Description

La présente invention se rapporte à un indicateur de réveil pour enfant et plus particulièrement à un indicateur de réveil montrant, selon l'heure, des figures ou des images en positions et couleurs différentes.The present invention relates to a child alarm clock and more particularly to an alarm clock showing, according to the time, figures or images in different positions and colors.

Il est connu que les enfants en bas âges ne savent pas lire l'heure sur un réveil analogique ou digital. Même s'ils étaient en mesure de lire l'heure cela n'apporterait rien puisque les enfants en bas âges n'ont pas la notion du temps. Ce sont souvent les bruits extérieurs tels que voitures, avions, chants des oiseaux, ou les premiers rayons du soleil qui incitent l'enfant à croire que c'est l'heure du réveil alors ce que ce n'est pas le cas en réalité.It is known that young children can not read the time on an analog or digital alarm clock. Even if they were able to read the time it would not bring anything since the young children do not have the notion of time. It is often external noises such as cars, planes, bird songs, or the first rays of the sun that make the child believe that it is time to wake up, which is not the case in reality. .

Cette situation pose de nombreux problèmes aux enfants et aux parents. Aux enfants qui, lorsqu'ils se réveillent, ne savent pas si c'est déjà l'heure de se lever ou pas, et aux parents qui sont réveillés par un enfant qui se lève trop tôt.This situation poses many problems for children and parents. Children who, when they wake up, do not know if it's time to get up or not, and parents who are awakened by a child who gets up too early.

Le fait qu'un enfant se lève trop tôt sans le savoir le rendra souvent peu agréable durant la journée. De plus ceci peut lui créer des frustrations lorsqu'il se trouve devant des parents mécontents d'avoir été réveillés trop tôt par l'enfant. En effet, l'enfant se trouve dans une situation où on lui reproche une faute qu'il n'a pas commise.The fact that a child gets up early without knowing it will often make it uncomfortable during the day. Moreover, this can create frustrations for him when he finds himself in front of parents who are unhappy to have been awakened too early by the child. In fact, the child is in a situation where he is accused of a fault he has not committed.

Pour les parents, souvent fatigués, le fait d'être réveillés inutilement est aussi un motif d'énervements et peut provoquer des accumulations de fatigue pour ceux qui n'arrivent plus à se rendormir après avoir été réveillés.For parents, who are often tired, being woken up unnecessarily is also a source of annoyance and can cause fatigue accumulations for those who can not get back to sleep after waking up.

Les formes d'exécutions de réveil-matin connues présentent des inconvénients importants dans le cas des enfants. Les réveil-matins ont en effet une fonction de réveil, que ce soit par une sonnerie, par vibration ou autres artifices de toutes sortes. Ces fonctions de réveil présentent l'inconvénient d'être inutiles et même totalement indésirables pour les enfants, car elles réveillent inutilement l'enfant. Ces formes d'exécutions de réveil-matins connues présentent encore un inconvénient important dans la mesure où ils comportent des indications que l'enfant ne peut pas lire.The known waking-up forms of execution have significant disadvantages in the case of children. The alarm-mornings have indeed a waking function, whether by a ring, vibration or other devices of all kinds. These wake up functions have the disadvantage of being useless and even totally undesirable for the children, because they awaken the child unnecessarily. These forms of known waking-morning performances still have a significant disadvantage in that they include indications that the child can not read.

Le document GB2259160 décrit un indicateur de réveil utilisant des couleurs différentes pour indiquer différentes périodes de la journée.The document GB2259160 describes a wake-up indicator that uses different colors to indicate different times of the day.

Le but de la présente invention consiste donc à remédier aux inconvénients des formes d'exécutions connues.The object of the present invention is therefore to overcome the disadvantages of the known embodiments.

Le but est atteint avec les principes de l'invention tels que définis par les revendications annexées.The object is achieved with the principles of the invention as defined by the appended claims.

