Abstract
Abstract A digital signal transmitter which is mounted upon a rigid panel by resiliently deformable strips such as double-sided adhesive or springs. The mounting is such that a button is disposed adjacent a switch contained within the transmitter structure. The entire apparatus is then worn by a person upon a belt-like structure in such a way that upon muscular expansion by the person wearing the structure, the button closes the switch causing the transmitter to emit a radio frequency signal. The radio frequency signal may then be received by a transponder or other electronic device which amplifies and converts the signal and directs it toward a central station.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
85 words
Concealed remote alarm activator comprising: a digital signal transmitter including a switch; rigid mounting means including a first surface for carrying said transmitter; resiliently deformable means affixed to said first surface; means for mounting said transmitter to said resiliently deformable means so that upon application of force relative movement will occur between said transmitter and said surface urging said transmitter toward said surface; and means disposed between said surface and said switch for closing said switch upon application of a predetermined amount of said force.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
85 words
Concealed remote alarm activator comprising: a digital signal transmitter including a switch; rigid mounting means including a first surface for carrying said transmitter; resiliently deformable means affixed to said first surface; means for mounting said transmitter to said resiliently deformable means so that upon application of force relative movement will occur between said transmitter and said surface urging said transmitter toward said surface; and means disposed between said surface and said switch for closing said switch upon application of a predetermined amount of said force.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
Concealed remote alarm activator as defined in claim 1 which further includes attachment means on said mounting means for securing said activator to a person.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
