Abstract:
An alarm device indicates the occurrence of a power failure or other interruption of power supplied to businesses or residences which triggers the alarm indication only after the elapse of a predetermined adjustable delay interval commencing upon the occurrence of the power failure. The device includes a mechanically-operated timer-alarm device, the operation of which is controlled by a lock and release lever, with the lever position in turn controlled by an electrically-operated solenoid plugged into the circuit to be monitored. As long as the circuit supplies power to the solenoid, release of the timer is prevented. Upon occurrence of a power failure, the release of the lock and release enables the timer to begin timing out intervals of a preselected duration, after which the alarm is sounded.
