Shoes with electrostatical grounding

Abstract

The shoes with electrostatic grounding includes a sole, connected to the top of the shoes, an insole placed on the sole, and an electro conductive element, made as one or more rivets, connecting the sole with the insole and providing reliable electric contact between the user's body and a ground under the user's shoes.

Description

[0001] This invention uses the transmission of our co-pending application Ser. No. 60 / 695,809, Filed 2005 Jul. 01.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention concerns footwear, namely the shoes containing electro conductive elements, taking place in a contact of a user's foot and a ground under the user's shoes. [0003] It is well known, that the electrostatic electricity inevitably accumulates on a human's body. This is adversely reflected on a person's health and it's environmental problem demands immediate and radical decision. [0004] It is obvious, that the use of a footwear made of rubber and other synthetic materials creates a very serious problem for human health, especially when such materials are used in shoe insoles and soles. However, these materials have received the greatest utilization in manufacturing sports footwear and inexpensive daily footwear, which are used by a prevailing part of the population. [0005] Antistatic footwear plays a very important role...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0013] The electro conductive element made as one or several rivets, placed in a toecap and a heel areas of the insole and the sole, and which provides a reliable contact between the user's body and a ground under his shoes.

[0014] A metal alloy, which possesses high electro conductivity and anticorrosive stability, is used in a material for electro conductive element, which provides effective removal of electrostatic charge from the user's body and meets sanitary-and-hygienic requirements of the shoes.

[0015] The offered invention stands out with it's exclusive simplicity in design of electro conductive element, and in addition, allows the use of the inexpensive and widely widespread materials (for example, alloys on a basis Cu or Al) for its manufacturing.

Problems solved by technology

It is well known, that the electrostatic electricity inevitably accumulates on a human's body.

This is adversely reflected on a person's health and it's environmental problem demands immediate and radical decision.

It is obvious, that the use of a footwear made of rubber and other synthetic materials creates a very serious problem for human health, especially when such materials are used in shoe insoles and soles.

Antistatic footwear plays a very important role in the electronic industry, where the presence of electrostatic electricity on a worker's body leads to inevitable defects in products created by this worker.

In most cases these devices are quite complex and bulky, which raises the price and reduces the consumer's appeal.
