Definitions

  • This invention relates to warning devices, to give an audible signal when suitably actuated.
  • the invention provides a device including means responsive to sound in a given frequency band and a sound emitted actuated in response to the frequency responsive means to emit sound for a predetermined time.
  • a preferred frequency band for the responsive device is 1600 Hz to 2200 Hz.
  • the device is part of a key ring. If the key ring is lost a whistle at a frequency to which the responsive means reacts will set of sound emission to guide the owner to his lost keys.
  • a piezo-electric microphone device 1 responds to sound of frequency about 1,800 Hz (say within an octave bracketing this frequency). Response by the device 1 actuates a control logic circuit 2, and thence, by way of filter 3 and amplifier 4 an audio generator 5.
  • the logic circuit 2 also controls a timer 6, and this controls the audio generator through amplifier 7, filter 8 and memory and programming control circuit 9.
  • a response by the device 1 causes generation of intermittent sound of lower frequency, for a given period, e.g. like a conventional "beeper".
  • a further whistle of the appropriate frequency will cause the generator to repeat the performance.
  • a power supply not shown is included, in the form of batteries producing 3 volts D.C.
  • Elements of the circuit can be part of an integrated circuit or "chip".
  • a lost set of keys may be located in the dark, or in a hidden corner, by this device.
  • the device may be used to locate any item that could go missing, for example animals or children. A child could wear the device as a pendant.
  • the device may generate a sequence of musical notes, but not in the frequency band to which the piezo-electric microphone responds.
  • the device may be combined with a watch, say having a L.C.D. display.
