Mercury switch

Abstract

This device is a Mercury Switch used to detect rapid temperature spikes and possible fire in a room or around the device. It is to be placed in a cell phone and or other electrical and mobile devices.

Claims

1. A device comprising of a glass tube with two electrical diodes in it. One at the top and one at the bottom filled with mercury at the bottom of the glass bulb.

2. This device is a Mercury Switch. As the temperature rises the mercury rises to the top of the electrical diode completing an electrical circuit sounding an alarm letting you know there is a potential fire or hazardous environment in the room or the area around the device.

3. This device can also be used not only for a cellular phone but a computer, a T.V., a camera, and any other electrical and or mobile device.
