Abstract
A fluid dispensing anti-burglar booby trap device is disclosed which discharges a fluid, containing a chemical such as tear gas, from a pressurized container into an area to be protected when an intruder opens a door or window to enter an unauthorized area with which the device is associated. The pressurized container is moveably mounted in the anti-burglar device between an actuatable position and an inactuatable position. When the pressurized container is in the actuatable position, opening a door or a window will cause the device to discharge fluid from the pressurized container.
Claims8
A fluid dispensing anti-burglar booby trap device for attachment to a surface such as a wall wherein said device is associated with a second surface such as a door and arranged such that movement of the second surface will cause said device to dispense a fluid in the event unauthorized opening is attempted, the device comprising:
- a. a container of pressurized fluid having a fluid-dispensing element adapted to release fluid under pressure when actuated;
- b. a passageway in said fluid-dispensing element for directing fluid from said pressurized container;
- c. a body member having means for supporting said pressurized container;
- d. a mounting plate for securing said device to one surface having means for movably mounting said body member whereby said body member may be moved between an inactuatable position and an actuatable position, said body member when in said inactuatable position permitting movement of said second surface with which the device may be associated, said body member when in said actuatable position placing said fluid-dispensing element of said pressurized container in position to be actuated upon unauthorized movement of said second surface.
- e. and means for moving said fluid-dispensing element by a second surface from a first position to a second position whereby upon movement of one surface relative to the other said fluid-dispensing element is actuated to release said pressurized fluid from said container when said body member is in said actuatable position.
