Abstract
A visual indicator display device includes a bracelet, a transparent capillary chamber, and a displacement member. The transparent capillary chamber is matched to an indicia and has a primary length and a width less than the primary length. The displacement member is functionally disposed at one end of the capillary chamber and is responsive to a measureable input for moving a fluid contained therein a defined amount.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is
1 - 33 . (canceled)
34 . A visual indicator display device comprising:
a bracelet adapted to be worn around an appendage of a wearer; a chamber at least partially visible to the wearer, for containing at least one fluid, the visible portion of the chamber being matched to an adjacent indicia for measuring, such fluid, the chamber having a primary length and a width. less than the primary length; and a displacement member functionally disposed at one end of the chamber which is responsive to a measurable input to move the fluid contained therein a defined amount.
35 . The visual indicator of claim 34 wherein the primary length is a circumferential length.
36 . The visual indicator of claim 34 wherein the width is a radial width.
37 . The visual indicator of claim 34 , wherein the primary length is a spline length.
38 . The visual indicator of claim 34 , wherein the bracelet is the chamber and the chamber is flexible.
39 . The visual display of claim 34 wherein the displacement member is a piston located at the first end of the chamber, the piston having a rear face and a front driving face to advance the fluids in the chamber in a first direction.
40 . The visual display of claim 39 further comprising a first flexible reservoir containing first fluid located between the front face of the piston and the first end of the chamber, where the reservoir is responsive to the piston to move the fluid in the chamber.
41 . The device of claim 34 , wherein the displacement member activates a flexible diaphragm to move the fluid contained therein a defined amount.
42 . The device of claim 34 , wherein the chamber is a capillary chamber.
43 . The device of claim 34 , wherein the chamber is transparent.
44 . The device of claim 39 , wherein the piston is flexible.
45 . A visual indicator display device comprising:
a bracelet adapted to be worn around an appendage of a wearer, the bracelet comprising at least one half loop around the wearer in which an elongated drive is disposed, and a reservoir comprising at least one half loop around the wearer, the reservoir at least partially visible to the wearer formed to contain at least one injectible fluid, the visible portion of the reservoir being matched to an adjacent indicia for measuring such fluid; and a displacement member functionally disposed proximate one end of the reservoir and responsive to a measureable input for activating a member to move the fluid contained therein along the reservoir a defined amount.
46 . The device of claim 45 , wherein at least a portion of the elongated drive is made of NITINOL.
47 . The device of claim 45 , wherein the elongated drive includes a rack.
48 . The device of claim 47 , wherein the rack is a thread formed on an elongated portion of the elongated drive.Cited by (0)
