Abstract
A window with built-in devices that senses carbon monoxide; powered only by the exterior daylight; that automatically opens by itself and sounds an alarm when a dangerous level of carbon monoxide is sensed to release the accumulated carbon monoxide and let the clean air with fresh oxygen enter the contaminated area to prevent or minimize poisoning and/or death of humans & animals without the need of any human physical action; the provided contacts can be connected to a private alarm station to alert the Fire & Police Departments to provide immediate assistance to the endangered humans & animals and protect the opened residence.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedI claim:
1. A window with built-in devices powered by light that senses carbon monoxide and opens by itself to release dangerous levels of concentrated carbon monoxide from an enclosed area, comprising: a primary jamb device 12 suitable to be installed in any home/building walls; an universal window sash device 14 that comprises a glass pane device 19 or a full variety of designs and types of pre-assembled windows device 21 ; a built-in latch/handle device 13 to lock close the universal window sash device 14 to the primary jamb device 12 ; a set of pivoted hinges or swing device 15 to swing open the universal window sash device 14 attached to the bottom of the primary jamb device 12 ; a set of built-in springs device 16 to push and pop open the universal window sash device 14 when the latch/handle device 13 gets disengaged/unlatched; a set of an optional holding brackets device 17 to hold in an open position the universal window sash device 14 after was pop open; a built-in carbon monoxide sensor device 2 to sense carbon monoxide comprising built-in lights: a green light for indicating that the sensor is in operable condition and a red light for indicating when a dangerous level of carbon monoxide is present; a test/reset button for testing or resetting the carbon monoxide sensor device 2 ; a built-in sound alarm device 3 to sound a warning alarm when dangerous levels of carbon monoxide are sensed; a built-in low voltage an: unlatch device 8 to unlatch the latch/handle device 13 ; a built-in normally open switching relay device 4 to switch-on the low voltage unlatch device 8 only when the sound alarm device 3 sounds, triggered by the carbon monoxide sensor device 2 after sensing a dangerous level of carbon monoxide; an accessible alarm contacts device 10 to optionally be connected to a central alarm station; a built-in normally open & normally close an alarm switching relay device 9 to trigger the accessible alarm contacts device 10 , only when the built-in low voltage unlatch device 8 is activated; a built-in independent set of rechargeable batteries device 5 a to power the carbon monoxide sensor device 2 , the sound alarm device 3 and the normally open switching relay device 4 ; a built-in independent set of rechargeable batteries device 5 b to power the low voltage unlatch device 8 and the normally open & normally close relay device 9 electrical devices; a built-in independent set of solar cells charger device 6 a to charge the independent set of rechargeable batteries device 5 a; and a built-in independent set of solar cells device 6 b to charge the independent set of rechargeable batteries device 5 b; two independent reverse diodes devices 20 a and 20 b to avoid discharging the rechargeable batteries devices 5 a and 5 b when light is not present; interconnections contacts device 22 to be able to inter-connect additional windows, to pop open all the inter-connected windows when any of the windows senses a dangerous level of carbon monoxide; a an optional transparent color white water-resistant cover device 7 to protect the built-in electrical devices from the outside environment and to expose the solar cells charger device 6 a and device 6 b to the exterior light; a an optional removable inside cover device 11 accessible from the interior side of the window to access and service the built-in electrical devices and replace the carbon monoxide sensor device 2 every five or seven years, depending in the type of carbon monoxide sensor device used; wherein when a dangerous level of carbon monoxide is sensed by the built-in carbon monoxide sensor device 2 , the carbon monoxide sensor device 2 will trigger the built-in sound alarm device 3 will sound a warning alarm, and the built-in normally open switching relay device 4 will be powered, both activated by the carbon monoxide device 2 the interconnections contacts device 22; and the alarm switching relay device 9; therefore the built-in normally open switching relay device 4 will switch-on the built-in low voltage unlatch device 8 mounted on the top of the primary jamb device 12 and it will unlatch the latch/handle device 13 attached on the top of the universal window sash device 14 ; therefore the universal window sash device 14 comprising the glass pane devise 19 or any of the variety of pre-assembled windows device 21 , will pop open, pressed/pushed by the set of built-in springs device 16 mounted between the universal window sash device 14 and the primary jamb device 12 , located on the upper sides of the devices 14 and 12 ; swinging open on a set of pivoted by hinges or swing device 15 , attached to the bottom of the primary jamb device 12 ; and hold open by a set of holding the optional brackets device 17 attached on both sides between the primary jamb device 12 and the universal window sash device 14 ; the inter-connected windows will pop open; and the normally open & normally close alarm switching relay device 9 , connected in parallel with the built-in low voltage unlatch device 8 will trigger the accessible alarm contacts device 10 ; that optionally may be connected to a private central station alarm company, to alert the Fire & Police Department of a dangerous carbon monoxide emergency and to provide immediate assistance to the endangered humans & animals and protect the opened residence; if someone intents to close the universal window sash device 14 while a dangerous level of carbon monoxide remain in the enclosed environment, the universal window sash device 14 with its attached devices 19 or 21 , will, not close/lock, until the sensed level of carbon monoxide becomes no longer dangerous to accomplish the purpose of this invention: the release of the accumulated carbon monoxide of the enclosed room/area; and prevent or minimize poisoning and death of humans & animals, without depending on any human physical action; any external power supply, or replaceable alkaline batteries; and the window can be manually open and closed for regular use in normal conditions, without activating the accessible alarm contacts device 10 or triggering the alarm alert.Cited by (0)
