Patent ID: 7385505

Claim:
A motion detecting system attachable to an object for enabling and disabling an alarm flow of an electric current from a power source operatively connected to said system for actuating, when said system is in an armed state established by an electric pulse provided by the power source, an alarm device operatively connected to said system, in response to a motion of at least one of the object, when said system is attached thereto, and said system, said system comprising: a plate having a substantially flat surface; a magnet freely pivotally mounted about a magnet pivot axis extending outwardly from said surface for generating a radially pivoting effective magnetic field that pivots with said magnet thereupon; a plurality of electrical contacts attached to said surface, at least one of said electrical contacts being an armed contact set and maintained in a first state by said magnetic field when the electric pulse occurs for establishing the armed state of said system, said armed contact in said first state disabling the alarm flow to the alarm device until said armed contact enters a second state, in which the armed contact enables the alarm flow, upon disengaging from said magnetic field when said magnet pivots away from said armed contact in response to the motion; a timing device operatively connected to the power source and the alarm device for maintaining the alarm flow from the power source to the alarm device for maintaining actuation thereof for a pre-determined period of time; and wherein said timing device causes the electricpulse to be transmitted again after said pro-determined period of time has expired for setting at least one of said electrical contacts as said armed contact, thereby deactuating the alarm device and reestablishing the armed state of said system.
