Yellow fellow safety sign

Abstract

A portable wet floor caution sign and attention getting warning devise that includes at least two rigid panels mounted at the top end. Audible voice box to speak multiple languages/beeping sounds, a rotating camera and visual signaling flashing lights devices can be mounted on the panels and can be activated by a motion sensor and or moister sensors circuits and therefore may include off and on sequencing switches powered by a solar charged battery pack.

Claims

1. A wet floor safety sign device especially made for the blind and the hearing impaired comprising of at least two rigid panels, an automatic on/off switch disposed at a location where at least two of the said at least two rigid panels meet for automatically activating the wet floor safety sign when set out on a floor, a power supply solar charged battery pack, a motion sensor, at least one rotating camera disposed in one of said at least two rigid panels for transmitting visual images to a video recorder, an audible attention getting voice box device, a moisture sensor, multiple flashing warning lights running vertically along an entire length of two side edges of said at least two rigid panels, a mother board or microprocessor, and a keypad.

2. The wet floor safety sign device of claim 1, wherein the audible attention getting voice box device is mounted on said at least two rigid panels.

3. The wet floor safety sign device of claim 2, wherein said audible attention getting voice box device emits an audible signal and said multiple flashing warning lights emit a lighted visible signal to warn pedestrians.

4. The wet floor safety sign device of claim 2, said audible attention getting voice box device and said multiple flashing warning lights are activated in response to motion of said pedestrians detected by said motion sensor in the vicinity of the device.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

(10) As shown in FIG. 1, the portable wet floor safety sign device unit of the present invention includes two rigid panels (E) cooperatively connected to one another to form a frame and housing. At least one rotating camera (C) for transmitting visual images to a video recorder (R) as depicted in FIG. 8 of the backside of said panel (E), powered by a solar charged battery pack (SBP) which can be rechargeable, as depicted in FIG. 7 of the backside of said panel (E), The wet floor safety sign device unit shown in FIG. 4 has multiple flashing warning lights (L) on two sides of said panels (E) to alert or give an early warning to the blind and the hearing impaired in the vicinity of said device, powered by the same power source. The audible voice box device (VB) is also connected to the same power source which is activated by the motion sensor circuit (MS) or the moisture sensor circuit (2MS).

(11) The side panels (E) on the portable wet floor safety sign device unit in FIG. 1 can have thereon visual and audible attention getting devices such as a synthesized voice box (VB), or beeper alarm device which may be switched on and off (SW) manually. The portable wet floor safety sign device unit in FIG. 1 is automatically activated when setting the sign out on the floor, and is controlled by a motion sensor (MS), or activated by a moisture sensor (2MS) to sound an alarm.

(12) As set forth heretofore, a preferred embodiment the motion sensor (MS) maybe used not only to activate the audible generating device but also the flashing lights (L). Also the circuit for these can include timer switches and/delay circuits and/sequencing switches whereby they are activated for selected periods of time and/or in various different sequences that maybe desired.

(13) Selected panels (E) may also be hinged at the top in order for the housing to be collapsed for transport or storage. The hinges may be formed of plastic such as by pin hinges or any other type of hinge. The rigid panels may also be interlocking and secured by friction fit, snap fit, hook and loop fasteners or even tongue and groove engagement.

(14) The on/off switch (SW) can be a single pole/single throw, single pole/double throw or other design and be placed anywhere on the unit. The unit may include a mother board or simple microprocessor which to turn on the voice box (VB), flashing lights (L), camera (C), motion sensor (MS) and moisture sensor (2MS), video recorder (R) when activity is detected. A keypad may be mounted to the housing and/or an infrared sensor or other devices may be included providing means for activation and control by a remote control hand unit.

(15) The foregoing detailed description is given primarily for c clearness of understanding and no unnecessary limitations are to be understood therefrom, for modifications will become obvious to those skilled in the art based upon more recent disclosures and may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention and scope of the appended claims.
