Description

Description of the industrial invention entitled: "ANTI-SLEEP ALARM DEVICE FOR CARS STI AND SIMILAR, APPLICABLE ON GLASSES AND / OR ON SUP MOBILE EARPHONES"; by CORMIO CORRADO - ITALY. Agent: MASCIOLI Prof. Dr. ALESSANDRO C / O ANDI National Association of Inventors, based in Rome at Via Urbana, 20. Designated inventor: the same. DESCRIPTION TEXT The invention concerns an alarm device anti-sleep for motorists and the like, applicable on glasses and / or on mobile ear supports, to provide the possibility, in the event of a "stroke no”, to immediately regain control the car. of the It is known that the problem of drowsiness drivers are often the cause of serious road accidents involving other cars as well. It is also evident that the operation of a ci A drop or similar at the beginning of the driver's drowsiness is sufficient to immediately awaken him, avoiding danger. To provide for the above, bio-engineering research is developing complex systems, managed by computers and the like, capable of detecting the nictation of the eyelids following observation - 2 -tion of its variation as an indicator of incipient sleep. The construction complexity and the imprecision of the functioning of any such detection devices are evident, in addition to the consequent significant costs. The purpose of the present invention is to re completely solve the above-described need, with a simple, inexpensive and sure to work device operation. The goal is achieved with the device, if according to the invention, based on the simple consideration that at the moment of incipient sleep the neck muscles tend to relax and the head a seated driver tends to lean back on his chest, in such that the said device consisting of a horizontality sensor, under the conditions described it detects the inclination and immediately closes the circuit of a ringer or similar, powered by one built-in electric battery, waking up the driver to take back- As regards the possible applications the device: - by means of an attachment it can be applied on any type of eyeglasses or sunglasses. - can be mounted on a mobile stand apply around the ear (ear type). The invention is set out in more detail below with the aid of the drawings which represent two examples of its execution. Fig. 1 shows a schematic and exploded view of an anti-sleep alarm device for drivers and the like, applicable to glasses and / or mobile earpieces. Fig. 2 shows the operating circuit diagram. Figs. 3-4 show a side view of the device applied to a pair of glasses and an earpiece. The figures represent an anti-sleep alarm device for drivers and the like, applicable to glasses and / or mobile ear supports, consisting of: - a containment structure 1, approximately cylindrical or bi-truncated-conical, measuring a few centimetres, applicable to one of the temples S of the glasses O or to the support SU of the earphone; - a sensor 2, preferably mercury, capable of establishing contact between the P and N poles, in the event of a tilt from the horizontal position, and of causing the activation of the alarm 3 which is immediately perceived by the driver; - an electric battery 4, incorporated in the gie-

Claims

CLAIMS 1) Anti-sleep alarm device for drivers and the like, applicable to glasses and / or mobile ear supports, designed to provide the possibility, in the event of microsleep, to immediately regain control of the vehicle, characterised by: - a containment structure 1, approximately cylindrical or bi-truncated-conical, measuring a few centimetres, applicable to a temple S of the glasses 0 or to the support SU of the earphone; - a sensor 2, preferably mercury, capable of establishing contact between the P and N poles, in the event of a tilt from the horizontal position, and of causing the activation of the alarm 3 which is immediately perceived by the driver; - an electric battery 4, incorporated in the switch ring 5, applicable to said structure 1, so as to make the device carrying all the incorporated components compact. 2) Device according to rev.1, characterised by made to be applied on glasses. 3) Device according to rev.1, characterised by the fact that it is applied on mobile supports RM96A00Q6I6 SUMMARY The device, based on the fact that, at the moment of incipient sleep, the neck muscles tend to relax and the head of a seated driver tends to recline on the chest, consists of a horizontality sensor 2, incorporated into glasses and / or mobile ear supports, which detects any inclination and immediately closes the circuit of a buzzer 3 or similar, powered by a built-in electric battery 4, waking the driver.
