Definitions

  • the invention relates to a thumb mountable device for holding equipment required by the wearer.
  • the invention has particular, but not exclusive application, in the sports industry where the equipment being held by the device includes some form of information display.
  • Heart rate monitors blood pressure monitors, sports watches and the like are commonly worn by athletes and/or exercise enthusiasts so that they can monitor various particulars during the performance of an activity. For example, some athletes endeavour to maintain their heart beat within a specific heart rate range whilst they exercise. Accordingly, they need to constantly be advised of their current heart beat rate so that they can adjust their effort level and maintain the desired heart beat rate. Other athletes are interested in knowing the distance they have travelled or the number of calories they may have used to a particular point in time.
  • monitors currently available to measure particulars of interest to an athlete are of the sort that are worn on the wrist or are attached to the body of the athlete or to their clothing.
  • a significant drawback of these types of monitors is that viewing the display of the monitor whilst actually exercising is often quite difficult. Accordingly, the athlete may need to adjust the positioning of the monitor or twist or bend his body so as to better sight the information display. This not only detracts from the performance of the athlete but may, in some circumstances, actually be quite dangerous.
  • the distraction associated with removing a hand from the handle bar and taking his eyes off the path he is travelling could result in a collision or the cyclist driving off the path.
  • the distraction of having to adjust the positioning or function of a monitor whilst running could result in the runner tripping or twisting an ankle.
  • US patent 6,745,069 describes an electronic wrist-worn device such as a heart rate monitor or a diving computer.
  • the wrist-worn device includes multiple information displays so that the wearer can view displayed information from one of the information displays during exercise without the need to bend or turn the arm.
  • the actual displays are necessarily quite small, making the displayed information difficult to read, especially when swimming or running.
  • the inclusion of multiple information displays increases the cost of such a device.
  • Another prior art device includes a heart rate monitor in the form of a finger ring.
  • Such rings have a rigid construction. They are sized so as be positioned on one of the wearer's finger's proximal phalange so that they do not interfere with normal movement of the finger.
  • the functional size of the ring and hence the size of the information display it can contain is thus limited. This means that the displayed information is necessarily small in size, making it difficult to read.
  • Still another prior art device adopts the form of a glove having a heart rate monitor mounted thereon.
  • the display of such a device is mounted on the glove so that, in use, it is located on the back of the wearer's hand.
  • the display is difficult to sight when the wearer's hand is in certain positions. Additionally, the glove can restrict movement of the wearer's hand and fingers making it uncomfortable to wear and unsuitable for some sporting activities.
  • One aspect of the present invention aims to provide a thumb mountable device for holding equipment that can be positioned on the wearer's thumb and that does not substantially restrict normal thumb movement.
  • Another aspect of the invention aims to provide a thumb mountable device for holding equipment that can be positioned on the wearer's thumb in such a manner that an information display can be readily sighted by the wearer without the need to adjust the positioning of the device on the wearer's thumb and/or the need to twist or turn the wearer's body from a current activity position.
  • a thumb mountable device including a casing for holding equipment and a flexible body arranged to fit over a wearer's thumb, said casing being connected to said flexible body and wherein the flexible body flexes to allow the wearer substantially normal thumb movement when the device is located on the thumb.
  • a thumb mountable device including a casing for holding equipment, an information display for displaying information to the wearer and a flexible body arranged to fit over a wearer's thumb, said casing and information display being connected to said flexible body and wherein the flexible body flexes to allow the wearer substantially normal thumb movement when the device is located on the thumb.
  • the casing is connected to the flexible body so that in use it is located substantially above the metacarpal bone of the wearer's thumb.
  • the casing is also preferably located away from the metacarpophalangeal joint of the thumb.
  • the information display is positioned to enable the wearer to readily view the information being displayed whilst performing an activity without the need to adjust the positioning of the thumb for the primary purpose of viewing the information display.
  • the flexible body is preferably sized so as to extend substantially between the joint of the distal and proximal phalanges of the wearer's thumb and the carpometacarpal joint and is arranged to allow substantially normal movement of the wearer's metacarophalangeal joint.
  • the flexible body includes a tubular like portion through which the tip of the wearer's thumb can be passed and a longitudinal portion arranged to be positioned during use substantially over the metacarpal of the thumb.
  • the flexible body is preferably configured so that it is easily retained on the wearer's thumb without the need of any additional attachment devices.
  • attachment devices such as a belt, strap, hook and loop device, may be included to attach the thumb mountable display device to the wearer.
  • an underside portion of the longitudinal portion of the flexible body is arranged to be positioned in contact with the skin of the wearer's thumb in the area of the metacarpal.
