Abstract
In accordance with embodiments of the invention, a safety device for an electric power tool is provided. The safety device includes a body and a power source. A processing circuit is contained within the body. At least one sensor is connected to the processing circuit and is operable to detect an operational status of an electric power tool. An alert device is connected to the processing circuit and is operable to generate an alert. The processing circuit activates the alert device to generate an alert based on the operational status of the electric power tool detected by the at least one sensor.
Claims26
A safety device for a portable electric power tool, comprising:
- a body;
- a power source;
- a processing circuit contained within said body;
- at least one sensor, said at least one sensor connected to said processing circuit, said at least one sensor operable to detect an operational status of a portable electric power tool;
- an alert device, said alert device connected to said processing circuit, said alert device operable to generate an alert;
- and
- wherein said processing circuit activates said alert device to generate an alert based on said operational status of said portable electric power tool detected by said at least one sensor.
A safety device for a portable electric power tool, comprising:
- a body;
- a power source;
- a processing circuit contained within said body;
- a plurality of sensors, each sensor of said plurality of sensors connected to said processing circuit, each of said plurality of sensors operable to detect an operational status of a portable electric power tool;
- an alert device, said alert device connected to said processing circuit, said alert device operable to generate an alert;
- and
- wherein said processing circuit activates said alert device to generate an alert based on said operational status of said portable electric power tool detected by said sensors.
A method for generating an alert when a portable electric power tool is in use, comprising:
- providing a safety device for a portable electric power tool, said safety device comprising:
- a body;
- a power source;
- a processing circuit contained within said body;
- at least one sensor, said at least one sensor connected to said processing circuit, said at least one sensor operable to detect an operational status of a portable electric power tool;
- and
- an alert device, said alert device connected to said processing circuit, said alert device operable to generate an alert;
- detecting, by operation of said at least one sensor, an operational status of a portable electric power tool;
- analyzing, by operation of said processing circuit, whether said portable electric power tool is operating based on said operational status detected by said at least one sensor;
- and
- activating, by operation of said processing circuit, said alert device to generate an alert if said portable electric power tool is operating.
