Patch Electrode Holder With Adhesive Friction-Fit Bio-Signal Mount

The patent merges multiple separate components (gaskets, PCBs, screws, contact structures) into a single integrated holder body. The electrically conductive contact structure is embedded directly into the holder through injection molding, eliminating the need for separate assembly steps and manual fastening operations. This integration directly resolves the contradiction by maintaining reliable electrical contacts while dramatically improving assembly speed and reducing yield problems.

The holder is designed as a multi-functional integrated component that simultaneously provides mechanical support, electrical conduction, and sealing functions. The single-piece construction performs multiple roles that previously required separate components, thereby simplifying the assembly process while ensuring reliable performance across all functions.

The manufacturing process merges the formation of the holder body and the electrically conductive contact structure into a single injection molding operation. The conductive material is injected directly into the mold cavity where it forms the contact structure integrated with the holder, eliminating the need for separate over-molding steps, assembly jigs, and manual positioning operations.

The injection molding process itself creates the precise positioning and integration of the conductive contact structure without requiring external assembly tools or fixtures. The mold design inherently ensures correct placement of conductive elements, making the process self-sufficient and eliminating complex auxiliary equipment.

The patent combines multiple manufacturing operations into a single injection molding process that produces the complete holder assembly with integrated conductive contacts in one step. This eliminates numerous assembly steps, reduces the need for manual labor, and minimizes opportunities for assembly errors, thereby improving manufacturing yield while reducing overall assembly costs.

The patent replaces complex mechanical assembly systems (screws, clips, adhesives, assembly jigs) with a single injection molding process. This substitution of manufacturing methodology eliminates the need for multiple assembly operations and reduces dependency on manual labor, directly improving yield and reducing costs.
