Abstract
A protective device (10) comprising a glove (12) constructed of an electrically conductive material (14) to be worn on a hand (16) of a person (18). A structure (20) is for grounding the glove (12). Spark plug wires (22) in an engine (24) of a motor vehicle (26) can be handled by the person (18) without danger of electrical shock. This will also minimize damage to an ignition module and/or distributor components (28) by grounding high voltage from a coil (30) in the engine (24) of the motor vehicle (26).
Claims23
A protective device comprising:
- a) a glove constructed of an electrically conductive material to be worn on a hand of a person;
- and
- b) means for grounding said glove, so that spark plug wires in an engine of a motor vehicle can be handled by the person without danger of electrical shock, and to minimize damage to an ignition module and/or distributor components by grounding high voltage from a coil in the engine of the motor vehicle, said grounding means including:
- i) an elongated wire having a stranded group of solid cylindrical conductors having a low resistance to current flow and an insulated sleeve over said stranded group of solid cylindrical conductors:
- ii) means for electrically attaching in a removable manner a first end of said elongated wire to a metal framework of the motor vehicle;
- and
- iii) means for electrically attaching in a permanent manner a second end of said elongated wire to said glove.
