Wearable electric field detector

A wearable electric field detector for detecting an electric field generated by a high-voltage electric source in an environment, the wearable electric field detector comprising:

• a housing having a top wall, first side wall and a second opposite side wall, the housing providing a cavity in which electrical components are provided and a bore which is open to an outer surface of the housing;
• an indicator operatively coupled to the electrical components and configured to provide an alert to a wearer indicative of a strength of a detected electric field;
• a clip coupled to the housing by a pivotal connection, the clip including a first arm section which overlays a top wall of the housing, and a second arm section which overlays a front wall of the housing;
• a first pair of spaced apart projections extending from the top wall of the housing between the first arm section of the clip and the first side wall of the housing, the first pair of spaced apart projections forming a first groove therebetween, and a second pair of spaced apart projections extending from the top wall of the housing between the first arm section of the clip and the second side wall of the housing, the second pair of spaced apart projections forming a second groove therebetween;
• a pin mounted within a bore in the housing;
• and
• a spring within the bore and engaged with the housing and the pin, wherein the spring biases the pin outward from the housing and into contact with the second arm section of the clip.
