Abstract
An earthquake protection apparatus and a system thereof. The apparatus includes a U-shaped frame further including a plurality of rods to be attached around periphery of the bed. The apparatus also includes a reinforced material fixed with the rods. The material has a tensile strength enough to bear the weight and slide off any falling debris on any side of the apparatus due to the earthquake. The material is configured to fold and unfold respectively upon triggering of a plurality of motors linked to earthquake detection sensors within the apparatus.
Claims20
An earthquake bed protection apparatus comprising:
- a canopy frame;
- a reinforced material attached beneath the frame in a folded configuration in a rest state, and in an active state an unfolded configuration comprising a triangular canopy including,
- an apex of the triangular canopy at a position corresponding to a first end of a bed,
- a base of the triangular canopy at a position corresponding to a second end of the bed, and
- a sliding wall extending at a downward angle from the first end to the second end of the bed between the apex and the base;
- a sensor box comprising a plurality of sensors, a microcontroller, and an accelerometer;
- and
- at least two motors in proximity to the canopy frame and in communication with the sensor box and disposed in proximity thereto, the motors being anti-synchronized together to move the canopy frame from the rest state to the active state.

An earthquake bed protection system comprising:
- a bed;
- a canopy frame positioned around at least a portion of a periphery of the bed, the frame positioned to have a parallel axis with the bed in a rest state, and in a perpendicular axis to the bed in an active state;
- a reinforced material attached with or enclosed around the frame in a folded configuration in the rest state, and in an unfolded configuration comprising a triangular canopy including,
- an apex of the triangular canopy at a position corresponding to a first end of a bed,
- a base of the triangular canopy at a position corresponding to a second end of the bed, and
- a sliding wall extending at a downward angle from the first end to the second end of the bed between the apex and the base;
- at least two motors in conjunction with the frame, the motors being synchronized together to move the canopy frame from the rest state to the active state by movement in opposite directions;
- and
- a sensor box disposed in proximity to the motors, the sensor box housing one or more printed circuit boards and a plurality of sensors in communication with the motors.
