I STURT PEEL WESTON of N° 23 Ditchling Rise in the Parish of Preston
Brighton, Sussex Bootmaker do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
AN APPARATUS CONSISTING OF A COMBINATION OF AN ELECTRIC ALARM BELL.
ATTACHMENT TO A HOOK OR PEG OR HOOKS OR PEGS USED FOR HANGING OR
SUSPENDING GOODS OR OTHER ARTICLES to be as follows:-
This invention consists of an apparatus consisting of a combination of an electric
alarm bell attachment so adjusted to a hook or peg or hooks or pegs used for
hanging or suspending goods or other articles so arranged that when any such goods
or articles are displaced or removed an electric contact is made which closes an
electric circuit in which an electric bell and battery are placed thus giving an
alarm by ringing the bell.
The manner in which I propose to effect this is as follows:
The hook or peg or hooks or pegs (which I hereinafter refer to as the hook) are
so constructed that the weight of the goods or articles placed thereon causes the
hook to move against the action of a spring or springs. The said spring or springs
when released from the weight of the goods or articles brings the hook or some
conducible material thereof, or some conductible material moved thereby or by the
said spring, into contact with another piece of metal or other conductible material
in connection with an electric battery and electric alarm bell so arranged as to
complete a circuit and setting up an electric current which causes the electric alarm
bell to sound.
The hook can be made of any convenient size or pattern or shape.

Bell Attachment to a Hook or Peg, or Hooks or Pegs, Used
for Hanging or Suspending Goods or other Articles.
I STURT PEEL WESTON of N° 23 Ditchling Rise in the Parish of Preston,
Brighton, Sussex, Bootmaker do hereby declare the nature of this invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention consists of an apparatus consisting of a combination of an electric
alarm bell attachment so adjusted to a hook or peg or hooks or pegs used for
hanging or suspending goods or other articles so arranged that when any such
goods or articles are displaced or removed an electric contact is made which closes
an electric circuit in which an electric bell and battery are placed thus giving an
alarm by ringing the bell.
The manner in which I propose to effect this is as follows:
Each hook or peg (which I hereinafter refer to as the hook) is so constructed
that the weight of the goods or articles placed thereon causes the hook to move
against the action of a spring or springs which may or need not be part of the
hook. The said spring or springs when released from the weight of any of the
goods or articles suspended on any one of the hooks brings such hook or some
conductible material thereof or some conductible material moved thereby or by the
said spring into contact with another piece of metal or other conductible material
in connection with an electric battery and electric alarm bell so arranged as to
complete a circuit and thus setting up an electric current which causes the electric
alarm bell to sound.
.
The hook can be made of any convenient size or pattern or shape.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of iny said
Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
1. A combination of a hook or peg and spring which when released from
the weight of any goods or other article suspended therefrom will automatically
effect contact with and close or complete an electric circuit thereby sounding an
electric bell.
