A guide device for visually handicapped person which has a portable unit and a position indicator unit. The portable unit is carried by the visually handicapped person and includes a radio frequency signal oscillator. The position indicator unit is disposed to a desired place and includes a radio frequency signal receiver and a loud speaker.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The guiding device for visually handicapped person, according to the present invention, includes a portable unit and a position indicator unit.
The portable unit is equipped with a radio frequency (RF) signal transmitter for transmitting a RF signal.
The portable unit is carried by the visually handicapped person, say, in his pocket or his hand.
The position indicator unit includes a RF receiver for receiving the RF signal transmitted by the portable unit and a loud speaker responsive to the received RF signal for generating audible signal.
The position indicator unit is adapted to be disposed at an aimed place such as door of a hotel room and a seat in a train to which the visually handicapped person is about to get.
As mentioned previously, it is relatively easy for the visually handicapped person to get closer to the aimed place.
When he gets closer to the place, the RF signal transmitted from the portable unit is received by the receiver of the position indicator unit disposed at the aimed place and an audio signal is generated by the loud speaker.
He can get the aimed place exactly by means of the audio signal.
