    The invention relates to a portable sensor system provided with a garment and an electronic module, a garment for a portable sensor system and an electronic module for a portable sensor system.
    Portable sensor systems usually include an electronic module in which there is provided a printed circuit board provided with a control for the sensor system, which may also include a sensor, such as an optical bar code sensor. This electronic module must be fixed on a garment so that it is at all times embedded by the user. At the same time, the electronic module is the most expensive component of the sensor system.
    The garment itself may include a glove, and it is further known to provide a functional element on the glove. The functional element may be for example a switch which serves as input device of the electronic module. For this purpose, the functional element must be connected to the electronic module, more precisely to the printed circuit board inside the electronic module, by electrical or computer means. In addition, the electronic module and the frame must have a structural height as low as possible so that the hand of the user having the electronic module attached to the glove does not remain attached to objects.
    When the glove is a consumer item, such as the work glove of an assembly worker, it is changed every week or even every day. Thus, a firm connection with the expensive electronic module is out of the question, since the comparatively expensive electronic module should then be changed relatively often. For this reason, a mounting is provided on the glove, so as to fix the electronic module repeatedly and without tools in the frame and therefore on the glove. In this way, it is possible to manufacture the glove as a consumer article at low costs, while it is sufficient to acquire the electronic module once.
    However, here also, the portable sensor system wears, because due to the frequent change of the electronic module, the contact elements of the electronic module that connect the printed circuit board of the electronic module to the functional element of the garment and the opposing contacts housing wear out. The objective underlying the invention is therefore to provide a portable sensor system, a garment and an electronic module for a portable sensor system in which wear is reduced. The objective is achieved by a portable sensor system provided with a garment and an electronic module, the electronic module comprising a housing which defines a front face, a rear face, a lower face and an upper face of the electronic module, a printed circuit board provided in the housing and at least one contact element electrically connected to the printed circuit board, which is arranged at least partially on the underside, the garment comprising a glove, an electrical functional element and a mount fixed on the glove for the tool-less repeated fixing of the electronic module on the glove, wherein the frame comprises a housing space for accommodating the electronic module, provided with an insertion opening and an end in the direction of insertion, a bottom which delimits the housing space towards the glove, at least one antagonistic contact electrically connected to the functional element and a guide, said at least one counter-contact being provided at the bottom, wherein the electronic module can be inserted into the garment frame so that the electronic module can occupy two positions, and in the first position, said at least one contact element is spaced from the mount, and in the second position, said at least one counter-contact of the mount and said at least one contact element of the electronic module are in contact, so that the printed circuit board and the electrical functional element are connected. by computer means, in particular electrically, by means of said at least one contact element and said at least one counter-contact, and the guiding is carried out so that when fixing the electronic module on the frame, the electronic module crosses a predetermined movement path in which, during the transition from the first position to the second posi said at least one contact element performs a linear movement or a pivoting movement towards the bottom, with respect to said at least one counter contact. In this case, the linear movement can take place in particular perpendicularly to the bottom. It is also advantageous that said at least one counter-contact in the first position is spaced from the underside of the electronic module. In this case, by glove is meant, besides a complete glove provided with fingers, also other clothes for hands, such as a mitten or a fingerstall. Similarly, the glove can be made in several pieces. For example, the glove is a closely applied elastic work glove which must furthermore satisfy the work safety. To further extend the life of the glove, the glove can be provided with a reinforcing layer on its outer face, in the area of the functional element. The invention is based on the fact that in order to avoid wear on the contact element of the electronic module and on the counter-contact of the housing, it is necessary to prevent shear forces on the contact element or on the counter contact which especially when inserting the electronic module into the mount.
