ABSTRACT:
An alarm strap for luggage (10) for emitting an audible alarm when unauthorized entrance into baggage (34) is attempted. The alarm strap for luggage (10) includes an alarm housing (12), alarm circuitry (14), a lock switch (24), and a strap (26), made of substantially the same material of typical luggage straps, carrying an electrically conductive element (28). A ratcheting mechanism (30) is attached to the alarm housing (12). The strap (26) is wrapped around the baggage (34), passed through the ratcheting mechanism (30), and tightened down so that no slack is left, and the strap (26) is taut against the baggage (34). The lock switch (24) is turned to the on position to complete the alarm circuitry (14) circuit and arm the alarm. When someone tries to gain unauthorized access to the baggage (34) by cutting the strap (26), the severing of the electrically conductive element (28) energizes the alarm circuitry (14) and sets off an audible alarm.
