Definitions
- a receiver wirelessly activated by the transmitter, wherein, when activated, the receiver provides an alarm signal.
- the switch is activated when the means of receiving the filament is in the on position.
- the arm extending from the body may be collapsible. More preferably, the arm may be secured in at least two positions, including an open position and a closed position, whereby, in use the arm is in the open position. This facilitates easy transportation of the alarm system.
- the switch is a reed switch. More preferably, the reed switch is attached to the base of the switching device, and is activated by a magnetic component connected to the means of receiving the filament.
- 'receiver' is meant a device capable of receiving a signal and providing an alarm signal.
- the signal is provided by the transmitter.
- the receiver provides an aural or tactile alarm signal.
- the tactile alarm may be in the form of a vibration.
- the intensity of the tactile alarm vibration may be adjustable.
- the volume of the aural alarm signal may be adjustable.
- the tactical alarm signal is capable of alerting a user who may have a hearing impediment.
- the alarm signal is tuneable to a specific frequency. For example, where multiple alarm systems are in use within the same or similar vicinity, individual alarm signal frequencies may be adapted.
- the receiver is capable of providing the alarm signal from a remote location. Preferably, the receiver is capable of providing the alarm signal from up to approximately 200 meters away from the transmitter, more preferably, from up to approximately 100 meters away and even more preferably, from up to 50 meters away from the transmitter.
- the transmitter is provided within a waterproof enclosure.
- the means of receiving the filament may be pivotally mounted on the base.
- the means of receiving the filament is a hook.
- the means of adjusting the sensitivity may be in the form of at least one, preferably, two nuts, which may be tightened or loosened according to the required tension on the filament.
- 'filament' is meant a thread-like object or fiber.
- the filament may be fishing line.
- the alarm system may be a fishing alarm system including: a body with an arm extending from the body,
- the switching device including a means of receiving the fishing line and a means of adjusting the sensitivity; wherein in use, the switching device in contact with the fishing line is activated by a change in tension on the fishing line;
- a fishing alarm system may also include a fishing rod holder extending from the body. The fishing rod holder, in use, directs the fishing rod towards the surface of the water, wherein the tension on the fishing line is reduced. The fishing rod holder is capable of easily receiving most fishing rods.
- a fishing alarm system wherein the receiver is capable of providing the alarm signal from a remote location.
- the receiver is capable of providing the alarm signal from up to approximately 200 meters away from the transmitter.
- the user may be located some distance from the fishing rod and still be alerted to a strike, nibble or bite from a fish.
- the user may be located in a shelter i.e. house, cabin, tent or a car, out of the weather, particularly inclement weather for example, snow, rain or heat.
- the user may be located away from the edge or bank of the body of water, thereby reducing the risk of attack from aquatic animals for example, crocodiles, alligators and caimans.
- a fishing alarm system wherein the alarm signal may be tuneable to a specific frequency.
- individual alarm signal frequencies may be adapted for each alarm system.
- each user can adjust their own alarm signal frequency to allow identification of individual fishing rods and fishing alarm systems.
- a fishing alarm system wherein the receiver may be a mobile phone hand set.
- the means of adjusting the sensitivity may be in the form of attaching a weight to the means of receiving the filament.
- the weights may be of any size capable of providing acceptable tension on the line for the desired sensitivity. For example, low to very low sensitivity may be achieved using a weight attached to the means of receiving the filament.
- the alarm system may be a proximity alarm system, including:
- the switching device connected to the arm; the switching device including a means of receiving a filament and a means of adjusting the sensitivity; wherein in use, the switching device in contact with the filament is activated by a change in tension on the filament; a transmitter activated by the switching device; and
- a receiver wirelessly activated by the transmitter, wherein, when activated, the receiver provides an alarm signal.
- an animal or human coming in to contact with the filament changes the tension of the filament, activating the switching device.