    With the guidance, a motion path is determined in which the fragile contact element or the fragile counter-contact of the electronic module does not first undergo friction and only during the transition in the second position, that is, that is to say during the final fixing of the electronic module on the frame, it comes into physical contact with the frame, more precisely with the antagonistic contact. In this way, the shear forces acting on the contact elements are minimized. In this case, the electronic module rests against the bottom of the housing in the second fixed position. The antagonistic contact and the contact element may be in the form of mechanical electrical contacts, in the form of inductive contact device and / or capacitive or in the form of antennas. In this case, the components of the inductive and / or capacitive contact device or the antenna may have a cover as an anti-wear protection.
    In this context, the term "being in contact", in addition to mechanical physical contacting, also other types of contacting particularly nonphysical contact, which allow information transmission, such as a contact by means of electromagnetic waves or by measuring variations in the physical properties of the contact element and / or the antagonistic contact.
    Preferably, the guide comprises at least one deflector which extends from the bottom into the accommodation space. In this case, said at least one deflector may extend over a major part of the width of the accommodation space and in particular be made in the form of an arete extending transversely to the direction of insertion. Thanks to the deflector, it is simply and economically prevented that the contact elements of the electronic module come into early physical contact with the frame.
    For example, the insertion direction extends substantially parallel to the bottom, which allows a particularly flat mode of construction of the frame.
    According to a design of the invention, the electronic module is engaged in the frame, in the second position, thanks to which a particularly safe connection is made which is easy to undo with the frame.
    In addition, the objective is achieved by a garment for a portable sensor system, comprising a glove, an electrical functional element and a mount fixed on the glove and intended to house the electronic module, the frame comprising a housing space for accommodating the housing. electronic module provided with an insertion opening and an end in the insertion direction, a guide, a bottom and at least one counter contact electrically connected to the functional element, in which the bottom delimits the space for housing towards the glove and said at least one counter-contact is provided at the bottom, the guide comprises a deflector which extends from the bottom into the accommodation space. Thanks to the deflector, the contact element of the electronic module, but also the antagonistic contact of the frame are protected against wear during insertion.
    Preferably, said at least one counter-contact is arranged completely below an imaginary plane which is defined by the bottom at the end of the accommodation space at the highest point of the deflector, seen from the glove, thanks it is ensured that the underside of the electronic module can not come into early physical contact with the counter-contact of the mount or that the contact element can not come into early physical contact with the mount. In this case, the plane adjacent to the highest point of the baffle is defined by a straight line which extends to the bottom at the end of the housing space transversely to the direction of insertion.
    For example, said at least one deflector is arranged between said at least one counter-contact and the end of the accommodating space, in the insertion direction, so that damage to the contact element of the electronic module by the deflector of the insertion of the electronic module into the frame is prevented.
    According to an alternative embodiment of the invention, the guide comprises at least one stirrup which delimits the housing space on the upper face, that is to say on the face of the housing space diverted from the glove. Thanks to the caliper, the electronic module can be securely held in the frame.
    Preferably, said at least one stirrup is arranged completely between said at least one deflector and the end of the accommodation space, in insertion direction, which ensures a simple insertion of the electronic module.
    According to another development of the invention, said at least one antagonistic contact is of the mechanical electrical contact type which is mounted at the bottom and / or resiliently suspended relative to the bottom, which ensures a reliable contact between the contact and the contact. contact element, even when shaking.
    According to a development of the invention, in the region of the insertion opening, the frame comprises a lever for separating the electronic module from the frame. In this case, the lever may be part of the guidance. Similarly, the lever can extend in the opposite direction to the insertion direction. Thanks to the lever, the manipulation of the portable sensor system is simplified because it can reduce the force required to separate the attachment or engagement of the electrical module in the frame. Simultaneously, it is thus possible to increase the force by which the electronic module is retried in the frame. Thanks to this, a secure fixing is allowed, the electronic module being able to be detached from the frame by one hand.