L'indicateur de réveil pour enfants comporte un cadran qui est monté dans un boîtier comportant des éléments connus d'horlogerie ou de minuterie analogiques ou digitaux. Le cadran comporte un ou plusieurs indicateurs de temps de réglage et un ou plusieurs boutons d'actionnement pour régler le temps. Le cadran comporte des figures ou images qui se présentent en deux positions, une position de sommeil et une position de réveil. Les positions sont accentuées par des différences de couleur. La position d'une figure couchée indique à l'enfant qu'il doit rester au lit et la position debout indique à l'enfant qu'il peut se lever, le moment de changement étant déterminé par un réglage des parents.The alarm clock for children includes a dial that is mounted in a housing with known analog clocking or timer elements or digital. The dial has one or more adjustment time indicators and one or more actuation buttons for setting the time. The dial includes figures or images that are in two positions, a sleeping position and a waking position. The positions are accentuated by color differences. The position of a lying figure indicates to the child that he must remain in bed and the standing position indicates to the child that he can get up, the moment of change being determined by a setting of the parents.

Les avantages des principes de l'invention sont que les enfants disposent d'une indication sur le temps facile à comprendre, indication qu'ils ne pourraient pas avoir autrement. Lorsqu'ils se réveillent cette indication leur permet de savoir s'ils doivent encore dormir ou s'ils peuvent se lever. De cette manière l'enfant ne peut plus être mis en erreur sans le savoir. Les principes de l'invention présentent l'avantage de ne pas réveiller l'enfant mais au contraire de l'inciter à dormir le plus longtemps possible. Les figures peuvent être des figures connues de l'enfant, une figure de bande dessinée ou un animal par exemple, ce qui incitera l'enfant à imiter ce qu'il peut considérer comme un ami.The advantages of the principles of the invention are that the children have an indication on the time easy to understand, indication that they could not have otherwise. When they wake up this indication lets them know if they should still sleep or if they can get up. In this way the child can no longer be misled without knowing it. The principles of the invention have the advantage of not waking the child but instead to encourage him to sleep as long as possible. The figures may be known figures of the child, a cartoon figure or an animal for example, which will encourage the child to imitate what he can consider a friend.

Avec les principes de l'invention la durée de sommeil, très importante pour les enfants en bas âges, est augmentée d'une manière significative.With the principles of the invention sleep duration, very important for children at low ages, is increased significantly.

Les parents sont moins dérangés inutilement le matin ou durant la sieste ce qui augmente aussi leur nombre d'heures de sommeil.Parents are less bothered unnecessarily in the morning or during nap, which also increases their number of hours of sleep.

Il y a interaction des avantages pour les parents et les enfants, des parents trop souvent réveillés pouvant devenir irritables, irritations qui peuvent se reporter sur l'enfant, les principes de l'invention permettant d'éviter ces interactions.There is an interaction of benefits for parents and children, parents too often awake can become irritable, irritations that can refer to the child, the principles of the invention to avoid these interactions.

Les figures annexées montrent schmématiquement et à titre d'exemple les principes de l'invention.The attached figures show schematically and by way of example the principles of the invention.

La figure 1 montre une vue de face d'une forme d'exécution d'un indicateur de réveil.The figure 1 shows a front view of an embodiment of an alarm clock.

La figure 2 montre une vue de côté d'une forme d'exécution d'un indicateur de réveil.The figure 2 shows a side view of an embodiment of an alarm clock.

La figure 3 montre une vue de face d'une autre forme d'exécution d'un indicateur de réveil.The figure 3 shows a front view of another embodiment of an alarm clock.

En référence aux figures 1 et 2, un indicateur de réveil 1 comporte un boîtier 6 dans lequel est monté un cadran 7. Des éléments de minuterie ou d'horlogerie sont montés dans le boîtier. Le cadran 7 comporte des figures de réveil 2 et de sommeil 3 et un indicateur de réglage de temps 4. L'indicateur de réglage de temps est réglé par des boutons 5 et 8, par exemple.With reference to Figures 1 and 2 , an alarm clock 1 comprises a housing 6 in which is mounted a dial 7. Timer or clockwork elements are mounted in the housing. The dial 7 has wake up figures 2 and sleep 3 and a time setting indicator 4. The time setting indicator is set by buttons 5 and 8, for example.

