Abstract

A smoke detector cover A comprising an attachment means B for attaching the unit to a smoke detector head and a tassel C hanging down from the bottom of the cover to act as a visual warning. The cover and tassel are preferable of high-visibility material.

Description

S Smoke Detector Cover and warning system This invention relates to a device to protect smoke detectors from accidental activation and provide clear warning that the detector is covered and therefore inoperable.
It is common practice in the construction industry to cover smoke detectors in order to prevent dust, steam or fumes from any work being carried out in proximity to the detector, triggering a false alarm.
Generally plastic bags, rubber gloves, tissue paper etc are used for this purpose and are often forgotten on completion of the job leaving smoke detectors covered up and unable to operate.
To overcome this problem the present invention provides a bag that fits all size smoke detectors by use of an elastic neck.
The bag is made from a fabric capable of resisting the ingress of dust, fume and steam particles.
The bag is of a hi-visibility colour finish.
The bag has an attached fabric tassel which, when the bag is in position over the detector, hangs down vertically from the base of the bag to fall within the eye-line of persons below.
The tassel is also of a high-visibility fabric.
The tassel is a clear reminder that the cover is in place and does not rely on memory or the chance that someone might look up at the ceiling.
Figure 1 shows a cross sectional view of the cover in operation.
Figure 2 shows the detail of the device.
Figure 3 shows the device in a working situation Figure 1 and 2 show the detector cover A, with the elasticated neck B. Tassel C is permanently attached to cover A. Figure 3 shows the hi-visibility tassel C hanging down to fall within the eye-line D to act as a constant reminder that the detector is covered.
