The device in order to attract the attention of users, in particular for the ritual of muslims

摘要

The device is designed to attract the attention of users bound by successive obligations over time. It is characterised in that it includes a body 1 having a so-called "front" face 2, whose outside appearance evokes the obligations in question and which encloses a source of sound signals 13 whose meaning is related to the said obligations, in particular which are recorded, by means of a loudspeaker 15-16, a trigger having to cause the audible emission of these signals in preset sequences and a device for counting down time, intended to cause operation of the trigger at precise moments in official time in force at the place where the device is located, the body 1 and/or a base 6 with which it is made solid comprising means 8 having to cooperate with a stationary part, such as a fixed part of a construction, to give the said body 1 an orientation related both to the situation of the stationary part and to a geographical datum independent of the said situation. According to a particular embodiment, the device evokes the Islamic religion by including in particular the representation of a mosque entrance and two minarets 4 and 5. It must periodically broadcast calls to prayer, intoned by a muezzin, the device being arranged so that, in a given place, the people present at this place must necessarily turn towards Mecca when they stand towards the front face 2 of the device.
