Patent ID: 7385304

Claim:
A wind warning system, comprising: a) an alarm module configured to provide a audio signal; b) a power module in communication with the alarm module and providing power thereto; and c) a trigger module in signal communication with the alarm module and configured to trigger actuation of the alarm module, wherein the trigger module includes an electrically conductive protruding member in mechanical communication with the bias member; and d) a wind-speed sensor module in signal communication with the trigger module and configured to provide a signal to the trigger module when wind is detected having a speed higher than a predetermined threshold, wherein the wind-speed sensor module includes an adjustment device in mechanical communication with the bias member, wherein the adjustment device selectable adjusts a tension of the bias member, thereby altering a threshold, the wind-speed sensor module including: d1) a shaft member; d2) a fan rotatably and slidably coupled to the shaft member; and d3) a bias member coupled to the shaft member and in mechanical communication with the fan; e) a vertical shaft coupled to the shaft member; and f) a tower rotatable coupled to the vertical shaft member.
