Smoke generator with deflector

A smoke generator for anti-burglar purposes, comprising:

• a canister holding housing configured to hold a canister for smoke generating chemicals and configured so that generated smoke emitted from the canister holding housing has a smoke flow path along a first longitudinal axis;
• and
• a smoke deflector positioned in the smoke flow path and configured to evenly distribute the generated smoke, the smoke deflector comprising a body having an upper wall and a lower wall spaced from the upper wall by one or more side walls and the body having a sector shaped cavity located between the upper and lower walls, the upper and lower walls being transverse to the first longitudinal axis, and the upper wall having an inlet positioned in the smoke flow path so that the generated smoke travelling along the first longitudinal axis enters the cavity through the inlet, and the lower wall positioned at an angle to the first longitudinal axis to redirect the smoke flow path and the sector shaped cavity spreading the smoke flow path into the sector shape, the body of the smoke deflector having an outlet opening between the upper and lower walls, the redirected and spread smoke exiting the cavity of the smoke deflector through the outlet opening so as to travel along a second longitudinal axis of the smoke flow path, the second longitudinal axis intersecting the first longitudinal axis at an angle.
