Title: Automatic Electric Burglar Alarm, Working by the Opening or Short Circuiting of its Protective Circuit, and Fed by a Double Circuit Connected to the Two Terminals of a Single Battery Producing a Constant Current.
Inventor: BASUYAU HENRI CHARLES
IPC: G08B13/12
Filed: 1911-07-26
Granted: 1912-07-26
Abstract: 17,086. Basuyau, H. C., and Leroux, V. A. July 26. Burglar alarms.-Two layers of conducting- material, separated by an insulating-sheet, are placed in the wall &c. to be protected and are arranged in a circuit so that an alarm is given when either of the layers is cut or when the layers are electrically connected. The conducting-layers consist of strips A1, B1, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, fixed on sheets of paper. The sheets are superposed so that the layers are insulated from one another and are connected in circuit as shown in Fig. 4. The apparatus is set for use by depressing the key M, thus completing a circuit from the battery 0 over the contacts G2, G1, and the strip B, the relay R, the contacts of the key M, the battery L, the strip A, back to the battery O. The armature of the relay R closes contact at E, thus substituting a permanent path for that over the key M and battery L in the above circuit. If the wall &c. is pierced by a tool so that the strips are electrically connected, the relay R is short-circuited and de-energized, and an alarm circuit is closed for the battery L over the relay C and contact V. The contacts F1, F2 of the relay C bring the bell S into circuit. If one of the strips is cut, or the battery 0 becomes exhausted, the relay R is similarly de-energized and the alarm is given. The conducting-layers may be in the form of leaves or plates instead of strips.
