Abstract (en)

[origin: GB2463717A] A baggage locator using a receiver unit 11 disposed on or within the baggage 10 and a separate transmitter unit 13. The receiver unit 11 receives an interrogation signal from the transmitter unit 13 and in response generates a locator signal to indicate the location of the baggage 10. The locator signal may be an audio signal which may be a beep. The time interval between beeps from the locator signal may increase as the transmitter unit 13 recedes from the receiver unit 11 and/or decrease as the transmitter unit 13 approaches the receiver unit 11. The locator signal may provide a display on the transmitter unit 13 based on the location of the baggage 10. The receiver unit 11 may be in the form of a tag which is releasably secured to the baggage 10 or the receiver unit 11 may be formed integrally with the baggage. The transmitter unit 13 may be hand-held.
