[Explanation of Examples]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

In FIG. 1, 1 is a receiving plate of the hook-and-loop fastener F, 11 is a substrate (woven from fibers) of this receiving plate 1, and loop fibers 12, 12 . ...is highlighted. The fibers of these substrates 11 and the loop fibers 12 are plated with metal. A silver chloride layer 111 is formed on the back surface of the substrate 11 by chemical treatment. Further, 2 is an electrode paste layer, which is coated on the lower surface of the silver chloride layer 111. This electrode paste layer 2 corresponds to the electrode member of the present invention. 3 is an annular protective cover, and the receiving plate (
It is externally fitted and fixed to the hook-and-loop fastener (F)1. This protective cover 3 protects the electrode paste layer 2. Reference numeral 4 denotes a disc-shaped release paper, which is releasably adhered to the back surface of the protective cover 3. Then, the electrode member is installed by peeling off the release paper 4 and adhering the back side of the protective cover 3 to a human body or the like.

On the other hand, 5 is a locking plate of the hook-and-loop fastener in the connector member C, 51 is a substrate (woven from fibers) of this locking plate 5, and locking fibers 52, 52. ...is highlighted. The locking fibers 52 are removably hooked to the loop fibers 12 of the receiving plate 1.

Incidentally, the fibers of these substrates 51 and the locking fibers 52 are plated with metal as in the case of the receiving plate 1. 6 is a polyester layer, which is stacked on the back surface (top surface) of the group Fi51. Further, 7 is a copper crystal layer, which is fixed to the upper surface of the polyester layer 6 in an overlapping state.

These polyester layer 6 and copper crystal layer 7 exhibit a shielding effect. Incidentally, in order to install the polyester layer 6 and the copper crystal layer 7, it is preferable to adhere these layers 6.7 in the form of a tape in advance for convenience of manufacture. 8 is a -8 shield wire, which connects the shield portion 81 to the crystal copper layer 7 and the conductive wire 82 to the substrate (of the locking plate 5) 51.

When connecting the connector member C to the electrode member 2, the locking plate 5 of the hook-and-loop fastener F in the connector member C is replaced with the receiving plate of the hook-and-loop fastener F in the electrode member 2, just like connecting a conventional hook-and-loop fastener. 1, and the locking fibers 52, 52, . . . of the locking plate 5 are hooked to the loop fibers 12, 12°, .

In the embodiment, the loop fibers 12.1 of the receiving plate 1
2. ... and the fibers of the substrate 11, the locking fibers 52, 52 of the locking plate 5. ... and the fibers of the substrate 51 are plated with metal, but it is also possible to manufacture using metal fibers from the beginning.

Further, as another embodiment, the receiving plate 1 of the hook-and-loop fastener F can be used as an electrode and directly attached to clothing to remove static electricity generated on the clothing.

In the above embodiment, the receiving plate 1 of the hook-and-loop fastener F was installed on the electrode member 2, and the locking plate 5 was installed on the connector member C, but the receiving plate 1 was installed on the connector member C,
This does not prevent the locking plate 5 from being installed on the electrode member 2.
