A picture frame or a doorbell having warning function includes a main body consisting of a front housing, a rear housing and a transparent plate for placing photos or pictures. The main body is provided with a sensor hole, a speaker, an electronic control circuit and/or an emission circuit to deliver signals to a receive circuit of a subsidiary device positioned at any location in a house (in different rooms or on different stories). When the sensor of the main electronic control circuit senses any unusual light sources, the speaker of the main device can send out warning sounds, and the signals will be delivered to the receive circuit of the subsidiary device through the emission circuit to let the speaker of the subsidiary device give out warning sounds at the same time.

This invention relates to a picture frame or a doorbell having warning function, particularly to one provided with a fire warning device and an anti-burglary device, capable of sending out warning signals or sounds in advance so as to enable a user take precautions against a fire or a burglar in time.
It is commonly known that a little fire burns up a great deal of corn so warning a fire and taking action in time becomes extremely important to lessen damage caused by a fire. In recent years, a variety of products for warning a fire has been developed and employed. For instance, a sensor (A0), as shown in FIG. 1, fixed on a ceiling (A) functions to sense smoke and immediately give out warning of a fire by spraying liquid or sending out warning sounds.
A picture frame, a clock or a calendar either hung on a wall or placed on a desk generally functions as a decoration for beautifying a room. As shown in FIG. 2, the frame body (B) of the picture frame has a photograph fitted inside, and both the photograph (B0) and the frame body (B) are held by a support board (B1) to stand on a desk with the help of a support rod B2.
This invention will be better understood by referring to the accompanying drawings, wherein:

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a conventional picture frame:
A first and a second preferred embodiments of a picture frame or a doorbell having warning function in the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 10 and 11, 12, includes respectively a main body 1 and a base 2 combined together.
The main body is composed of a front housing 10 and a rear housing 11. The front housing 10 is provided with a housing body 100 formed with a recess 102 defined with a circumferential wall 103 having insert slots 104 and a sensor receive hole 105. A transparent plate 106 for placing photos or pictures is movably fitted in the insert slots 104. Besides, the front housing 10 has its opposite sides respectively bored with two mortises 108 for respectively receiving tenons 111 of the rear housing 11.
The rear housing 11 has its opposite circumferential sidewalls 110 respectively formed integral with two upward projections 111 for engaging the mortises 108 of the front housing 10 for combining two housings 10, 11 together. A bottom plate 112 of the rear housing is bored with two hang holes 113, 114 for hanging the doorbell or the picture frame on a wall without the base 2, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10. The rear housing 11 has a lateral side and a one lengthwise side respectively provided with a combining slot 115, 116 for combining with the base 2. Further the rear housing 11 is provided with a speaker 3 and an electronic control board 4 for sending out pleasant sounds when a main control circuit receives any unusual signals or when the doorbell rings. The rear housing 11 is further provided with a battery case 117 for receiving batteries 5 which is covered up by a battery cover 118.
