Abstract
Abstract A system for detecting an alarm for emergency situations of a door or a window of a building or house in a predetermined guard area, comprising: an alarm circuit, including a plurality of alarm switch units for detecting emergencies and a resistor and a capacitor connected between first contacts and second contacts of the alarm switch units; and an alarm device, including a detecting circuit for detecting voltage changes of a predetermined measuring point, a pulse oscillator for generating a pulsating voltage, and a transistor for repeatedly turning on and off the current in response to the pulsating voltage applied from the pulse oscillator.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
171 words
A system for detecting an alarm for emergency situations in a predetermined guard area of a building or house, comprising: an alarm circuit including at least one or more alarm switch units for detecting the emergencies and a resistor and a capacitor connected between first contacts and second contacts of said alarm switch units; and an alarm device including a detecting circuit for detecting voltage changes of a predetermined measuring point, a pulse oscillator for generating a pulsating voltage, and a transistor for repeatedly turning on and off the current in response to the pulsating voltage applied from said pulse oscillator; wherein no current flows in said alarm circuit after said capacitor is charged up, and a small amount of discharge current flows when said pulsating voltage is applied to the base of said transistor, then, such states are repeated under an ordinary condition of said predetermined guard area, current flows in said alarm circuit under emergencies, and the voltage change is detected at said measuring point of said alarm device.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
171 words
A system for detecting an alarm for emergency situations in a predetermined guard area of a building or house, comprising: an alarm circuit including at least one or more alarm switch units for detecting the emergencies and a resistor and a capacitor connected between first contacts and second contacts of said alarm switch units; and an alarm device including a detecting circuit for detecting voltage changes of a predetermined measuring point, a pulse oscillator for generating a pulsating voltage, and a transistor for repeatedly turning on and off the current in response to the pulsating voltage applied from said pulse oscillator; wherein no current flows in said alarm circuit after said capacitor is charged up, and a small amount of discharge current flows when said pulsating voltage is applied to the base of said transistor, then, such states are repeated under an ordinary condition of said predetermined guard area, current flows in said alarm circuit under emergencies, and the voltage change is detected at said measuring point of said alarm device.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
A system for detecting an alarm as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that each of said alarm switch units comprises one contact which closes or opens at emergencies.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
29 words
A system for detecting an alarm as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that each of said alarm switch units comprises two contacts which close or open at emergencies.
