Alarm activated by mechanical separation of coupled elements

The objective of this invention consists in having an alarm, which prevents the stealing of light portable articles by the procedure known as 'snatching', i.e., grabbing something valuable from a passer-by or a businessman and running off. The element which gives rise to the originality of the device is the switch, consisting of a mechanical device which activates the electronic circuit of the alarm, when the object to be to be protected is separated from the rod of the alarm which is secured to any part of the body of the owner or anchored to the fittings of the premises. The rights to and exploitation of any alarm, characterised by the inclusion, in its electric or electronic circuit, of the two-part switch described, is claimed to be a new and suitable invention. It can be installed on handbags, briefcases, overnight bags, computers, radio cassettes and, in general, on light or portable objects which, frequently, are stolen in the street or in public establishments. LA FINALIDAD DE ESTA INVENCION CONSISTE EN DISPONER DE UNA ALARMA QUE EVITE EL ROBO DE OBJETOS LIGEROS Y PORTATILES POR EL PROCEDIMIENTO QUE SE CONOCE COMO "DEL TIRON", ES DECIR, ARREBATAR A UN TRANSEUNTE O COMERCIANTE ALGO VALIOSO Y SALIR CORRIENDO. EL ELEMENTO QUE CONFIGURA LA ORIGINALIDAD DEL DISPOSITIVO ES EL INTERRUPTOR, CONSISTENTE EN UN ARTILUGIO MECANICO QUE ACTIVA EL CIRCUITO ELECTRICO DE LA ALARMA, CUANDO EL OBJETO A PROTEGER ES SEPARADO DEL VASTAGO DE LA ALARMA QUE VA SUJETO A CUALQUIER PARTE DEL CUERPO DEL PROPIETARIO O ANCLADO AL MOBILIARIO DEL LOCAL. SE REIVINDICA COMO DE NUEVA Y PROPIA INVENCION LA PROPIEDAD Y EXPLOTACION DE CUALQUIER ALARMA, CARACTERIZADA POR LA INCLUSION, EN SU CIRCUITO ELECTRICO O ELECTRONICO, DEL INTERRUPTOR DE DOS CUERPOS DESCRITO. PUEDE INSTALARSE EN BOLSOS, PORTAFOLIOS, NECESERES, ORDENADORES, RADIO-CASSETTES Y, EN GENERAL, EN OBJETOS LIGEROS O PORTATILES QUE, FRECUENTEMENTE, SON ROBADOS EN LA CALLE O EN ESTABLECIMIENTOS PUBLICOS.
