Title:
PEN MODULE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003036673
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Pen-shaped modules (10) of the type widely used by health care personnel and other workers in sensitive environments, are provided with two separate pocket clips (16, 18) positioned in opposed spaced-apart relationship. Markings (15, 17) associated with each clip clearly identify one clip as "ON" and the other clip as "OFF". At least one of the clips performs electrical switching functions so that when the "ON" clip is fastened to the fabric (19) of a wearer's garment, the electronic module is activated; that is, the module is turned "on". In the alternative, when the "OFF" clip is attached to the wearer's garment, the electronic components of the module are deactivated; that is, the module is turned "off".
