Abstract

The rosary unit permits the hands to remain free during useage and ensures that the prayer does not lose his place in the sequence in the event of interruption. The rosary unit is particularly suited to motorists and handicapped people. The rosary is enclosed in a box (1) with a suitable mounting to allow it to be fitted in a visible location. A push-button (3) on the top of the bow causes the next prayer symbol to be displayed in a window (4) facing the prayer. The sequence of prayer symbols can be stored either mechanically or electrically, for example on a rolled strip or in electronic memories. The push button operates either a mechanical or electrical device to advance the mechanical or electro-optical display. Remote operation is possible.

Description

La présente invention concerne un chapelet que l'on peut fixer à un support afin de garder les mains libres, tout en conservant la trace du déroulement de la prière. The present invention relates to a rosary which can be fixed to a support in order to keep your hands free, while keeping track of the course of prayer.

Les chapelets permettent de compter et d'égrener les différentes prières prescrites par la religion catholique, ou pat tout autre religion utilisant un chapelet. The rosaries allow to count and to give the different prayers prescribed by the catholic religion, or pat any other religion using a rosary.

Le chapelet classique, trs connu, comprend des grains enfilés en collier, de différentes couleurs, grosseurs, ou disposés à divers intervalles. Au passage, la main reconnait le grain et dicte la prier il est donc difficile de dire un chapelet en ayant les mains prises par un travail ou un handicap physique: de meme, il n'est pas possible de poser le chapelet entre chaque prière sans en perdre le fil. C'est en pensant, par exemple, au conducteur d'automobile, que le présent chapelet a été inventé. The classic rosary, very well known, includes grains threaded in a necklace, of different colors, sizes, or arranged at various intervals. By the way, the hand recognizes the grain and dictates to pray it is therefore difficult to say a rosary having the hands taken by a job or a physical handicap: similarly, it is not possible to place the rosary between each prayer without lose the thread. It is by thinking, for example, of the automobile driver, that the present rosary was invented.

Nous décrirons ici le chapelet catholique. Le principe est aisés adaptable à d'autres religions, l'adaptation consistant à modifier le programme des signes qui apparaissent devant le récitant. We will describe here the Catholic rosary. The principle is easy adaptable to other religions, the adaptation consisting in modifying the program of the signs which appear in front of the reciter.

Le chapelet objet de l'invention se compose essentiellement d'un boitier 1 que l'on peut fixer ou suspendre à un support par une patte appropriée 2 (à un volant, à une machine, au cou...). Sur les faces du boitier se trouvent les boutons de commande et les voyants-repères du chapelet. The rosary object of the invention essentially consists of a case 1 which can be fixed or suspended from a support by an appropriate tab 2 (to a steering wheel, to a machine, to the neck ...). On the sides of the case are the control buttons and indicator lights on the rosary.

Les boutons et voyants peuvent être disposés (d titre d'exemple non limitatif) de la marnière indiquée sur le plan. Entre le bouton de commandes 3 et les voyants 4, différentes variantes peuvent être installées: mécanique, électronique, optique... The buttons and indicators can be arranged (d by way of nonlimiting example) of the hinge indicated on the plan. Between the control button 3 and the indicator lights 4, different variants can be installed: mechanical, electronic, optical, etc.

Selon le système utilise, le voyant 4 peut laisser paraitre un ruban qui se déroule coup par coup sous l'action du bouton 3. Dans ce cas, le ruban porte les inscriptions, signes ou couleurs comparabl à celles d'un chapelet classique, les mieux étudiées pour aider à la prière. Depending on the system used, the indicator light 4 can let appear a ribbon which unwinds step by step under the action of the button 3. In this case, the ribbon bears the inscriptions, signs or colors comparable to those of a conventional rosary, the best studied to help prayer.

Le système peut etre aussi électronique, et les signes apparaitr sous forme de cristaux liquides, par exemple, selon l'évolution de la technologie. The system can also be electronic, and the signs appear in the form of liquid crystals, for example, according to the evolution of technology.

Il peut être optique, le ruban étant un film projeté et agrandi sur le voyant
La miniaturisation est possible, et le chapelet peut être suspendu comme un bijou.
It can be optical, the ribbon being a film projected and enlarged on the indicator
Miniaturization is possible, and the rosary can be hung like a jewel.

En cas de besoin (grand handicapé, par exemple) ce type de chapelet peut recevoir une commande à distance appropriée. In case of need (severely disabled, for example) this type of rosary can receive an appropriate remote control.

Quelle que soit la solution, le but du présent chapelet est de permettre de garder les mains libres entre chaque action sur le bouton de commandes, action que l'on effectue à la fin de chaque prière, faisant ainsi passer l'indication portée sur le voyant, à l'indication suivante, cette dernière demeurant affichée tant qu'elle n'est pas remplacée en actionnant à nouveau le bouton de commandes.  Whatever the solution, the purpose of this rosary is to allow you to keep your hands free between each action on the command button, action that is performed at the end of each prayer, thereby passing the indication on the LED, at the following indication, the latter remaining displayed until it is replaced by pressing the control button again.
