  • Publication number: 20070182425
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a safety mechanism for holiday detectors. When a user properly holds a holiday detector, a safety button is engaged which allows the holiday detector to be turned on. If the safety button is not engaged, the holiday detector cannot be turned on. The holiday detector then remains on only as long as the safety button is engaged. In other embodiments of the invention, a lanyard connects a safety switch on the holiday detector to the user. If the user were to drop the holiday detector, the lanyard would flip the safety switch thus shutting off power to the holiday detector.
