Abstract

This invention comprises a fire and smoke detector and alarm device comprising a base unit which is recess-mounted into a surface and has at least three female connectors connected with basic wiring attached to each female connector; a battery quick connect locking a battery into the base unit when the battery is pushed into said battery quick connect by a first push; a bottom unit which is removably attached to the base unit using a hand manipulated pole; at least one detector for detecting a prescribed condition in an airstream, the at least one detector connected to the basic wiring; and at least one alarm for projecting a sound when the at least one detector detects the prescribed condition in the airstream, the alarm also connected to the basic wiring; wherein when the battery is locked into said battery quick connect via a first push, said battery provides a power source for the basic wiring; the battery disengages from the battery quick connect via a second push for removal of the battery, said removal terminates of the power source for the basic wiring.

Claims

1. A fire and smoke detector and alarm device, comprising:

a base unit which is recess-mounted into a surface, said base unit having at least three female connectors connected with a basic wiring attached to each of said female connectors;

a battery quick connect, said battery quick connect locking a battery into the base unit when the battery is pushed into said battery quick connect by a first push;

a bottom unit which is removably attached to the base unit using a hand manipulated pole;

at least one detector for detecting a prescribed condition in an airstream, said at least one detector is connected to the basic wiring; and

at least one alarm for projecting a sound when the at least one detector detects the prescribed condition in the airstream, said at least one alarm is connected to the basic wiring;

wherein when the battery is locked into said battery quick connect via a first push, said battery provides a power source for the basic wiring;

the battery disengages from the battery quick connect via a second push for removal of the battery, said removal terminates of the power source for the basic wiring.

2. The fire and smoke detector and alarm device of claim 1, wherein the hand manipulated pole has an upper end with a cap having outwardly extending prongs thereon and said prongs engage at least one peripheral depression on said base unit.

3. The fire and smoke detector and alarm device of claim 1, wherein said bottom unit has male connectors thereon which engage said female connectors by way of rotation of said bottom unit.

4. The fire and smoke detector and alarm device of claim 1, wherein the battery quick connect has at least one flange which acts as a fastener to immobilize the battery when a first push forces the battery into said battery quick connect, and acts as a release when a second push disengages the battery from said battery quick connect.

5. The fire and smoke detector and alarm device of claim 1, wherein the battery quick connect has more than one flange which acts as a fastener to immobilize the battery when a first push forces the battery into said battery quick connect, and acts as a release when a second push disengages the battery from said battery quick connect.

6. The fire and smoke detector and alarm device of claim 1, wherein the battery quick connect is connected an external wiring configuration which attaches said fire and smoke detector and alarm device to a general wiring of a structure in which the surface into which the base unit is recess-mounted, wherein said external wiring configuration allows for a backup power source for said fire and smoke detector and alarm device.

7. A method of inserting and removing a battery into a battery quick connect of a fire and smoke detector and alarm device, comprising:

pushing a battery with a first push into the exposed at least one flange of a battery quick connect, said at least one flange acts as a fastener to immobilize the battery in said battery quick connect; and

pushing a battery with a second push into the exposed at least one flange of the battery quick connect, said at least one flange acts as a release when the second push disengages the battery from said battery quick connect;

wherein immobilization of the battery in the battery quick connect results in connection with a basic wiring configuration and provides a power source for said basic wiring and wherein release of the battery from the quick connect results in removal of the connection with the basic wiring connection and termination of the power source for said basic wiring.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the battery quick connect has more than one flange which acts as a fastener to immobilize the battery when a first push forces the battery into said battery quick connect, and acts as a release when a second push disengages the battery from said battery quick connect.

9. The method of claim 7, wherein the battery quick connect is connected an external wiring configuration which attaches said fire and smoke detector and alarm device to a general wiring of a structure in which the surface into which the base unit is recess-mounted, wherein said external wiring configuration allows for a backup power source for said fire and smoke detector and alarm device.

10. The method of claim 7, wherein each element of said fire and smoke detector and alarm device is serviced by maintaining each element, repairing each element, replacing each element or modifying each element in whole or in part.
