The Power
Helmet(TM) protects
power cord connections in wet or
snowy weather. It's design evolved from continuous power problems
on the job site.
Power Helmet(TM) can
be repeatedly opened and closed in horrible conditions, with dirt
and grit not affecting the function. The Power Helmet is a new
product that is designed to simply encourage water away from the
power connections.
The situation on construction sites these days are
complicated by GFI's or GFCI's which trip at the slightest hint
of water. There are cords snaking to the temporary power pole from
all trades, and usually multiple cords for each user.
When someone's cord gets wet from sitting on the
ground or when it rains and everything is wet, the entire job goes
silent. It's difficult to know whose tools are the cause, and even
more difficult to remedy an already-wet connection. This causes
delays that cost everyone time and money.
The Power Helmet(TM) has
a raised base on which the connection sits. It is sloped to encourage
water away from the connection. There is a drain slot that goes
full circle around the base, and the same slots that accommodate
the entry of the cords into the case area act as the drains for
any moisture. There are no areas of the base that allow water to
migrate towards the center.
All of the horizontal surfaces are sloped away from
the center. The slots for the cords are designed to create two
different results. They are lower on the outside than the inside,
thus acting as eves, or extra protection from water intrusion.
They also force the cords downward, so that water cannot wick up
towards the base.
The Power Helmet(TM) has
a velcro strap enclosed which is
run around the closed unit, securing
it from being dislodged. The expanded
polypropylene blended foam that the units are made from is impervious
to water, negates condensation, and is remarkably strong. The Power
Helmet will provide an extended period of water protection for
your connections.
