ABSTRACT:
A key chain alarm and light is disclosed that overcomes the problems associated with prior art personal alarms. The invention combines the functionality of a key chain, flashlight and an alarm into a unitary assembly. The invention is physically diminutive in size and ergonomically shaped to facilitate its handling. However, it produces an audible alarm significantly louder than other prior art devices. The invention utilizes a unique speaker assembly to produce an extremely loud alarm signal. A piezoelectric transducer provides the vibratory medium. The vibrations produced by the transducer are acoustically focused and harmoniously amplified by an acoustic chamber before passing into a reverberation chamber. The reverberation chamber also increases the amplitude of the sound waves before selectively releasing them to produce the alarm signal. This signal immediately draws attention to the user in emergency situations. The alarm is easily activated by simply moving a switch to activate the alarm. The alarm can also be easily deactivated by reversing the switch. The switch also cooperatively activates the light. A push button on the exterior of the casing of the key chain alarm and light must also be depressed to activate the light.
