B. from the Document US-A-4 631 526 is known.

Alarmanlagen beinhalten Komponenten zur Überwachung einzelner Bereiche, beispielsweise Sensoren an Zugangstüren, Fenstern usw., die von der Alarmzentrale abgesetzt sind. Diese Sensoren sind üblicherweise in Gehäusen angeordnet und an entsprechenden Stellen, meist Wänden, befestigt. Die Befestigung erfolgt bei bekannten Komponenten so, daß die Befestigungselemente, beispielsweise Schrauben, bei vollständig montierter Komponente nicht zugänglich sind. Zu diesem Zweck ist es notwendig, das Gehäuse bei der Montage zu öffnen und das montierte, geschlossene Gehäuse gegen ein Öffnen zu sichern.Alarm systems contain components for monitoring individual areas, For example, sensors on access doors, windows, etc., by the Alarm center are set down. These sensors are usually in housings arranged and attached to appropriate places, mostly walls. The Fastening takes place in known components so that the Fasteners, such as screws, when fully assembled Component are not accessible. For this purpose it is necessary that Open the housing during assembly and the assembled, closed Secure the housing against opening.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, in einem Gehäuse angeordnete Komponenten von Alarmanlagen so auszugestalten, daß die Befestigung schnell und ohne Öffnen des Gehäuses erfolgen kann, wobei die Komponenten gegen Sabotage geschützt sind.The invention has for its object arranged in a housing Design components of alarm systems so that the attachment can be done quickly and without opening the housing, taking the components are protected against sabotage.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in.den abhängigen Ansprüchen angegeben. This task is based on the features of the preamble of Claim 1 solved by the characterizing features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are in the dependent Claims specified.

Gemäß der Erfindung weist die Gehäuserückwand eine Aussparung auf, durch die ein Befestigungsmittel, beispielsweise eine Schraube geführt werden kann. Innerhalb des Gehäuses ist eine Anordnung zur Überwachung der Position des Befestigungsmittels angeordnet, die insbesondere eine Positionsänderung des Befestigungsmittels innerhalb des Gehäuses erkennt und ein Alarmsignal liefert, das vorzugsweise an die Alarmzentrale weitergeleitet wird.According to the invention, the rear wall of the housing has a cutout a fastener, such as a screw can be performed. Within the housing is an arrangement for monitoring the position of the Fastening means arranged, in particular a change in position of the Fasteners within the housing detects and an alarm signal delivers, which is preferably forwarded to the alarm center.

Durch die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung ist eine einfache Anbringung von Komponenten einer Alarmanlage möglich, indem das Gehäuse mittels der Aussparung in das Befestigungsmittel eingehängt werden kann. Als Befestigungsmittel können Schrauben oder Haken verwendet werden, die beispielsweise in einer Wand verankert sind. Das Befestigungsmittel ist dabei nicht zugänglich, da beispielsweise der Schraubenkopf oder der Haken in das Innere des Gehäuses ragen. Dort ist eine Anordnung zur Überwachung der Position des Befestigungsmittels angeordnet. Bei einer Änderung der Position oder der Abnahme des Gehäuses vom Befestigungsmittel wird ein Alarmsignal ausgegeben, so daß eine unbefugte Entfernung der Komponente nicht möglich ist.The device according to the invention enables simple attachment of Components of an alarm system possible by the housing using the Recess in the fastener can be hooked. As Fasteners can be used using screws or hooks are anchored in a wall, for example. The fastener is there not accessible because, for example, the screw head or the hook in the Protrude inside the housing. There is an arrangement for monitoring the Position of the fastener arranged. When the position changes or the removal of the housing from the fastener, an alarm signal issued so that unauthorized removal of the component is not possible is.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung besteht die Anordnung zur Überwachung der Position des Befestigungsmittels aus einem Schalter, der bei Durchführung des Befestigungsmittels durch die Aussparung betätigt wird. Dadurch wird auf einfache und kostengünstige Weise die Position, insbesondere das Vorhandensein des Befestigungsmittels im Gehäuse überwacht. Sobald das Befestigungsmittel aus dem Gehäuse entfernt wird, d.h. bei Abnahme des Gehäuses vom Befestigungsort, wird der Schalter wieder geöffnet bzw. er ändert seinen Zustand, was zur Alarmauslösung führt. Fehlalarme können dadurch vermieden werden, daß der Schalter so angeordnet bzw. so ausgeführt wird, daß eine geringe Bewegung nicht zu einer Schalterbetätigung führt.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the arrangement exists to monitor the position of the fastener from a switch that is actuated through the recess when the fastener is carried out. In this way, the position, in particular the presence of the fastener in the housing supervised. Once the fastener is removed from the housing, i.e. when the housing is removed from the mounting location, the switch is back on opened or it changes its state, which triggers the alarm. False alarms can be avoided by switching the switch arranged or executed so that a slight movement does not lead to a Switch actuation leads.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sieht vor, daß die Anordnung zur Überwachung der Position des Befestigungsmittels mittelbar oder unmittelbar an der Innenseite der Gehäusevorderwand angeordnet ist. Bei Öffnen des Gehäuses verändert sich die relative Position der Positionsüberwachungsanordnung zum Befestigungsmittel und es wird ein Öffnen des Gehäuses erkannt und führt zur Alarmgabe.Another advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the Arrangement for monitoring the position of the fastener indirectly or is arranged directly on the inside of the housing front wall. at Opening the case changes the relative position of the Position monitoring arrangement for the fastener and it becomes a Opening the housing is recognized and leads to an alarm.

