Abstract:

A locator apparatus is disclosed for assisting a parent, guardian, or other caregiver the ability to locate a child or other individual. To activate the locator apparatus, a transmitter would be activated which would emit radio waves of a specific wavelength. A radio wave receiver on the locator apparatus would pick up the radio waves emitted from the transmitter, causing a homing device on the locator apparatus to emit radio waves of a second specific wavelength. The radio waves of the second specific wavelength would be picked up a radio wave receiving and notification system which would be capable of pinpointing the location of the particular homing device (and the individual) being sought.
