Benefits of technology

[0011]Based on the disadvantages of the traditionally wired scoring machine for fencing as described in the background of the invention, the present invention provides a wireless scoring and displaying device for epee and foil fencing with easy to setup, high portability and cost-effective benefits.
[0013]However, when using the Wireless Scoring Machine for Epee and Foil Fencing according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, an epee or a foil fencer needs not wear any conductive clothing. The wireless transmitting means and the principle thereof is to build on top of the traditional conductive element on the tip of a blade of an epee or a foil and the traditional body power cord. When the tip is in contact with the body of a fencer, the conductive element and the body form a closed circuit to transmit electric power to actuate the radio transmitter box to transmit radio signals so that the radio receiver base station receives the radio signals and then generates electric current to actuate a relay for score calculation. Consequently, a calculator calculates and adds the scores via the relay followed by displaying the scores. Thus, the Wireless Scoring Machine for Epee and Foil Fencing according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a convenient calculating and displaying means without using any reel for epee and foil fencing.

Problems solved by technology

The problem with the traditional scoring machine requires expensive reels, scoring indicators and a scoring machine for setting up a strip to be used in a match.
They are not extremely portable and cost-effective.

Embodiment Construction

[0018]Referring to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, the Wireless Scoring Machine for Epee and Foil Fencing embodiment is illustrated. As shown, the present invention is provided with a traditional epee (indicated as 1) in FIG. 1 or foil (indicated as 3) in FIG. 2, an epee radio transmitter box (indicated as 2) in FIG. 1 or a foil radio transmitter box (indicated as 4) in FIG. 2, a common radio receiver base station (indicated as 5) in FIG. 3, and a common calculator / displayer (indicated as 6) in FIG. 3.

[0019]Referring to FIG. 1, the epee radio transmitter box (indicated as 2) is provided with a direct current power unit (indicated as 21) and a radio transmitter (indicated as 22). When the conductive element (indicated as 11) is in contact with the body of a fencer, it converts the open circuit into a closed circuit between the two power wires (indicated as 12 and 13) to actuate the radio transmitter (indicated as 22) to transmit radio signals.

[0020]Referring to FIG. 2, the foil radio transmitter b...

Abstract

A wireless scoring machine for epee and foil fencing is used to generate and receive radio signals transmitted through a traditional epee or foil for counting scores and displaying the scores, wherein the tip of the blade of an epee or a foil equipped with a conductive element electrically is connected to a radio transmitter box. When the tip is in contact with a body of a fencer, the conductive element and the body form a closed circuit to transmit electric power to actuate a radio transmitter to transmit radio signals followed by a radio receiver base station receiving the radio signals and continuously generating electric current to actuate a relay to enable a calculator to calculate the scores followed by displaying the scores.
