Electrical signal and alarm protection proximity device
First Claim
1. An electronic signal and alarm protection proximity device which comprises:
- (a) a transmitter component for creating an RF signal and having a rectangular section cavity that extends completely therethrough;
(b) a band assembly for securing said transmitter component to a person or equipment and having electrically conductive material adhered along two separate portions of an outer surface thereof which separate portions are spaced apart transversely to the band'"'"'s length;
a pair of transmitter contacts housed within said rectangular section cavity;
said electrically conductive material on said two separate portions making intimate contact with respective contacts of the pair of contacts;
the two separate portions being securable in intimate contact with each other to form said band into a loop and complete a DC power circuit path through said contacts, whereby said transmitter component is activated; and
,(c) means responsive to severing said band for disabling said transmitter.

Abstract
An electronic signal and alarm protection proximity device is disclosed which may be strapped by a band assembly to a person'"'"'s appendage or a permanent part of a piece of equipment. The instant invention transmits a signature encoded RF signal distinguishable from others to be monitored by an appropriate receiving station. When the device is taken out of range of the station or the band is severed the design is such that the signal at the receiving station is no longer received and an indication is thus had that the person or the equipment to which the device is or was secured may be leaving the allowed range of proximity and thus a search or other measures may be immediately initiated.
