Abstract

The invention relates to a digital clock with additional functions, which is characterised by a combination of the following characteristics: a three-lined display displaying the current time on the top line, the beginning of breast-feeding on the centre line, and on the left and/or right of the latter, a display for the last breast used for breast-feeding (L or R), a display of the time since the last breast-feed and a display of the reminder function (time of the alarm) on the lowest line. Actuation elements for adjusting the time, for recording the start of breast-feeding, for displaying the left-right reminder function, for adjusting the time of the alarm, for changing modes and for illuminating the display fields are arranged on the clock housing.

Description

Digitaluhr mit ZusatzfunktionenDigital clock with additional functions
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Digitaluhr mit Zusatzfunktionen. Sie soll stillenden Müttern dabei helfen,The invention relates to a digital clock with additional functions. It should help nursing mothers

gegebenenfalls mittels Alarm-Funktion an die nächste Mahlzeit erinnert zu werden.if necessary, to be reminded of the next meal by means of an alarm function.
Mutter und Kind brauchen einige Zeit bis sich der Stillvorgang eingespielt hat. Es ist an- fänglich sehr schwierig, sich den Zeitpunkt des letzten Stillens zu merken bzw. an welcherMother and child need some time until the breastfeeding process has started. It is initially very difficult to remember the time of the last breastfeeding or at which
Brust der Stillvorgang beendet wurde. Erst wenn Mütter einen genauen Überblick über dieBreast of breastfeeding process has ended. Only when mothers have a precise overview of the
Stillintervalle haben wissen sie, ob ihr Baby weint, weil es Hunger hat oder suchen nach anderen Gründen für das Weinen. Auch ist es wichtig zu wissen, wie lange an einer Brust gestillt wurde (Kinderärzte empfehlen 15-20 Minuten), bevor man auf die andere Seite wechselt. Dies alles ist schwierig mit Hilfe von Papier und Bleistift zu notieren, während das Baby an der Mutterbrust angelegt ist bzw. in der Nacht bei Dunkelheit.Nursing intervals have you know if your baby is crying because she is hungry or looking for other reasons for crying. It is also important to know how long it has been breastfeeding (paediatricians recommend 15-20 minutes) before moving to the other side. All this is difficult to note with the help of paper and pencil, while the baby is placed on the mother's breast or at night in the dark.
Die erfmdungs gemäße Digitaluhr mit Zusatzfunktionen ("Stilluhr") ist dazu geeignet, sowohl den Zeitpunkt des letzten Stillens festzuhalten (auch nachts durch Licht-Funktion) als auch der Mutter Auskunft darüber zu geben, wann auf die andere Brust gewechselt wird, und um festzuhalten an welcher Brust der Stillvorgang beendet wurde.The erfmdungs contemporary digital clock with additional functions ("still clock") is capable of both the date of last breastfeeding hold (even at night by light function) and the mother to provide information about when to switch to the other breast, and to hold on on which breast the breastfeeding process was ended.
Die Erfindung löst die vorstehend angesprochenen Probleme mit den im Schutzbegehren angeführten Merkmalen.The invention solves the above-mentioned problems with the features mentioned in the protection claims.
Unter Bezugnahme auf die angeschlossene Zeichnung wird die Funktionsweise der erfindungsgemäßen Digitaluhr nachstehend erläutert.With reference to the attached drawing, the operation of the digital clock according to the invention will be explained below.