    In addition, the invention is achieved by an electronic module for a portable sensor system, comprising a housing which defines a front face, a rear face, a lower face and an upper face of the electronic module, a printed circuit board provided in the housing and at least one contact element electrically connected to the printed circuit board for connection with at least one mounting contact which is arranged at least partially on the underside, wherein the housing has a recess or projection which cooperates with the guide of the mount such that during the attachment of the electronic module on the mount, the electronic module travels a predetermined path of movement in which the at least one contact element performs a linear movement or a pivoting movement with respect to said at least one counter-contact, during the transition from the first pos ition to the second position. In this case, the underside of the electronic module is the face facing the glove when the electronic module is fixed on the glove. The rear face of the electronic module is the face that is inserted first into the frame during a planned use. In addition, the ridge between the front face and the bottom face can be beveled to facilitate insertion. Similarly, the electronic module may include a barcode scanner.
    Preferably, the recess or protrusion is arranged between the contact element and the rear face, so that during insertion, it is not necessary for the contact element to cross the deflector. clothing.
    For example, the recess is made so as to accommodate the deflector of the garment, so that the underside of the electronic module can rest completely against the bottom of the frame, which allows a fixing without play on the frame.
    According to a development of the invention, the recess is a groove extending transversely to the direction of insertion. In this case, "transversely to the direction of insertion" is preferably parallel to the rear face. In this way, manufacturing tolerances of the frame deflector can be compensated.
    For example, the contact element is shifted from the lower face to the upper face, further reducing wear on the contact elements. In this case, the entire connection zone of the housing can be shifted around the contact elements.
    According to another embodiment of the invention, said at least one contact element is integrally connected to the housing and movably to the printed circuit board. In this case, said at least one contact element may be an elastic contact that elastically contacts the printed circuit board or the contact element is connected to the printed circuit board by a cable. In this way, manufacturing tolerances of the printed circuit board or the housing can be compensated for and wear of the electrical connection between the printed circuit board and the at least one contact element can be prevented, for example during shaking.
    According to another development of the invention, the housing comprises at least one notch which extends from the rear face at least partially on the upper face. This notch may extend for example in the opposite direction to the direction of insertion at most until the recess. Said at least one notch cooperates with the bracket of the frame and serves for the secure attachment of the electronic module on the frame. Other features and advantages of the invention emerge from the following description and the accompanying drawings to which reference is made. The figures show: FIG. 1, a schematic view of the portable sensor system according to the invention provided with a garment according to the invention and an electronic module according to the invention; Figures 2a to c, a frame of a garment according to the invention, schematically in a view from above, in side view and in sectional view; FIGS. 3a to c, an electronic module according to the invention, schematically in bottom view, in side view and in longitudinal section; 4a, schematically the portable sensor system according to Figure 1 provided with the electronic module of Figure 2 and the mount of Figure 3 when inserted in a first position of the electronic module; FIG. 4b, schematically the electronic module and the frame according to FIG. 4a during the continuation of the insertion operation, the electronic module always being in its first position; Figure 4c, schematically the electronic module in a second position in which it is fixed in the frame; Figure 5a, an embodiment of the electronic module according to the invention, schematically in section; and Figure 5b, the electronic module of Figure 5a schematically in top view, the upper face of the housing is not illustrated.
    FIG. 1 illustrates the portable sensor system 10 provided with a garment 12 and an electronic module 14.
    The garment 12 comprises a glove 16, an electrical functional element 18, for example a push-button, a frame 20 and a cable 22.
    The frame 20 is illustrated in detail in FIGS. 2a to c and comprises a bottom 24 and two opposing contacts 26 which are arranged at the bottom 24. The antagonistic contacts 26 can be suspended elastically with respect to the bottom 24, they are made for example in the form of elastic contacts.
    The bottom 24 is fixed on the glove, for example by a hot glue, so that the entire frame 20 is fixed on the glove 16. For example, the bottom 24 comprises openings 25 which serve for the ventilation of the glove. the user's hand inside the glove 16.
    As shown in FIG. 1, the cable 22 which can also be fixed by hot glue on the glove 16 connects the electrical functional element 18 to the counter contacts 26 of the frame 20.
    The cable 22 may be a usual cable. However, it is also possible to imagine a cable 22 which is made in the form of a flexible printed circuit board or in the form of a printed sheet of conductive tracks.
