Abstract:
An alarm device comprising a combination of a main body and a flexible cord, the alarm device being characterized by that: the main body comprises a pair of face plates extending in parallel to each other, an electric circuit for generation of audible alarm including a power source and an on/off switch, said electric circuit being arranged in a cavity formed between the pair of the face plates, and a supporting mechanism for detachably holding the flexible cord inserted into a gap defined between the pair of the face plates, wherein electric contact means of the on/off switch comprise a movable terminal normally biased by a spring and a stationary terminal with which the movable terminal is detachably engaged so that an audible alarm is generated when the movable and stationary terminals are engaged with each other under a biasing force of the spring and the electric circuit is closed, on one hand, and generation of the audible alarm ceases when the flexible cord is engaged directly or indirectly via an interposed member with the movable terminal and consequently the movable terminal is disengaged from the stationary terminal against the biasing force of the spring, on the other hand.
