Abstract
An electronic athletic pacing device that couples to eye-wear, including swim goggles and sun glasses. The device includes LEDs that provide indications of the end of time intervals. Buttons and a display are used to configure the timer periods, modes, starting, stopping. The electronic module provides the timing, and controls the LEDs and provides and interval training mode that restarts a first timer at the end of the second timer interval time. The LEDs are positioned so that they are visible to an athlete wearing the eye-wear and configured to couple to the eye-wear nose piece.
Claims20
A electronic athletic pacing device comprising:
- a first LED;
- a means for generating user inputs;
- a display;
- an electronics module comprising a first timer, a means for controlling the first LED, a means to control the display, and a means to receive the user inputs;
- and
- an enclosure encapsulating the electronics module and the display, wherein the electronics module is coupled to the first LED, the means for generating user inputs, and the display, wherein the electronics module is configured to control the first timer to repetitively time a first time period, wherein the first LED is configure to be visible by an athlete wearing the pacing device when the pacing device is coupled to eye-wear, and wherein the electronics module is configured to generated a first indication with the first LED during each first time period.
- an enclosure encapsulating the electronics module and the display.
