Abstract: An object locating system comprising a first transmitter-receiver unit including a first transmitter for selectively transmitting a first and/or a second search signal, a first receiver for receiving a third search signal and a first signaling element coupled to the first receiver for issuing a first alarm when the third search signal is received by the first receiver; a second transmitter-receiver unit including a second transmitter for selectively transmitting the first and/or the third search signal, a second receiver for receiving the second search signal and a second signaling element coupled to the second receiver for issuing a second alarm when the second search signal is received by the second receiver; a receiver unit including a third receiver for receiving the first search signal and a third signaling element coupled to the third receiver for issuing a third alarm when the first search signal is received by the third receiver.

Abstract: An object locating system (10) usable by an intended user (11) for locating an object (44), the object locating system (10) comprising: a first transmitter-receiver unit (12) including a first unit transmitter (100) for selectively transmitting at least one of a first search signal and a second search signal, a first unit receiver (102) for receiving a third search signal and a first unit signaling element (104) operatively coupled to the first unit receiver (102) for issuing a first alarm perceptible by the intended user (11) when the third search signal is received by the first unit receiver (102); a second transmitter-receiver unit (14) including a second unit transmitter (100) for selectively transmitting at least one of the first search signal and the third search signal, a second unit receiver (102) for receiving the second search signal and a second unit signaling element (104) operatively coupled to the second unit receiver (102) for issuing a second alarm perceptible by the intended user (11) when th