  • the peripheral edge of the flexible body is preferably graded towards the surrounding skin of the thumb.
  • the casing is preferably made of a rigid or semi-rigid material so that it can protect the equipment contained therein from impact forces.
  • the casing may be formed in more than one part so as to allow it to be opened to facilitate servicing or, for example, battery change. Seal means may be provided to waterproof the casing and thereby prevent damage to the equipment or other items housed therein.
  • the information display is preferably mounted in or on the casing. However, it is envisaged that the information display may be separate from the casing and may also be flexible.
  • the thumb mountable device preferably further includes a function control.
  • the function control is preferably mounted in the flexible body and arranged to control one or more functions of the equipment held in the casing or one or more functions of remote equipment related to the equipment in the casing.
  • the function control is preferably sized so that it can be readily operated by the wearer during physical activity.
  • a thumb mountable device for holding equipment, said device including a flexible body arranged to fit over the wearer's thumb and allowing the wearer substantially normal thumb movement when the device is located on the thumb and wherein equipment is contained within at least one portion of the flexible body.
  • the equipment contained within the portion of the flexible body is electronic equipment.
  • Such electronic equipment may include an information display or any of the equipment discussed below.
  • the electronic equipment and/or information display is contained in the flexible body when it is initially moulded and thus a casing (as per the first and second aspects of the invention) is not required.

  • the thumb mountable heart rate display device 10 shown in the Figures includes a body 12 arranged to fit over a wearer's thumb 100, a casing 14 (best shown in Figures 6 and 7) for holding equipment, an information display 16 for displaying information to the wearer and a function button 18.
  • the line 19 (shown in Figure 7) schematically represents electronic components connecting the function button 18 to equipment in the casing 14. Such electronic components are preferably included within the body 12 when it is moulded.
  • the equipment held within the casing 14 includes a heart rate receiver 20 and a pair of batteries 22.
  • the heart rate receiver 20 receives data from a transmitter (not illustrated) attached to the user's chest. That data is processed by the heart rate receiver 20 and the user's heart rate is displayed on the information display 16.

  • the casing 14 includes a clear upper face through which the information display 16 can be viewed.
  • the upper face of the casing 14 may be arranged so as to magnify the information being displayed by the information display 16.
  • An ability to access the equipment within the casing 14 is desirable to enable, for example, the change of a battery 22, a repair to the equipment, or interchange of the equipment or information display for an alternative device. This ability may be achieved by fitting the equipment and/or the information display 16 within the casing 14 in a removable manner.
  • the casing 14 may be formed in two or more parts that can be separated to allow access to the equipment housed therein. This could be achieved by forming the casing 14 with a removable base that could be unscrewed or otherwise detached from the casing 14.
  • a seal (not shown) would be provided between the removable base and the casing 14 to provide water tightness. This is particularly desirable where the device 10 is used by a swimmer or where climatic conditions may be such that moisture can form within the casing 14, possibly resulting in damage to the equipment and/or information display 16 located therein.
  • the device 10 is configured so that during use it allows the wearer substantially normal thumb movement.
  • the body 12 has the ability to flex about a primary flex axis F. This enables the wearer to flex his thumb 100 from the position shown in Figure 1 to the position shown in Figure 2.
  • Axis F is shown in Figure 1.
  • the ability to flex about the primary flex axis F is achieved by making the body 12 from a flexible material, for example, a plastics or silicone/rubber material.
  • the body 12 of the device 10 would be shaped so as to match the resting position of the wearer's thumb 100. This resting position is that position of the thumb 100 depicted in Figures 1 and 3. Accordingly, the body 12 is preferably moulded from a flexible material, as a single piece, to the shape shown in Figures 1 and 3.
  • body 12 includes a tubular like portion 12a through which the tip of the wearer's thumb 100 can be passed and a longitudinal portion 12b arranged to be positioned during use substantially over the metacarpal of the thumb 100.
  • the tubular like portion 12a may adopt the form of a sock like portion that encases an end part of the wear's thumb.
  • the flexible body 12 is configured so that it is easily retained on the wearer's thumb 100 without the need for any additional attachment devices. This may be achieved, for example, by careful selection of the type, surface finish and thickness of the material of the flexible body 12. However, it is recognised that various different forms of attachment could otherwise be used to attach the display device 10 to the wearer.
  • a single circular band of flexible material the user stretches over the thumb 100 a long band to stretch around the thumb 100 and through a clasp and hook device similar to standard watches, a long band which stretches around the thumb 100 and clips onto a protrusion, a short band which stretches around the thumb 100 and fastens onto a hook or a convoluted flexible band to stretch over the thumb 100 or a stretchy "sock" that covers over the thumb 100 in a way similar to a glove.
