cable 7 to the components of the speaker
- the data cable 7 is connected to the mp3 player via a standardized connection, in this case a USB connection.
- the Velcro 6 can be worn by a user, for example, on the arm, whereby the trigger 3 is arranged at a tangible height.
- the user can use the mp3 player 5 in the usual way, such as when walking in the woods, where he can easily hear his music on the mp3 player 5. In the event that the user would be attacked in his run by a dog or threatened by a dog, he could trigger by pressing the trigger 3, an ultrasonic signal that would be output from the speaker 4.
- the ultrasound signal comprises a sound signal which is emitted in the non-human audible range, and is formed in an unpleasant way for the dog in question, for example, has a very high volume.
- the transmission of the ultrasonic sound file ends. Meanwhile, the mp3 player 5 can continue the playback of the user's actual music files, so there is no interruption of the playback.
- FIG. 2 shows the function of the device according to the invention, which is accommodated, for example, in the housing of the loudspeaker 4 and comprises a control unit 1.
- This control unit 1 controls the sequence of the emission of an ultrasonic signal 10, in that the control unit 1 responds to a trigger signal 8 generated by the trigger 3 as follows. First, the control unit 1 starts a data exchange 9 with a data memory 2, which the aforementioned mp3 player
- the control unit 1 do not hold their own data storage 2, but can access the already existing data storage 2 of the mp3 player 5. At the same time, this makes it possible for the control unit 1 to be supplied with an operating voltage via the USB connection of the mp3 player 5.
- a request signal is first sent to the data memory 2 by the control unit 1, whereupon the data memory 2 reaches back an ultrasonic sound file stored on it.
- the control unit 1 will then generate an ultrasonic signal 10 based on the data of the ultrasonic sound file and transmit it to the loudspeaker 4.
- the loudspeaker 4 will then play the ultrasonic sound file. Since this ultrasound soundfile is a very unpleasant ultrasound sound for the animal, the animal can be warded off by the user in this way.
