BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] According to the World Health Organisation's (WHO) studies and research done by several medical institutes state that depression ranks among the ten leading causes of disability. Depression is a type of mood disorder that affects many people. Clinical signs, such as depression, mental slowness, interest waning, and suicide, might emerge in severe patients. Unipolar depression (endogenous depression hurdle), two-way depressive disorder, dysthymia (depressed neurosis), and physical sickness are among its classifications. Patients with depression, psychosis, and depressive retardation. In modern day to day lifestyle people often gets stressed due to various reasons for example work, competition and any kind of loan competition. Suicide is linked to psychological issues such as depression and genetic variables, as well as life satisfaction, stress, and maladjustment. To manage stress from ordinary life and sustain psychological health on its own, active prevention and intervention are essential, so as to avoid transient suicidal thoughts or crisis.
[0003] Existing suicide prevention devices are either wearables over body part of a person or uses Artificial Intelligence camera to identify self-harm or suicide attempts and notifies to nearby person and generate alerts or some kind of audio suggestions to prevent user, but existing devices are failed to physically prevent user from performing hanging suicide attempt, hence incapable of providing proper safety to user.

[0022] Referring to Figure 1, an isometric view of an anti-suicide ceiling device that comprises a telescopic rod which include multiple tubular members that are nested in each other in descending order i.e. from larger diameter tubular member to smaller diameter tubular member. It is to be noted that, each member is tubular in nature and the member is made of material that are selected from but not limited to, steel, iron, aluminum, tungsten, carbon steel, zinc, or any other combination thereof.
[0023] The telescopic rod 1 has a first 9 and second end 10 i.e. upper end 9 and lower end 10. The upper end 10 of the rod 1 is connected with a ceiling via a hook and lower end 9 is coupled with a ceiling fan 2 i.e. to be more specific a housing of the fan 2. An opening is sculpted on the tubular members of the rod 1 in a way such that the opening provides a lateral slot for a threaded hook 3. The threaded hook 3 passed through the opening in order to engage all the tubular members that recites in the rod 1 that aids in keeping the telescopic rod 1 in locked/retracted position. The hook 3 is engraved with threads and is preferably made of material that are selected from but not limited to, iron, steel, aluminum, zinc, or any other combination thereof.
[0024] In an embodiment, a motorized pinion gear 4 is coupled with the rod 1 i.e. to the outer periphery of the largest tubular member via attachment means that includes but not limited to a bracket, nut and bolts along with clamp. The motorized pinion gear 4 is having a circular wheel like structure carved with teeth's formed over outer periphery of the gear 4. The gear 4 is positioned near the

hook 3 and the teeth of the gear 4 meshed with the threads of the threaded hook 3. The pinion is coupled with shaft of a motor 6 and the shaft is connected the pinion in order to rotate the shaft in clockwise or anticlockwise direction. The motor 6 is selected from but not limited to, Alternating Current (AC) motor or Direct Current (DC) motor.
[0025] A load cell 5 is coupled with upper end 10 of the rod 1 as shown in fig 1. The load cell 5 adapted to measure mechanical force i.e. mainly the weight applied over the rod 1. The load cell 5 is configured to detect the weight applied load over the rod 1 above a threshold value. The load cell 5 is preferably an electronic load cell 5. In one case, the threshold value is 10 Kilogram (kg), if the load cell 5 detects more than 10 Kilogram (kg) load, then the load cell 5 generates a signal to a microcontroller. The microcontroller is embedded on a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) and installed in a housing 11 which is coupled with the road as shown in fig 1. The housing 11 creates space for the other components of the present embodiment. The components include but not limited to, the PCB and a communication module.
[0026] The load cell 5 may be a strain gauge load cell 5 and the strain gauge load cell 5 is a type of load cell 5 where a strain gauge assembly is positioned inside the load cell 5 casing to convert the load acting on them into electrical signals. The weight on the load cell 5 is measured by the voltage fluctuation caused in the strain gauge when it undergoes deformation. The microcontroller is selected from but not limited to, Advanced Rise Machine (ARM), Alf and Vegard Rise (AVR), Qualcomm snapdragon, and Mixed Signal Processor (MSP). The microcontroller includes a memory. The memory may be a Random Access Memory (RAM), Read Only Memory (ROM) or both. The memory may include various instructions. The instructions may comprise code from any suitable computer-programming language, including but not limited to, C, C++, C#, Visual Basic, Java, Python, Perl, and JavaScript.

[0027] When the microcontroller receives signal from the load cell 5 (i.e. upon detecting weight applied over rod 1 more than threshold value), the microcontroller activate the motor 6 in order to rotate the pinion in a controlled manner. As the pinion rotates, the pinion translates rotation motion to the hook 3 by meshing with teeth's and removes the hook 3 by translating rotational motion from the opening. As the hook 3 removes from opening and it allows extension of the rod 1 i.e. telescopic members that results in dropping the person attempting hanging from the height and touching to the ground surface to avoid any miss happening, thereby limiting a person from hanging in support of the fan 2. The movement of the pinion takes out the hook 3 from the telescopic rod 1 thereby the tubular members extends the rod 1 length (i.e. extension of the tubular members) and allowing the person trying to hang himself/ herself to touch the floor. Due to gravitational pull of user/person attempting suicide by hanging on the fan 2 gets touched to the floor.
[0028] The communication module internally connected to the microcontroller and paired to a server over a network and the server pre saved with contact numbers and images of authorized person designated by a user.
