Abstract

A portable receiver for remotely warning one or several persons includes a receiver-buzzer that receives coded signals from a transmitter triggering the buzzer. The device, by virtue of its functions, is designed for remotely warning in case of need, emergency or danger, any person equipped with the portable receiver-buzzer.

Claims

1. ) Transmitter-vibrating receiver device that discretely warns one or several people, at a distance, whenever the need arises of the occurrence of an urgent situation or danger, which device comprises a central transmitter box (13), a presence detector transmitter box (23), a telephone plug transmitter box (30), a front door transmitter box (36) and a portable vibrating-receiver box (16). The aforesaid central transmitter box (13) is characterized by an “

alarm”

push button (2) that manually triggers off the coded signal sent by the central transmitter (13) to the receiver (20), which sets off the vibrator-motor (21) in the portable vibrating-receiver box 16), one or the three LEDs (17), the LED diode (3) located on the central transmitter box, (13) which indicates that the order from the “

alarm”

push button (2) was sent out correctly by the central transmitter (13) and registered by the receiver (21) in the portable vibrating-receiver (16);

a housing (11) that connects and disconnects the portable vibrating-receiver (16) by two golden contacts to the central transmitter box (13) to charge up the battery (22) in the portable vibrating-receiver (16), a push button (14) to activate or deactivate the presence detection system at a distance (24) with a red LED (29) to show when it is in operation, a light (28) that is lit up by the presence detector whenever a presence is detected, a transmitter that activates the presence detector.

2. ) Device according to claim 1 whose central transmitter box (13) is characterized by a programmable clock (1) with which several cycles per day can be programmed over an eight day period and which triggers off a coded signal from the central transmitter (13) to the receiver (20) that activates the vibrator-motor (21) in the portable vibrating-receiver box (16) and also characterized by a microphone (4) with a voice/sound detector that detects the following according to the preset frequency and intensity:

voices, crying and noises. This detector then triggers off the coded signal from the central transmitter (13) to the receiver (20), which activates the vibrator-motor (21) in the portable vibrating-receiver (16).

3. ) Device according to claim 1 whose central transmitter box (13) is characterized by a reversing switch push button (5) that connects or disconnects the clock (1) and the voice/sound detector (4) simultaneously or switches the order from the clock (1) or the order from the voice/sound detector (4), a push button (lit up=active) that activates or deactivates the presence detector(s) (24) with their LED diode (29) that indicates if the detection system is activated.

4. ) Device according to claim 1 whose central transmitter box (13) is characterized by a bicolor electroluminescent LED diode (6) that indicates the state of charge of the battery (22) (red=discharged/green=charged in the portable vibrating-receiver box (16), a green mains LED (8).

5. ) Device according to claim 1 whose central transmitter box (13) is characterized by a bicolor LED diode (7) that shows if the transmitter battery (central transmitter and presence detector transmitter) is charged up.

6. ) Device according to claim 1 whose central transmittebox (13) is characterized by a “

clearance”

push button (9) that deactivates the LED diode (3) that sh when the “

alarm”

push button (2) is activated.

7. ) Device according to claim 1 whose central transmitter box (13) is characterized by a mains output (15) with a mains cord and protection, a housing (11) with two golden contacts that charge up the battery (22) in the portable vibrating-receiver box (16), and foolproofing to avoid polarity inversion when charging the battery (22).

8. ) Device according to claim 1 whose portable vibrating-receiver box (16) with its receiver (20), decoder and switch, its vibrator-motor (21) and watch (18) is characterized by two golden contacts (19) that are used to charge up the battery (22) of the portable vibrating-receiver (16) that powers the system.

9. ) Device according to claim 1 whose presence detection transmitter (23), presence detector (24), antenna (25), mains power indication LED (27), mains output (26), light (28), red LED diode (29), telephone plug box (30), male (31) and female (35) telephone plug, antenna (32), mains power indication LED diode (34), mains output (33), front door box (36), push button (37), antenna (38), mains power indication LED (40) and mains output (39) is characterized by the possibility of sending a coded wave the receiver (20) that triggers off the vibrator-motor (21) in the portable vibrating-receiver box (16) and one of the three LED diodes (17) of a different color that depends on the function of the transmitter that has sent out the coded wave, or activated the three LEDs (17) if the coded wave has been sent by the presence detection transmitter.

10. ) Device according to claim 1 whose portable vibrating-receiver (16) (worn—

as designed for this system—

on the wrist, arm, ankle, or attached to the belt or jacket or shirt pocket), and the transmitters (13-23-30-36) is characterized by its multiple functions;

voice/sound detection, (4), programmable clock (1), “

alarm”

push button (2), presence detection (24), telephone plug (31/35), front door (37), which make it possible for this device to be used and/or help all persons and in particular the elderly, handicapped, sick, deaf or hearing impaired and blind and also be used to survey babies and generally to warn, whenever needed, or in the event of an urgency or danger, all persons equipped with a portable vibrating-receiver (16).
