Problems solved by technology

Dangling ground wires also increase the chance of accidents at work
[0008] A second disadvantage is that said ground wire requires a continuous ground monitor for ground integrity and reliability
The cost of acquiring ground monitoring equipment, its routine calibration, repair and maintenance would make the ground wire grounding method an uneconomical static control task

Embodiment Construction

[0026] In the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known methods, procedures and / or components have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the present invention. Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiments of the invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

[0027] The word "conductive" as described herein means that a material has the ability to conduct static electricity or electrostatic charges away when grounded. which includes static dissipation (usually defined as 1x10 5 to 1x10 11 ohms) or conductive (usually defined as less than 1x10 5 ohms) material. For the sake of clarity, the word "conductive" is used throughout this disclosure.

Abstract

An electrostatic discharge garment (10) having a body (11) and a pair of sleeves (12a, 12b) comprises a continuous electrically conductive path (17) provided along the length of the sleeve (12a) and extended along the substantial length of a corresponding side of said body (11), a conductive means (18) adapted to be in contact with the wrist of said wearer (28) and connected to said electrically conductive path (17) to form an electrical continuity path from said wearer (28) to said garment (10), and a plurality of conductive lines (19) horizontally extended from said electrically conductive path (17) across said body (11) in the vicinity of said wearer's buttock is pressed upon the seat of an electrostatic discharge (ESD) chair (21) when said wearer (28) is in sitting position.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an electrostatic discharge (ESD) garment designed as a grounding medium that does not require a ground wire, which results in the economical and efficient use of this unique technology. Background technique [0002] The primary goal of using ESD workwear is to control contamination and shield any electrostatic fields from the wearer's inner clothing. [0003] In an industrial manufacturing environment, it is impractical to use standard ESD coveralls as a grounding medium due to the loss or failure of electrical characteristics after a certain number of launderings (typically after 50 standard laundering cycles). Washing will cause the black conductive liner to lose its electrical properties and, over time, fail to meet the required resistivity standards practical in the electronics manufacturing industry. [0004] US5548469 highlights an ESD coverall for grounding electrostatic charges. This prior art utilizes a dual ...