Im weiteren hat es sich als vorteilhaft erwiesen, das Gehäuse so auszuführen, daß es nur im nicht befestigten Zustand geöffnet werden kann. Dies kann beispielsweise erreicht werden, indem die Schrauben, welche die Gehäuseteile zusammenhalten, nur von der Gehäuserückwand zugänglich sind.Furthermore, it has proven advantageous to design the housing in such a way that it can only be opened when not attached. This can For example, be achieved by the screws that hold the housing parts hold together, only accessible from the rear wall of the housing.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung an Hand eines Ausführungsbeispiels gemäß den Figuren 1 und 2 erläutert.

Das Gehäuse, in dem eine Komponente einer Alarmanlage, beispielsweise ein Sensor für Raumüberwachung, der in der Figur nicht dargestellt ist, angeordnet ist, besteht aus einer Gehäuserückwand 2 und einer Gehäusevorderwand 3, die mittels einer Schraube 4 verbunden sind.
Die Gehäuserückwand 2 weist eine Aussparung 21, 22 auf, durch die ein Befestigungsmittel 8, im vorliegenden Fall eine Schraube, hindurchgeführt werden kann.
Wie aus Figur 2 ersichtlich, weist die Aussparung 21, 22 einen unteren Teil 22, dessen Durchmesser größer ist als der Kopf der hindurchzuführenden Schraube 8 ist, und einen oberen Teil 21 auf, dessen Durchmesser kleiner als der Schraubenkopf und größer als der Durchmesser des Schaftes des Schraube 8 ist.
Die Schraube 8 ist beispielsweise in eine Wand 1 eingeschraubt, wobei der Schraubenkopf einen Abstand zur Wand 1 aufweist. Das Gehäuse 2, 3 wird an der Schraube befestigt, indem der untere Teil 22 der Aussparung über den Kopf der Schraube 8 geführt wird und anschließend das Gehäuse abgesenkt wird, so daß der Schaft der Schraube 8 im Bereich des oberen Teils 21 der Aussparung liegt.
Im Inneren des Gehäuses ist gemäß dem Ausführungsbeispiel ein Schalter 6 mit einer Schaltzunge 61 angeordnet. Der Schalter ist innerhalb des Gehäuses so angeordnet, daß bei Einhängen des Gehäuses der Kopf der Schraube die Schalterzunge 61 betätigt. Bei Abnahme des Gehäuses durch einen Unbefugten wird ein Alarmsignal ausgegeben.
Dabei wird vorzugsweise ein entsprechendes Signal an die Alarmzentrale gegeben. Im Fall der Abnahme des Gehäuses durch den Benutzer kann ein Alarm unterdrückt werden, indem die Alarmanlage ganz oder nur die Komponente betreffend unscharfgeschaltet wird.
The housing, in which a component of an alarm system, for example a sensor for room monitoring, which is not shown in the figure, is arranged, consists of a housing rear wall 2 and a housing front wall 3, which are connected by means of a screw 4.
