Abstract

The personal electrical injury protection device includes a first wireless transmitter, a first receiver, and a second receiver. The first wireless transmitter is adapted to be worn on an end user. The first wireless 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 receiver. 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 wireless transmitter that is adapted to detect a voltage surge on an end user;

the first wireless 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 wireless transmitter is adapted to be worn on said end user;

wherein the first wireless transmitter is in connection with at least one electrical sensor, which is also in connection with at least one battery that is fitted in a first battery compartment therein;

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 wireless transmitter to generate a first wireless signal;

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 the strap member contains the at least one battery that is located within the first battery compartment;

wherein the at least one battery provides electrical needs for the first wireless transmitter, the at least one electrical sensor, at least one USB Port, and a first central processing unit;

wherein the first central processing unit is in direct connection with the at least one electrical sensor and the first wireless transmitter;

wherein the at least one electrical sensor is able to detect the change in voltage, and upon doing so, the first central processing unit will cause the first wireless transmitter to signal the first receiver via the first wireless signal;

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

wherein the first receiver is able to generate the audible and/or visual alarm upon detection of the first wireless signal from the first wireless 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 receiver on/off switch, at least one receiver antenna, a second battery compartment, at least one receiver SD Port, and at least one receiver USB Port.

2. The personal electrical injury protection device according to claim 1 wherein the first wireless receiver is located inside of the first receiver housing.

3. The personal electrical injury protection device according to claim 2 wherein the second battery compartment houses at least one second battery therein;

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

4. The personal electrical injury protection device according to claim 3 wherein the first receiver is further defined with a second central processing unit that is inside of the first receiver housing.

5. The personal electrical injury protection device according to claim 4 wherein the second central processing unit is in wired communication with the speaker, the strobe light, the flashlight, the first wireless receiver, the receiver on/off switch, the at least one receiver antenna, the at least one receiver SD Port, the at least one receiver USB Port, and the at least one second battery.

6. The personal electrical injury protection device according to claim 5 wherein the second receiver is also in wireless communication with a second transmitter.

7. The personal electrical injury protection device according to claim 6 wherein the second transmitter is located in the first receiver housing;

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

8. The personal electrical injury protection device according to claim 7 wherein the second receiver includes a second wireless receiver that detects a second wireless signal generated from the first wireless transmitter;

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

9. The personal electrical injury protection device according to claim 8 wherein the second receiver includes a breaker armature that is rotatably engaged with respect to the second receiver housing.

10. The personal electrical injury protection device according to claim 9 wherein the breaker armature is adapted to rotate said main breaker of said electrical panel such that the breaker armature is able to adaptively turn off all electrical power at the electrical panel in an emergency situation.

11. The personal electrical injury protection device according to claim 10 wherein the second receiver housing includes a magnetic member that is adapted to secure the second receiver housing against the electrical panel.
