CURTAIN AS BURGLAR ALARM
Electrical Device Successfully Tested
by Police Authorities of Berlin
and Dresden.

An electric burglar alarm from
Dresden has been tested thoroughly
by the police authorities of Dresden
and Berlin. The most experienced
experts we're unable to find flaws in
the apparatus or to enter into the pro
tected premises without starting the
alarm. The appliance is exceedingly
simple. 1t consists of a curtain or
portiere wired with fine conductors.
At certain places on the curtain are
affixed small metal knobs which are
connected with the wire conductors.
The curtain is then drawn across the
window or door, or around the safe,
and the slightest disturbance Of this
position Immediately breaks the cir
cult, as the metal knobs are thrown
out of contact with each other.
Should the. burglar notice the wires
and cut one or several thereof, the
breaking of the circuit would also
start the alarm. Any other attempt
to destroy the protecting curtain also
would be noticed. Amy curtain, un.
less made of fireproof material, would
also act as a fire alarm. The alarm
itself may consist Of a series Of bells
lights, or other electrical appliances,
This invention can be used to protect
doors, windows, safes. The curtains
forming the most conspicuous part Of
the device, can be designed and ar
ranged to suit individual taste.
