Abstract

Abstract In a passive infrared movement detector having a reflector which directs the radiation from a plurality of fields of vision to an infrared detector arrangement and for this purpose consists of a plurality of individual reflectors, the reflecting surface of the reflector is composed of a plurality of facets produced at the reflector. The disadvantages of such a reflector are in particular to be seen in the fact that for each required distance range of the passive infrared movement detector a reflector adapted thereto must be used. Furthermore, the production of such a reflector is relatively expensive. In order to avoid these disadvantages, the individual reflectors are proposed to be in the form of spherical reflectors which are arranged on a reflector carrier in a manner so as to be shiftable in different directions and lockable in adjusted positions.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 66 words
A passive infrared movement detector having a reflector which directs the radiation from a plurality of fields of vision to an infrared detector arrangement and for this purpose consists of a plurality of individual reflectors, wherein the individual reflectors of the passive infrared movement detector are spherical reflectors (4) which are separately arranged on a reflector carrier (1) so as to be shiftable in different directions.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 66 words
A passive infrared movement detector having a reflector which directs the radiation from a plurality of fields of vision to an infrared detector arrangement and for this purpose consists of a plurality of individual reflectors, wherein the individual reflectors of the passive infrared movement detector are spherical reflectors (4) which are separately arranged on a reflector carrier (1) so as to be shiftable in different directions.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 53 words
A passive infrared movement detector as claimed in claim 1, wherein each spherical reflector (4) possesses an extension (5) at its back side and the reflector carrier (1) has transversely extending cutouts (2) by which the extensions and thus the spherical reflectors are shiftably guided, the spherical reflectors being lockable in adjusted positions.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 53 words
A passive infrared movement detector as claimed in claim 1, wherein each spherical reflector (4) possesses an extension (5) at its back side and the reflector carrier (1) has longitudinally extending cutouts (3) by which the extensions and thus the spherical reflectors are shiftably guided, the spherical reflectors being lockable in adjusted positions.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 56 words
A passive infrared movement detector as claimed in claim 1, wherein each spherical reflector (4) possesses an extension (5) at its back side and the reflector carrier (1) has transversely and longitudinally extending cutouts (2, 3) by which the extensions and thus the spherical reflectors are shiftably guided, the spherical reflectors being lockable in adjusted positions.
