Abstract

An electrostatic discharge device that, being a data entry interface for computer equipment cable, called a cable mouse, includes a conductive zone (zones 1 and/or 2, fig. 1 and 2) on the surface of the housing of the computer. Mouse, or integrated forming part of it, that connected to a high-value internal impedance (3) and its other end connected to ground or ground of the data interface (mouse by cable), derive, through its own cable unión with the computer equipment, the static electricity accumulated in the user to the ground of the building.

Description

Electrostatic discharge device.

Object of the invention

The present invention, as expressed in the set forth in this specification, refers to the integration in the circuit of the cable mice of the terminals informatics of a device (Fig. -3) which has been conceived and done to get an extra function that reports notable advantages in terms of well-being, comfort, safety and health.

The device is designed to dissipate earth the electrostatic charge accumulated by users of computer terminals housed in buildings that due to their Insulating composition of plastics and fabrics generate a lot of static electricity.

This invention is an economical, discrete method. and convenient for dissipation of accumulated electrostatic charge by users of computer equipment in offices and homes, composed of a conductive part (1 or 2) attached, or that forming part of the mouse housing by cable, and in the permanent area contact with the user's hand during use, derives the static electricity to ground through an impedance (3) of high value protection.

Background of the invention

Personal download device known from the electrostatic charge accumulated by equipment operators electronic and computer that through a bracelet connected to Earth drifts static electricity protecting from damage to electronic circuits.

This type of grounded bracelets is a method that is not practical, nor aesthetic in offices and homes, and that It would also generate great expectation and insecurity for staff external.

Also known are footwear, carpets, chairs and another series of anchors and various gadgets, which present great difficulty in its use and implementation, inexpensive, and do not ensure the permanent and direct contact of the user with a point of Electrostatic charge dissipation.

Description of the invention

The invention consists in adding a zone conductive (1 or 2) in the mouse housing, or as part of it, is connected to a high value impedance (3) that by its other end connected to ground or mouse mass derives the static electricity to the building's ground through the equipment Person who is dedicated to computer science. This device, in addition to downloading the load Electrostatic, will do it in a smooth way so that the user does not support the inconvenience caused by static electricity produced by sudden discharges.

Description of a practical embodiment

A possible practical realization consists of include a conductive band on both sides of the housing of the mouse where the fingers are placed to move the same or in the palm area, connected by a connector to a 1 MegaOhm internal resistance specially designed for this task, which in turn connects to the earth or ground the connection cable of the data input interface (mouse) to computer equipment, and that through it is attached to the earth of the building.

Claims (1)

1. Electrostatic discharge device that being an equipment data input interface computer, called cable mouse, include a zone conductive (zones 1 and / or 2, fig. 1 and 2) on the surface of the Mouse housing, or integrated as part of it, which connected at a high value internal impedance (3) and at the other end grounded or ground of the data interface (wired mouse), drift, through its own connection cable with the equipment computing, static electricity accumulated in the user to the building land.
