Abstract

The personal electrical injury protection device includes a first transmitter, a first receiver, and a second receiver. The first transmitter is adapted to be worn on an end user. The first transmitter is in wired connection with at least one electrical sensor. The at least one electrical sensor is adapted to be attached to a limb of said end user, and is able to detect a change in voltage, and upon doing so shall signal the first transmitter. The first receiver is in wireless communication with the first transmitter, and includes a speaker, and at least one light. The second receiver is adapted to turn off the main circuit breaker in order to stop electricity to be transmitted to all applicable circuits, and of which an end user has come into contact.

Claims

1. A personal electrical injury protection device comprising:

a first transmitter that is adapted to detect a voltage surge on an end user;

the first transmitter is in wireless communication with a first receiver that emits an audible and/or visible alarm;

a second receiver is in wireless communication with said first receiver;

said second receiver is adapted to turn off a main breaker of an electrical panel;

wherein the first transmitter is in wired connection with at least one electrical sensor;

wherein the at least one electrical sensor is adapted to be attached to a limb of said end user, and is able to detect a change in voltage, and upon doing so shall signal the first transmitter;

wherein the at least one electrical sensor includes a strap member that is adapted to wrap around the limb of the end user in order to secure the at least one electrical sensor thereto;

wherein a wire extends from the at least one electrical sensor to the first transmitter;

wherein the first transmitter includes an on/off switch and a light indicator;

wherein the first transmitter is further defined with a first housing that includes the on/off switch, the light indicator, and from which the wire extends to the at least one electrical sensor;

wherein the first housing includes a battery compartment on a rear first housing surface;

wherein the battery compartment houses at least one battery therein, and which is used to provide electrical needs for the first transmitter;

wherein the first receiver is in wireless communication with the first transmitter;

wherein the first receiver is able to generate an audible and/or visual alarm upon detection of a first wireless signal from the first transmitter;

wherein the first receiver is further defined with a first receiver housing that includes a speaker, a strobe light, a flashlight, a first wireless receiver, a first on/off switch, a first light indicator, and a first battery compartment;

wherein the first wireless receiver is located inside of the first receiver housing;

wherein the first battery compartment houses another at least one battery therein;

wherein the at least one battery is used to provide the electrical needs of the first receiver;

wherein the first receiver also includes a first central processing unit that is inside of the first receiver housing;

wherein the first central processing unit is in wired communication with the speaker, the strobe light, the flashlight, the first wireless receiver, the first on/off switch, the first light indicator, and the another at least one battery;

wherein the second receiver is in wireless communication with a second transmitter;

wherein the second transmitter is located in the first receiver;

wherein the second transmitter is in wired communication with the first central processing unit, and communicates from the first receiver over to the second receiver;

wherein the second receiver includes a second wireless receiver that detects a second wireless signal generated from the first transmitter;

wherein the second receiver includes a second receiver housing that houses the second wireless receiver;

wherein the second receiver includes a breaker armature that is rotatably engaged with respect to the second receiver housing;

wherein the breaker armature is mechanically rotated via a servomotor located inside of the second receiver housing.

2. The personal electrical injury protection device according to claim 1 wherein the breaker armature is adapted to rotate said main breaker of said electrical panel;

wherein the use of the second receiver is to turn off all electrical power at the electrical panel via the breaker armature.

3. The personal electrical injury protection device according to claim 2 wherein the second receiver housing includes a magnetic member that is adapted to secure the second receiver housing against the electrical panel.

4. A personal electrical injury protection device comprising:

a first transmitter that is adapted to detect a voltage surge on an end user;

the first transmitter is in wireless communication with a first receiver that emits an audible and/or visible alarm;

a second receiver is in wireless communication with said first receiver;

said second receiver is adapted to turn off a main breaker of an electrical panel;

wherein the first transmitter is in wired connection with at least one electrical sensor;

wherein the at least one electrical sensor is adapted to be attached to a limb of said end user, and is able to detect a change in voltage, and upon doing so shall signal the first transmitter;

wherein the at least one electrical sensor includes a strap member that is adapted to wrap around the limb of the end user in order to secure the at least one electrical sensor thereto;

wherein a wire extends from the at least one electrical sensor to the first transmitter;

wherein the first transmitter includes an on/off switch and a light indicator;

wherein the first transmitter is further defined with a first housing that includes the on/off switch, the light indicator, and from which the wire extends to the at least one electrical sensor;

wherein the first housing includes a battery compartment on a rear first housing surface;

wherein the battery compartment houses at least one battery therein, and which is used to provide electrical needs for the first transmitter;

wherein the first receiver is in wireless communication with the first transmitter;

wherein the first receiver is able to generate an audible and/or visual alarm upon detection of a first wireless signal from the first transmitter;

wherein the first receiver is further defined with a first receiver housing that includes a speaker, a strobe light, a flashlight, a first wireless receiver, a first on/off switch, a first light indicator, and a first battery compartment;

wherein the first wireless receiver is located inside of the first receiver housing;

wherein the first battery compartment houses another at least one battery therein;

wherein the at least one battery is used to provide the electrical needs of the first receiver;

wherein the first receiver also includes a first central processing unit that is inside of the first receiver housing;

wherein the first central processing unit is in wired communication with the speaker, the strobe light, the flashlight, the first wireless receiver, the first on/off switch, the first light indicator, and the another at least one battery;

wherein the second receiver is in wireless communication with a second transmitter;

wherein the second transmitter is located in the first receiver;

wherein the second transmitter is in wired communication with the first central processing unit, and communicates from the first receiver over to the second receiver;

wherein the second receiver includes a second wireless receiver that detects a second wireless signal generated from the first transmitter;

wherein the second receiver includes a second receiver housing that houses the second wireless receiver;

wherein the second receiver includes a breaker armature that is rotatably engaged with respect to the second receiver housing;
