Abstract

Portable siren or emergency call device with a portable siren, comprising a loudspeaker ( 8 ), so as to emit an audio signal, preferably with a high sound pressure; an inner and/or outer switching element ( 14 ) for turning off and preferably for turning the audio signal on and off, and an outer switch and/or outer dummy switch ( 4 ).

Claims (30)

1. A portable siren, comprising

a loudspeaker ( 8 ) so as to output an audio signal with a high sound pressure;

an inner switching element ( 14 ) for turning the audio signal on and off,

characterized in that

the inner switching element for deactivation cannot be activated without a tool, and that

the portable siren further comprises an outer switch and/or an outer dummy switch ( 4 ),

wherein deactivation cannot take place via the outer switch or outer dummy switch ( 4 ), and

wherein the outer switch or outer dummy switch ( 4 ) is provided with a device for recording a fingerprint or thumbprint ( 38 ) of a finger that wants to activate the outer switch or outer dummy switch ( 4 ).

2. The portable siren ( 2 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the outer dummy switch can be activated, and upon activation has a key path and/or a key stop and/or a key sound as a response to the activation.

3. The portable siren ( 2 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the outer switch and/or outer dummy switch has injuring means ( 18 ), so as to injure the skin of a user upon activation.

4. The portable siren ( 2 ) according to claim 3 , wherein the injuring means ( 18 ) has a sharp or jagged edge or sharp or jagged structures.

5. The portable siren ( 2 ) according to claim 3 , wherein the injuring means ( 18 ) comprises at least one needle, hollow needle and/or at least one lancet or blade, which is preferably provided with barbs ( 20 ).

6. The portable siren ( 2 ) according to claim 5 , wherein the injuring means ( 18 ) provided with barbs ( 20 ) is detachable, so that part of the injuring means ( 18 ) can remain in the wound upon activation.

7. The portable siren ( 2 ) according to claim 3 , wherein the injuring means ( 18 ) is further provided with an injector, so as to introduce a liquid, preferably an irritant, a medication and/or a substance, pigment or pigment solution into the wound ( 18 ).

8. The portable siren ( 2 ) according to claim 3 , wherein the injuring means ( 18 ) is provided with an automatic pricking and/or retraction function ( 28 ).

9. The portable siren ( 2 ) according to claim 3 , wherein the injuring means ( 18 ) is set up to produce an injury in the form of a symbol.

10. The portable siren ( 2 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the latter further comprises at least one spraying device ( 50 ), so as to spray one or more liquids or fluids, wherein the spraying device ( 50 ) is connected with the outer switch and/or outer dummy switch ( 4 ), so as to spray the one or several liquids or fluids upon activation of the outer switch or outer dummy switch ( 4 ).

11. The portable siren ( 2 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the outer switch and/or outer dummy switch are illuminated, and/or wherein the siren comprises a device ( 52 ) that lights up the outer switch and/or outer dummy switch ( 4 ) when the audio signal is triggered.

12. The portable siren ( 2 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the outer switch and/or outer dummy switch is marked in color and/or by a symbol, preferably an on/off switch symbol or a sound-off symbol ( 84 ).

13. The portable siren ( 2 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the siren further comprises a lamp or stroboscope flash, which is activated with the audio signal turned on or upon activation of the outer switch or outer dummy switch ( 4 ).

14. The portable siren ( 2 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the siren further comprises a local or global positioning component ( 56 ) and/or a communication component, which are preferably activated with the audio signal turned on.

15. The portable siren ( 2 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the siren further comprises a bang signaling device, which is activated upon activation of the outer switch or outer dummy switch ( 4 ), preferably with the audio signal turned on.

16. The portable siren ( 2 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the outer switch does not turn off the audio signal, but only briefly interrupts it, preferably for 0.5 to 5, further preferably 1 to 4, and even further preferably 1.5 to 3 seconds.

17. The portable siren ( 2 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the siren further comprises a sound recorder and/or a camera ( 42 ), which starts at least one sound and/or image or video recording process upon triggering the audio signal and/or upon activation of the outer switch and/or outer dummy switch ( 4 ).

18. The portable siren ( 2 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the siren is further provided with skin contacts ( 64 ) and an electric pulse generator, which is connected with the skin contacts ( 64 ), wherein the portable siren ( 2 ) is configured to emit the electric pulses from the electric pulse device to the skin contacts ( 64 ) when the outer switch and/or outer dummy switch is activated.

19. The portable siren ( 2 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the siren can be connected with an emergency call device ( 68 ) via a detachable mechanical, electrical and/or radio interface, wherein the portable siren is configured to trigger the audio signal given a separation of the interface to a connected emergency call device ( 68 ).

20. An emergency call device ( 68 ), comprising a local or global positioning component ( 56 ) and a communication component ( 58 ) as well as an emergency call triggering device ( 70 ), wherein the emergency call device ( 68 ) is connected with a portable siren according to claim 1 via a detachable mechanical, electrical and/or radio interface, and wherein the emergency call device ( 68 ) is further configured to transmit an emergency call by way of the communication component given a separation of the interface with the portable siren.

21. The emergency call device ( 68 ) according to claim 20 , wherein the emergency call device ( 68 ) is configured to trigger the audio signal via a radio connection given a separation of the interface.

22. The emergency call device ( 68 ) according to claim 20 , wherein the emergency call device ( 68 ) is disguised as another object.

23. A portable siren ( 2 ) and emergency call device ( 68 ), wherein the portable siren is configured according to claim 1 and the emergency call device ( 68 ) comprises a local or global positioning component ( 56 ) and a communication component ( 58 ) as well as an emergency call triggering device ( 70 ), wherein the emergency call device ( 68 ) is connected with the portable siren via a detachable mechanical, electrical and/or radio interface, and wherein the emergency call device ( 68 ) is further configured to transmit an emergency call by way of the communication component given a separation of the interface with the portable siren.
