Filed:

Aug 28, 1998

Appl. No.:

9/141590

Inventors:

Thomas J. Batko - Wallingford CT

Assignee:

Hubbell Incorporated - Orange CT

International Classification:

H02H 300

US Classification:

361 939

Abstract:

A finger guard for use with an electronic device is provided for restricting physical access to a component of the electronic device having an uninsulated surface adapted to carry a voltage. The apparatus includes a housing which defines a first opening and which is adapted to mount to the electronic device so that the first opening permits passage of passive infrared energy and ambient light to the component. The apparatus further includes a projection arrangement, extending from the housing, which limits physical access to the surface of the component through the first opening, and defining a second opening through which the infrared energy can enter and pass through the first opening to the component. An electronic circuit can also be provided which limits current being provided to an uninsulated component, such as an infrared or ambient light detector of the electronic device, from a circuit of the electronic device. The apparatus includes a resistive element which couples a terminal of the uninsulated component to ground, and a capacitive element which also couples the terminal of the uninsulated component to ground.

Abstract:

An audio system that is constructed and arranged to be carried by a headwear that is adapted to be worn on a person's head. The audio system includes one or two sound delivery assemblies, each sound delivery assembly comprising a housing, and a loudspeaker that generates sound in the housing, where the housing has a sound-emitting opening that emits sound generated by the loudspeaker. There is a wiring harness that is constructed and arranged to transmit audio signals from an audio device to the loudspeakers. There are one or two coupling devices. Each coupling device is constructed and arranged to releasably couple a sound delivery assembly to the headwear such that the sound emitting opening of the sound delivery assembly is located proximate an ear when the headwear is on the person's head.
