Abstract: A coat with an integrated drag harness. The harness is a single strip of material, such as a flat webbing or rope that extends through a slit in the center of the back of the coat torso below the neck opening. Inside the torso, the strip is a yoke that follows a path that runs from the slit, around one arm hole, across the slit, around the other arm hole, and ending at the slit. The yoke is secured to the torso by stitching. The strip extends a length outside of the slit to form a strap that is at least is four feet long. Optionally, the end of the strap has a handle. Optionally, the strap is stored in a pocket in the back of the torso.

Abstract: An electrical arc flash protection blanket for protecting workers from electrical arc flashes. The blanket is composed of two or more layers where the layer closest to the electrical arc source is of a fiberglass material and the remainder of the layers are of fiberglass and/or a flame-retardant (FR) materials. The layers overlap so that the they can be attached around the entire perimeter. Preferred fiberglass fabrics are woven with a warp yarn break strength between about 0.7 and 1.5 times the fill yarn break strength. FR materials include FR cotton, para-aramids, and meta-aramids. A fastening structure is used to install the blanket for use. Contemplated fastening structures include straps with temporary fasteners around the blanket perimeter and eyelets. Optional integral handles facilitate carrying and installation.

Abstract: A method and fabric structure that employs a napped fabric to protect a subject from an arc flash. At least one napped fabric layer with an increase in fabric thickness due to napping of at least 35% is incorporated into a normal arc protective fabric structure to increase EBT by at least 8%.

Abstract: A combined smoke detection and furnace shut-off device is provided having a smoke detection means which is disposable adjacent a furnace for detecting the presence of smoke unnaturally emitted from the furnace, a means for stopping ignition within the furnace, and means responsive to detection of the smoke by said smoke detection means for activating the ignition stopping means.

Abstract: A two-part goggle ventilator includes a pin on one part and a pin receiving opening in the other part providing for quick, convenient and reliable attachment of the ventilator in a complementary aperture in a goggle. When assembled on the goggle, the ventilator allows air to flow through the goggle but provides high resistance to intrusion of liquids and other foreign matter.