    In addition, the mount 20 comprises a housing space 28 for the electronic module 14, in which the electronic module 14 can be inserted in an insertion direction R. In the embodiment shown, the insertion direction R s' extends substantially parallel to the bottom. In Figure 2a, the insertion direction extends downwards, in Figures 2b and c extends from left to right. The accommodation space 28 comprises an insertion opening 29 and a movement direction end R up to which the electronic module 14 can be inserted.
    The bottom 24 delimits the housing space 28 on its underside, that is to say on the side facing the glove 16.
    In addition, the mount 20 comprises a guide 32 which determines a movement path for the electronic module 14 during insertion into the frame 20.
    The guide 32 comprises two guide walls 34 which are arranged laterally beside the bottom 24 along the direction of insertion and which extend at least partially from the bottom 24.
    On the guide walls 34 is provided a respective stirrup 36 which extends from the guide wall 34 in the direction of the opposite guide wall 34. The stirrups 36 delimit the accommodating space 28 on the upper face, this is on the back side of the glove 16.
    The stirrups 36 extend from the end 30 of the accommodation space 28 in the direction opposite to the direction of movement R.
    In addition, the guide 32 comprises a deflector 38 which extends from the bottom 24 into the accommodation space 28.
    In the illustrated embodiment, the deflector 38 is in the form of an edge that extends transversely to the insertion direction R, covering substantially the entire width of the frame 20.
    Of course, one can also imagine other designs of the deflector, for example in the form of pins or individual grooves.
    The deflector 38 is arranged between the antagonistic contacts 26 and the end 30 of the accommodation space 28, in the insertion direction R.
    The height of the deflector 38 above the bottom 24 is chosen such that the counter contacts 26 are completely below an imaginary plane E which is defined by the highest point of the deflector 38, measured from the bottom 24, and by the line G at the bottom 24, at the end 30 of the accommodation space 28. The antagonistic contacts 26 are therefore completely between the imaginary plane E and the glove 16.
    In addition, at the end 30 of the housing space 28 are provided end walls 39 which extend from the guide walls 34 transversely to the direction of insertion R.
    In addition, there is provided a lever 40 on the frame 20, on the front face in the direction of insertion R, which extends from the bottom 24 in the opposite direction to the direction of insertion R. The lever 40 can be part guidance 32.
    The electronic module 14 is illustrated in FIGS. 3a to d. The electronic module 14 comprises a housing 42 which defines a front face 44, a rear face 46, a lower face 48 and an upper face 50 of the electronic module 14.
    A view of the lower face 48 is illustrated in FIG. 3. The lower face 48 is substantially planar, but in the embodiment shown, it comprises a connecting zone 52 which is offset from the rest of the lower face 48 towards the upper face 50. This is clearly visible in FIG. 3c.
    In the illustrated embodiment, the edge between the front face 44 and the lower face 48 of the housing 42 is made beveled.
    In the connection zone 52, there are provided in the housing 42 two contact elements 54 which are thus arranged on the lower face 48. They terminate flush with the housing 42, so as not to have drive surfaces for damage. In addition, in the connection zone 52, a groove recess 56 extends between the contact elements 54 and the rear face 46. The recess 56 has a shape complementary to the deflector 38, so that the The deflector 38 can be engaged almost completely in the recess 56. In addition, the recess 56 can extend transversely to the insertion direction R and substantially over the entire width of the housing 42. The recess 56 and the contact elements 54 are arranged and made to correspond to the deflector 38 or to the opposing contacts 26 of the frame 20 when the electronic module 14 is fixed in the frame 20.
    In the embodiment shown, "transversely to the direction of insertion" means parallel to the rear face 46.
    The housing 42 further comprises notches 58 which extend from the rear face 46 on the upper face 50 in a direction opposite to the direction of insertion R. The notches 58 are formed on the side of the upper face 50 and they have a distance from the lower face 48 which corresponds to the distance of the stirrup 36 of the frame 20 relative to the bottom 24 of the frame 20.
