Abstract

The life alarm sensor device a very compact life alarm with a geodesic-like convex body frame structure mechanical sensor. The geodesic-like frame sensor is comprises a plurality of polygonal frames with beveled edges which are contiguously coupled at their respective edges with conducting probes, an unconstrained conducting ball dynamic wrist movement following inside the geodesic frame structure that closes a frame electric circuit upon a cessation of wrist movement. An alarm is triggered when a pre-set countdown has elapsed.

Claims

1. A wrist life alarm with a geodesic-like frame structure mechanical sensor comprising:

a plurality of geometrical frames with beveled edges which are contiguously coupled to facilitate mating to adjacent edge frames;

the beveled edge camber angles of each frame are determined by the polygonal frame geometry to fit the frames contiguously about a geodesic center;

each sensor frame having an exterior face and an interior face with face center normal intersecting at the geodesic-like frame structure center;

an insulating strip attached from one edge of a frame to its opposite edge containing and aligned with the frame'"'"'s center;

an electrical conducting pin whose base extends out from the frame exterior face, through a frame strip and into the geodesic frame structure interior, the pin coupled with and normal to the insulating strip;

an electrical signal connection from the pin base to an electronic timer circuit;

an electrically ground geodesic frame electrically coupled to the opposite pole from the frame pins, and

an electrical conducting sphere free within the geodesic frame structure;

a movement absent geodesic settling the conducting sphere by gravity to the geodesic frame sensor'"'"'s lowest frame, in so doing causing the sphere to contact and connect

the frame pin side circuit to the frame ground lead, energizing the frame circuit and signaling to a timer circuit that the frame circuit closed;

the timer circuit receiving sensor signal incrementing a circuit specific timer, comparing the time with internal clock pre-sets time periods for each circuit;

a wireless network auto dialer coupled to the alarm timer with component wireless network module and GPS sensor;

upon timer reaching pre-set time periods without interruption from other sensor signals, the timer issues an alarm and signal for help from preset parties,

whereby the sensor wearer losing consciousness and unable to do the very minimum to call out for help would still send a signal to appropriate preset rescue parties.

2. A wrist life alarm sensor of claim 1, wherein there are 12 pentagonal shaped frames arranged as a dodecahedron frame structure.

3. A wrist life alarm sensor of claim 1, wherein there are 36 pentagonal shaped frames comprising the sensor structure.

4. A wrist life alarm sensor of claim 1, wherein there are 12 semi-sphere cup shaped frames each having a positive and negative lead strip whose circuit is energized by the conducting sphere.

5. A wrist life alarm sensor of claim 1, further comprising an electrical alarm circuit which emits an aural alarm to the sensor wearer upon timer reaching a first pre-set time period.

6. A wrist life alarm sensor of claim 1, further comprising an electrical alarm circuit and component GPS sensor and autodialer, after a second pre-set time period, triggers an autodialer call for help to preset parties and sends GPS location and other rescue information via a wireless network.

7. A wrist life alarm sensor of claim 1, further comprising RFID tags emitting signals to an RFID reader coupled to the alarm circuit, upon sensor circuit energizing the RFID tags and causing the alarm circuit to receive the signal.

8. A wrist life alarm sensor of claim 1, further comprising and an added frame circuit RFID tag which upon manual selection, turns off all individual sensor frame circuits for a wearer sleep mode.
