Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
206 words
An alarm kit apparatus, comprising, a mounting plate, the mounting plate including a planar forward surface, the planar forward surface including a top edge spaced above a bottom edge, the top edge including a translucent tinted canopy of a predetermined coloration positioned forwardly of the planar forward surface extending from the top edge and oriented orthogonally relative to the planar forward surface, and a flasher light mounted between the planar forward surface and the translucent canopy within the translucent canopy, and a clear transparent lens positioned below the flashing light, with the clear transparent lens mounted coextensively of the translucent canopy, and a support shelf orthogonally mounted to the planar forward surface below the translucent canopy, and the support shelf including a fire extinguisher canister mounted thereon, the fire extinguisher canister including a neck projection extending above the fire extinguisher canister intergrally associated therewith, and an audible smoke alarm fixedly mounted to the planar forward surface of the mounting plate, the audible alarm including flasher control means for effecting flashing of the flasher light upon activation of the audible smoke alarm, and a flashlight member, and a securement strap means for securement of the fire extinguisher canister and the flashlight member to the planar forward surface.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
206 words
An alarm kit apparatus, comprising, a mounting plate, the mounting plate including a planar forward surface, the planar forward surface including a top edge spaced above a bottom edge, the top edge including a translucent tinted canopy of a predetermined coloration positioned forwardly of the planar forward surface extending from the top edge and oriented orthogonally relative to the planar forward surface, and a flasher light mounted between the planar forward surface and the translucent canopy within the translucent canopy, and a clear transparent lens positioned below the flashing light, with the clear transparent lens mounted coextensively of the translucent canopy, and a support shelf orthogonally mounted to the planar forward surface below the translucent canopy, and the support shelf including a fire extinguisher canister mounted thereon, the fire extinguisher canister including a neck projection extending above the fire extinguisher canister intergrally associated therewith, and an audible smoke alarm fixedly mounted to the planar forward surface of the mounting plate, the audible alarm including flasher control means for effecting flashing of the flasher light upon activation of the audible smoke alarm, and a flashlight member, and a securement strap means for securement of the fire extinguisher canister and the flashlight member to the planar forward surface.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
78 words
An apparatus as set forth in claim 1 wherein the securement strap includes an arcuate strap portion circumferentially extending about a portion of the fire extinguisher canister, and an "L" shaped strap member mounted about the flashlight member, and a first strap hinge mounted within the arcuate strap portion, and a second strap hinge mounted within the "L" shaped strap member to permit selective removal of the canister and the flashlight member relative to the planar forward surface.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
74 words
An apparatus as set forth in claim 2 wherein the arcuate strap member includes a first frangible strap connection mounted adjacent the first strap hinge, and a second frangible strap connection arranged substantially diametrically opposed to the first frangible strap connection within the arcuate strap member to permit selective removal of the arcuate strap portion about the fire extinguisher canister permitting manual displacement of the fire extinguisher canister relative to the planar forward surface.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
40 words
An apparatus as set forth in claim 3 including a third frangible strap connection positioned adjacent the second strap hinge within the "L" shaped strap member to permit selective removal of the "L" shaped strap member about the flashlight member.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
60 words
An apparatus as set forth in claim 4 including a further securement strap mounted in surrounding relationship relative to the fire extinguisher canister and the flashlight member to secure the flashlight member to the fire extinguisher canister, wherein the further securement strap includes a frangible connection to permit selective removal of the flashlight member relative to the canister in use.