  • the "sock” could be made of a thin plastics material.
  • an underside portion 12c ( Figure 6) of the flexible body 12 of the device 10 is arranged to be positioned in contact with the skin of the wearer's thumb 100 in the area of the metacarpal.
  • the periphery of the flexible body 12 is preferably graded or feathered to enhance contact with the skin during use.
  • the casing 14 is connected to the body 12 so that it is positioned away from the metacarpophalangeal joint A (see Figure 8) and above the metacarpal bone B of the thumb 100. Hence, movement of the metacarpophalangeal joint A is not restricted by the rigid casing 14 or the information display 16 that is mounted on the casing 14.
  • the information display 16 can be quite large in comparison to the information displays of some prior art devices because of the comparatively large width W of the longitudinal portion 12b of the body 12. Hence, the information being displayed on the information display 16 can be quite large and thus more readily viewed by the wearer.
  • Figure 1 also shows that the function button 18 is positioned between the metacarpophalangeal joint A and the joint C between the proximal P and distal D phalanges of the thumb 100. Hence, the function button 18 is positioned so that it does not restrict movement of the metacarpophalangeal joint A.
  • the function button 18 is arranged to enable control of the equipment within the casing 14 or remote equipment (not illustrated).
  • the function button 18 may be an on/off button that controls either equipment held in the casing 14 or remote equipment such as an associated chest strap mounted heart rate monitor. More than one function button 18 may be included and the positioning of such a button 18 may vary.
  • the positioning of the device 10 on the wearer's thumb 100 as described above and the positioning of the information display 16 is such that the information display 16 is more readily viewable by the wearer during activity than prior art devices.
  • This can be better appreciated by considering the example of a runner. A runner swings her arms in rhythm with her body as she runs, thereby maintaining balance and fluidity. She swings her arms in a forward motion arriving at a front limit of movement, the direction of movement of the arms then changes to a backward motion which also arrives at a rear limit of movement thereafter the arm begins to move forward again.
  • the thumb positioning of the device 10 means that it is constantly in the field of view of a cyclist. In the case of runners and swimmers, it regularly comes into the user's field of view by way of their natural running arm movement or arm stroke movement. Additionally, by falling regularly within the user's field of view
  • the information displayed by the device may be received by the wearer's eye in a subliminal fashion preventing the user from needing to consciously examine the device 10.
  • the information display 16 of the device 10 can be quite large in comparison to prior art devices because the space available on the longitudinal portion 12b of the body 12 of the device 10 is relatively large. Hence, a relatively large information display 16 can be provided without restricting movement of the thumb 100.
  • embodiments of the invention may offer different advantages/features to the wearer and may be constructed differently to achieve those advantages/features. For example:
  • a pair of devices according to an embodiment of the invention could be worn by the user, one on the right hand thumb and one on the left hand thumb.
  • Each device could have multiple modes/information types.
  • the left hand device may display heart rate, time and stopwatch modes, whilst the right hand device might display calories consumed, distance covered or steps taken modes.
  • two different sets of information can be displayed at any one time alleviating the need for the user to scroll through the device's modes. This may be particularly advantageous for a cyclist because it prevents the cyclist from having to remove his hand from the handlebars to display information of interest.
  • the use of two such devices may be advantageous for a swimmer.
  • One device could display heart rate, whilst the other device could display a stopwatch.
  • a device could have multiple modes/information types and mode changeover could be achieved by bringing the device to within close proximity of a chest strap transmitter causing the display mode to be changed from, for example, heart rate to stopwatch mode. Alternatively, mode changeover could be achieved by a predetermined movement of the device which is detected by a sensor or which otherwise initiates mode change. 3.
  • a device could be used in conjunction with a wrist-worn watch style data collector, sold to suit or as a set. The signal sent from the wearer's chest strap heart monitor to the device could also be picked up by the wrist-worn data collector and that data stored therein. The data stored on the wrist worn data collector could be analysed after the exercise to help improve the wearer's performance.
  • a device could be configured to have the ability to invert the display layout from the standard horizontal layout illustrated in the Figures to a vertical layout more suitable for cyclists. Activation of this feature may preferably be achieved by holding the device against or near the chest strap for a set period of time or by a predetermined movement of the device or the pushing of a button.
  • a device could be arranged so that the casing contains equipment such as a digital music player, communications equipment, payment method equipment etc.
  • the device would not necessarily include an information display but could be worn by the user during activity without restriction to normal thumb movement.
