  Hereinafter, a grounding tool according to a mode for carrying out the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  The earthing | grounding tool 40 is equipped with the strip | belt-shaped part 10 and the chain 20 attached to the strip | belt-shaped part 10, as shown in FIG. When the belt-like portion 10 is wound around the ankle, and one end 22 of the chain 20 comes in contact with a grounded surface (ground means such as the ground, an earth jig, or a conductive material), electrostatic electricity charged on the human body Can be discharged to the ground or the like.

  The band portion 10 is formed of, for example, a plate-like member which is curved in a shape to be wound around an ankle, has conductivity, and is plastically deformable. The strip portion 10 is made of, for example, a conductive metal such as copper, aluminum, or brass, or a metal covering material thereof. And the shape of the strip part 10 can be freely changed by human force, and the shape can be maintained. The strip portion 10 has a mounting hole 11 for mounting the chain 20, a mounting ring, a mounting hook, and the like. And the chain 20 is attached to the strip | belt-shaped part 10 by an appropriate means, and is provided detachably. The ends 12, 13 of the strip 10 have a rounded shape and are preferably covered by a resin cover 14, 15. The length of the band portion 10 is a length suitable for being wound on a human body such as an ankle or a wrist, and preferably 15 to 30 cm. If wound around the ankle, the length of the strip 10 is preferably 25 cm, for example. The width of the strip 10 is preferably 0.5 to 2 cm, for example, 1 cm. The thickness of the strip 10 may be a thickness that can maintain its shape when wound around the ankle, and is preferably 0.5 to 2.0 mm. The strip 10 may be formed of a shape memory alloy.

  The chain 20 is composed of a large number of chain rings 2000, and the chain 20 is a portion which is suspended from the strip 10 and is in contact with the ground or the like, and is composed of a conductive member. For example, the chain 20 is made of metal such as copper, aluminum or brass. The chain 20 is composed of a large number of chain rings 2000, is attached to the belt-like portion 10, and is hooked to one of the large number of chain rings 2000, and can adjust the hanging length of the chain attachment ring 21 (connection Means). The attachment ring 21 is attached to the attachment hole 11 of the strip portion 10. The shape of the attachment ring 21 is not particularly limited as long as it is attached to the attachment hole 11 of the strip portion 10 and hooked to the chain ring 2000, and may be a circle such as a circle, an ellipse, or a triangle. Also, the mounting ring 21 may have a cut. By providing a cut in the mounting ring 21, the position at which the chain 20 is attached can be changed, and the length can be adjusted. Also, the mounting ring 21 may have no cut, and the chain ring 2000 of the chain 20 may have a cut. The length of the chain 20 is preferably 10 to 30 cm, as long as one end 22 of the chain 20 contacts the ground or the like when the strip 10 is attached to the ankle. The chain 20 can adjust the length at which the chain 20 is attached to the attachment ring 21 and the length of one end 22 of the chain 20. When it is desired to increase the length from the attachment ring 21 to the one end 22 of the chain 20, it is preferable to attach the attachment ring 21 in the vicinity of the other end 23 of the chain 20 as shown in FIG. When it is desired to shorten the length from the mounting ring 21 to one end 22 of the chain 20, as shown in FIG. 2 (B), the mounting ring 21 is at the middle between the longitudinal center of the chain 20 and the other end 23. It is good to attach to When it is desired to further shorten the length from the mounting ring 21 to the one end 22 of the chain 20, as shown in FIG. 2C, it may be attached to the mounting ring 21 near the middle of the chain 20 in the longitudinal direction. When the chain 20 is worn and shortened, the attachment position to the attachment ring 21 is changed, and the ground contact length to the ground is preferably at least 2 to 3 cm. The mounting ring 21 is made of a conductive copper wire.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the grounding tool 40 can be attached even from the ankles of bare feet, or from above with conductive socks made of copper fiber or the like. When the grounding tool 40 is attached to the ankle of the bare foot, one end 22 of the chain 20 contacts the ground or the like, and can discharge static electricity charged on the human body. In addition, static electricity can be eliminated, it is convenient, and very useful by only attaching the grounding tool 40 to an ankle or the like.

  According to the earthing | grounding tool 40 mentioned above, the strip | belt-shaped part 10 is easily wound around an ankle by being comprised from the plastically deformable plate-shaped member. In addition, since the strip portion 10 and the chain 20 have conductivity, static electricity charged on the human body can be discharged to the ground or the like. Further, the chain 20 can be attached to the strip 10 at a desired position, and the length at which the chain 20 is attached to the strip 10 and the length of one end 22 of the chain 20 can be adjusted. Thereby, the length which one end 22 of chain 20 contacts the ground etc. can be adjusted freely. Therefore, since the earthing tool 40 is always discharged, there is no charge in the human body, and static electricity is discharged when, for example, the doorknob is touched, and it is possible to prevent pain and discomfort. In particular, it is considered to be useful for the elimination of secondary disasters and / or obstacles caused by falling, falling, or hitting a furniture etc. upon discharge.

  Further, fine particles in the air can be prevented from being absorbed by the human body due to static electricity charged to the human body, and health damage can be prevented. In one example, there is a finding that it is effective for the amelioration of symptoms such as atopy, skin disorders, headache, or rash that are caused by failure to perform proper metabolism. That is, it is thought that the earthing | grounding tool 40 of this invention is useful for the various adverse effect cancellation which arises by accumulation of magnetism. In addition, current footwear, shoes, sandals, slippers, and other footwear can not discharge.

As shown in FIG. 6C, the bending portion 50a is crushed and fixed by a hand and / or a tool or the like when penetrating the mounting hole 11 of the strip portion 10. In addition, when the bent portion 50b is locked to the chain ring 2000, the bent portion 50b is crushed and fixed by a hand and / or a tool or the like.

(Modification 3)
FIG. 7 shows an example in which the ring 50 is used as an earthing device having only the chain 20, and after bending and fixing the bent portion 50b of the ring 50 to the chain ring 2000, The bent portion 50a is before crushing. Then, in FIG. 8A, the length of the chain 20 is fixed, and the bending portion 50b is locked and / or fixed to an appropriate chain ring 2000 to form the annular portion 20a. The annular portion 20a corresponds to the band-shaped portion 10 of the basic shape described above.

  Moreover, in FIG.8 (b), the annular body 50 can also be utilized as fixation (band-like part 10) of the chain 20, and / or length adjustment (latching). That is, this example is an example in which the band portion 10 is not used (example of only the chain 20). In this example, the length adjustment can be performed by locking or fixing the ring 50 at one or more locations of the chain ring 2000 (two locations in FIG. 8B). In this example, the annulus 50 is locked to the chain ring 2000 to form an annulus 20a of the chain 20, and this annulus 20a is sheathed on the ankle. Others conform to the respective examples shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 described above.
