Signalling device for indicating a nursed person in a bad sleeping condition
First Claim
1. A signalling device for indicating a person, who is being nursed, in a bad sleeping condition comprising:
- means for detecting said bad sleeping condition, adapted to be mounted on the body of said person for outputting a voltage signal when said bad sleeping condition is detected;
a switching circuit coupled to said detecting means;
a signal generating circuit coupled to said switching circuit for being turned on by said switching circuit is response to said voltage signal from said detecting means in order to output an alarm signal; and
a frequency modulating circuit coupled to said switching circuit for being turned on thereby in response to said voltage signal, and also coupled to said signal generating circuit for receiving said alarm signal and frequency modulating it to radiate out a radio wave which is adapted to be received and reproduced by an FM receiver in order to signal that said nursed person is in said bad sleeping condition;
the detecting means consisting of a detecting circuit containing a combination of sensors, one of said sensors being sensitive to light, one of said sensors being sensitive to temperature, and one of said sensors being sensitive to urination, any which of said sensors being capable of detecting a bad sleeping condition, wherein the temperature sensor is a thermistor capable of varying its resistance value in accordance with the temperature value on said person'"'"'s body is provided, and a comparator is coupled to said thermistor at one input terminal thereof, connected to a reference voltage at the other input terminal, and coupled to said switching circuit at the output section thereof, so that when said quilt is moved away from the person'"'"'s body, the temperature value around said thermistor decreases, causing said comparator to actuate said switching circuit to turn on said signal generating circuit and said frequency modulating circuit in response to the variation of resistance value of said thermistor.

Abstract
The present invention discloses a signalling device for indicating a person, who is being nursed, in a bad sleeping condition comprising:
means for detecting the bad sleeping condition, adapted to be mounted on the body of the person for outputting a voltage signal when the bad sleeping condition is detected;
a switching circuit coupled to the detecting means;
a signal generating circuit coupled to the switching circuit for being turned on by the switching circuit in response to the voltage signal from the detecting means in order to output an alarm signal; and
a frequency modulating circuit coupled to the switching circuit for being turned on thereby in response to the voltage signal, and also coupled to the signal generating circuit for receiving the alarm signal and frequency modulating it to radiate out a radio wave which is adapted to be received and reproduced by an FM receiver in order to signal that the nursed person is in the bad sleeping condition.
