Abstract
A safety device configured to provide an indication of potential issues associated with a retention nut via a nut cap movably attached to a base. The nut cap(s) can have an electronic sensor configured to acquire and store digital data associated with a corresponding nut. Nut cap(s) can be coupled with a nut rotation indicator configured to provide an indication of a rotation of a corresponding nut.
Claims24
A safety device comprising:
- a base portion;
- a first nut cap;
- wherein the first nut cap is rotationally coupled to a first portion of the base, wherein the first nut cap comprises an electronic nut sensor and a nut rotation indictor;
- and
- wherein the electronic nut sensor is configured to acquire and store digital nut data representing an environmental state of at least one nut corresponding to the associated nut cap, and wherein the nut rotation indictor is configured to provide an indication of a rotation of the at least one nut.
