GORIX TALKING JACKET

The worlds first "Talking Jacket", aimed at firefighters, the jacket is a potential life saver. The secret of this warning system lies in the unique property of Gorix to change its electrical resistance subject to temperature.

Robert painted a chilling picture when interviewed by our reporter.

"Imagine that you are a fire fighter, working in a burning building, an intense fire breaks out behind you. The protective clothing that you are wearing is so efficient that you are unaware of the danger. The Gorix Sens-A-Strip system in the jacket responds to the sudden change of temperature and triggers a voice synthesiser alarm that is strategically positioned in the jacket. The fire-fighter is alerted to the danger and can take timely evasive action".

A set of sensory devices are arranged around the Gorix Alert Jacket, each sensor is precisely matched to the others. When one sensor detects an imbalance in temperature a trigger circuit activates a speech simulator positioned near the ear of the wearer, a secondary circuit activates a flashing LED that is positioned in the line of peripheral vision.
