Abstract

A device with a plug 1 and socket 2. Electronic circuitry monitors the current drawn by connected appliances to detect when they are placed into standby mode, whereupon the device cuts power to the appliance. A reset button may be used to restore power to the appliance, preferably a timer allows thirty seconds for the user to switch on the appliance after the reset button is actuated, otherwise power to the appliance is once again cut. A status LED may be used to indicate that a load is being drawn.

GADGET MASTER
This is a handy piece of design that can help you save money on bills when you go away on holiday or away from home for a couple of hours or more (work or shopping/social activities), saving you money on energy bills when you are not using your equipment.
Statement of invention.
For you to have a piece of mind on your bills, an energy using monitoring equipment will help you save money on bills and use less electricity day in day out even when you are going out for a few hours. The monitor will sense whether you are using any particular equipment or not, including TV, Sky Box, DVD Player, Play station, Phone charger, Free view Box, Surround sound system...and many more.
The Gadget Master is very handy when you can not be bothered to switch off your equipment from the socket outlet as it will do that for you.
By pressing a reset button, the Gadget Master will connect your equipment to electrical energy making it ready for normal use.
This equipment in not designed for use on Fridges/Freezers as they are intended to run 24 hours a day.
Advantages of using the Gadget Master.
1. The Gadget Master uses milli watts of energy to control larger devices which can use more power when not in use, saving energy use.
2. Power is completely isolated from any load on both Live and Neutral conductors of a system.
3. Electrical fires due to devices being left connected to power when not in use can be avoided therefore saving lives and property.
4. Very easy to operate and by physically interacting with the Gadget Master, it reassures the user of a peaceful mind, reliability and trust.
5. Can be used on 1 lOv (modification required) AC or 240v AC equipment.
Detailed description
The Gadget Master (Figure 2 part 2) connects your gadgets to a normal wall socket (Figure 1 part 1) and has a 13 Amp (Figure 2 part 2) fused plug for extra protection.
When a device is in use, for example, in this case I will use a standard 19 inch television connected via a normal plug top (Figure 1 part 4), the current drawn by the set will be monitored by the electronic circuit of the Gadget Master (Figure IPart 3 and figure 2 part 2) and power will be maintained until the TV is switched to standby mode.
A reset button (Figure 2 part a)) is incorporated to re-instate power if the TV is to be switched ON again. A status LED (Figure 2 part 2a)) shows if the circuit is on load or not. A built in timer gives the user up to 30sec to switch ON the TV (Figure 1 part 4) before power is cut off again.
Figure 1 to accompany Detailed description.

Claims (6)

Claims.
1. The Gadget Master (Figure 1 part 3 and figure 2 part 2) comprises of electronic circuitry (non-repairable) but only one part of the circuitry can be replaced at the production plant if the equipment does not perform as expected. The embedded chip is the only part that can be replaced.
2. Special type of screws T-drive type shall be used for the enclosure so as to avoid tempering with the equipment and exposure to high voltages (220v ac/llOv ac).
3. Step down transformer, according to claim 2, is used for the control voltage with extra protection utilising an internal fuse and an external plug top (Figure 1 part 2 and figure 2 part 1) and 13Amp fuse.
4. A reset button enables the user to switch ON a particular piece of equipment which is plugged into a normal socket outlet of the Gadget Master, which they intend to use and not any other equipment which might use unnecessary power.
5. The Gadget Master shall comply with British Standards, CE and Institute of Electrical Engineers design standards and shall also take into account the Health and Safety international standards.
6. It shall be noted that multi-way adaptors shall not be used for any individual socket outlet of the Gadget Master according to claim 4.
