When anyone attempts to enter through the window opening, the slightest pressure of their weight will close the electrical switch causing the siren alarm to set off a 110 decibel signal. The battery and siren alarm assembly are mounted within a housing that is rigidly attached to the pressure actuated electrical switch assembly. There are no external wires visible to the naked eye.

Abstract: A utility belt formed from an elongated strip of plastic material having a predetermined length, width and thickness. The plastic material of the elongated strip has inherent torsion resistance to thereby prevent the belt from being twisted more than 90 degrees. The longitudinal flexibility of the elongated strip is such that it can be drawn around a person's waist to form a closed loop belt. Trim molding is attached to the peripheral edges of the elongated strip and it provides stiffening resistance to torsional twisting forces. The inner surface of the belt has hollow tubing attached to one side of the trim molding and it forms a resilient flange around the periphery of the inner surface of the belt. A layer of open cell foam having an egg carton contour on its outer surface is detachably received against the inner surface of the elongated strip between the resilient flanges formed by the hollow tubing.
