摘要

A light-scattering-type smoke detector having a projecting element and a light receiving element surrounded by a labyrinth is disclosed wherein the labyrinth comprises an array of a plurality of light shielding columns arranged in a circle each having a substantially J-shaped cross section, and the head portion of each column is inclined relative to the bisector of an angle formed between the lines connecting a first reflecting point with the projecting and light receiving elements, the light shielding columns having darkly colored light reflective surfaces.
