Fire escape light and alarm

An emergency light and alarm comprising:

• housing having an inner chamber for accommodating a chemiluminescent solution, means for preparing and delivering the chemiluminescent solution to the chamber, means for producing an audible sound alert, and actuation means operably connected to the means for preparing and delivering the solution to chamber and the means for producing an audible sound alert, the actuation means responsive to a predetermined elevated temperature to activate the means for preparing and delivering the chemiluminescent solution to the chamber and the means for producing an audible sound alert, the actuation means having link means releasably connected to the means for preparing and delivering the solution to the chamber and the means for producing an audible sound alert, the link means simultaneously releasing the means for preparing and delivering the solution to the chamber and the means for producing an audible sound alert at said predetermined elevated temperature whereby the means for preparing and delivering the solution to the chamber and the means for producing an audible sound alert are simultaneously activated.

A combined emergency light and alarm comprising:

• a housing having a front plate and a back plate surrounding an inner core having a chamber for accommodating a chemiluminescent solution to emit chemiluminescent light visible through the front plate, admixing means connected to the back plate for preparing and delivering the chemiluminescent solution to the chamber, the admixing means having a plurality to tubes, at least one of the tubes containing a first solution, at least one of the other tubes containing a second solution separate from the first solution, sound alarm means connected to the back plate adjacent the admixing means operable to produce an audible sound alert, actuation means operably connected to the admixing means and sound alarm means, the actuation means responsive to a predetermined heat level to simultaneously activate the admixing means and the sound alarm means thereby simultaneously causing the first and second solutions to be moved from the tubes into the chamber to prepare the chemiluminescent solution and produce the audible sound alert.

A method of producing a combined non-electrical light and sound alarm in response to an elevated temperature comprising:

• separating a first solution from a second solution that when combined results in a chemiluminescent solution, maintaining the separation of the first and second solutions at temperatures below the elevated temperature, sensing the elevated temperature, activating actuation means responsive to the elevated temperature to simultaneously combine the first and second solutions to prepare the chemiluminescent solution and activate a sound alarm to produce an audible alert signal.
