Definitions

  • This invention relates to an alarm system for use with windows and doors.
  • An object of the invention is to provide an alarm system which is not normally visible to anyone inspecting the window or door and which is self-powered so that it does not require any external wiring or power supplies.
  • an alarm system for a window or door comprising a miniature transmitter having its own power supply, the transmitter being incorporated in a recess in the window surround or in an edge of the door or in adjacent mating structure in the window frame or door frame, the transmitter being operable by a switch of which one part is located on or adjacent the transmitter and the other part is located on adjacent relatively movable structure, so that the switch is operated by opening movement of the door or window to activate the transmitter.
  • the transmitter may send out an ultrasonic or radio signal which may be used for example to operate a burglar alarm or alert a control room giving an indication that the window or door has been opened.
  • the transmitter When applied to a window the transmitter is preferably located in a channel in the upper edge of the window. surround so that it is hidden from view both when the window is closed and when the window is partially opened.
  • window surround is used to describe the frame containing the glass in the movable or opening part of the window.
  • window frame is used to describe the fixed frame in the building which forms the window opening.
  • the transmitter may be located adjacent one end of the surround and one part of the switch may be located at the upper end of the window hinge.
  • the Switch in the transmitter maybe a reed switch and a magnet may be located on the top end of a fixed part such as the track of the adjacent hinge so that, as the window is opened, relative movement occurs between the magnet and the reed switch so as to operate the switch.
  • the hinges are preferably of the kind shown in U K Patent Specification 2081803A.
  • the transmitter may be arranged so as to emit a series of bleeps.when the maximum night vent position is reached. Thus in opening the window to the night vent position, one opens the window until the bleeps occur and then moves it back slightly.
  • the reed switch itself may have its contacts encapsulated in glass so as to avoid any problem of weathering.
  • One advantage of having the transmitter placed along the top edge of the window in a channel which may be formed as part of the window surround, is that this is an area where there is usually space for inclusion of a transmitter and the space is not occupied by hinges or other mechanism.
  • the transmitter By making the transmitter the same width as the normal window vent arm it can be arranged to fit in the cavity which conventionally runs around the surround of a metal framed window.
  • the transmitter may, in an alternative arrangement, be located adjacent one part of a two-part anti-bowing wedge and the other part of the anti-bowing wedge may carry a magnet which will operate a reed switch in the transmitter.
  • the anti-bowing wedge is preferably centrally located along the top edge of the window frame.
  • Figure 1 is shown a known,hinge, or supporting stay of the kind described in detail in our UK patent specification 2081803A.
  • the supporting stay comprises a channel-sectioned track member 10 having longitudinal inturned flanges 11.
  • the track member is, in use of the stay on a side-hung window, normally secured horizontally to the window frame, two stays being provided at the top and bottom respectively of the window frame.
  • the track members are secured vertically to the window frame at each side of the upper part of the window.
  • Fixing holes 12 are provided in the web 13 of the track member to receive fixing screws.
  • the track member is closed by a plastics nosecap 14 which is plugged into the end of the track member and may be "staked" to the track member by deforming a part of the web, or by means of a rivet.
  • a slider 15 is slideable along the track member, and the detailed construction of the slider will be described later.
  • An elongate cranked metal strut 16 is pivotally connected to the track member 10, adjacent one end thereof, by a rivet 17.
  • An elongate brace 18 is pivotally connected at one end, by a rivet 19, to the slider 15 and at the opposite end thereof, by a rivet 20,. to a part of the strut 16 intermediate the ends thereof.
  • a link 21 is pivotally connected to the slider 15 by a rivet 22 at a location spaced from the rivet 19.
  • the opposite end of the link 21 is pivotally connected by a rivet 23 to one end of a bar 24, which is in turn pivotally connected, intermediate its ends, by a rivet 25, to the extremity of the strut 16.
  • a cross link 26, shown in chain lines, may be pivotally connected between the brace 18 and the bar 24, parallel to the strut 16, if required.
  • the bar 24 s is, in use, connected to the bottom member of the window sash frame and fixing-holes 27 are provided for this purpose.
  • the bar 24 may be swung from the angled position shown in Figure 1, in which the window is open, to a closed position where the bar 24 overlies the track member 10-and the window is closed.
  • the dimensions of the elements of the stay, and the positions of the rivets, are so chosen that the strut 16, brace 18 and link .21 also overlie the track member 10 when the window is in the closed position.
  • One end of the bar 24 is shaped, as indicated at 28 to cooperate with a cam surface 29 on the inside of the nosecap 14 so as to give a wedging effect as the stay moves into the closed position.
  • the raiser block 31 may be moulded from plastics, such as acetal resin, and is located in the channel-sectioned track member 10 between the rivet 17 and a stop 30.
  • the stop 30 is deformed part of the web of the track, member 10 provided to limit the movement of the slider 15 along the track member.
  • Figure 2 shows diagrammatically a modification of this hinge to incorporate parts of an alarm system.
  • Bar 24 is attached to a frame or opening light 32 of a window.
  • Hinge track member 10 has attached to it an end cap 33 incorporating a permanent magnet 34.
  • a transmitter 35 incorporating a reed switch 36.
  • the window shown in Figures 3 and 4 has a surround which has an upper cross-member 110 with an upper channel section 111.
  • the window is supported by a modified hinge of the general type shown in Figure 1 and in our patent specification 2081803A.
  • a self contained miniature transmitter 112 which incorporates a reed switch, the whole being encapsulated so as to resist weathering.
  • the transmitter 112 includes its own dry cell battery supply.
  • an end cap 114 incorporating a magnet 115.
  • the transmitter is located some distance from the magnet 115 and so the reed switch will have closed to cause the transmitter to transmit a signal or give out an audible warning.
  • the transmitter 112 When the window is closed the transmitter 112 will be closely adjacent the magnet 115 so the reed switch 112A. will be open so as to render the transmitter inoperative.
  • the positions of the reed switch and magnet may be reversed if desired.
  • the transmitter may be a standard miniaturised transmitter adapted to fit in a rectangular box of the shape snown in the drawings and powered by a conventional 12 volt battery such as GP23 Lighter Battery.
  • Figure 5 is shown an alternative arrangement with the transmitter, reed switch and magnet incorporated in an anti-bowing wedge substantially in the middle of the upper portion of the window.
  • the anti-bowing wedge is a two part wedge designed to prevent bowing or sagging of the frame of the window surround.
  • One part 201 of the wedge is mounted on the window surround 202.
  • the other part 203 of the wedge is mounted in the window frame. (omitted for clarity).
  • a transmitter 204 is also located in the window frame and is held onto the wedge part 203 by pips 205 which engage in bores 206 to hold the transmitter in position.
  • the transmitter 204 incorporates a reed switch (not shown) and the permanent magnet 207 for operating the reed switch is incorporated in the wedge part 201.
  • the wedge parts engage to prevent bowing and the magnet 207 is then in close proximity to the reed switch in the transmitter 204. If the transmitter is switched on opening of the.window causes the magnet 207 to move away from the transmitter 204 thus operating the reed switch and setting off the alarm circuit.
  • Transmitter 204 may, alternatively be mounted in the window surround instead of in the window frame, the permanent magnet then being mounted in the part of the wedge attached to the window frame.
