Abstract
A portable fire alarm device comprising fire detecting means and alarm means powered from a self-contained power supply. The power to the detector and alarm is through a normally closed switch of the type such as a mercury switch which may be opened by tilting the device to a predetermined angle from the vertical so that the alarm may be shut off. A second normally open switch of the mercury type connects the power supply directly to the alarm device and is so oriented that tilting the device to a predetermined angle from the vertical closes said switch and energizes the alarm to test the condition of the battery.
