Abstract: 16,324. Fuller, M. H. July 13. Burglar and theft alarms.-A jewel-box, safe, dressing-case, &c. is provided with mechanism whereby any attempt to lift, move, or open it causes an alarm to be sounded. The box a has a hinged lid b and a bottom c, which is capable of falling out to a limited extent. The inward motion of the bottom is limited by a frame d, which is fixed inside the box and serves to support a false bottom e. The bottom e carries a battery f, an electric bell h, and an insulating block k. The block k supports a fixed contact m and a spring contact l, which can be moved out of contact with m by a lever n pivoted to the block k and having an end projecting through a slot in the false bottom e, whereby the alarm may be set or put out of action. The block k also carries an insulating arm p hinged to it at q and pressed upwards by a spring. This arm p has a conducting-strip r, to one end of which is attached a chain or wire t passing through a ring u carried by the block and supporting a metal ball s below the ring. At its hinged edge the lid operates a contact i, which closes the circuit when the lid is opened, and thus rings the alarm if the contacts m, l are closed. If an attempt be made to lift the box, the bottom e is lowered, thereby allowing the arm p to be raised by its spring so as to bring the ball s into contact with the ring u, thus closing the circuit and ringing the alarm. Any other movement of the box causes the ball to swing and make contact with the ring by means of the chain t. A modification is described in which the opening of the lid also closes the contact through the ball and ring.