    In the illustrated embodiment, the notches 58 do not extend completely to the recess 56. Inside the housing 42 there is provided a printed circuit board 60 which is fixed by being decoupled from the housing 42 by means of For example, the printed circuit board 60 is clamped in the housing 42 by the resilient suspension 62. In addition, other components in the housing 42 may be provided which are not shown in the figure. 3c for the sake of clarity. The other components will be explained in detail later.
    In the illustrated embodiment, the contact elements 54 are made in the form of elastic contacts and integrally connected to the housing 42, and they are resilient with respect to the printed circuit board 60. In this way, the contact elements 54 are movably connected to the printed circuit board 60. Of course, it is also conceivable to connect the contact elements 54 to the printed circuit board 60 by means of a flexible cable.
    It can also be imagined that the contact element 54 and the counter contact 26 have antennas and a protective layer which protect the antennas from the outside.
    It is also conceivable to make the contact element 54 and the counter contact 26 in the form of an inductive and / or capacitive contact device. For this purpose, the counter-contact 26 as a component of the inductive and / or capacitive contact device may have an electrically conductive surface whose inductivity and / or capacity is modified when the electrical functional element 18 is actuated. The contact element 54 as a component of the inductive and / or capacitive contact device may then have parts of a detection device able to detect the variation of the inductivity and / or the capacitance of the conductive surface. Antagonist contact 26.
    The electrically conductive surface and / or the part of the detection device may be provided with a covering which protects them vis-à-vis the mount 20 or the electronic module 14.
    Figures 4a to 4c show different steps during the insertion operation of the electronic module 14 in the frame 20 on the glove 16. For the sake of understanding, the guide wall 34 is only partially illustrated.
    Figure 4a illustrates a first position during the insertion operation. In this first position, the electronic module 14 has been inserted by its rear face 46 first through the insertion opening 29 partially into the accommodation space 28. For this purpose, the first rear face 46 of the electronic module 14 between the two guide walls 34 and then the electronic module 14 has been positioned so that the lower faces of the notches 58 engage under the stirrups 36 of the frame 20.
    In this case, the lower face 48 of the electronic module 14 rests on the deflector 38 in such a way that the contact elements 54 do not come into engagement with a part of the frame 20 or that the antagonistic contact 26 does not come into contact with the lower face 48 of the electronic module 14. In particular, the contact elements 54 are clearly spaced from the antagonistic contact 26.
    This position is the first position of the electronic module 14.
    Now, the electronic module 14 is moved in the direction of insertion R, that is to the right with respect to the illustrations of FIG. 4, the electronic module 14 being inserted further into the accommodation space 28.
    In the horizontal direction with respect to FIG. 4, the electronic module 14 is guided by the guide walls 34 of the guide 32 in the vertical direction as well by the stirrups 36 as by the deflector 38. In this case, the stirrups 36 are slightly tensioned by the case 42.
    In this case, the lower face 48 of the electronic module 14 extends over the deflector 38. In this way, the guide 32 determines a path of movement of the electronic module 14.
    In this case, the movement trajectory extends substantially parallel to the insertion direction R and thus substantially parallel to the bottom 24 until the position illustrated in FIG. 4b is reached. This position always corresponds to the first position of the electronic module 14, because the contact elements 54 of the electronic module 14 are always spaced from the frame 20, in particular the counter contacts 26. The recess 56 of the electronic module 14 is now directly In front of the deflector 38. When the electronic module 14 is now moved a little further in the direction of movement R, the recess 56 and the deflector 38 are located one above the other. At this moment, the electronic module 14 is moved towards the bottom 24 by the stirrups 36 which were previously prestressed by the gap between the lower face 48 of the electronic module 14 and the bottom 24.
    Thus, the contact elements 54 which are now above the antagonistic contacts 26 are moved towards the bottom 24, thus towards the antagonistic contacts 26.
