Abstract

Abstract ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A fire extinguisher cabinet protectively encloses a fire extinguisher of the portable type and provides a transparent movable access panel through which the fire extinguisher may be readily seen. Movement of the access panel and an actuating arm thereon actuates an audible alarm to indicate that the cabinet has been opened. A trigger member controlled by a key controlled lock is provided to move the actuating arm to inactive position. The cabinet discourages theft of the fire extinguisher as the same cannot be removed therefrom without opening the access panel and actuating the alarm unless the key controlled lock and actuating arm is moved to inactive position prior to moving the access panel. This invention is distinguishable from other inventions by reason of the arrangement of the access panel and its actuating arm and the trigger member of the alarm device engaged thereby.
