Key fob with novel electro-mechanical means for key / phone locator applications
Abstract:
The invention is a novel keychain attachment (or key fob) that will be useful for communicating with a smart phone via Bluetooth. These devices, which are currently available commercially, are used for locating the owner's keys by emitting an audible sound when the owner touches a button on his/her cell phone. Such a device can also be used for locating the owner's phone by conversely sending a signal that will make the phone emit an audible sound. Because those devices are typically small and must include a tactile button, it is not currently possible to manufacture such a device in the form of an ornamental figure, such as an animal, a cartoon character, etc. This invention introduces a novel electromechanical mechanism for activating the required wireless functions in the key fob, while allowing the device to be manufactured in the shape of an attractive ornamental figure.
