ABSTRACT:
A battery powered portable personal alarm system is contained within a bag having a carrying theft-resistant strap to avoid theft of the alarm system while being carried. The bag houses a siren and a visual signal generator located proximate openings therein for generating a loud distinguishable noise and a visual signal. An arming switch and panic switch allow simultaneously activation of the siren and the visual signal. The visual signal generator can be a spark flare and ignitor contained within a removable fire resistant chamber mounted on a base plate disposed within the bag. Installation of the fire resistant chamber simultaneously establishes the electrical connection of the fire resistant chamber, allowing convenient and fail-safe replacement of the spark flare and ignitor after use. The visual signal can also be a high intensity strobe lamp which emits a high-intensity and high frequency light signal through a visual window. The visual signal can also include a smoke generator for producing visible smoke. The panic switch can be a rotatable key lock switch, a key fob coupled with a activation receiver or an external panic button on exterior of the bag.