Wie aus der Zeichnung ersichtlich, handelt es sich bei der Erfindung im wesentlichen um eine gebräuchliche digitale Armbanduhr 1, die eine dreizeilige Anzeige 2, 3, 4 aufweist. In der obersten Zeile ist die aktuelle Uhrzeit abzulesen. Die Zusatzfunktionen lassen sich wie folgt einstellen: Stillzeit einstellen: Bei Beginn des Stillvorgangs wird auf Knopfdruck (Stillzeit/Set) 5 im Normalmodus unterhalb der aktuellen Uhrzeit in der mittleren Zeile 3 der Zeitpunkt des Stillbeginns angezeigt. Gleichzeitig beginnt in der untersten Zeile 4 im linken Feld 6 das Intervall seit Beginn des Stillens mitzulaufen (Differenz zwischen aktueller Uhrzeit und Still-Beginn). Ist die aktuelle Uhrzeit z.B. 10.50 und wurde um 10.30 zu stillen begonnen, dann werden in der obersten Zeile 2: 10.50, in der mittleren Zeile 3 10.30 und in der untersten Zeile 4 20 (Minuten, die seit Beginn des letzten Stillens vergangen sind) abgelesen. Das gibt - wenn gewünscht - auch Auskunft darüber, wann auf die andere Brust gewechselt werden soll.As can be seen from the drawing, the invention is essentially a conventional digital wristwatch 1, which has a three-line display 2, 3, 4. The topmost line shows the current time. The additional functions can be set as follows: Set breastfeeding: At the start of the breastfeeding process, pressing the button (Lactation / Set) 5 in normal mode below the current time in middle row 3 displays the time of breastfeeding. At the same time begins in the bottom line 4 in the left field 6, the interval since the start of breastfeeding with running (difference between current time and quiet start). For example, if the current time is 10.50 and has begun to quench at 10.30, then the top line reads 2: 10.50, the middle row 3 reads 10.30, and the bottom line reads 4 20 (minutes that have elapsed since the last breastfeeding session) , This gives - if desired - also information about when to switch to the other breast.
Sobald man per Knopfdruck (Stillzeit/Set) 5 den Zeitpunkt des Stillbeginns festgehalten hat, beginnen in der mittleren Zeile 3 rechts und links neben der Stillzeit die Symbole L und R zu blinken, um die Mutter zu erinnern, dass sie am Ende des Stillvorgangs per Knopfdruck (L/R/Adjust) 7 festhält, an welcher Brust das Baby zuletzt getrunken hat.As soon as you press the button (Lactation / Set) 5 the time of the start of breast-feeding has begun, in the middle line 3 right and left of lactation, the symbols L and R start flashing to remind the mother that at the end of breastfeeding Pressing the button (L / R / Adjust) 7 remembers on which breast the baby last drank.
Alarm einstellen: Anzeige in der untersten Zeile 4 im rechten Feld 8, Einstellung und Funktion wie bei jeder gebräuchlichen Digitaluhr. So kann die Mutter, wenn sie z.B. ohne das Kind einkaufen geht, daran erinnert werden, dass nun bald wieder Stillzeit ist.Set alarm: display in the bottom line 4 in the right field 8, setting and function as with any common digital clock. Thus, if the mother, e.g. Without the child shopping goes, to be reminded that breastfeeding is soon again.
Zusätzlich zu den Betätigungsorganen 5 (Stillzeit/Set) und 7 (L/R/Adjust) weist die erfindungsgemäße digitale Armbanduhr noch zwei weitere, am Uhrengehäuse angeordnete Betätigungsorgane auf, nämlich zur Modusauswahl 9 und zur Beleuchtung 10.In addition to the actuators 5 (breastfeeding / set) and 7 (L / R / Adjust), the digital wristwatch according to the invention has two further, arranged on the watch case actuators, namely the mode selection 9 and the lighting 10th
Die erfindungsgemäße Stilluhr stellt ein einfach zu bedienendes, verläßliches Hilfsmittel für stillende Mütter dar, die Dauer des Stillvorganges zu überprüfen, an den nächsten Stillzeitpunkt zu erinnern und gleichzeitig anzugeben, von welcher Brust zuletzt gestillt wurde. The nursing clock according to the invention provides an easy-to-use, reliable aid for nursing mothers to review the duration of the breastfeeding process, to remind of the next breastfeeding and at the same time indicate which breast was last breastfed.
