Audible circuit breaker
First Claim
1. An audible test circuit comprising a body having a plurality of prongs extending therefrom and having a plurality of lights thereon;
- a four way bridge rectifier circuit having a voltage steering circuit for producing a DC output voltage of known polarity, said bridge rectifier circuit being located in said body and coupled to said plurality of prongs extending therefrom and to said plurality of lights thereon to produce a visual indication of power applied to said bridge rectifier circuit and of the polarity of the circuit being tested;
audible alarm means coupled to said four way bridge rectifier circuit for producing an audible alarm when power is applied to said rectifier circuit; and
a lamp attachment removably attachable to said plurality of prongs for attaching said audible test circuit to a lamp socket for testing said lamp socket for power and polarity;
whereby a audible testing circuit gives an audible indication of power applied to a circuit and a visual indication of polarity in the circuity.

Abstract
An audible test circuit has a body having a plurality of prongs extending therefrom and having a plurality of lights thereon. A four way bridge rectifier circuit has a voltage steering circuit for producing a DC output voltage of known polarity located in the body and coupled to the plurality of prongs extending therefrom into the plurality of lights thereon to produce a visual indication of power to said bridge rectifier circuit on the polarity of the circuit being tested. An audible alarm, such an electronic transducer, is coupled to the four way bridge rectifier circuit for producing an audible alarm when power is applied to the rectifier circuit. The lamp attachment is removably attachable to the plurality of prongs for attaching the audible test circuit to a lamp socket for testing the lamp socket for power and polarity so that an audible test circuit gives an audible indication of power applied to the circuit and a visual indication of the plurality of the circuit. The audible test circuit may include a lamp socket-to-alligator clip attachment for removably attaching to the lamp attachment for coupling the alligator clip to the circuit. There is also a lamp socket-to-alligator clip attachment.
