Abstract:
1. A window with built-in devices powered by light that senses carbon monoxide and opens by itself to release dangerous levels of concentrated carbon monoxide from an enclosed area, comprising: a primary jamb device 12 suitable to be installed in any home/building walls; an universal window sash device 14 that comprises a glass pane device 19 or a full variety of designs and types of pre-assembled windows device 21 ; a built-in latch/handle device 13 to lock close the universal window sash device 14 to the primary jamb device 12 ; a set of pivoted hinges device 15 to swing open the universal window sash device 14 attached to the bottom of the primary jamb device 12 ; a set of built-in springs device 16 to push and pop open the universal window sash device 14 when the latch/handle device 13 gets disengaged/unlatched; a set of holding brackets device 17 to hold in an open position the universal window sash device 14 after was pop open; a built-in carbon monoxide sensor device 2 to sense carbon monoxide comprising built-in lights: a green light for indicating that the sensor is in operable condition and a red light for indicating when a dangerous level of carbon monoxide is present; a test/reset button for testing or resetting the carbon monoxide sensor device 2 ; a built-in sound alarm device 3 to sound a warning alarm when dangerous levels of carbon monoxide are sensed; a built-in low voltage unlatch device 8 to unlatch the latch/handle device 13 ; a built-in normally open switching relay device 4 to switch-on the low voltage unlatch device 8 only when the sound alarm device 3 sounds, triggered by the carbon monoxide sensor device 2 after sensing a dangerous level of carbon monoxide; an accessible alarm contacts device 10 to optionally be connected to a central alarm station; a built-in normally open & normally close relay device 9 to trigger the accessible alarm contacts device 10 , only when the built-in low voltage unlatch device 8 is activated; a built-in independent set of rechargeable batteries device 5 a to power the carbon monoxide sensor device 2 , the sound alarm device 3 and the normally open switching relay device 4 ; a built-in independent set of rechargeable batteries device 5 b to power the low voltage unlatch device 8 and the normally open & normally close relay device 9 ; a built-in independent set of solar cells device 6 a to charge the independent set of rechargeable batteries device 5 a ; and a built-in independent set of solar cells device 6 b to charge the independent set of rechargeable batteries device 5 b ; two independent reverse diodes devices 20 a and 20 b to avoid discharging the rechargeable batteries devices 5 a and 5 b when light is not present; interconnections contacts device 22 to be able to inter-connect additional windows, to pop open all the inter-connected windows when any of the windows senses a dangerous level of carbon monoxide; a transparent color white water-resistant cover device 7 to protect the built-in electrical devices from the outside environment and to expose the solar cells device 6 a and device 6 b to the exterior light; a removable inside cover device 11 accessible from the interior side of the window to access and service the built-in electrical devices and replace the carbon monoxide sensor device 2 every five or seven years, depending in the type of carbon monoxide sensor device used; wherein when a dangerous level of carbon monoxide is sensed by the built-in carbon monoxide sensor device 2 , the built-in sound alarm device 3 will sound a warning alarm, and the built-in normally open switching relay device 4 will be powered, both activated by the carbon monoxide device 2 ; therefore the built-in normally open switching relay device 4 will switch-on the built-in low voltage unlatch device 8 mounted on the top of the primary jamb device 12 and it will unlatch the latch/handle device 13 attached on the top of the universal window sash device 14 ; therefore the universal window sash device 14 comprising the glass pane devise 19 or any of the variety of pre-assembled windows device 21 , will pop open, pressed/pushed by the set of built-in springs device 16 mounted between the universal window sash device 14 and the primary jamb device 12 , located on the upper sides of the devices 14 and 12 ; swinging open on a set of pivoted hinges device 15 , attached to the bottom of the primary jamb device 12 ; and hold open by a set of holding brackets device 17 attached on both sides between the primary jamb device 12 and the universal window sash device 14 ; the normally open & normally close relay device 9 , connected in parallel with the built-in low voltage unlatch device 8 will trigger the accessible alarm contacts device 10 ; that optionally may be connected to a private central station alarm company, to alert the Fire & Police Department of a dangerous carbon monoxide emergency and to provide immediate assistance to the endangered humans & animals and protect the opened residence; if someone intents to close the universal window sash device 14 while a dangerous level of carbon monoxide remain in the enclosed environment, the universal window sash device 14 with its attached devices 19 or 21 , will, not close/lock, until the sensed level of carbon monoxide becomes no longer dangerous to accomplish the purpose of this invention: the release of the accumulated carbon monoxide of the enclosed room/area; and prevent or minimize poisoning and death of humans & animals, without depending on any human physical action; any external power supply, or replaceable alkaline batteries; the window can be manually open and closed for regular use in normal conditions, without activating the accessible alarm contacts device 10 or triggering the alarm alert.
