Motor vehicle dual alarm system kit for child seats
First Claim
1. An alarm system incorporated into a motor vehicle for warning of an unattended condition associated with an occupant left within the vehicle, the vehicle including a first seating location and a second seating location, said alarm system comprising:
- a first sensor associated with the first seating location;
a second sensor associated with the second seating location;
a wire harness communicating with each of said first and second sensors;
a processor driven and control relay operatively communicating with said sensors, via said wire harness, said relay, upon determining a first sensor condition associated with a first unoccupied seating location concurrent with determining a second occupied seating location, activating an audible alarm associated with the vehicle.

Abstract
An alarm system incorporated into a motor vehicle for warning of an unattended condition associated with an occupant left within the vehicle. The vehicle includes a first seating location and a second seating location. The alarm system includes a first, mat shaped and pressure activated sensor associated with the first seating location and a second corresponding sensor associated with the second seating location. A wire harness communicates with each of the first and second sensors. A processor driven and control relay operatively communicates with the sensors, via the wire harness, the relay, upon determining a first sensor condition associated with a first unoccupied seating location concurrent with determining a second occupied seating location, activates an audible alarm associated with the vehicle. A presetting driver'"'"'s seat sensor may also be employed to activate the alarm, in the instance of the driver switching off the alarm and, failing to do so, causing a control thermostat to activate the alarm upon an internal vehicle temperature reaching a determined upper or lower threshold.

11. A motor vehicle dual pressure sensor mat alarm system kit, for sensing and generating an alarm signal alerting a designated driver of a child'"'"'s presence in a child seat when vacating the driver'"'"'s seat according comprising, in combination:
-
a plurality of pressure sensor mats, a first sensor mat disposed on a seating surface of a child car seat and a second sensor mat disposing on the seating surface of a driver'"'"'s seat;
a control relay having a first terminal of a set of contacts, said first set of contacts in a normally open position coupled to a fuse adapter associated with a vehicle, and a first terminal of a second set of contacts, said second set of contacts being in a normally open position connected to an electrical ground of the vehicle;
an electrical harness having a first terminal coupled to a positive terminal of said fuse adapter, said fuse adapter being respectively coupled to the vehicle'"'"'s fuse box and the second electrical terminal being coupled to the ground of the vehicle; and
an alarm buzzer operationally coupled to said control relay, DP switch and, upon determining a first sensor condition associated with a first unoccupied seating location concurrent with determining a second occupied seating location, activating an audible alarm associated with the vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
