Abstract
A metal detector that is to be attached to a human appendage and preferably the wrist and hand of a human. A metal detector includes a housing which is to be worn strictly by the human hand or the hand and the wrist. One version of the metal detector would be in the form of a glove. The second version would be in the form of a flexible base which is mounted between the hand and the wrist by a strap arrangement. Within both versions, there is a search coil located in the palm area of the hand. A metal detection circuit battery source is mounted on the portion of the housing that is located directly against the backside of the hand.
Claims8
A metal detector adapted to be mounted on a human appendage comprising:
- a base which includes strap means, said strap means to be used for securement by being tied around an appendage;
- a metal detection circuit mounted on said base, said metal detection circuit including a search coil, said metal detection including an annunciator, whereby upon said search coil being located in close proximity to a piece of metal said annunciator is activated becoming known to a human user;
- said strap means including an elastic strap which is to automatically adjust to different sizes of appendages;
- and
- said search coil being mounted on said elastic strap.
A metal detector for mounting on a human hand and wrist comprising:
- a solid sheet material base, said base being flexible;
- a first strap for securing said base onto the hand;
- a second strap securing said base onto the wrist, said second strap being spaced from said first strap;
- and
- a metal detection circuit mounted on said base, said metal detection circuit including a search coil, said metal detection circuit including an annunciator, whereby upon said search coil being located in close proximity to a piece of metal said annunciator is activated becoming known to a human user;
- and
- by said base being flexible limited normal movement between the hand and the wrist is permitted.
A metal detector mountable on a human hand comprising:
- a glove mountable on the hand and supported by the hand;
- and
- a metal detection circuit mounted on said glove, said metal detection circuit including a search coil, said metal detection circuit including an annunciator, whereby upon said search coil being located in close proximity to a piece of metal said annunciator is activated becoming known to the human user.
A metal detector for mounting solely on a human hand comprising:
- a sheet material housing mountable on the hand and supported by the hand and leaving the hand free to perform other tasks such as grasping of a discovered metallic object;
- and
- a metal detection circuit mounted on said housing, said metal detection circuit including a search coil, said metal detection circuit including an annunciator, whereby upon said search coil being located in close proximity to a piece of metal said annunciator is activated becoming known to the human user.
