5 Light bea n dctecting systems have commonly been used to detect the presence of people in doorways and the like, comprising a ligh~ source on one side of an area, di~icted a~ a light dctector on the opposite side of the area A per60n passing through the area may bloclc the Iight between the source and the detector, thereby activating apparatus. Such a system 10 ' suffers from a number of disadvantages however, in comparison to a passive infr~-red detection system. A light bcam may be intermpted (and apparatus thereby acdvated) by a number of things other th~n peoplc, 6uch as shopping truDdlers or producc, and may bc continuously activatcdbysuchanobjectleftintheligh~beam. Suchoccu~renccsmightwellbecommonina6upermarlcctor6unilarsituation,andtheapparatusmightcometobeseonas undesirablc by cus~omers and/or staff as a con~equence.

A furthcr disadvanuge with such scnsing apparanl~ is thc noed fQr both a light omitter and a 20 lightdctcctorrcquiringaddi~ionalspaccandneedingcarof~ilaliuunontofthenvopar~. The possibili~y of onc or both pans being lcnockcd out of alignment is reladvely high in a supennar~et ai~le, and could }~ve undesirable consequences.

25 Acdve infra-red detector 6y6tcms tend to suffer from similar di6advantages. Pressure sen~ors, possibly in tho fonn of mau or lines acros8 tbe floor of tbe aisk, could be u~ed, but arc prone to being activatod by articlc~ such a~ trundle~ orproduce accidentally lofton Plcm, and pro~ide something of an ob~taclc to smooth pa~sage along an aide.

A pa~sivo infra-rod de~ecdon system is found preferable to any of the above systoms.
par~icularly in a store, ~upermarlce~ or 6imilar applicadon. Thc dctecdon ~ystem can compri6e a ~ingle unit, rather than a separate signal gcnerator and signal reccivcr, and does 35 not necd to be carofully aligned, but rather can be generally directed u a suitablo atea.

A pa~ive infra-red dctcctor can be set to distingui6h heat source~ in an ~rca havin~ a tempcraturewithinanan~w,specificrange,colrespondingforexamplcwiththetemperamre 5 rangc of human bodies. ln thic way, apparatus can bc providcd which is activated substandally only by thc prcscnce of a person, and not by other objects cuch as shopping trundlers.

10 Additionally the apparatus can bc arranged to activate upon detccdon of a change in tcmperaturecors~spondingtothetemperaturcofapcrson. Whenapersoncntet~thcarcain question, the apparatu~ will be acdvated, but if that p r60n remains in the area, it will not ~ ~ -condnuously be reactivat¢d, because thc temperaturc in thc arca will not change. If that pcrson leaves the area, or another pcrcon enters the area, a change in ~etnperaturc corresponding to human body temperatu~e will bo do~ected, and the appar~tus activatçd. In this way, continuous repedtion of a display to thc s~me pcrson can bc avoided, or u least limited, such that it is lcs~ ely to be found annoying or aggravating to potendal 20 Customer~.

The audio circuit 11 may take a variety of common fo~ns within thc ccope o the pre6ent invention. It may compri~c reladvely sirnplc apparatùs adaptod to producc a singlc notc or sount, or a scnes of notcs forming a melody, for a sct period, Tbe volumc to whiCh thc 30 soundisamp~ andthclengthoftimeforwhichit9oundsmaybesuitedtothcparticu~

The pa~sive vlsual di~play of thc prefer~d apparatus comprises a platc 24 be~ing sign 21.
P~eferablytheplate20i~whollyorpar~1ytransparent,andthe6ign21isprintedonpaperor 5 card, to be held in a reccss 22 in the back facc of the plite 20. Prcfcrably the means by which the sign 21 is held in the recess 22 allows it to be removed and replaced, such that mcssagcs bourne by the apparatus may convcnicntly bo changed from time to timc. If one or more fllters 19 arc to be used with tho apparatus, these may be u6ed to prcso thc dgn 21 into tbe 10 rcccss 22 and hold it i~place, as shown in Pigure 2.

Thc sign 21 prcferably canies a message which a potcntial customer is intended to f~ad or see, preferably rclatlng to goots on an adjacent ~helf. Tbis migh~ in nonna1 usc includc thc name of a par~culat product, and infofmadon relating to it 6uch as a sp~cial prlcc or notablc featurc.

In thc prcferred fonn of thc invcntion, the plate 20 compri~e~ tho f~nt of tbo ca~ing of tbe 20 articlc. Thc apertures 16, through whicb tho sensors lS are tirectod and tluough which sound from thc audio circuit 11 emanates, at~ formed in thi~ plate 20. P~tcd or tcxturcd areas might also bc formed in thc platc 20 to act as ~crecns or ftlt#rs for thc lights 1?.

2S A passive visua1 display might not be requircd, particu~arly if dlc audio circuit 11 can produce a spoken message, or tl e ~isual display circuit 12 can pf~duco a wTitton mcssagc witharrangementsofligbts 17,LCDscrecnsordmilar. Howevcr,apasslvcvlsualdisplay appears prefcrablc at prescnt, in that it providc~ a permanent display, even when thc 30 apparatus ha6 not bcen acdvated, and also because it can be rclativcly ine~penslve und docs not requirc power.

The ca~ing of the plefcrrcd apparatu6 compriscs a cabinet 23, with the plate 20 foIming a 3S frontfacc. Therear24Ofthccabinethasaho~izon~alindentedch~nnel25thcrcinbywhichthe cabinet may bc ftxed onto a shelf. ln nonnal usc a shelf is dotted into tho channcl 25, 9$603 ~:

Apertures arc provided through the rear of thc cablnet itl the horizontal channel 25, through which the bolts 28 from insidc the cabinet 23 fix the cabine~ to thc braclcet.
When thc cabinet is fixed to thc braclcet in Ihio manner, the ocrews 27 cannot roadily be o accessed, and consequendy the bracket cannot readily be removed from the shclf to which it binds tho cabinet.
