  • Fire detection alarm system
    Patent number: 4737769
    Abstract: An alarm system utilizing existing electrical wiring in conjunction with an alarm box. An alarm signal is manually or automatically generated and is converted to an RF signal which is conducted over the existing electrical wiring to an alarm box. The RF signal is re-converted to an electronic or electrical signal and the alarm signal is visually displayed. Various sensors for sensing the presence of various conditions, such as fire or unauthorized intrusion are removeably or directly affixed to plug receptacles or wall switches. Additionally, the system is connected to circuit protection devices, such as circuit breakers which could be tripped, should a fire conduction be sensed.

  • Circuit breaker panels with alarm system
    Patent number: 4698621
    Abstract: An alarm system used in conjunction with a circuit breaker panel box indicating the presence of an overload condition. At least one sensor is provided in proximity with the circuit breaker box but is not physically connected thereto. This sensor senses various parameters which are inherent in an overload condition or which are produced by various circuitry connected to the circuit breaker which are enabled during an overload condition. This alarm system is set by closing the door of the circuit breaker panel box.

  • Circuit breaker indicator
    Patent number: 4652867
    Abstract: A blown circuit breaker indicator utilizing an illuminating device such as a light-emitting diode for indicating whether either a thermal electrical or magnetic circuit breaker has been tripped. The indicating device is provided in a circuit parallel to the main switch of the circuit breaker and includes a reactive element such as a capacitor.

  • Fire detection alarm system
    Patent number: 4635040
    Abstract: A fire detecting system utilizing existing electrical wiring in conjunction with circuit protecting devices provided in a main panel box. Various sensors which sense the presence of a fire condition are directly affixed to plug receptacles or wall switches. These sensors activate a short circuit device or a controlled overload which is utilized to trip a circuit breaker and activate various visual or aural alarms. An alternative embodiment employs an encoded RF signal transmitted over the existing wiring, tripping the circuit breaker by an electromechanical device, thereby activating the aural and visual alarms.
