ABSTRACT:
A battery operated, portable alarm device integrated with a telescoping security bar containing a triggering switch and a tilt sensitive switch, either of which will activate the alarm circuit when an intruder tries to enter a room through the door. A pressure switch, located on the top section of the security bar, which is positioned just under the doorknob shaft, will be pressed in as the door is slightly opened. The opening action, of the door, causes the security bar to rotate through an arc until the distance from the floor to the pressure switch has been shortened and forces the shaft of the doorknob to press against the pressure switch and activates the alarm. The intruder might try to defeat the pressure action of the doorknob, by sliding a thin piece of cardboard or other thin material under the door in an attempt to push the security bar base away from the door, causing the bar to fall. If tilting of the bar should occur, the tilt switch circuit, which is set between a specific tilt angle and the horizontal, will activate the alarm. In either case the alarm will continue to sound until it is turned off.
