Audio recording device with note holder for door handles

Abstract

T Digital sound recording device with note holder, characterized in that it is designed for attachment to a door handle and automatically plays back stored speech information when the door handle is pressed down, wherein a mounting clip (5) is additionally provided for attaching written notes.

Description

Technical field

[0001] The invention relates to an ergonomic, digital sound recording device with an integrated note holder, which is particularly intended for attachment to door handles.

[0002] The device serves as a reminder and information aid for the user when leaving or entering a room or apartment. State of the art

[0003] People typically use handwritten notes or mobile applications to remember important tasks.

[0004] However, written notes can easily be overlooked or lost.

[0005] Mobile applications, on the other hand, require active use by the user and are not directly related to the door handle - the last point of contact when leaving a room.

[0006] Currently available note holders or mounting systems for door handles do not allow for voice recording or an automatic acoustic reminder when the door handle is pressed down. Description of the invention

[0007] The object of the invention is to provide a compact, universally applicable device that allows both voice recordings and the attachment of handwritten notes to the door handle.

[0008] At the same time, the device should automatically play back stored voice information when the door handle is pressed, in order to reliably remind the user of important tasks. Solution to the task

[0009] This problem is solved by a sound recording device having the features of claim 1.

[0010] The device includes, in particular: *an ergonomically designed housing (9) with battery, *a microphone (12) which also serves as a loudspeaker for playback, *an electronic circuit with memory, *a record button (11) to activate voice recording, *a tilt switch or tilt sensor that automatically triggers playback when the door handle is pressed down, *a fastening device in the form of a clip clamp (2), through which the screw 4a allows universal attachment to various door handles, as well as an additional rod (5) with arcs (7) and a hemispherical ball (6) on the back, which rests against the door.

[0011] The rod (5) and the sound recording device (9) together form a clamp (as in Fig. 1 shown) and thus also serve to attach written notes, such as slips of paper or letters (see Fig. 3). Advantages of the invention

[0012] The invention combines voice recording and written notes in a single, compact device.

[0013] It offers the following advantages: *Automatic acoustic reminder when pressing down the door handle, *Combination of written and verbal communication, *Universal fastening by the screw (4a) according to Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 fits almost all door handles with a diameter of 12 mm or more, *Easy operation with just one record button, *Compact, ergonomic design with an unobtrusive look, *Note holders can come in different forms. Fig. 1: Shows an ergonomically designed digital sound recording device (9) with an integrated note holder (1). The device consists of a housing (9) which has a clip clamp (2) with a bore (4). On the front of the rod (5) there are three wavy protrusions (7), while on the back there is a hemispherical ball (6). Reference numeral (11) refers to the record button, reference numeral (12) to the loudspeaker or microphone. Fig. 2: Shows an exploded view of the individual components of the sound recording device (9) with note holder (1). On the right is shown the clip clamp (2) with a bore (4) and two provided fastening screws (3). In the middle is the rod (5), which is made of rubber or soft plastic and has three arc-shaped protrusions (7). A hemispherical ball (6) is arranged on the back of the rod (5). On the left is the actual recording device (9), where reference number (11) indicates the record button and reference number (12) indicates the speaker / microphone. Fig. 3: Shows the mounted sound recording device with note holder (1), which is attached to a door handle (13) by means of the clip clamp (2). The clamp (2) contains the recording device (9) and the rubber bar (5), between which notes or letters (15) are clamped. On the back of the beam (5) is the hemispherical ball (6) which serves as a support for the door (14). Fig. 4: Shows the front of the sound recording device (9) which is inserted into the clip clamp (2) via an insertion (3a). The clamp (2) is provided with a fastening screw (4a) to ensure secure attachment to the door handle. Reference numeral (12) identifies the loudspeaker / microphone, reference numeral (11) the record button. On the back of the rod (5) there is a hook (7a) which can be used, for example, to hang a key ring. Notes or letters (15) can be firmly clamped between the sound recording device (9) and the rod (5). Fig. 5: Shows the front of the sound recording device (9), which is attached by means of a clip clamp (2) with fastening screw (4a). Reference numeral (12) refers to the loudspeaker / microphone, reference numeral (11) to the record button. At the top end of the sound recording device (9) a clothespin-shaped clip (20) is attached, which is provided with a hook (7a) and serves to hold a letter or note (15).
