Abstract

An electronically secured money belt has a pouch attached to an elongated waist band and an electronic control circuit. The elongated waist band includes a wire mesh circuit electrically coupled to the electronic control circuit whereby damaging one or more wire elements of the wire mesh circuit causes the electronic control circuit to activate an audible alarm. In some embodiments, pouch includes a closure, such as a snap, button, or zipper that doubles as an electronic switch electrically coupled to the electronic control circuit. The closure closes the electronic control circuit to activate the security system. A master switch is located on the waistband and is electrically coupled to the electronic control circuit. The master switch is operable to activate or deactivate said electronic control circuit and therefore the security system. A magnet-attachable accessory engages a magnet on the belt to provide an auxiliary means to activate the security system.

Claims

1. A money belt, comprising:

a pouch disposed on an elongated waist band;

an electronic control circuit;

said elongated waist band including a wire mesh circuit electrically coupled to said electronic control circuit; and

wherein damaging one or more wire elements of said wire mesh circuit causes said electronic control circuit to activate an audible alarm.

2. The money belt of claim 1, wherein said pouch includes a closure means, said closure means comprising an electronic switch electrically coupled to said electronic control circuit, wherein said closure means is operable to close said electronic control circuit.

3. The money belt of claim 1, further including a master switch disposed on said waistband, said switch electrically coupled to said electronic control circuit, wherein said switch is operable to activate or deactivate said electronic control circuit.

4. The money belt of claim 1, wherein said electronic control circuit includes a power supply.

5. The money belt of claim 1, wherein said pouch includes a secondary wire mesh circuit electrically coupled to said electronic control circuit, wherein damaging one or more wire elements of said secondary wire mesh circuit causes said electronic control circuit to activate an audible alarm.

6. The money belt of claim 1, further including a magnet electronically coupled to said electronic control circuit, wherein upon attaching an opposing magnet to said magnet closes said electronic control circuit.

7. The money belt of claim 6, wherein removal of said opposing magnet causes said audible alarm to sound.
