Problems solved by technology

[0005] In particular, in the use of tools, even when the user has found himself / herself in a dangerous situation, the user may be injured by the continued movement of the tool
However, the user is so concerned with the area for attachment / fixation to the body part that instead of stopping the tool (for example, by releasing the button of the drill), the user tries to break the body part out of danger (thus even further increases the risk of injury)

Embodiment Construction

[0015] With reference to the aforementioned figures, numeral 1 designates in its entirety a device 1 for protecting a user when using a device 2 that is at least partially in motion, according to the invention.

[0016] More specifically, the device 1 comprises management means 3 of the part in motion, which, in use, are connected to the part of the device 2 in motion. More specifically, the management means 3 can be configured between an enabled state, in which the part of the device 2 can move, and an interrupted state, in which the movement of the part of the device 2 is stopped. In detail, the management device 3 can be connected to the system for controlling the moving parts of the equipment 2 , regardless of the type of moving means connected to the part in motion. In other words, the moving device may be defined by an electric motor, an actuator, a switch, an internal combustion engine, or the like.

[0017] For example, in case the device 2 is driven by an internal co...

Abstract

Described is an apparatus (1) for safeguarding users during use of apparatuses (2) with at least a part in motion, comprising a management device (3) of the motion in use connected to the apparatus (2) and configurable between an enabling condition of the motion and a condition of interrupting the motion. The apparatus (1) comprises a device (7) for measuring at least one biometric value associated in use with the body of the user to measure this value biometric and a processing unit (9) operatively connected to the management device (3) and to the measuring device (7) configured to interruptthe movement of the part when the measured biometric value moves away from reference biometric value.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for protecting a user when using equipment that is at least partially in motion. More specifically, the invention belongs to the field of safety of tools used by users at work or at home. Examples of these power tools are: drills, chainsaws, nail guns, etc. [0002] Preferably, the invention relates to a part of a power tool, wherein the movement of said part is driven electrically. But the invention is also applicable to equipment whose moving parts are moved by an internal combustion engine (eg a chainsaw) or other means not expressly described herein. Background technique [0003] The following mainly deals with tools of the electric type, without excluding the possibility of tools powered by internal combustion engines or other means. [0004] In fact, according to the prior art, during the use of electric tools, users may injure themselves due to the movement of the tool itself. For exam...
