Abstract
An ornamental enclosure and an emergency alert device comprising of a removable housing with a through hole with a actuator button placed within the through hole that is adjacent to the activation button of the alert device. Retainer tabs hold the alert device in place. The ornamental enclosure is distinguished by attachment mechanisms that are a belt buckle configured to engage a belt or a fastener configured to engage a wristband or bracelet. There is a free floating activation push button placed within the ornamental housing which depresses an adjacent actuator button that is positioned to engage the activation button of the alert device. Another embodiment is an ornamental enclosure with a through hole housing common internal emergency alert circuitry, a generic energy source and an activation push button placed within the through hole. The push button is adjacent to an actuator that when pressed causes the actuator to engage a common micro circuit board switch activation mechanism of the generic internal emergency alert circuitry. A variety of durable materials, styles and attachments may be utilized.