Le cadran 7 peut être constitué par une plaque qui comporte des ouvertures présentant les formes souhaitées de figures, par exemple des figures constituées par l'idole de l'enfant, et d'indicateur de réglage de temps, des éléments lumineux se trouvant derrière les ouvertures.The dial 7 may be constituted by a plate which has openings having the desired shapes of figures, for example figures formed by the idol of the child, and time setting indicator, light elements lying behind the openings.

Le cadran peut également être constitué d'éléments à cristaux liquides par exemple.The dial may also consist of liquid crystal elements for example.

L'indicateur de réveil peut comporter plusieurs indicateurs de régalage de temps et plusieurs boutons.The wake-up indicator can have several time adjustment indicators and several buttons.

Les figures de réveil 2 et de sommeil 3 peuvent présenter différentes formes et différentes positions ainsi que différentes couleurs. Les figures peuvent aussi être interchangeables.The awakening patterns 2 and sleep 3 may have different shapes and positions and different colors. The figures can also be interchangeable.

La figure 1 montre une figure de sommeil 3 en position couchée et une figure de réveil 2 en position debout. En plus des positions différentes, les figures sont différenciées par des couleurs, la figure de sommeil présentant une lumière rouge et la figure de réveil une couleur verte, par exemple.The figure 1 shows a sleep figure 3 in a supine position and a wake up figure 2 while standing. In addition to the different positions, the figures are differentiated by colors, the sleeping figure having a red light and the waking figure a green color, for example.

Dans la pratique, les parents règlent l'indicateur de réglage de temps sur l'heure à laquelle ils souhaitent que l'indicateur de temps passe de la phase sommeil à la phase réveil. A l'heure voulue la figure de sommeil 3 s'éteint et la figure de réveil 2 s'allume. D'un clin d'oeil, l'enfant sait immédiatement dans quelle phase il se trouve.In practice, parents set the time setting indicator to the time they want the time indicator to change from sleep to wake up. At the desired time, the sleeping figure 3 goes out and the alarm figure 2 comes on. In a wink, the child knows immediately what phase it is.

Comme mentionné ci-dessus, les figures de sommeil et de réveil sont représentées sur la figure 1, respectivement en positions couchée et debout ce qui représente les deux positions les plus représentatives.As mentioned above, the figures of sleep and waking are represented on the figure 1 , respectively in supine and standing positions representing the two most representative positions.

La figure 3 montre une autre forme d'exécution d'un indicateur de réglage 9 comportant un boîtier 10, un cadran, 11 un indicateur de temps 14 et des boutons de réglages 15 et 16. Avec cette forme d'exécution un soleil 12 constitue la figure de réveil et une lune 13 constitue la figure de sommeil.The figure 3 shows another embodiment of an adjustment indicator 9 comprising a housing 10, a dial, 11 a time indicator 14 and setting buttons 15 and 16. With this embodiment a sun 12 constitutes the figure of awakening and a moon 13 is the figure of sleep.

Comme mentionné, l'indicateur de réveil peut comporter deux boutons de réglage et deux indicateurs de régalage de temps ou plus si nécessaire. L'enfant en bas âge ne dormant pas que la nuit, il peut en effet être nécessaire de prévoir un indicateur de régalage de temps supplémentaire pour la sieste par exemple.As mentioned, the wake-up indicator may include two adjustment buttons and two or more time adjustment indicators if necessary. As the toddler does not sleep only at night, it may indeed be necessary to provide an indicator of overtime adjustment for the nap for example.

L'indicateur de réveil est montré de forme ronde sur les figures 1 et 3, à titre d'exemple. Le boîtier peut être réalisé selon des formes très diverses et dans des matériaux très divers.The wakeup indicator is shown in round form on figures 1 and 3 , for exemple. The housing can be made in a variety of shapes and in a variety of materials.

L'indicateur de réveil peut être réalisé de manière à être suspendu et également de manière à être posé sur une table de nuit par exemple.The alarm clock can be made to be suspended and also to be placed on a night table for example.