    In the illustrated embodiment, this movement is a pivoting movement about a pivot axis G (FIG 2c) at the end of the bottom 24 which simultaneously defines the plane E.
    It is also conceivable to carry out the guide 32 so that this movement is a linear movement, for example perpendicular to the bottom 24 and / or perpendicular to the direction of movement R.
    Now, the electronic module 14 has arrived in the position shown in FIG. 4c and it is in its second position. The contact elements 54 touch the opposing contacts 26 and the electronic module is firmly retained on the frame 20 by the stirrups 36.
    In the case where the contact element 54 and the counter-contact 26 are made in the form of antennas or in the form of an inductive and / or capacitive contact device with corresponding overlaps, the overlaps of the counter-contact 26 and the contact 54 can touch, in the second position.
    The movement in the second position can also be considered as a latching movement, the deflector 38 being inserted into the recess 56, so that the electronic module 14 comes to engage the mount 20. When it is engaged, it there is an audible noise, which signals to the user that the electronic module 14 is securely latched into the mount 20.
    In the second position, the printed circuit board 60 is connected to the electrical functional element 18 via the contact elements 54, the counter contacts 26 and the cable 22, by computer means, in the electrically illustrated embodiment.
    In order to separate the electronic module 14 from the mount 20, the lever 40 can be pushed towards the glove 16, the engagement being disengaged because the deflector 38 is guided out of the recess 56. Now, the module can be removed. electronic 14 out of the accommodation space 28.
    However, the electronic module 14 can be removed from the frame 20 also in directions other than that opposite to the insertion direction R. Above all, this increases the safety of the portable sensor system 10.
    For example, the electronic module 14 can also be removed upwards. In this case, the guide walls 34 are bent outwards and the stirrups are bent upwards, whereby the electronic module 14 is removed from the mount 20. This serves to protect the user of the system. sensor 10 when high forces act, which could impede the hand of the user.
    However, the electronic module 14 can not be removed from the frame 20 in the direction of insertion R, because during use, jerks can act regularly on the electronic module 14 in the insertion direction R. This is prevented by closing walls 39.
    Figures 5a and 5b show an embodiment of the electronic module 14 in detail. The electronic module 14 shown, in particular the components used and their arrangement inside the housing, allow a particularly compact embodiment, in particular flat.
    This electronic module 14 further reduces the wear of the portable sensor system 10 and increases the service life. However, the electronic module 14 and its details are inventive also independently.
    The housing 42 of the electronic module 14 comprises two housing parts 42.1 and 42.2 which can be each made in one piece.
    The rear housing portion 42.1 includes the rear face 46 of the housing 42 and portions of the upper face 50 and the lower face 48, while the front housing portion 42.2 includes the front face 44 of the housing 42 and the other portions of the housing. the upper face 50 and the lower face 48. The two housing parts 42.1 and 42.2 are connected to each other along a seam 64, for example by several screws.
    Thus, the seam 64 passes through the upper face 50, the lower face 48 and the side faces of the housing 42, whereby the length of the seam 64 is as small as possible. Since dust and moisture can penetrate through the seam of a housing, the short dimension of the seam 64 provides a reduction in the wear of the electronics module 14 by dust or moisture, as well as increased life expectancy.
    In addition, thanks to a short seam 64, it is possible that only two screws for the sealed connection of the housing parts 42.1, 42.2 suffice. In this case, the holes for the screws can start from the notches 58. Inside the housing, in addition to the printed circuit board 60, an antenna 70, a battery 72, a battery envelope 74, a vibrating motor are provided. 76 and an optical detector 78. In the embodiment shown, these components are arranged between the printed circuit board 60 and the upper face 50.
    The optical detector 78 is for example a barcode scanner. However, the optical detector 78 and the vibrating motor 76 can also be replaced or supplemented by other electronic components or they can be omitted, depending on what are the desired functionalities of the electronic module 14. At the front end of the printed circuit board 60, the optical detector 78 is arranged which is electrically connected to the printed circuit board 60. Through openings in the front case portion 42.2, the optical detector 78 can detect objects in front of the electronic module.
