Abstract: A key ring (160) is attached by a lanyard to part of an air craft. Upon the air crew ejecting a leash retains the pull pin (120) within the air craft to remove the pin from the housing (140). This activates a personal locator beacon. Removal of the pin (120) allows a plunger switch extending upwardly from the locator beacon to be released to activate the beacon.
Abstract: An alarm device 10 incorporates a sounder 11 and a strobe 12. The sounder and the strobe are controlled by a circuit board 17 that is located within a single flameproof housing 13. A pressure unit 23 produces the sound for the device with the sound passing through a sintered disc 24 into an upwardly and outwardly diverging cone 25 from the top of which the sound is reflected outwardly and downwardly within a dome 26. A ramp 27 then assists in reflecting and emitting the sound.
