Abstract
Abstract The present invention concerns a system for the search for randomly classified objects such as documents which are provided with a classification code, and comprises a control device 1 which is to emit a signal corresponding to the code of the object being sought and at least one locating device 10, 20, 70 associated to each object, each locating device 10, 20, 70 being constituted by a memory device 11, 21, 71 wherein has been stored the code of the object and a comparison device 12, 22, 72 for the comparison of the code contained in the memory device with the code obtained from the signal emitted by the control device, and to emit a signal which controls a detection device 13, 23, 73 which is interdependent with the sought object.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
117 words
A system for the search for randomly classified objects, each object being movable and having a classification code, comprising a central control device for emitting a signal corresponding to the code of the object which is sought, an independent locating device fixed on each object and adapted to be connected with the control device whatever is the place of the object in a filing device, the locating device comprising a memory device wherein has been stored the classification code of the object, a comparison device for comparing the code contained in the memory device with the code obtained from the signal emitted by the control device and an indicator device operating upon coincidence of the two codes.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
117 words
A system for the search for randomly classified objects, each object being movable and having a classification code, comprising a central control device for emitting a signal corresponding to the code of the object which is sought, an independent locating device fixed on each object and adapted to be connected with the control device whatever is the place of the object in a filing device, the locating device comprising a memory device wherein has been stored the classification code of the object, a comparison device for comparing the code contained in the memory device with the code obtained from the signal emitted by the control device and an indicator device operating upon coincidence of the two codes.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
46 words
A system for the search for randomly classified objects as claimed in claim 1, in which the locating device also comprises a receiver device which is capable of transforming the signal coming from the control device into a code which is acceptable by the comparison device.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
63 words
A system for the search for randomly classified objects as claimed in claim 1, in which the control device comprises a data entry system adapted to enter the code of the object which is sought as well as the functions to be performed and a coder device adapted to transform the code as entered into a signal to transmit toward the locating device.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
24 words
A system for the search for randomly classified objects as claimed in claim 3, in which the coding device is constituted by a microprocessor.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
24 words
A system for the search for randomly classified objects as claimed in claim 1, in which the indicator device is a visible display device.
