Granted: 1912-09-19
Abstract: 27,697. Richon, A. Dec. 9. Burglar alarms. - Comprises an electric burglar alarm employing the principles of both the open and closed circuit simultaneously. The protective wires J, K are included in opposite arms of a Wheatstone bridge, and the wire J is in series with a relay coil C so arranged that the normal current is too weak to attract the relay armature Q. When, however, contact is established between the conductors J, K, the current flowing becomes strong enough to operate the relay, thus closing the alarm circuit a, b, b<1>, a' at Y. If either conductor should be cut, the balance of the bridge is disturbed, and the pointer L of the galvanometer is deflected against one of the stops P so as to close the same circuit. The relay magnet S being thus energized, the armature T is attracted so as to release the tongue V which, under the influence of the spring R, closes at X a circuit through the bell Z and battery A. The armature T may at the same time actuate the bolt W so as to close a lamp circuit.
