ABSTRACT:
An enclosure for a gas detector including an easily removable and replaceable battery/sensor holder and a battery absence indicator. The enclosure includes a flat first panel adapted to be fastened into a ceiling, a second panel spaced from the first panel to contain the gas detecting apparatus and a sidewall closing between the edges of the panels. A specially configured opening is provided to allow sound from an audio alarm to exit the enclosure. Another opening in the second side panel is configured to receive and retain a battery holder through a cooperating bayonet type arrangement of radial protrusions on the holder and notches in the sides of the opening. A tube is contained in the opening in such a way as to permit the tube to extend when the holder is removed to signal the absence of the holder. The tube is pushed back into the enclosure when the battery/sensor holder is inserted. One or more protrusions may house a gas detection cell so that the cell is automatically inserted between a light emitting means and a light detecting means when the batter/sensor holder is inserted.
