A signal device comprising a partially transparent package containing a plurality of percussively-ignitable flashlamps arranged in an array with respectively associated preenergized striker springs, and a movable member for sequentially releasing the striker springs to fire respective flashlamps in response to successive indexing. The device is adapted to be hand held and the movable member is adapted to be actuated and indexed directly by hand.

Means for activating a multilamp flashlamp article in response to movement of a door. An activator having several upstanding engagement members is operatively joined to the base portion of a two-part housing. Movement of a pivoted arm portion of the housing toward the base causes a casing member to move about the activator whereby each of the engagement arms will activate a respective lamp unit within the flashlamp article. The invention is ideally suited for use within an intrusion alarm system.

A photoflash device which includes a plastic substrate, lamp-firing circuitry located on a first surface of the substrate, a disconnect switch also secured to the first surface of the substrate and electrically joined to the lamp-firing circuitry, at least one electrically activated photoflash lamp located above the switch for activating said switch upon ignition thereof, and a solid, light-transmitting polymer located about and encapsulating the glass envelope of the lamp. A thin, light-transmitting polyester member is located over the switch to protect the switch during formation of the device. The polyester member serves to prevent contact between the resin which forms the polymer and switch during thisformation, thus assuring close placement of the lamp's envelope and switch, said placement thereby assuring proper activation (e. g. , severance) of the switch.

431359

A miniature photoflash unit which is electrically activated when the unit is electrically connected to a power source (piezoelectric crystal) associated with many of today's pocket type cameras. The unit is capable of being positioned atop the camera and comprises a small planar housing, lamp-firing circuitry positioned externally of the housing, several (e. g. , ten) subminiature flash lamps secured to the base and having lead-in wires passing through the base to effect electrical contact with the lamp-firing circuitry, a tabular mounting device is inserted within the camera to provide electrical connection between the circuitry and power source, and means for covering the externally located lamp-firing circuitry. The circuitry may be positioned either on an external surface of the housing or on a planar surface of the cover means which is attached to the housing.

Activation means for activating at least one percussive flashlamp unit located within a flashlamp article. An activator moves within a casing when released by a pivotal retaining arm to engage and effect release of the flashlamp unit's striker spring. The retaining arm provides release of the activator in response to external actuation, e. g. , the opening of a door or window.
