Gas-powered alarm with pressure responsive remote indicator circuit

In a temperature detection and alarm sounding apparatus for physically sounding an alarm at a predetermined alarm temperature comprising:

• a. a cylinder containing freon under pressure;
• b. a horn, activated by freon under pressure;
• and
• c. a temperature sensitive passage means, isolating said horn from said cylinder when the ambient temperature is below said alarm temperature, and providing a connecting passage between said horn and said cylinder when the ambient temperature attains said alarm temperature,
• the improvement wherein said passage means further comprises a pressure conversion means for increasing gas pressure within said passage means, and a pressure sensing means for detecting an increase in the gas pressure within said passage means, and wherein said pressure conversion means comprises a part of said connecting passage adjacent to said horn, said part comprising at least two portions, a first constricted portion located at the end of the part immediately adjacent to said horn, and a second unconstricted portion contiguously located to said first constricted portion, and wherein said pressure sensing means comprises at least one pressure sensitive interior surface of said second unconstricted portion, and wherein said pressure sensing means further comprises a pressure sensitive switch, and wherein said pressure sensing means further comprises an alarm circuit connected to the switch having means for activating remote indicating devices in response to the activation of said switch.
