  • VOLTAGE DETECTING GLOVE
    Publication number: 20190101573
    Abstract: A voltage detecting glove comprises a glove liner and an outer glove shell. A conductive antenna is disposed inside the outer glove shell but separated from the glove liner by a buffer. The antenna is connected to electronic circuitry configured to sense a voltage indicative of the proximity of the antenna to an AC electric field resulting from energized AC source, and to activate an alarm if the strength of the field exceeds a preselected threshold limit.
