  • Patent number: 11378484
    Abstract: Embodiments generally relate to personal protective equipment (PPE) (such as gloves, shoes/boots, hoods, protective clothing, etc.) for industrial applications. More specifically, the invention relates to using magnetic particles (e.g. incorporated within or attached/affixed to the PPE) so that a magnetic scan may be run to determine a change (e.g. decrease) in initial magnetic field signature (MFS) for the PPE). The change in MFS is used to determine end of service life of the PPE (such that the protective equipment should be retired or repaired).

  • Publication number: 20200275713
    Abstract: A C-shaped connector is provided for establishing a movable connection between a harness and one or more electrically insulating sleeves that are retained during use on the shoulders of a worker. The harness is configured to grip a portion of the worker and thereby provide better anchoring of the electrical rubber insulating sleeves to the worker. The C-shaped connector is configured to attach the electrical rubber insulating sleeves to a single point on the harness, which allows for an increased range of motion of the sleeves. The C-shaped connector can comprise a band of durable material that is longer than it is wide, and being bent in a first direction along its length and being bent along the same first direction along its width. Fasteners can be formed from or coupled to the band of durable material at each end lengthwise and at or about a midpoint.

  • Patent number: 10638801
    Abstract: A harness (10) is provided for retaining a pair of electrical rubber insulating workman sleeves (12) on the shoulders (14) of a worker (16). The harness (10) is configured to grip a portion of the worker and thereby provide better anchoring of the electrical rubber insulating sleeves (12) to the worker. The gripping feature of the harness (10) is provided either in the form of a gripping collar (24) or a pair of fabric gripping sleeves (26), or a combination of the collar (24) and sleeves (26). Further, a C-shaped connector is configured for attaching the electrical rubber insulating sleeves (12) to a single point on a harness, which allows for an increased range of motion of the sleeves (12).

  • Publication number: 20170361567
    Abstract: Embodiments relate generally to systems and methods for providing protection from arc flash. A material for arc flash protection may comprise a first layer of textile material configured to face an arc flash, the first layer comprising a woven or knitted fabric; and a second layer of textile material configured to face a user's skin, the second layer comprising a quilted fabric having at least one oxidized polyacrylonitrile fiber. A method of forming a material for protection from arc flash may comprise providing a first layer of textile material configured to face an arc flash, the first layer comprising a woven or knitted fabric; quilting one or more layers of material to form a second layer of textile material configured to face a user's skin, the second layer comprising at least one oxidized polyacrylonitrile fiber; and attaching the first layer to the second layer to form a completed textile.

  • Publication number: 20170280790
    Abstract: A harness (10) is provided for retaining a pair of electrical rubber insulating workman sleeves (12) on the shoulders (14) of a worker (16). The harness (10) is configured to grip a portion of the worker and thereby provide better anchoring of the electrical rubber insulating sleeves (12) to the worker. The gripping feature of the harness (10) is provided either in the form of a gripping collar (24) or a pair of fabric gripping sleeves (26), or a combination of the collar (24) and sleeves (26). Further, a C-shaped connector is configured for attaching the electrical rubber insulating sleeves (12) to a single point on a harness, which allows for an increased range of motion of the sleeves (12).