    However, the front case portion 42.2 may also be made of a transparent material. In this way, openings in the front face 44 of the housing 42 can be dispensed with, so that a smaller amount of dust and moisture can enter the housing 42, and the service life can be increased.
    In the illustrated embodiment, the contact elements 54 are provided below the optical detector 78 and are sealingly attached in the front housing portion 42.2. Similarly, other contact elements 80 can be provided in the connection zone 52 via which the battery 72 can be charged.
    The vibrating motor 76 is fixed directly on the printed circuit board 60. The antenna 70 is designed for frequencies below 1 GHz, in particular 915 MHz and / or 868 MHz, and it can be made of a thin steel, for example by cutting in a thin steel sheet. In this case, "thin" means a thickness of less than 3 mm, in particular less than 1 mm. The antenna 70 is arranged at the rear end of the printed circuit board 60 and can be attached to the printed circuit board 60 at both ends or by means of cables. The antenna 70 extends for example along the rear face 46 and / or the upper face 50 of the housing 42 to the front face 44, the antenna 70 being prestressed against the housing 42. For example, The antenna is tensioned when inserted into the rear housing portion 42.1. In this way, it is possible to provide as large a distance as possible between the antenna 70 and the other electronic components, in particular the battery 72, whereby the transmission quality of the antenna 70 is improved.
    One can also imagine integrating the antenna 70 in the housing 42, in this case in the rear housing portion 42.1. This can be done for example by overmolding the antenna 70 with the material of the corresponding housing portion 42.1, 42.2, to manufacture the housing portion 42.1, 42.2.
    The battery 72 is surrounded by a battery envelope 74, for example on its rear face, upper or lower, whereby one recompenses manufacturing tolerances and deformations of the battery 72. The battery envelope 74 can also be based on another component, on its side diverted from the battery 72, for example on the vibrating motor 76, which reduces the space requirement and the battery 72 is nevertheless protected against damage by this other component. The battery casing 74 may be made of a plastic tape which is folded around the battery 72. The plastic is preferably elastic and / or preloaded in the direction of the upper face 50 of the casing 42.
    Virtually all of the space between the printed circuit board 60, the antenna 70 and the vibrating motor 76 can be occupied by the battery 72, including the envelope 74, which makes it possible to obtain such a large battery 72 as possible and therefore long lifetimes of the electronic module 14. The antenna 70 is thus arranged partially between the battery envelope 74 and the upper face 50 of the housing 42. In this case, due to its prestressing, the envelope The battery 74 may also bias the antenna 70 by a force towards the upper face 50, so that the distance between the antenna 70 and the battery 72 is enlarged.
    In order to mount the electronic module 14, the antenna 70, the battery 72, the envelope 74, the vibrating motor 76, the optical detector 78 and other electronic components optionally provided on the printed circuit board 60 are arranged, and or they are connected to it.
    Then, the housing portions 42.1 and 42.2 are threaded around the thus-equipped circuit board 60, and the printed circuit board 60 is tightened in the housing portions 42.1, 42.2.
    In this case, the printed circuit board 60 is brought into contact through the contact elements 54 fixed in the first housing portion 42.2. If the contact elements 54 are made in the form of elastic contacts, it is not necessary to solder the contact elements 54 and the printed circuit board 60.
    In addition, portions of the antenna 70 and / or the battery envelope 74 can be bent during the threading of the rear housing portion 42.1 towards the battery 72, and thus tensioned.
    Then, the two housing parts 42.1, 42.2 are screwed to one another.
    The finished electronic module 14 can then be put into place in the frame 20 of a garment 12 described previously. Thus, the functional element 18 is integrated in the electronic circuit of the printed circuit board 60. In the case where the functional element 18 is designed as a push button, it can be used to trigger, for example, the optical detector 78. .
