Timer controlled fire and burglar alarm system

Claim 1

A timer controlled fire and burglar alarm system comprising: a sensor means for detecting both living beings and fire within an area to be protected and for providing an output corresponding thereto; a control circuit means operatively connected to said sensor means for providing control signals in response to said sensor output; a music generator means and an alarm generator means both operatively connected to a sound amplifier means, said music generator means and alarm generator means both being controlled by control signals from said control means; a switch means operatively connected to said control means for selectively switching said alarm system between a normal mode and an alert mode; wherein when said system is in a normal mode, said music generator means is controlled by said control means so as to provide a music signal to said sound amplifier means for generating audible music; and wherein when said system is in said alert mode, the detection of a living being or a fire by said sensor means causes said control means to control said alarm generator means so as to generate an alarm signal which is fed to said sound amplifier means so as to generate an audible alarm; said timer control fire and burglar alarm system further comprising at least a first and a second timer means operatively connected to said control means; wherein said first timer means causes said control means to not provide an alarm output from said sound amplifier means in the alert mode upon the detection of a living being or a fire by said sensor means when said system is in said alert mode but rather to control said music generator means so as to provide an output to said sound amplifier means to provide an audible music output, said first timer means operating after a predetermined period of time; and wherein said second timer means controls said control means when said system is in said alert mode such that an audible alarm is not generated when said sensor means detects a living being or a fire; said system further comprising a time delay means operatively connected to said control means and having a first time delay when said system is in said normal mode and having a second time delay which is longer than said first time delay when said system is in said alert mode; wherein said time delay means controls said control means such that said audible alarm is generated for a period of time equal to said first or second time delay subsequent to a living being or a fire no longer being detected by said sensor means.
