Abstract The combination is described of an electrical smoke, heat detector and electrical light in a single unit which is removably attachable to an electrical fixture. The combination includes a closed housing containing smoke heat sensing alarms. Also recessed flush within the housing is a light bulb socket for reception of a light bulb into a face of the housing. Protruding from an opposite face of the housing is an electrical connector, capable of screw-in attachment to a standard electrical outlet fixture. A switching device to turn the light on or off, forms of which include: push button, toggle switch, or pull chain, is installed within the closed housing such that the switch is operable externally of the housing. A second switching device, also operable externally of the housing activates and de-activates a self-contained battery power source to operate the smoke and heat sensor functions of the combination.
A combined and alternately selectible heat, smoke detector and electric light source for removable installation to an electric fixture comprising; (A) electrically operable, combined smoke and heat sensor and alarm therefor, each being interconnected to the other; (B) at least one illumination receptacle switchedly electrically interconnected to the smoke and heat sensor and alarm said illumination receptacle being recessed within the detector; (C) connector electrically interconnected to said combined smoke and heat sensor and alarm therefor and to said receptacle in extension thereof; said connector being affixed to the smoke and heat sensor and alarm adjacently and in opposite orientation thereto in an integrated structure; (D) a light source contained by the receptacle; (E) an electrical power source for the elements aforesaid and wherein switching means is incorporated to energize and de-energize the power source.
